I'm the one she should have stayed away from.
The thief, the hustler, the boy without a past or a future. A kid forged by the rules of the streets.
She sees into my darkest depths and doesn't blink an eye. She's my dream, my peace from a place I can never escape.
Then one day, she's gone, whisked into a world I refuse to taint with my touch.
Fifteen years later, she's back in my life, needing a favor only I can provide.
The street rat she once knew is now king of an empire, where every favor comes at a price.
A price, she says she is more than willing to pay. But the cost is all of her...body, mind, and
soul
.
