Dirty Lust — K. Renee

Ethan Black I thought that letting her go would protect her. Watching her walk away from me was the biggest mistake of my life. She's the air I breathe and the one thing I've always wanted. She doesn't know what she means to me, but I'm prepared to protect her no matter the cost. Heartbreak. It's the way I live while she's gone and seeing the light dim in her eyes doesn't make it easier. I need her just as she needs me, but can she forgive me for walking away? Riley Carter Ethan pushed me away and for the first time in a long time, I felt alone. I thought that maybe getting back out there would make me feel alive again, but all it did was bring me more hurt. The type of hurt that Holden caused was way worse than the pain Ethan left me with. I will do whatever it takes to protect Ethan and his sister, even if it kills me. I will live my life as a shell of my former self to protect the ones that I love.
