This is a dark romance novel containing blackmail, coercion, power imbalance, psychological manipulation, degradation, humiliation and other mature explicit elements. Not intended for all readers.
I shouldn't desire her, but as soon as she walked into my lecture hall, something inside me broke—a deep, acute hunger took hold of me and never left. So, I test her. I challenge her, corner her with questions, watch her squirm under my gaze. I make her nervous on purpose because I like to see the fear on her face.
I know I'm cruel. I know I go too far. But it's the only way I can touch her without touching her. She thinks I hate her. I don't. I want her. I need her to be submissive, breathless, broken, and begging. But I can't have her. Not without consequences.
I know what she needs, even if she doesn't know it herself. And I'll break her until she knows she needs me too. She's mine. She just doesn't know it yet.
