It's a dark romance, and from what she told me, it's extremely smutty.

“It's later, Little Sinner,” he growls, taking my lips with his, biting it and making me moan.

“Uh, I'll just come back,” Ash murmurs, and I shake my head. Levi releases me, and I sit next to him.

“Ash, if we are going to move on, you're going to have to start joining us. We can take things slow, or maybe just have some one on one time?”

I glance at Levi and he nods, but Ash shakes his head. He jumps onto the bed, laying on top of me, kissing me hard and furiously before Levi even has a chance to leave.

Well, okay then. I spread my thighs, making room for Ash, and he grunts, rubbing his jean-covered cock against my wetness.

“Fuck, I've missed you,” he mumbles and I smile.

“I always knew you'd come back to me,” I whisper, tipping my head back so I can look into his eyes.

He gives me a smirk, before going back to my lips once more.

“I'm home,” he mutters as I wrap myself around him tighter. I don’t ever want to let him go again.

ASH

Only in my dreams did I think I'd be here again. Chastity and I have always had a rough relationship.

I was a complete asshole to her in the beginning, and for a while there, after Isa started to assault me, I thought this was karma.

They say what goes around comes back around, and I have been up, down, dragged along the corridors, and now I'm back from Hell.

I know now that I didn't deserve the abuse, but back then, when I was out of my mind on Paradise, and broken beyond repair, it was hard to think otherwise.

“Hey, where did you go?” Chastity asks, placing her palm against my cheek. I look into her gray eyes and sigh.

She's so beautiful. If anyone was to know and understand the hell that I've been through, it would be her.

I press another kiss to her lips, then roll off her. “I need to tell you some things before we can go any further,” I grumble and Levi turns to leave us alone, but I want him here too.

“No, stay.” I grab his arm, and he gives me a quick look over, to make sure he should.

“Jonas knows a little already, and I'm sure Bast has figured it out.”

Nodding, he moves to the other side of our girl and scoops her into his arms. She smiles and pats his wrist.

I'm jealous at how easy it is for them. Hopefully, one day, I can feel comfortable with people touching me again.

“Isabella used and abused me for almost a year. She's working with some bad, evil, soulless men, and they have created a drug called Paradise. It paralyzes your body, but your mind is still very much alert.”

“Oh, Ash,” Chastity gasps, but I need to finish this.

“I resisted at first. She’d use me, but it wouldn't last long. Afterwards, she would be embarrassed that she couldn't make me come, so I’d be beaten and locked in a cell until she wanted me again. This went on for months, until I finally just accepted my new fate.”

I'm so ashamed that I let her do these things to me, and I even started to crave the drug.

“I don't think any less of you, Ash. You did what you had to do to survive and come back home to us.”

Chastity pulls me into her arms and I break. She's so kind and loving, and I don't deserve her, but I'll be damned if I'm ever going to let her go again.

Chapter 13

My head is throbbing, and I’m about to yell at Bastian to turn the damn music down. He’s always blasting it while he cooks.
