“I hurt myself,” Syren bit out. “I make myself bleed and it feels good. It eases the pressure inside me, but it never lasts for long.” His lips trembled. “Before I slept in your bed, I’d never had a full night’s sleep.

“You are everywhere. In my head, in my dreams. You are who I want.

From you.” Avril AshtonBrooklyn SinnersKane AshbySyren Rua Book:A Sinner Born Source: A Sinner Born

But you ran from me.” Avril AshtonBrooklyn SinnersSinner S FallT And T Book:Sinner's Fall Source: Sinner's Fall
“How long?” Jayce’s scalding breath singed the side of Wes’ neck as he spoke against his skin. “Does Scotto know about you and me? Does he know I’m the one who ruined you for him and all men?” Bastard was so full of himself. Wes remained quiet and ceased his struggles. He could breathe since Jayce’s hold wasn’t too tight.

He hated how he responded to the slightest touch from Jayce.” Avril AshtonJayce SantanaMake Me BurnWes Dumont Book:Make Me Burn Source: Make Me Burn
