Quote by Penelope Douglas

“My body slammed into his. “Let me out!” I screamed again. “My sister is ready for you. Always ready for you. Why don’t you bring her in here?” He picked me up again, this time wrapping his arms around me like a steel band, my arms pinned to my body under his tight hold. “Why bother with her when there’s you?” he taunted. “I like you.”
