Nothing good could come from falling for Dante. He was the forbidden fruit I should never have tasted, the apple of his gangbanging father?s eye. If the law didn?t get to me first, I would suffer worse by his father?s hand.
So, I tried to push Dante away, tried so hard not to give in to the beautiful temptation sitting in the back row of my classroom. Because I knew if I gave in to him, he could ruin my life, shattering everything that I held dear: my marriage, my career, my freedom.
But I couldn?t resist him.
And now I was going to suffer the consequences.
