Strawberry blonde hair twisted in ato frame a soft jaw

Dark-rie, oblivious to the busy world around her

Drenched in sunlight on the campus lawn

And the sweetest hips and tits I'd ever seen

I set acquired

"When?"

A single question

"Tonight," I answered, continuing to watch So my nuts so hard I could barely breathe

"Why not now? Let's get it over with," my buddy Tito Sanchez countered, impatient, twitchy "This place ed assholes, you knohat I mean?"

I s her

"Nice toup rowled, the torque shaking the frath "Now I knohy your brother has been hiding you all this time"

"She's hot," Tito observed, adding, "Nice and thick, too Enough meat to hold onto"

I agreed Holly was an unexpected surprise

A gift hand-delivered and placed right at my feet

Perfect for my plans

Holly had no idea I was the predator and she was the prey

Recently, I discovered that Butcher Brannon, leader of the Ice Town Rebels, had a little sister he'd been trying to keep secret

But the thing about secrets was that eventually, someone talked

And that's exactly what happened when I started applying pressure to one inside Brannon's inner circle

It's a how quickly people talk when extreme pain was involved

Which brought e carime, shit and piss that people like Butcher and myself often called home

"So what's the plan?" Tito asked "Slap her around a bit? Maybe have a little fun? I wouldn'ta look at those soft titties"

I cast a sharp look at Tito, instantly fighting a growl that cairl was mine She didn't know it yet but I did

Don't ask me how I knew

Tito raised his hands "Hey ot a plan?"

Yeah, and it was simple

Holly lived in a small apartment complex, bottom floor, not far from the campus

Each night she walked alone to her place, after spendi

ng hours in the library

I couldn't i in a place filled with nothing but books

I hated to read

I'd been watching her for days; I knew her pattern

I was a bonafide stalker

But I would do anything to brutalize Butcher's soft spot

Even break a pretty young thing like Holly

The 'Cuda ru

Soon, Holly

Soon

Chapter 2

Holly

My senses pricked, sending the hair onas if a cold breeze had licked rees today, al in the sun

I rubbed at hed Once again, I'd lost track of time

That happened more times than not

But burying my nose in a book was my preferred relaxation of choice

With finals breathing down et

There it was again, that sense that I was being watched

Ridiculous, I know Too ht movies and buttered popcorn

But for the past week, I couldn't shake the feeling that eyes were on me

Cataloging my every move

A shaky laugh escaped as I realized how patently ridiculous it was to fear such a thing

No one was paying any attention to me

I was the invisible girl here on campus

I didn't fit in — I didn't want to fit in — I just wanted to get ree and move on

I didn't even want to come here but my brother had insisted

Seeing as he was paying for ue

But Cornwall University was filled with people I had nothing in co with me when my brother had sent me off

It was also so I was used to

My brother had always paid forschool all the way to university

Of course, he was a lot older than me

We shared the same daddy, different moms

At least that was the story I was too young to remember All I'd ever known of my family was Butcher

I suppose he felt soh ere practically strangers

His answer had been to ship h

So in the library here you'd always find me

With nored by everyone else around me

Books were my sanctuary, my friend, my solace

But sometimes I wished that I wasn't quite so invisible

That maybethere was soirl who probably enjoyed chocolate ice crea on the sofa watching a roether

Someone who could look past the fact that my brother, Jaangs in New York

Yeah Right

Now you knohy I kept to myself

Books were safer
