Forbidden You by Teresa Wolf

People call me “Ox” for a reason.
I’m tall, muscular, and handsome by anyone’s standards. Not even my scars can take away from my devilishly good looks.
Riley is my exact opposite.
She is tiny, gentle, and kind. In fact, I’m realizing she’s too good for this world I put her in.
My only mission was to follow her, protect her — at all costs. It’s the least I can do.
What caught me off guard was how she blossomed in the span of 12 years.
Now, my mind keeps traveling to her soft curves. Her innocence haunts my dreams at night, her very being during the day.
I have spiraled into an obsession that can’t be undone.
Riley must be mine.
