When sheโs close to the bathroom, I glance around to see if anyone is watching before grabbing her around the waist and pulling her into the first VIP room I can find. She screams, but the loud thumping of the bass covers any noise she makes.
I pull her further into the pitch-black room and force her body against the wall. I can smell her perfume. So fucking intoxicating.
โPlease let me go,โ she begs as I keep her pinned in place. I like the fear in her voice. I like thatโs she scared right now.
I donโt say anything as I push her chest harder against the wall. Her head is turned to the side, and I can feel her tears as I bring my face down. I smile, knowing I made her cry. I want to make Ray cry. I want her to feel what we felt all those years.
โI love it when you cry,โ I whisper. Iโm certain she wouldnโt remember my voice, and if she did, Iโm sure Ray has forgotten by now.
โWhat do you want?โ she asks, her voice hitching when she does.
โTo see you cry,โ I tell her.
โPlease, let me go,โ she begs. I move closer, pressing my body against hers harder now. Thereโs no letting her go now.

MY REVIEW:
Tables turn in this bullying romance. The high school in crowd bullies the โstraysโ, a bunch of kids from the wrong side of town, until a gap year takes a twist as the strays take bullying to a new level. This has a different feel than most bully romances Iโve read. It starts out fast without much character development and weโre immediately pulled into the enemies turned lovers relationship between stray Zaryn and princess Ray. Zaryn has always had a thing for Ray and he sees her in a way no one else does. Ray has a few demons and sheโs in a lot of pain with a destructive way of dealing. But there are secrets about Ray that has Zaryn changing his perception of her even as he takes his revenge in a toying manner. There are twists and turns as the strays take their revenge out on their bullies and reveal the dark truths. The romance is interesting as Zaryn bullies Ray into a hot mess and she loves it. Some of the actions seemed a little advanced for these teens with a few BDSM elements. It was an intriguing read with an intense darkness to the bullying, justified revenge and a sexy romance.
