Unfortunately my best friend's little sister is NOT most people.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>She's not afraid of me at all. But she should be. She doesn't know the secrets I'm hiding.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Look Lucia Demarco is a handful.

I promised my best friend on his deathbed that I'd always take care of her.

And I absolutely refuse to give in to her sunny smile or sharp wit.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I can be strong. Or will I risk just one taste?</span></p>
