Burn Me Down

I didn't deserve a happily ever after, and yet my dark heart beat harder with just a touch.The world had turned its back on Derek West and called him a monster. My best friend wanted to protect me from him. When I looked into his eyes I saw a man broken from trauma and abuse. His heart was scarred worse than his body but it beat for me. From our first touch, he ignited my soul and set my heart ablaze. I loved him and I was never turning my back on him. Derek never had anyone fight for him, but he’d never met anyone like me.
