Cross

CROSS

Have you ever stood next to a fire and felt the heat of it on your skin? Stared into the flames and thought how amazing it would be to be that free? It changes direction with the wind, destroying everything in its wake.

That''s what she felt like.

Alexa was a wildfire that torched everything she touched, and I couldn''t wait to be consumed by her.

She was off-limits. Even though I promised to stay away, I couldn''t resist. She was the spark I had been missing in my life. The fire I craved. I knew from an early age I was destined to burn in hell, but she was born to walk through fire.

ALEXA

I was single-minded, focused, and independent. Just how my mother raised me. I didn''t have time for anything other than myself and work.

Funny how everything can change in an instant when you least expect it.

A King entered my life.

What was supposed to be one night ended up being too many to count. He was afraid that I''d see his darkness, but I couldn''t get enough of him.

After all, a fire burns the brightest in the dark of night. And it only takes one match to cause total devastation.
