The Enlightened

My secret's out. Reed knows the truth. The destruction's done. There's no taking it back. Reed took all my firsts like a shiny present. He made promises with silky words I greedily kept as truths. But the moment I faltered, he took away everything. Now we're both guilty of sins. As we come together for Grandfather Ian's funeral, it's time to face what I've done-what we've done. The boy I've loved since age eight is now a man; his rage palpable, his turquoise eyes piercing me with an intensity that sets me on fire. Each delicious kiss seems to peel away our ugly past- a past we're desperate to escape. They say forgiveness comes from within. Can I trust him to forgive me? Have we both been enlightened? I used to believe in the fantasy of a happily ever after. Trouble is my life's not a fairy tale. The Enlightened is second in The Entitled duet. The story begins in The Entitled.
