Ember:

He's my teacher, though I'm no child. I know he wants me, feels something for me, but he's holding back

I'm a Cross, so I'm not above using every manipulative tool at my disposal to win him over. My dads might disagree, might even want to kill him, but I know he's meant for me. I just need to force him to see that too. Oh, and keep him alive.

If I can fight my fear of men, and let him touch me, then how dare he decide it's ‘not right'?

Ethan:

She's my student, but she's no child. I've tried to convince her, and myself, that it's not right.

I was a good man once, but she destroyed my life, simultaneously taking everything from me, and leaving me with nothing… except her. It'll probably get me killed, but since my life is all I have left to lose, do I really care?

Her family are a bunch of psychos, so I don't get why they disapprove of my desire to keep her, own her, and breed her. We'll probably both end up dead, but at least we'll be together.

Forbidden love between a student and the teacher her twisted parents trusted to do the right thing. Was it ever going to be that easy for him, when tempted by the most manipulative woman he's ever met? When everything is lost, is there really any reason in trying to be good anymore?
