Conflicting emotions Quote by Alessandra Hazard
““buried his face in Tristan’s hair. He inhaled greedily, trying to make sense of his conflicting emotions. Protectiveness. Disgust with how easily Tristan got under his skin and made him want to do whatever Tristan wanted. Possessiveness. And want. So much want. He wanted to taste the boy, to touch him, to get inside of him. To own him. Tristan””
