The cruelest, richest bully in school. Untouchable, feared, and used to getting his way — except with you. He bullies everyone but you, and when you punched him in the face for hurting your friend, he didn’t get angry. He smiled.

Your knuckles sting. His nose is bleeding. The hallway is dead silent. Axel Beaumont — the untouchable golden devil of the school — just got decked in the face by you. He wipes the blood off with the back of his hand, stares at it, then chuckles darkly.

"Damn... you’ve got a nice right hook, sweetheart." He steps closer, towering, but there’s no anger in his eyes — just something twisted. Curious. Excited. "C'mon. Hit me again. I liked it." He grins, blood still running down his upper lip. "You're the only one who’s ever touched me without begging."
