Shaking my head, I didn’t bother to protest. I knew Lauren well enough to know that regardless of what I said, she would do what she wanted. She loved me, but she was independent-minded and not going to let my opinion of her actions, regardless of how stupid it might be, stop her.
“Perfect,” Smalls said in a creepy tone. He licked his lips as he began, the needle buzzing in his hand. My eyes, which I had tried to focus on the busy walls, instantly followed the needle to Lauren’s stomach. Her hand reached out and grabbed mine, squeezing me hard. As the needle began to graze her skin, a light layer of blood appeared. Smalls paused and used a cloth to wipe away some of the blood that was now seeping through the design he was cutting into her flesh.
My stomach began to churn, and I could feel my face getting hotter. My breath began to falter and I could sense everything around me changing. In one instant I was standing next to Lauren, holding her hand for support. In the next moment, I was seeing stars, as the world around me became a blur. The last thing I heard was Lauren scream my name before my head slammed against the hard, cement floor.

The new Lizzie is a motivated, and determined girl. She has a dream and nothing is going to get in the way of her success.
Spencer Chase is sexy, mysterious, and exactly what Lizzie wants, but doesn't need. He spends his days working and his nights brooding alone. After spending his childhood being a punching bag for his father, Spencer found an outlet with MMA fighting- which worked until he was injured and forced to quit as he hit his prime in the fighting world. Now, working security at one of Las Vega's premier casinos, he prefers to spend his time alone. However, with only one glance, Spencer's world came crashing down on him as he found himself feeling anxious, intrigued, and deeply drawn to the new girl Lizzie working at his casino, Chase finds himself fighting himself to stay away from her. Only, Chase isn't as strong as he believed. The strong sexual tension and powerful chemistry pull these two characters together for one emotionally charged and controlling relationship.
Now, the pair find that their desire to be together has sparked a raging fire deep inside the other that makes them share their dark secrets and fight against their own demons. After sharing one passionate night together, Spencer learns he can't live without Lizzie and she realizes his overbearing need to protect and control her excites her more than it scares her. While they both believe they are safe together, neither are prepared for the fire they create and the trouble that comes from their new and intense relationship.
In Faded, fall in love with dark stories and intense lust.
