Excerpt
I can't stop thinking about Kingston--the man is a walking contradiction.
Most of the time, he's broody and mysterious, in a totally sexy way--like catnip for the female population. But when he's with the guys outside of school, he's laid back and even goofy sometimes. With Ainsley and me and hell, even Belle, he's super-protective, and there are these moments where he's incredibly thoughtful or kind. Regardless of which Kingston you're getting at the time, there's always this underlying rage I don't think many people pick up on. Or maybe they don't understand the extent of it.
I remember watching a video during my freshman year science class about the Mount St. Helens eruption. The landscape was breathtaking, loved by outdoor enthusiasts, or simply anyone searching for a peaceful place to spend their day. The volcano sat quietly for over one hundred years, all the while, pressure was building beneath the surface. There was sufficient evidence of its impending reawakening, but the reports weren't taken seriously enough by the general public. Tourists continued flocking to the area--some even evading roadblocks and ignoring air restrictions--until the perfect combination of events causing a cataclysmic explosion. The eruption was so powerful, it literally blew the top off the mountain, killing everyone in the vicinity.
Kingston reminds me of that volcano. If you don't look beyond his surface beauty, if you ignore the warning signs, you're putting yourself at risk. He's dangerous--perhaps even deadly--and I'd be a fool to forget that.
