Sinful Promise

EMILY
Hes the guy Ive been crushing on since my sister married his brother.
Danil Koslov, the youngest Koslov brother.
And the sexiest, if you ask me.
Weve been friends for a while now, but something has shifted in our relationship.
Only thing is, Im not sure if he feels the same way.
When I find out his brother ordered him to follow me to protect me from a stalker,
I feel betrayed.
Is that the only reason hes been getting closer to me,
To prove to something to his brothers?
I dont know what to think anymore.
The only thing I do know is that these feelings arent going anywhere


DANIL
All Ive ever wanted was the respect of my brothers.
When Dimitri offers me the chance to prove how valuable I can be,
I jump at the chance.
All I have to do is keep an eye on Emily,
Ive had a crush on her for years.
I want to tell her how I feel, but Im afraid of ruining our friendship.
When we kiss, I feel sparks.
Im sure she does too.
Then she finds out Ive been keeping things from her.
She thinks Ive betrayed her trust.
But Im determined to keep her safe.
Even if she hates me for it.
The last thing Im going to do is let someone hurt her.
