Defy is a smutty, insta-love, insta-lust short novella. Defy is a prequel to Vicious (Sinners of Saint #1). It is recommended, but unnecessary, to read Defy before reading Vicious.My name is Melody Greene, and I have a confession to make.I slept with my student, a senior in high school.Multiple times.I had multiple orgasms.In multiple positions.I slept with my student and I enjoyed it.I slept with my student and I'd do it all over again if I could turn back time.My name is Melody Greene, and I got kicked out of my position as a teacher and did my walk of shame a la Cersei Lannister from the principal's office, minutes after said principal threatened to call the cops on me.My name is Melody Greene, and I did something bad because it made me feel good.Here is why it was totally worth it.

“I would always rather be happy than dignified.” - Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre 

‘My name is Melody Greene, and I did something bad because it made me feel good.’

“Seems to me like I fucked your car up, ms. Greene.” 

‘Usually, he seemed to despise her, but he was studying her so intently,’ 

“You’re it. You’re so. Fucking. It. Smart, sassy, and witty, and unimpressed with all the wealth and bullshit drama around you. You have no idea how hot you are. Which makes you even hotter. This is fucking happening, baby. 

‘There was a little earthquake—a literal one—that moved some of the boxes as we made this agreement. I though it was a coincidence. It wasn’t. It was the devil in hell down below, rattling the earth with his laughter. Laughing at me. 

‘I sloped my chin down, biting a smile. He, too, grinned at his shoes. We were giddy. I liked that. I liked that and I hated that I liked that.’

‘That didn’t feel forbidden, or bad. Just a boy and a girl liking each other.’

‘Dean Cole had his elbows on his desk, leaning forward, drinking her words like they were oxygen. And Vicious? He looked at her like she was his.’

“I think I like you,” I muttered, pressing my face to his muscled torso in a hug. 

I felt his heartbeat under my ear.  “I think I like you back.”
