Aspen + Knox 

“Every action has a consequence…”

Bully Step siblings romance. He’s so dark, like bdsm pain vibes dark. But it really makes sense why once you know. trope plot of aspen is a good girl but she’s really not and has a void in her that Knox also has. time jump ending. 

Dub con. Small anal. Slow burn. Horrible abusive home life. Blackmail. Stripper. Fingering. Murder.
