I will kill anyone who touches you. So be careful of who you let close.
The Sun God (Helios)
College billionaire heartbreaker Helios Andreadis might be named after the sun god, but everyone in Christopoulos University knows the President of the Afxisi --- a frat by day and underground racing club by night --- is the opposite. Helios is moody, brooding, and unforgiving...but girls still line up year after year for a chance to serve him.
Helios only trusts his brothers in Afxisi, but when shy and clumsy first-year student MJ literally crashes into his life, his heart races full throttle. Helios despises the way MJ makes him vulnerable, and he hates her even more when he finds out she's only joined their club...because she's chasing someone else.

They hated each other at first sight, but then he saw her coming out of the shower...and everything changes. Leandro knows he has to have her...even if it means pretending he has a heart to lose
*************FULL BOOK START HERE*************
“I’M BEGINNING TO WONDER if your secret crush even exists at all. Or maybe it’s all a product of a cunningly crafted strategy so you can flirt with everyone, have everyone’s attention, and nobody will think you’re a slut—”
MJ’s slap cut the rest of his words off.
For a moment, they stared at each other. MJ’s eyes flashed with hurt anger. Helios’ gaze seared her with contempt...and something else that she couldn’t name.
And then he moved.
The next thing she knew, he had her half-lying on the table and he was standing between her legs. “No one ever touches me.”
That was when she remembered Hallie’s words.
And her heart broke.
The pain his cruel words had caused left her, pushed away by the pain she felt for him. She whispered, “I’m sorry. I won’t ever touch you without your permission. I’m sorry.”
There was so much she wanted to say but knew it wasn’t the right time to say any of them. So she could only stay quiet and immobile, looking at him and yearning. She yearned to touch him. She yearned to touch him so he would know he wasn’t alone. The same way that she had thought of him all these years, all those times she had lain on the ground and told herself that she wasn’t alone because somewhere in the world, there was a person like him who could save her. Who would want to save her.
Just wanting to save her was enough.
“Don’t look at me like that.” His voice was raspy with need. With her soft and pliant body under his, Helios knew it would never be the same between them again. Now that he knew how she felt, how perfect she damn felt next to him, it would not be the same. He wanted to fuck her, wanted to possess her, wanted her to make him her world.
But something had changed, Helios realized. One moment, she was hurt and confused. The next moment, she wasn’t. Instead, she was...she was looking at him like she wanted to be kissed. Like she wanted to be touched. Like she wanted to be his.
His breath hissed out. She felt so fucking nice under him. He wanted to touch her skin, wanted to feel her hair curl in his hand, wanted to know the shape of her breast.
He watched her brow furrow.
And then she asked, “Is this okay?”
A pained laugh escape him. He had told her not to look at him a certain way, and she had taken him literally. No one was like her. No one. And, Helios realized grimly, that was exactly why he wanted her.
MJ’s frown had Helios looking grimmer, and she tried to scowl instead. At that moment, she would have done just about anything he asked her. Anything just to make sure he would never think of the time when he was made to feel alone and rejected. Screwing up her face in her most terrifying scowl, she asked, “What about this?”
The question, asked so earnestly, destroyed what little hold he had over his passion. Helios managed to say, “I don’t like how you look when you’re scowling either.”
“Then how do you want me to look at you?”
“Like you’ve had the best kiss in your life.”
MJ’s lips parted. “H-how do I even...”
“Like this,” Helios growled, and he finally did what he had always wanted to do the first time he saw her. He covered her mouth with his, and when she gasped in surprise, it only made him deepen his kiss. He drove his fingers into her hair, seeking her nape so he could hold her still and kiss her hard, wanting to brand her completely.
MJ knew she should have expected the kiss. She wasn’t dumb, and those words of his were a dead giveaway. But she had not expected the kiss because she had never dared hope he would want to kiss her. He was Helios Andreadis. He was not only out of her league, but most times, he had her convinced he hated her.
But maybe not, MJ thought dizzily as she felt Helios’ weight settle over her. His body was hard all over, and she had to clench her fists so she wouldn’t touch him.
“You taste sweet.” His growl tickled her skin as his lips moved down, licking his way to her neck.
She shuddered at the contact but she couldn’t help arching her neck at the same time, wanting more of his kiss. When he started to suck on her neck, MJ bit her lip to keep herself from crying out. It was so erotic, this kind of kiss. It was nothing like she had imagined, and just the thought of how much hotter, how much stronger and rawer it would feel when he kissed other parts of her body made MJ’s head whirl.
Helios’ lips were moving again, and when she felt his hands on the hem of her tank top, she gasped.
