" I’ll protect you, King had said. And sometime over Preppy’s pancakes, I’d resolved to stay. King said he wouldn’t force himself on me, so all I had to do was enjoy the free room and board and not give into King. You’re going to beg for it. Yeah, right. He could keep on believing that while I kept on eating pancakes. "

― T.M. Frazier , King (King, #1)
