Her mistake. And the reason she still wakes up with a knife under her pillow. He wants her back. Cassian wants to own her. And Lexa? She just wants to survive the obsession of two powerful men who don't understand the word no. Love? That’s not what this is. This is possession. This is blackmail. This is Drive Me Dirty – and once you’re in, you don’t get out.
