Friends With Benefits 3 - Friends with Benefits, #3

The jade skull has already rewritten one life. Now Phil wants to rewrite two.

When Phil and Annie first discovered the skull's power of possession and mind alteration, they used it together, two outcasts taking delicious revenge on Kylie, the gorgeous blonde cheerleader who had spent years making their lives miserable. The results exceeded every fantasy. The cruel, untouchable Kylie is now Annie's devoted girlfriend and Phil's most willing secret. Compliant. Eager. Endlessly moldable.

But possession and mind alteration has a way of making a person hungry for more.

Phil watches Annie and Kylie together and feels something shift inside him. Annie loves him like a friend. Trusts him completely. Has no idea that his ambitions have quietly expanded. What if the jade skull could give him everything? Both women at his beck and call, their desires reshaped around his own?

Kylie was easy. Bitchy but hollow where her confidence once lived, she bent like warm wax under possession and mind control. Annie is something else entirely. Strong-willed, sharp, and stubbornly herself, she resists in ways Kylie never did. Phil can slip into her mind but he cannot hold the controls. His suggestions dissolve. His commands fade. She surfaces every time, completely unaware of the invisible war being fought inside her own head.

Still, Phil is patient. And patient pressure leaves marks.

Little by little, Annie grows bolder. Posting more, hiding less, her boundaries softening in ways she attributes to Kylie's influence. She has no idea the real influence is Phil, watching from inside, savoring every moment of her intimate life while quietly tightening his grip.

Friends With Benefits 3 is the scorching continuation of the series that explores the darkest edges of possession and mind control, obsession, and the terrifying intimacy of knowing someone from the inside out.

Some friendships come with very dangerous benefits.
