Shiver (For Puck's Sake, #1)

by Crea Reitan

This boy has no idea he likes to be praised. His response is immediate, and he doesn’t even know it.

“Will you hold me all night?” The vulnerability in his voice cracks something in my chest. Like he just slammed a sledgehammer into my sternum. I suck in a breath before putting my weight more fully on top of him, pressing him between me and the bed. “All night, Egon. I’m not going anywhere.” I’m in so much trouble.

My chest hurts. Breathing hurts. Everything hurts. I think I love him. But he doesn’t love me. And now I’m broken beyond repair.

Egon Wolf, I will make you my husband tomorrow if you’re not careful with where you’re going with this. I already told you, you’re mine. I will never let you go now. So, we can get married now, next week, next year—I don’t care. Makes no difference to me. You’re mine.

“Because you’re the sun that I’m orbiting around. I will love you until the stars stop burning. You aren’t just my world, Egon Wolf. You’re my entire universe.”

“If I’m the universe, you’re everything in it. You can’t have a universe without the stars and the moons and planets and asteroids.”
