Until Him (Inevitable, #1)

by Cora Rose

Fuck, he’s unnerving. Why does he keep staring at me? I don’t think he’s checking me out, either. I think he’s probably measuring my skin for lampshades.

“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”

He glances over at me and winks, and my boxers catch fire. They blaze and turn to ash. Shit.

“Don’t you say it. This is me being a friend, Theo. Your friend. It’s a thing people do.” Fuck. I don’t want to be his friend. I want to be his everything.

“Okay. Boyfriends then.” “Boyfriends.” Curie meows loudly from the backseat. “Think she approves?” I glance back and she just blinks at me. “Yeah, I think she does.”

Who knew he’d be the one to help me heal? Who knew he’d be the perfect person for me? Not me. It was never me, until him.
