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.

Never had another dude’s come in my belly button before. It’s like a tiny swimming pool. I should set up a small diving board or some shit.

I’d have to go to the ER, and Finn would never let me live it down. I’d end up on one of those reality TV shows where doctors laugh at you and call you an idiot. I opted, instead, to order a dildo with a nice thick base to keep myself out of the hospital. It comes next week. I plan on using it often.

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

Damn, blow jobs are hard work. I realize I now owe several women nice thank-you cards, and maybe even apologies, because I was never as gentle as Theo was when I went at it.

“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.

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.
