She doesn’t know she’s my first kiss as she sinks her teeth into my lower lip. But she makes me wish I could peel off my skin just so she could have been my first everything.
“I told you, Violet, I only have one weakness: you. They can carve me up all they like, and it won’t mean shit. You’re the only one who can actually hurt me.”
“You know Liam. Textbooks, sports bets, porn. Did you know he had a thing for pegging? Would explain a lot of shit.” “You’re getting off topic.” “You’re no fun.” Declan chuckles.
“Why is she here?” Declan asks. I can’t tell if it’s curiosity or if he cares because of Kole. But when his gaze meets mine, I get a hint of genuine concern. A soul that might actually exist within the darkness that is Declan Pierce.
Declan looks back at me, scanning me. For someone I’ve always thought incapable of caring about anything but himself, he looks enraged by the cuts on my ribs.
“It bothers me how you got them.” He pulls my back to his chest. “But seeing any part of you could never bother me. You’re perfect. Imperfections and all.”
