Phantasma (Wicked Games, #1)

by Kaylie Smith

“So again. Who did that to you?”

“I can stay until you fall asleep,”

“Nothing is going to hurt you while I’m here, Ophelia. Rest.”

But it’s you I am drawn to, Ophelia.

“Ophelia I… I am so fucking in love with you. I think I fell in love with you when you asked me how you could help me that first time we met. Prince of the Devils, and you wanted to save me. Maybe, somehow, I knew then that you could be the one to set me free. And I meant what I said that night, that you should hope we never met again, and I fucking hate that this is what it’s coming down to. But… every single second I’ve spent with you has reminded me what it’s like to be alive. And I would trade every other soul in the world if it meant I would get to keep you forever.”
