A Twisted Arrangement (Twisted Vows, #2)

by Jessa Wilder

“The only reason you’re not on a missing poster is because you were doing it for her. Any other reason and I’d have spent my time cutting you into little pieces.”

“Don’t you dare die.” I squeeze her fingers. “Only because you asked.”

“You don’t need to do everything on your own. You are not alone. You’ve never been alone because even if you didn’t know it, you have always had me. I have belonged to you for so long I can’t remember what it feels like to belong to myself. Loving you has been the reason I wake up in the morning. There is nothing about you I would change. Not your past. Not your dreams. Not your family. Nothing. You are and you have always been it for me. I was a stupid fifteen-year-old kid, but even then, I would give you anything you wanted. I would wait for however long you needed me too. I was happy to sit by and watch you because it’s what you needed. But now you…”

“Now you both need me. There’s no end to how much I care about you. There’s no bottom to the well of my love. I want to be here for you. You don’t have to do any of this alone. So pull everything you need from me. I won’t break.”

“Six months! You mean I only have six months to babyproof my entire place?” Damon raises a brow. “Is there a reason you think my baby will be at your place?” Bash snorts. “Because I’m going to be the best uncle ever.” “I’ll get my place ready too,” Xander chimes in.

“Thank you.” I lean into her touch and ask, “For what?” “For waiting.”
