Caught Up (Into Darkness Trilogy)

by Navessa Allen

Just once, I wished someone else would make a goddamn decision so I didn’t have to think so fucking much all the time.

I’d spent nearly a decade keeping my distance from Lauren, and god help anyone who tried to get between us this time.

Taking a deep breath, I turned her back around to face the wall, whispering into her ear, “Only for you, Lo.” And then I dropped to my knees.

God bless women who weren’t afraid to tell you what they wanted.

“Dangerous words. I’m not that shy girl anymore.”

“I’m considering joining the priesthood.” She grinned. “Does that mean I’ll get to call you Daddy?”

I’d said it before, and I’d say it again: Cat people were fucking weird.

“Please stop interfering in my life,” I said. His one-word response was clipped. “No.”

“That’s me, a real gentleman. Grab her hand in the streets and her hair in the sheets.”
