Lights Out (Into Darkness, #1)

by Navessa Allen

My entire life was devoted to caring for others. I wanted someone to take care of me for once. I wanted someone to want me. No, need me. I wanted a man so obsessed that he hacked into cameras to watch me when he couldn't sleep. I wanted him to monitor my location data, order me a home security system so no one else could break into my house, and threaten to murder anyone who hurt me. I didn’t want him morally grey. I wanted someone with a soul as black as night. Someone who would burn the world down for me and not lose a single minute of sleep over it.

“Woah, buddy,” she said, leaning away as I turned back around with it. “Is that a bomb or something?” I almost forgot myself and swore.

She deserved someone at the top of their game.

Boo, motherfuckers.

Awww. Our first official fight.
