Burned & Bound (Love Doesn’t Cure All)

by A. Winchester

The truth was I had loved West back when we were kids—even before our first kiss—and I never got over him. I never stopped loving him.

“You tell me to stop if you need me to, you understand?” I replied. When he opened his mouth to protest, I shook my head. “I mean it. Don’t push yourself if you don’t want it, West—even if that changes somewhere in the middle. I don’t care. You’re more important than anything we do together.”

“I care about you, West. Your comfort. Your safety. Your happiness.” “Jackson…” “You’re my priority, baby, above anything else.”
