Insatiable (The Edge of Darkness, #1)

by Leigh Rivers

Rule one: Stay away from your toxic ex-girlfriend. Rule two: Don’t unblock her number. Rule three: If you’re both in the same room, don’t fucking look at her – it’s a trap. Rule four: Under no circumstances will you have any sexual interactions with her. Rule five: Never forgive Stacey Rhodes.

“We’re all broken in some way, Tobias. But we can also be fixed.”

Stacey has always been the girl out of reach for me. The girl I wanted but could never have. My sister’s best friend who hated me with every fibre of her being. I was the deranged kid. The mentally fucked-up kid. A boy who struggled with basic emotions. But whenever I’m around her, I want to learn everything there is to feel. I want to be good enough for her. I want to be able to feel this way and not worry about it turning into something dark and sinister,

“Because you’re hiding, and I want to hide with you.” I caress her cheek and press my lips to her forehead, catching her off guard. “Let’s hide together, Freckles.”
