Restitution (The Edge of Darkness, #3)

by Leigh Rivers

We aren’t together – haven’t been for a while – but Stacey is my girl. Mine.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. You’re okay. You’re safe with me,” he says softly as he strokes my hair, letting me cry into his chest. “I found you, little one.”

“You are also my priority. I would have always hunted for you to the ends of the fucking earth, little one.

Stacey Rhodes. My girl. My anchor that sank to the bottom of the ocean without me.

“Don’t be afraid of me, Freckles,” he calls, spitting out blood that’s leaked into his mouth. “This is for us.”

Because he’s mine.

“I tried so hard to keep my distance, Stacey, but I can’t do it anymore.”

“We’ll be dead together. You die, I die, remember?”

“Forever, Freckles.”
