Restitution (The Edge of Darkness, #3)

by Leigh Rivers

When my mind is blank, it’s her voice I hear.

My girl. Even when faced with the worst kind of horror, she fucking fought. I didn’t think it was possible to love her more than I already do, but I do.

“She was everything to me. I think she still is,”

“I’ll fall to my knees and beg for forgiveness the next time I see her.”

“I won’t leave you,” I promise. “And don’t you dare leave me.”

Under the skin of the devil they created, buried in the fucking void of the darkness he’s trapped in, I will find a glimmer of his humanity. Why?

Because he’s mine.

“Moya vechnost

My eternity!!!!

“I want your heart, every single fucking fragment that I’ve broken over the years. I have your past and your present, and I want to be a selfish asshole and have your future.”

“The monster in me wants you to be terrified. I want you to run to the other side of the world again and stay there.” He pulls his thumb away, leaving me panting with need. “I want you to be scared of me.”

I’d burn the universe just to see her smile at me the way she is now.
