Bite Marks & Broken Hearts (The Killigrew Street Case Files, #1)

by T.J. Rose

“You know, I used to think the ocean at sunset was the most beautiful sight in the world.” My thumb traced his jawline. “Turns out I just hadn’t met you yet.”

I shattered into stardust, euphoria splitting me wide open. Every colour in existence exploded behind my eyes as I spiralled through the darkness, coming undone below him.

“You taste of summer storms.” Thrust. “Of starlight and salvation.” Thrust. “Like everything I didn’t know I was searching for.” Thrust. “Like mine.”

The sliver of moonlight painted us in silver, and with his arms around me, I felt truly anchored. Not to a place, but to him. To us. His hands cradled my face like I was something precious, and in that moment, with the taste of salt on our lips and the promise of forever stretched out before us, I knew I’d never need another home but this.
