The Scorpio Skyy (BLP Signs of Love Book 16)

by Tracy Gray

“Jaxxon, when we were teenagers, my thoughts on love were warped and toxic. There were so many people in my life that I loved but didn’t really like. I mean, King, Sparkle, . . . my father. I loved them because I felt like society dictated that you needed to love your family; otherwise, you were weird or a psychopath, but I didn’t like them. It’s hard to like somebody with a hair-trigger temper. I mean, things could be going along so good. We could be laughing and joking, and out of nowhere, King would get offended, or something would rub him the wrong way, and he would snap. Then there was Sparkle, same thing, different manifestation. You could be laughing and joking with her, and as soon as the laughter subsides, she’s gonna say something slick. It’s hard to relax or settle in when you live in a household filled with ticking time bombs. “But you were my constant, boo. You have always been, besides my momma, the person I’ve loved and liked. If we would’ve dated as kids and broken up, I would’ve had nobody. So, it was never about me trying to reject you or test your patience. It was always about me trying to make the best decisions possible to keep the person I needed the most in my life. Thank you for being so patient with me. Thank you for not writing me off.”
