Defy (Sinners of Saint, #0.5)

I rolled my eyes but couldn’t help but smile. “I think I like you,” I muttered, pressing my face to his muscled torso in a hug. I felt his heartbeat under my ear. “I think I like you back.”

I’m a no one.” “Not true. You’re my someone.” He brushed his knuckles against my temple.

“Is it true that you’ll always be mine?” He lowers his mouth to my ear, his warm breath tickling my skin. “It’s a truth. And sometimes, when you piss me off, it’s a dare. But it’s my life, and you’re a part of it. Always and forever,” I say. “Always and forever,” he repeats, and I hold on to my anchor, squeezing it—and my real-life anchor—hard.
