Addicted After All (Addicted, #5)

by Krista Ritchie

The parts of me that I love the most are the parts that belong to her.

I don’t want to lose this kid that I never even wanted. He’s a piece of me and Lily, and most people would consider that a tainted, damaged thing. But the more I think about it—and the longer she carries our child—I recognize all of the good parts of us.

Ryke would endure hell for eternity if it meant that I could go to heaven. Once upon a time, I think I would’ve let him. Not anymore. He deserves his paradise. So I’ll fight against my brother. I’ll fight against Lily and Daisy for this position. The winner is the loser. And this cage has my name on it.

There’s something about Lily that makes all the terrible parts of me seem irrelevant. That makes a bad day momentary and a good one infinite. It’s love like this that’s worth living for.

Rose opens her eyes as she answers, “You said that I was your greatest competition.” “And now,” he whispers, “you’re my greatest ally.” With one hand on her knee, he says, “I need you to push.”
