Storm (Dark and Dirty Sinners' MC, #8)

by Serena Akeroyd

The shit I’ve done… The things I’ve seen… The people I’ve hurt… My hands are dirty. My soul is black. My heart is a shriveled mass in my chest. You’re so clean, Keira. So fucking clean, and I’m so dirty. So unworthy. You’re the kind of woman a man should worship. That he should get on his hands and fucking knees to serve. In my world, men don’t do that. But you deserve it. You deserve everything, and everything isn’t something I’m able to offer. For you, I’d try, but I don’t think you’ll ever notice me. Maybe that’s for the best. Storm

I wanted to raze that sorrow into dust. I wanted to burn it to the ground and replace it with joy and happiness.

I need to leave you alone because I stain everything that comes near me. I’m poison, Keira. I’m living death. I don’t want that for you. But I’ll still be there in the morning, watching you walk into school, making sure you’re safe.

"I loved you as you became Cyan’s mom—a woman who made sure the house was clean, who watched over our daughter, who protected her, cherished her. But I fell for the woman who smiled at a dirty biker like he wasn’t scum."

This wasn’t our last goodbye, but the start of something else. Something just as beautiful as the last fifty-three years. Eternity wasn’t frightening when you had your soul mate at your side.
