Unhinged (Necessary Evils, #1)

by Onley James

“I hate to keep harping on this one point because it's starting to feel a little mean to keep bringing it up, but we don’t know each other.” “You know me,” Adam insisted. “But you don’t know me,” Noah countered, voice a harsh whisper. “I don’t need to know everything about you to know that you’re what I want.” “That makes no sense.” “It will eventually,” Adam promised. “But if this is too much for you…if I’m too much for you, I get it. I’m…a lot.” “Why would you want to be in a relationship if you can’t love somebody?” Once more, Adam pondered the question. “What does that word even mean? Lots of people throw the word love around without actually treating the people they supposedly love like they are loved. I don’t have the same signals firing in my brain that you do. I have to rely on instinct. My instincts tell me you’re the one. What do yours tell you?” That you’re going to rip my heart out some day, maybe literally. “My instincts have really never done anything for me. If you give me two choices, I make the wrong one every time.” Adam leaned in. “Instinctively, what do you think you should do?” “Run fast and far away from you,” Noah said without thought. Adam grinned like he’d just somehow put Noah in check mate. “Then, by your own logic, you should do the opposite. And stay. With me.” “This is crazy.” “All the best things are.”
