The Ritual (L.O.R.D.S., #1)

by Shantel Tessier

Doesn’t matter what we’ve done, this feels more intimate than any of it.

It was more of a I’ll make you love me rather than I love you, but I’ll take it.

I’d set the world on fire, including myself, if it meant saving her.

If this is what it feels like to drown, I don’t want to be above water.
