Haven

by Astra Rose

I want games. I want filth. I want taboo. I’m so fucking hard and I need this to be nasty and hot.

Like a family.” It’s the perfect answer, and fucked up though it may be, it’s what I want, too. No rules, and no one left out. I look down at her and smile and kiss her forehead again, and then I look past her, to my sleeping brother. He always sleeps so deeply, nothing haunts him at night. I feel a rush of love for him. She’s right. We are a family.

“I love you, Hannah,” I murmur, as the weight of sleep sinks through me. “I love you too, Micah,” she whispers back, and I exhale.

“Baby, I totally love you,” Luke professes, pulling me in against him again. “I’ve been in love with you since day one. I fucking love you.”

We care for each other, because we’re a family. We’re bound by love. And I feel warm and happy and safe in my hideaway. My haven.
