Until You (Off-Limits, #1)

by Catharina Maura

I sit back in my seat and cross my arms. “I don’t think you do,” I tell her. “Because that question was really just a formality. You are mine, Aria. I’m fine with taking a bit more time to convince you, but that won’t change the facts. I’m fucking crazy about you, and I have been for months. Hell… I’m pretty sure I love you.”

“I’m yours, Aria. I think I may well have been yours from the second you first smiled at me. When you welcomed me into your home and showed me what family looks like, what it feels like. Over the years you’ve stolen more of my heart, until eventually, I had none of it left because it was entirely in your hands.” I entwine our fingers and look away. “Do with it what you will,” I tell her. “It is yours to keep.”

Aria and I… we’ve been years in the making. We just didn’t know it.

he destroyed me by making me believe in love when I should have known better. “Goodbye, Grayson,” I whisper, before turning and leaving behind the best thing that ever happened to me. But here’s the thing about that… just because he’s the love of my life doesn’t mean I’m his.

“I see the way you treat my sister, Grayson. I see how you look at her. You think you don’t deserve her, but you do. You two are perfectly suited for each other, and I’m happy you found each other. The two of you were always meant to be. I could see it long before you did.”

For so long I thought Gray, Noah and I would never escape the sorrows of our past, but I know better now. Our future is what we make of it, and I can’t wait for Noah to discover that too.
