(Excerpt taken from chapter 8)

'Don't catch feelings, Peter. You can't. You chose this. Normal life, remember? I wanted to meet a nice girl, settle down in a big house with a white picket fence-

I wanted to trace those full lips with mine as I mapped out every inch of his soft skin with my hands and worshipped every freckle on his body as he breathed out my name like a prayer-

Fuck.'
