That was the most disturbing profession of love I’d ever heard, but it was beautiful coming from Judas.
“I’ll love you Judas, because you’re way too fucked up for anyone else to dare try to.”
He laughed under his breath, continuing to stroke my spine. There were a lot of things to work through here, and one summer night together would never give us time to do that.
Maybe not even one hundred.
I’d be here for many summers to come, continuing to fall way too fast for a boy who turned out to be an addictive confection of every bad thing you could think of—and utterly perfect for me.
I laid my head back on his chest and closed my eyes, comforted by the sound of his twisted heart.
Epilogue
RHIANNON
If someone told me a few weeks ago, that I’d have a (massively) screwed-up whirlwind romance with Judas freaking Barron, I’d have laughed in their face and asked what drugs they’d been using.
Today, I was riding shotgun with the boy who promised to bully me and shatter my world apart.
He’d successfully done both.
And for the next two weeks he would be picking those shards up and piecing it back together in his world.
His words. Not mine.
I wasn’t ready to face my mom and dad, but they had to of already known I knew some of the truth because they were the ones who told me to take my time before coming to find them.
All that ass kissing made sense now. All those times they found a reason to be out of the house. They weren’t ready to face me with their truth either.
How much time did someone need to confront their parents about something like this? When would the swirl of emotions in my chest not make me want to tell them how much I hated them and that they disgusted me? Because regardless of where I came from or the circumstance, they did raise me, and I knew they loved me. They just weren’t who I’d built them up to me and that hurt more than anything.
At the same time, the beautifully dark boy beside me was offering something that gave me the ability to be as morally free as I wanted. And why shouldn’t I of accepted his offer? I was young, I was going to take the risk. The first of the day was the courthouse that gave me a name I could truly claim as my own.
Was it impulsive and reckless to marry right now? Probably.
Didn’t stop us though.
The carpool of four people behind us had been there to cheer us on, nonetheless.
We had our whole damn lives ahead of us to fuck up one hundred times over.
All I wanted right then was the freedom to love my wicked blueblood and fully immerse myself in his lawless world of sin.
