“Hey.” Aiden brings my fingers to his mouth and kisses them one by one. I slowly peel my lids open. How can he kiss the same fingers that I just hurt him with? No. He’s not only kissing them. He slides his lips over each fingertip as if he’s worshipping them. “What are you doing?” I murmur through hiccoughs. He offers an easy-going grin and speaks against my fingers. “Getting you back.” “Getting me back from where?” “From whoever was trying to take you away from me just now.”

“My lips steal any words we had left. It’s not feverish or rushed; it’s a tender kiss, one that says I want to memorize every groove of your mouth, I want to protect these fragile pieces of you that are too sharp for others to carry, but I have gloves now, and you can’t cut me. Even if they sliced my palms, it would be okay.”

“What if you lose interest in me, too?”
“Never.” He flattens his thumb on my lower lip. “I’ve been addicted to you since I touched you. I can’t stay away from you even if I wanted to, sweetheart. So don’t ask me to. Don’t even suggest it.”

“Tiny, bloody hearts. They connect and leak down my chest, drying in messy strokes. She’s covering me in them. Marking my skin with the proof of her obsession. And I let her because I’m tipsy. Blood drunk on a girl intent on loving me until it kills her. Until the grave. That’s what we are, have always been. The kind of connection that began in death and would last far beyond it. Such a very grim, morbid declaration of love. So very Lyra.”

“Knowing all these hands have done, what they will continue to do—” He squeezes me as if to remind me. “—you aren’t afraid of them?”
I should be. It would be normal to be afraid.
“I can’t change for you, Lyra. This thing between us won’t change who I am.”
I can feel his heartbeat beneath my hands. I can feel that he is just as much human as he’s a killer. And humans, even this one who was designed for havoc, deserves love.
“No matter the cruelty your hands are capable of, they will always be the one place I feel safe. How could I fear fingers that were made to touch me?”
