His voice in my head. Lane’s voice too—quieter, steadier. “Addiction is often just an ache for something that feels like power.” What did Jason make me feel? Wanted. Needed. Destroyed. He gave me the illusion of power by taking all of it away. And now… I didn’t know if I missed him, or the part of me that didn’t know any better. I woke up the next morning to a message from an unknown number. “He won’t love you when he finds out what you are.”

He looked terrible—unshaven, exhausted, broken. "I can't do this," I said when he walked in. "I can't keep wondering if you're going to throw me away. If I'm just another woman you'll pay off when things get complicated." "You're not—" "Let me finish." I moved closer. "I can't keep wondering. But I also can't leave. I'm addicted to you in ways that aren't healthy. In ways that probably mean I need therapy just as much as Aiden did." "So what does that mean?"

"Bingo. I had attacked you system and got your attention. While you were busy I managed to get all the information I need but you had also layed a trap for us. You had uploaded a virus on our systems." "Yes I had first just wanted to see what you would do at first but the game had become a little boring so I just sent one of my viruses to stop you mid way." "But I still managed to out smart you in this little game of ours." "Well I appreciate someone smart and even better when he can outsmart me." "Nice I didn't think you could do all this in a matter of hours. You've really outsmarted me." "Before we are done were you the one who made the poison that killed those man didn't you."

The sight was ravishingly tempting, urging him to do something sinful to her. Luca was tempted to be buried deep inside her, but he refrained from doing so. He didn't want to get her mad. She passed out on him last night so he was sure she would be pissed when she'd wake up but then again. When it came to her, he just couldn't get enough of her no matter how much he tried to control himself. She was such an addiction that it scares the f*ck out of him sometimes and yet again he was tempted to devour her all the time.

Why do I let him do this to me? Am I actually doing this? Am I letting myself get carried into temptation like some idiot in a romance novel? My stomach twisted with guilt and excitement, the combination strangely addictive. I hated that he had this effect on me, the ease with which he could make me lose control. My thoughts bounced between denial and craving, rationality and want. I shouldn’t feel like this. I shouldn’t want this. But damn, I do.

He hesitated for a second longer, then mumbled, “I think… I think I might have a little p**n issue.” Sade’s head tilted. “A what?” “A p**n addiction,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “I can’t stop watching it. I’ve tried to quit cold turkey, but nothing works.” Sade blinked at him, her brain struggling to process the confession. “So, you’re telling me… all this sneaky ass behavior, the phone glued to your hand, the weird energy between us, it’s because of p**n?” Marco nodded slowly. “Yeah.”

eyes. I couldn't stop thinking about her flawless skin, there was not a single blemish on her body, she looked fucking unreal. And one thing I just couldn't get the fuck out of my mind was her taste. Now, that I know what she tastes like, I'm not sure how I will get rid of this fucking addiction. The most fucked up thing about addiction is when you realize that you are fucking addicted to something, whether it's alcohol or women, you say to yourself "This is my last drink."

I was constantly surprised by how they consumed me. I took a deep breath and stood. “I have to go. I’m sorry.” “Wait.” Mark stood and handed me a card from his pocket. “You ever feel the need for a coffee, call me.” You ever feel the need for a free therapy session over coffee, call me. I curled my fingers around the card and took it. “I will.” “And, Brenda?” He stepped closer to me and pressed two fingers to my temple. “Addiction is all in the mind. So is willpower. You don’t have to succumb to anything you don’t want to.”

Jeffrey Sullivan was a crack dealer who was also a screwed-up addict. The guy was pretty much still gorked when Will shared with him his own kind of addiction. He thought Will was referring to the kind of drugs he had allowed to slowly ruin his relationship with his family and his life. Even when Will was leisurely pulling out his teeth, he still couldn’t figure out that Will’s addiction was way different than his.

I crossed my legs beneath the table and leaned back in the booth. He caught his tongue between his teeth and studied me for a moment. “A couple of years ago. And before you ask, no, sex isn’t an outlet for some monumental fuck-up in my childhood. I like sex, I had a bit too much, and I got addicted. It works the same way as any addiction. You get one taste, you want more and more, then suddenly you can’t live without it.” His eyes were focused on mine as he said the last sentence. The very same sentence wrapped around me, tightening my chest and ricocheting off every corner of my mind.
