I…. I feel like I’m insane.
KALEB? KALEB????? Of all the people to end up with….What about this story makes THAT the logical option?
ALSO I was getting whiplashed, thinking I was getting a sex story like Den of Vipers. This is definitely taboo.
But I will say….truck scene? I’ll remember that for awhile.

Had two prologues before the story even started, so much world building I couldn’t even absorb it all.
