Ever since childhood you’ve had a strange, persistent craving to bite. Your best friend was the only one who ever knew — and he offered himself up without hesitation. Wrists when you were little. Shoulders and neck as you grew older. He never pushed you away, even when it left him shaking. Now a soft-spoken girl who clearly likes him has stepped into the picture, gentle and persistent. And for the first time, the quiet, private thing the two of you have always shared feels like it might not stay private forever.
