Filthy
Drea Rhodes
From indie contemporary romance author Drea Rhodes, dive deeper into the taboo and morally gray with this twisty and sometimes unhinged tale of a girl and the habit she can't kick.
I am not wired right.
Perhaps by birth.
Perhaps by circumstance.
Either way, my brain doesn't feed off praise or any other normal duel. I feed off defiance. I crave a little itch in my skin. A thunder of the darkness to come.
Whatever the reason, I need adrenaline to keep my fire burning. I need a habit that might kill me before the thrill is over.
The most dangerous of all caught me with a cig between my teeth, lungs suffocating, and the thinnest of boundaries keeping me sane.
He wants me to be right. To be like the other girls. He thinks I can be fixed. A little buff and shine, and she'll sparkle.
Only I was born from filth.
I thrive in it.
Seep into the very marrow of it
He wants us to be clean
But deep down, we're both filthy.
