Claiming Wright by J. D. Light

Warning: This one made me cry a little. It’s still sweet and fluffy, but there are some tears! Carry on.

Wright Kincaid
Losing my best friend in such an odd way was hard to accept. Having her brother around was the only thing that kept me sane… until the day he basically told me to hit the road. I don’t know how I made it through the next three and a half years, but seeing his not so ghostly ghost nearly everywhere I turned didn’t help, always reminding me of a love that was never even realized. Meeting Dustin again in Terra Mortis hurt, and it scared me to realize it would take very little effort on his part for me to forgive him completely and let him back into my life.

Dustin Walters
Before my sister died, I was trying to work myself up into finally being brave enough to ask Wright out. Over the months I’d gotten to know him, he’d become my closest friend, and I’d fallen hard for him. That didn’t change when my sister died in her sleep, but as my obsession with proving that she’d been killed, and finding her killer grew, I realized how much danger Wright would be in if he stuck around, so I ran him off. Nearly four years later, and I hated myself for that decision, and seeing him again in Terra Mortis––where I’d tracked the killer––reminded me how dead inside I’d become since I’d let him go. Now I want his friendship back, and possibly more… if I can only get him to forgive me. If I can only forgive myself.
