Forever Always

I'd do anything to protect Riley. Anything.

For as long as I could remember it’s been Riley and me against the world. From the second my dad introduced me to him and his mom as my new family, I knew I’d do anything for my baby step-brother.

For a while everything was perfect. We were the happy little family I always imagined.

And then that all changed.

Protecting Riley became more important than ever. I was the only thing between him and the wrath of Dad. I was the only person keeping a roof over his head and food in his belly.

Me.

I was the most important person in the world to him. And he was mine.

Nothing would ever change that.

We’re grown now, but still, I’d do anything for Riley. I’d gladly get my hands dirty to keep his clean. There wasn’t a line I wouldn’t cross for him. Even lines so forbidden I had no idea how he’d react if he ever found out. But it didn’t matter because it was Riley and me against everyone.

Forever.

Always.
