Quotes by Lylah James (?)

“Hi," I said, my eyes darting to my out-stretched hand and back to his dark gaze. "I'm Julianna. Nice to meet you."
Killian's brows rose up in suprise, "Did I just fuck you into insanity?"
"Your assholeness has no limits."
"Your audacity has no limits," he shot back, before reaching out. To my utter delight, he grasped my hand in his.
"Killian."
"Killian," I breathed, his name rolling on my tongue.
His hands squeezed mine. "What are you doing, Julianna?"
"Re-writing our story.”

“You’ve dug yourself under my skin, into my bones. You fucking stabbed me in the chest, I’m bleeding for you, Princess. You kill me and I still fucking need you like I need my next breath. I need you as much as I want to destroy you. How is that possible?” “My love is toxic,” I said, my voice groggy and thick with emotion. “It’s fucking poison,” he agreed.”
