In the flash of an eye, Roan has his gun out and shoots him in the dick.
that its hit them where it hurts
bitch your dont call her a whore u get died
“I shot him in the dick because he called you a whore—”
“I killed him because I’m the only one who gets to call you that.”
“If you ever make me that hard again while torturing someone, I’m fucking you next to their corpse.”
these two are definity my favourite
“Your man is fucking ravenous, and it’s not for what you’re serving. Your man would be on his knees for me in seconds, but when he’s with you, I bet you’re the only one on your knees.”
“So, no, Cortez, I don’t want to touch you—I want to fuck you, own you, ruin you.”
“My father often confused me with his ashtray when he got drunk.”
“We always want to believe the best in family.”
“You said the option is usually fuck or fight, yeah?” He keeps his tone calm and even. “Let me fight. Your people want a show? I’ll give them a damn bloody one.”
“I told you I’d be waiting when you win. Don’t make
“Nobody is going to care about your pleasure like I do, little menace. Nobody.”
“Don’t think for a second that you aren’t the one in complete control. That you don’t have total power over me.”
“When do you feel safest?” “Never. But being able to keep you safe makes it all worth it. The paranoia, constantly being on edge, never letting my guard down. I might never feel safe because of all the ways I’m fucked in the head, but I can sleep at night knowing you are.”
“A little kissing got you all flustered, huh, Fox?”
little kissing? No. But kissing you?” My body feels light, my head feels high, and my heart… “I feel like I could float away. I’m fucking untethered.”
Maybe it’s our unique brand of madness.
“Morning,” he says, carrying them to the table, and I change my mind. I’m certain waking up to a shirtless Roan in my kitchen serving me a mouthwatering plate of bacon and eggs is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.
His ability to be practically unnoticeable without hiding is part of why he’s the deadliest assassin in the Americas.
That’s just funny
Cold water splashes on top of me, and I’m jolted awake. My head throbs, an intense pounding at the base of my neck, and I try to blink the water out of my eyes while sputtering.
This is y we shoot people
I’ve been broken ever since I opened that door twenty-three years ago. Reggie, though, showed me that healing was possible. Now, I’ve broken beyond repair. Whatever remains of my heart is fractured into too many pieces to ever be whole again.
“Wake up, please, I need you. If you wake up for me I swear I’ll fucking marry you. I’ll take you skydiving. I’ll love you with every breath I breathe, every second of my life. Please, just come back to me—”
“I’m fucking marrying you, Cortez.” Her eyes struggle to stay open, but her mouth twitches in something resembling a smile. “Do I have any say in this?” “Absolutely not.”
“I’ll always be your monster, you only have to be my light.”
He’s broken but beautiful, shattered but whole. And when the nightmares come that remind him of what he’s lost, it’s my job to remind him of everything he still has.
“Only because you saved me first.”
“Protecting you is the greatest honor of my life,” he says, leaning down so our lips almost touch. Emotions choke my words. There’s so much I want to say, but only one thing matters. “Loving you is the greatest honor of mine.”
