Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Push your tits together. I wanna see ’em while you choke on my cock. ’Cause that’s what you wanted, right? To choke.”
“You’re not the Cortez I take orders from. Bark at me again, and I’ll be the one you need protecting from.”
“You can hate me, treat me like a dog, tell me to be a good boy, but where you go, I go. And when shit hits the fan, you’ll be glad I'm in here and not out there.”
“In order to protect you from the worst, I have to think like them, and you have to realize this isn’t a game.”
“Because when my hands are wrapped around your throat, I’m the one you’ll be praying to.”
“You didn’t get off knowing that you make me so fucking feral that I have to beat my fist just to be able to sleep?”
“Fuck, you’re too big,” she whimpers, and a dark part of me ignites. “But you’re gonna take it, aren’t you? You’re going take it and thank me for every fucking inch.” Her throat bobs, but she nods. “Yes.” “Because I won’t stop. Not if you cry. Not if you come. Not if you beg me to.”
“If you ever make me that hard again while torturing someone, I’m fucking you next to their corpse.”
“Call me baby one more time, and I’ll slit your throat.”
“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.”
“Don’t think for a second that you aren’t the one in complete control. That you don’t have total power over me.”
“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?” I lower my head to rake my teeth up her neck, then suck her ear lobe between them. “A 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.”
“But it’s true. I feel like a stray just hoping and praying you’ll decide to keep me.”
“I’m yours now, you understand?” he says between grunts and deep thrusts. “Yes, yes,” I cry as he hits a spot inside me that makes light burst behind my eyelids and my clit throb from the inside out. “Say it,” he bites out, jaw tight and sweat sliding down his temple. “You’re mine,” I gasp. “Mine.” “Fuck, I don’t want to be anything else,”
“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 tuck my gun away and pull her into me. “I’ll always be your monster, you only have to be my light.”
“You saved me, Reggie,” he breathes into my skin. I clutch his head to my chest, my heart overflowing with emotions that no words can do justice. I brush my lips over his hair. “Only because you saved me first.”
“Protecting you is the greatest honor of my life,”
