Kindle Notes & Highlights
I want Billie. I must have her, or I will fucking lose my mind. I don’t accept defeat. Ever.
“I will shout to this entire diner that you are my girlfriend and I will never touch any other girl if you admit that you wanted me earlier. That you wanted me to sink my cock into your tight pussy and fuck the living soul out of you until you meet God and realize it was me all along.”
The truth never means anything. It’s just there, existing to remind us that we’re so terribly human and flawed.
“Good,” he murmurs as he takes a step closer. “Because it doesn’t change anything. You’ll be mine, Billie. If not now, then. If not here, in this shitty town that broke us…then there.”
There….
“Impossible doesn’t exist in my world. I get anything I want. And believe me, I want you.”
“It feels like I’m deeply hurt, and yet, no one hurt me. Like there’s no one to blame for your trauma, and you just keep going around in circles wondering how to heal yourself. I know my mom did her best. I know it’s a sickness. A black poison that infected her mind. Sometimes I want to hate her. Sometimes I wonder if I love her out of guilt for wanting to hate her.”
“Don’t be scared, okay? You won’t end up like my mom. You’ll fall in love with me, and you’ll want everything I have to give you.”
Everything will be easier for you once you accept that I want you, and I will do absolutely anything I have to do to keep you. I can give you a reason if you wish, but reason or not, you’re mine, and that’s a fact.”
My savage enemy. My beautiful fiend.
“Are you sure you want to push me away when I’m trying to help? Because there’s no option in your life where I’m not part of it. Accept that I’m trying to care for you or be forced into accepting it. No promises that I’ll be gentle for the second option.”
Because once someone has seen the worst of you, they can love you for everything you are. That’s the beauty of knowing someone inside out. You can’t hide anything, not even your monsters.
“Everyone falls down at some point. It’s all about how you get back up.”
“Be mine, Caden. Be my villain. Take my heart and keep it for yourself. Tell me you still love me, and we will fix this.”
“Remember, baby. The sun never stops shining above the clouds,” he whispers against my lips as we separate. “No matter what comes our way, I’ll never stop loving you.”
“You’re mine. How could you ever think I’d choose any path in life other than the one that leads right to you?”
