Kindle Notes & Highlights
My exterior is stunning. An almost ethereal creature with gem eyes and perfectly chiseled features. On the inside, I’m decaying and rotten. But no one sees that part, so it’s okay.
I’ve always been this empty husk, with the sole purpose of being used up and discarded by whomever needs to do so. And just like it was before my arrest and arrival in Alabaster Penitentiary, it’s my source of power.
I’ve always found the misfits of the world much more interesting.
“There are no heroes in this world, Lex. Just villains with a better disguise.”
“I’ll dream about you, baby… like fireworks over the ocean.”
We’re already in Hell. Whether it’s wrong or not, I will keep Lex Luthor Deon here so he can burn with me forever.
But just know, every moment I’m with you… is fireworks over the ocean.”
“It doesn’t matter if I’ve never felt it before. In my soul, I know what this is… I’m desperately in love with you, Lexington, and I never won’t be. Believe me, I’ve tried. Even if it tears us both to shreds… I’m so sorry, baby, but I can’t stop. As long as I’m breathing, I won’t ever stop feeling the way I feel about you. In crazy, fierce, burning fucking love.”
Even if it destroys me in the process, from such a sweet, beautiful scorching flame… I can’t help but crave his burn.
His hand reaches out, fingers gently tracing the recent tattoo I gave myself, right over my heart. “So you can see fireworks whenever you want,” I explained when I first showed it to him. He kissed me so hard, I can still feel it.
“You love me?” “I love you so hard, Lexington. You’re everything to me…” “I… I love… you too,” he stammers, and my movements slow. “I really fucking love you, Warren.”
my villain with the perfect hero’s disguise.
“You gave me fireworks.” He beams, and I chuckle, kissing him fast, but gently. “I told you I would…” “You did,” he hums while our mouths move together, lips cherishing in tender nips and sucks. “You kept your promise, perfect flame. I knew you would.”
“I’m yours, firestarter. Beginning to end.” His smile brushes mine. “I’ve always been yours too, baby. You know that.” “Promise?” I trace the ink over his heart. “Promise.” And he kisses me with possession. No word of a lie.
“The Ivory has a weakness,” he says softly, blue eyes widening. “If it comes down to it, baby…” I push his hair back gently with my fingers. “If they need us…” Ren blinks, then scoffs. “We’re not heroes, Luthor.” “Nope.” My lips curve. “Just villains with better disguises.” this is not THE END.
