Kindle Notes & Highlights
But I want to see this through to the break. No matter how dangerous, or scary, or downright stupid, I can’t help how starved I am for his rainbow when the clouds part. Even if it destroys me in the process, from such a sweet, beautiful scorching flame… I can’t help but crave his burn.
“I want to chop their hands off so they can’t touch you, pluck their eyes out so they can’t look at you… Rip their goddamn tongues out so they can never speak another word to you again.”
“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.”
“I was saving it for our anniversary,” he sneers. “But apparently, we’ll never have one of those because you won’t even call me your damn boyfriend.”
I’m telling you, this dude is the cuddliest, most precious sociopathic murderer ever. You just want to pinch his cheeks. Maybe from afar… in case he decides to bite your fingers off.
“Are you sure you’re a serial killer?” I arch a brow. “Oh, yea. Big time.” He pulls a charming grin, glancing at Trevel once more. “The best way to get people to drop their guard is to act like you’re dropping yours.”
For all those times I wanted to kiss him, but didn’t… For all the time I spent thinking about him, wishing I could get him out of my head, but knowing I never would… Maybe it’s bittersweet that we’re finally here, boyfriends in love, with our future so vague. But such is the curse of falling in love in prison. So right now, in this padded cell, with uncertainty just outside, I’ll let his chaos settle me. Like fireworks over the ocean.
“Every wet dream, every filthy fantasy… Every urge you’ve had that made this big dick weep. I wanna know so I can arch your back and curl your fucking toes, beautiful. It’s my official job… as your boyfriend.”
Our hearts beat together at the same pace. We’re finally synchronized, on the exact same wavelength.
We’re finally in a relationship, despite how unhealthy it might be at times. So of course, this is the moment when I’m going to be killed. Ren changed for me. Overcame his emotional hurdles enough to be the boyfriend I always secretly dreamed he could be, for me.
“Here’s to chaotic beginnings… And the beauty of what comes next.”
My entire body feels like it’s full of gravel, and every time I close my eyes, I see spores of black mold festering inside me like a disease.
“I’m telling you, I don’t care. It doesn’t matter, because it’s in the past now. We did what we had to do to find each other. That’s what matters, baby. It’s the only thing that matters… Us. Together again, for good.”
Heads resting on the fluffy pillow, we just stare at one another; sky-high blue meets stormy sea green. I place my palm over his heart, the rapping calmer than it’s ever felt in all the times I’ve touched him here.
“He’s my villain with the face of a hero,”
“And I want to be his… till death do us part.”
“Warren Xavier…” he mumbles, voice shaking. I’m gonna fall… “Will you marry me?” Holy, oh my God… What in the name of… “Yes.” I shove the words out as fast as possible. My head starts bobbing up and down, pressure building behind my eyes. “Yes… fuck yes. I mean, come on…” He snorts, biting the inside of his cheek while I whimper and drop onto the floor before him. “Fuck, Lexington… Yes, I will marry you.”
Mental illness isn’t your fault, but it is your responsibility.”
But if anyone could understand people like us, it’s these guys. We’re all fucked up in one way or another… The losers, the misfits, the weirdos. Why not wear our scars on the outside, for the world to see? After all, it’s our pain that makes us what we are… Invincible.
Lex and I shake our heads, chuckling while we sip and bask in the freedom of love, beyond the walls. “They’re kinda crazy, huh?” I whisper, as he pulls me close and kisses my neck. “My beautiful, forever flame… all the best things are.”
“We’re not heroes, Luthor.” “Nope.” My lips curve. “Just villains with better disguises.”
