“Yes, I’m still by his side. Yeah, I’m Bonnie. He’s Clyde. I’m holding it down on the outside. Hand in hand, that’s how we ride.” —Bonnie Parker
The city is broken, and lonely, just like the rest of us.
“If you wanted a normal son, you shouldn’t have fucked me up so bad.”
I physically don’t possess the piece of my chemical makeup that allows me to give a fuck what people think—especially my parents. And that’s actually not the only part I’m missing.
Doing my best to get by while still trying my hardest to smile. It’s the one thing they can’t take from me. The last remaining piece of Lexington Deon.
it is fully possible to become genuinely close to people you’ve never actually met IRL.
Online relationships are every bit as real as in-person ones, and I don’t care what anyone says.
I could use some good dick to take my mind off the vacancy sign flashing in my chest.
I’ve never had a boyfriend. I can’t tell if it’s because I’ve never wanted one, or because I’m too much of a self-destructive mess to deserve one. Probably both.
My exterior is stunning. An almost ethereal creature with gem eyes and perfectly chiseled features.
I’ve always found the misfits of the world much more interesting.
I flinch and turn, meeting light blue eyes.

Fuck you, you evil, beautiful, slutty little liar.
His eyes spring open, glistening vibrant blue staring up at me.
sparkling light green in his irises.
kid with the sea-green eyes.
I need the aggression and inherent thoughtlessness that only men can provide.
“He’s mine. He just doesn’t know it yet.”
I can make it better, baby…
I promise, I can soothe the ache I cause, if you just give me the chance.
I fucking love the way it feels to make you mine.
“The thing about evil,” she whispers, “is that it masquerades as good. True evil doesn’t look like a monster with horns and a forked tongue. It’s beautiful, charming, and powerful… An exceptional liar, and a master at manipulating its camouflage.”
“There are no heroes in this world, Lex. Just villains with a better disguise.”
The way I see it, if you’re going to be a villain, you might as well be the smartest one.

This guy is by far the most unusual person I’ve ever encountered.
Leaning in quick, I press a soft kiss on his mouth. One second, and it’s already the best thing I’ve ever felt in my life.
I just want to touch him, and smell him, feel his warmth coiling around me.
“Just use me to get off, baby,” he whispers. “Use me to see what you like.”
“Baby, anything you do with me will make me come.”
“Whatever you wanna do, baby,” he moans. “I’ll give you anything, you know that.”
“You’re a dream come true, baby,” he whispers. “All I want is this…” His lashes flutter, head tips back. “Just you… Baby, oh fuck, Lex…”
“God, you are so hot.”
“Don’t take this away from me…” Ren sighs, curling his big arms around my waist and pulling me into him. “Not yet. Just let me savor it, okay?”
And I’ve had enough sex that if orgasms were electricity, I could power all of New York City Proper for years.
I need to be Lexington Deon’s first, more than I need to breathe.
Ugh. He’s so fucking cute, I can’t stand it. I just wanna kiss his cheeks and squeeze his butt.
“You’re gushing all over my hand, baby,” he croaks.
He called me baby… Lexington just called me baby… I’ve never swooned so hard in my life.
“You’re so hot. Hot fucking body, hot little hole… God, you’re burning me alive. Nothing feels as good as you do…”
Only I make him come this way.
The same affection, but turned up a hundred degrees. It’s friendship boiling over.
Me and you. We’re the only thing in this place that’s ever been good.”
“Because I fucking love you!” he shouts in my face, and I falter. “I’ve loved you since the second I saw you, and I don’t understand it! I don’t want to feel this shit… This twisted up ball of need in my chest like fucking disease. I don’t even know if it really is love, that’s how fucked up I am. I never knew what this felt like… until you.”
“Because I want to do everything in my power to make you happy… even when you hate me and refuse to look at me. I want to be next to you all the time… Just breathing the same air as you. I want to hold your hand and kiss your neck, and I want you to want me to… more than I’ve ever wanted anything. I feel like I could slaughter anyone who causes you pain, including myself. It’s so unbearably fucked up, but I would open a vein and bleed just to make you smile… That has to mean I’m in love with you… Right?”
“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.
As long as I’m breathing, I won’t ever stop feeling the way I feel about you. In crazy, fierce, burning fucking love.”
“You are… a revelation.”
I always knew it would feel like this with you.” “Like what?” I kiss his jawline. “Fireworks,” he sighs, and I grin.
