Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s not only because of his lethally attractive looks, because honestly? He could be the most beautiful man God has created. Okay, in the top five.
I got so excited that I didn’t notice I was that invested in the stupid game. I wipe them with the back of my hand, because if anyone accuses me of crying, I’ll throat-stab them.
One moment, I’m walking, and the next, Sebastian turns around, grabs me by the waist, and tugs me against him. “The reason is her,” he says, and then his lips meet mine.
“You are a funny one.” “No, I’m kinda bitchy. Ask your besties, Reina and Brianna, and they’ll tell you the deets.” “I’d rather ask you. Dinner tomorrow?” “In the funeral home before they cremate you?”
“Now I know what you truly are,” he says. “And what is that?” “Tsundere.” “What?” “It means someone who’s hot and cold. Violent on the outside, despite being soft on the inside.”
Because right now? He’s not even attempting to hide his true self behind it. He let it loose, allowing me to see what type of deviant he actually is. One who gets off on chasing. On catching me. On making me helpless and at his mercy.
A weird sense of possessiveness grips me by the fucking ball. She’s like this for me. Only me.
“My dick misses your lips. I think it was love at first sight.” “Shut up.”
“Your body is made for fucking, baby.” “It’s also made for kicking you in the crotch.”
“What are you saying?” “I’m saying we’re similar, Nao, you and I. And I’ll make you embrace it even if it’s the last thing I do.”
“Please…” I beg. “Stop.” Don’t stop. Please. Let me be alive.
He’s different, but he’s unapologetic about it. He’s different, but he’s not fake. Not like me.
“I want to meet your uncle. Besides, you’re being rude,” she murmurs back. “He’s the one being rude by barging in here,” I say aloud. “I heard that, Rascal.” “Good. Leave, then.” “No.” “Grandma said she wants to see you.” “Hearsay.” “I’ll send her a picture that you’re here as evidence.” “Circumstantial. Now, come make yourself useful.”
Maybe infatuated isn’t the right word, because I’m on the verge of becoming a criminal to ward any unwanted attention off her.
“You of all people ought to understand that since you’re sarcastic about everything.” “Being sarcastic doesn’t make me cynical.” “With your dark sense of humor, it does.” “I don’t have a dark sense of humor.” He lifts his hand and shows it to me. “See that?” I frown. “What?” “The black covering my hands when I accidentally touch your humor.”
“That’s the thing.” He looks at me funny. “My urge for violence has become less important since you.”
Because there’s one thing my toy doesn’t realize yet. Or maybe it’s buried too deep for her to recognize it. She’s mine. Body and fucking soul. And it all started the day she got off on having me chase her in the woods. Or maybe it started the first time I saw her three years ago when she smiled while she was crying.
“Is your friend scared? Feeling threatened?” “A little.” A lot. “Does she suspect anyone?” “It could be people from her parents’ past.” “Maybe you should distance yourself from her then.” “I…will.” I scoff internally at the thought of distancing myself from myself. I’d love that option more than anything right now.
“Take it back, Mom.” “Nao-chan…” “Please, please, take it back. Please don’t say that you’re leaving. Please tell me it’s not your time yet and that the doctor made a mistake.” “Honey…” She wraps her arms around me, her voice brittle. “I’m so sorry.”
“How…how can you be so calm about this? How can you talk about the will and the business and fuck knows what?” “Because you’re staying, Nao. And I want to make sure you have everything you need.” “Everything I need to live without you?” She strokes my hair behind my ear and smiles a little. “You’re old enough.” “I’m never old enough to be without you, Mom.”
Owen told me to find a pussy to wet my dick in and relieve some tension. I punched him.
