“Tell me, darling, do you think of me often?”
“She does have a nasty habit of stabbing people, doesn’t she?”
“I’m embarrassed to not die in a more dramatic manner.”
“You’re a crazy bitch, you know that?” “Yes,” I sigh, “I know that, and you know that. See, what I’m asking is if anyone else knows that.” He huffs out a pained laugh. “Everyone knows you’re a crazy bitch. You have quite the reputation.”
“Prove it,” I repeat, voice quiet. “Hate me enough to make me want you.” I cup her jaw, feeling her eyes burning into mine. “Ruin me.”
“Aren’t you entitled for a criminal.” “And aren’t you righteous for being no better?”
A pain in the ass does not even begin to describe this girl.
“Kai,” she whispers, “I never learned how to swim.” “You’re okay,” I murmur, pushing tangled hair from her face. “I’ve got you.”
“Jealousy looks good on you, Gray,” I murmur, my fingers still cupping her chin. Her eyes flick between mine, full of a familiar fire. “I’m not jealous.” My gaze lingers on her lips before traveling down the length of her. “Then you just look good.”
It’s silly, really. No, actually, it’s bullshit. It’s complete and utter bullshit that he’s able to make me melt with nothing more than a mere touch.
Sunlight is streaming through her hair, making her glow like something far too heavenly for me. “I thought you had found your courage,” she says softly. I smile slightly. “Maybe I’m fine with being a fool. So long as it’s for you.”
He’s hurt. And I hate it. That realization might just anger me more. Because it is then that I understand just how terribly I will hurt anyone who dares hurt him.
“Oh, but you are my undoing. My deliverance. My downfall disguised as a deity.” Another slow step. “You are my ruin.” I’m dazed, unable to do anything but let a smile tug at my lips. “Call us even. Call me crazy. I don’t care. Just…” His eyes are pleading, brimming with emotion. “Just call me yours.”
