Kindle Notes & Highlights
I’ll always do what she asks because she is my weakness. There’s not a thing I wouldn’t do for her. I’ll cross every fucking line, I’ll break all the rules, I’ll drown in her love. I’ll die for her.
I will set the whole world on fire if she dies on me.
There is no me without her. She has my pathetic, blackened soul wrapped around her wings.
“That night at El Devine changed my life forever. I knew I loved him then and I know I love him now.”
“I won’t ever let you forget how fucking much I worship you.”
“I know it’s been a while, but don’t forget who you’ve missed, Ari. Do I need to remind you of the way I like to fuck? Who exactly owns this cunt?” My eyes circle when I feel his lips on mine again, moving ferociously, and then he pulls my hair tight, and I gasp against his lips. “Let me see you cry for me, baby.”
“I warned you. Once I start, there’s no stopping me from making my little angel fall from heaven on my cock.”
“God can’t hear you, little angel. My name is the only one you will ever cry out for.”
Screw this. I will fuck her like it’s my last day on this earth. I don’t care if we’re in a hospital room; I’m taking full fucking advantage of having one small window to see her again. I’ve been deprived of her taste, and I’m a starved man, determined to empty my lust inside her.
If this is what it's like to be sick with her love, I never want to be cured.
I’ll always be the asshole in her story with open arms to protect her. I’ll be the villain if that means she stays shielded from evil.
She’s the only light in my life, and I intend on making sure she always shines bright for the rest of our lives.
I’ll be the only man she’ll ever moan for, and that’s a fucking promise.
I will be her firsts and lasts and that’s an unbreakable vow of mine.
“I’ll try not to drag you to hell, baby. Now, take your punishment and spit on my dick.”
“That’s right, baby, watch me fuck you because this is the only cock that will ever be inside you for as long as you live.”
She’s right. I have been dehydrated. I need to be refueled by her cunt. By her love.
“You bleed so fucking sweet.” “You’re insane,” she rasps. “For you,” I mumble as I brush my hand through her hair. “I don’t want you to leave. Is that selfish of me?” she asks through fast breathing. “It isn’t.”
“Dehydrated, huh?”
“Severely parched… I almost had to be admitted.”
“Right, and I’m having the shits. Do I have to get admitted, too?”
“I don’t know, man. I hear having the shits can lead to dehydration. Do you want to stop by Noel’s so she can…rehydrate you?”
“You guys live on base, right? We can stop by for five minutes.”
“I don’t know about five...

“Asshole.”
“I didn’t tell you to protect you. You don’t need to worry about the bullshit that my job holds. Nothing has happened so far. My team and I are taking care of it, and if that means you can focus on rebuilding yourself without having to worry about things you shouldn’t, then I’ll be the fucking bad guy in your story.”
“I won’t let you leave me, Ari. Grant me mercy by putting a bullet in my head, then. Because I’d rather die than live in a world where someone else has your soul and not me.”
“I love you!” I shout again. “I love you all the time, Danny. I’ve loved you since the day I met you. I love you even when I shouldn’t. I worry about you because I love you. Every time you walk out that door, I’m scared you won’t come back to me. I think these things because I love you. I love all of you...everything. All the parts of you that you consider dark? Every part of you that you deem unworthy? I think are beautiful…because I
love you.”
“Kane might leave the military for you, but... I would die for you,”
“You need to be strong, Ari. Be strong for yourself. Not for me, not for your mother. Not even for Paul, but for yourself. Embrace your wounds. Embrace every single scar because they don’t define who you are in the ways you think
they do. It just means you can’t be killed so easily. You don’t go down without a fight. You’re stronger than you think. Your wings may be bent, little angel, but they aren’t broken. You’re stronger than your scars. Because they’ll fade away, but your soul won’t.”
“Grim, it’s no secret that I’ve always cared about her. She loves me, too.”
“You’re right, Kane. I did always know you cared about her. What I didn’t know was how eager you are to die.”
“Fuck this. I’m done hiding my feelings for her. She needs a man that’s always going to be there for her. She needs stability, and you’re always gone. I’m getting out soon.” “Don’t talk about my girl like you know her.” He snarls. My girl. “I knew her first. I think I know her better than you,” Kane retorts.
“Do you know whose name she screams when she comes?” Oh shit.
“Danny...” I complain, throwing my legs back outside, tempted to jump out of his vehicle. He stands there tall, holding the door open, ready to slam it shut. “You’re drunk. And I don’t care that we’re not together. I’ll make sure you get to your bed, in your pajamas, in your house. You’re also going to take Advil for the hangover you’re about to have in the morning.”
Because even though I’m angry, the hold he has on me is tattooed into my soul permanently, like the ink on his skin.
“You want to leave me? Fine. You want to get out of this truck? You will. But not until after you take your punishment like the bad girl you’ve been.” I glare at him daringly. “We’re not together,” I remind him. He smirks villainously, gives me a thrilling smile, and flashes me his perfect teeth with sharp canines. He looks at my widened, curious eyes before he trails his gaze over my lips, then down to my breasts. He hums. “Ari Natalia. You will always be mine.”
“I’m going to punish you for thinking you could ever leave me. You drive me so fucking insane. Do you know what these past few days have been like? They’ve been worse than hell, baby.”
“I see your mouth is still as filthy as ever...”
“Open wide, baby, because I’m about to cleanse it for you.”
“My cock and spit will be the only things that touch this dirty mouth of yours tonight. Not my come, not my lips. I won’t even kiss you this time.”
“Take your punishment, or I’ll force it down your throat.”
He doesn’t have to tell me twice.
I will treasure this moment because I’m determined to make it our last.
I want us both to feel our hatred, let it possess our spirits, and let our bodies do the talking instead.
“You’re going to take your punishment, Ari. You’re going to bleed sweet tears for me, and you’re going to hate it.”
