It Kills Me (Betrayal, #1)

by Penelope Sky

I’ll be around for ten more years. Maybe forty.

Such a large gap of time

Definite I-don’t-give-a-fuck vibes.

For real

“I definitely want you, baby.”

Bet

“You think your father doesn’t fuck his assistant?” “I prefer not to discuss my father’s sex life.” He smirked. “Then let’s discuss our sex life.”

Nah im good actually

“You want a man who isn’t afraid to say what he thinks, even if it conflicts with your beliefs. He seems like someone who will choose the path of silence rather than conflict because it’s not worth the effort—which means he doesn’t think he, himself, is worth the effort.

Axel

You deserve a man who takes care of you and everything else, even though he knows you can do it yourself.

Axel again

“But I want you to have a man who treats you the way I treat you. Loves you the way I love you. I’ve done everything I can to prove my love for you is unconditional. I’ve sacrificed so much for you, but I’ve done that happily because you’re the single most important thing to me…and I’m pretty sure you’ve never had to question that.”

If thesses words came out of my dads mouth id laugh

“You should never have to question him, sweetheart. When you aren’t in the room, you know his eyes aren’t where they shouldn’t be. That whenever you text him, he’ll always respond, that you’re always his top priority. You never have to wonder where he is or what he’s doing because he doesn’t lie, and he keeps his word to you. Even if he never tells you he loves you, you would know that he does. That’s what I want for you. And Ryan isn’t it.”

Standards

“I think life is more than a piece of art on the wall. It’s about living in the moment, not staring at someone else’s moment.”

Honest opinion? Idk if i like him

Fuuuccck, this woman drove me crazy.

We all do

“I have obligations tonight. But tomorrow night, I’m coming to your place. You’re going to cook me dinner then come on my face. Any questions?”

Aye eye sir

That was the moment I knew we would never be anything more than…this. A secret. A dirty, fucking secret.

Eugh

I’d wanted her the moment I’d laid eyes on her, but I’d never imagined I would want her even more after I’d had her.

“I’m not going to fall for you, Scarlett. If that’s your problem, then we have no problem. Although, I’m insulted that’s such a hang-up for you.”

Liar

“Seems like a prick.” “More like an egomaniac.” “Aren’t we all?”

Men? Yes. Stupid women? Also yes. Me? No

“But if I had to put a label on it…” He sat with his forearms resting on his thighs, massaging his big knuckles with his large fingers. “I’d say you’re my lady.”
