Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I can shower by myself. I’ve gotten pretty good at it over the years.”
“Hold still,” he growls, tightening his grip on my ankle. “It tickles.”
“I don’t care.” “That’s wildly apparent,” I grumble,
“You’re just as sick as me, Lillith. I know it. Your body knows it. Why don’t you?”
“Is Kain your real name?”
“No.” There’s a pause like he’s battling whether to say anything more. “How did you know I go by Kain?” “Your jacket,”
“I meant, what’s your birth name?” “Why do you care?” My face heats. “Well, I don’t, but—”
“Then we’re in the same boat, little flower.”
“Kain and Lillith. The devil and his queen. It sounds deli...

“Stop looking at me like that.” “Or what?” The snarky comment comes out before
“Yes, breakfast.” He cocks his head. “I assume you eat?”
I’m…excited. Excited to make Lillith breakfast.
“Lillith?” I knock once, then burst into the bedroom.
I barely have enough time to duck as a pillow is lodged at my head, and I straighten with a scowl. The fuck?
She throws another, but her aim is so off I don’t ev...

“I have zero desire to turn you into a lamp, Lillith.”
“See? It’s good. I grew the veggies myself.”
“How stupid do you think I am? You didn’t grow shit. What’s wrong with it?”
“I would never hurt you, Lillith. Eat.”
“Yet you had no qualms about knocking me unconscious last night.”
“It’s as simple as that, Lillith. Submit.”
“You’re a fucking monster,” she chokes, shoving weakly at my chest. “I hate you.”
“No, you don’t, flower,”
She’s been craving me her whole life. Someone to force her to give up that control she holds so dear. Someone to unravel her and hold her together when it’s all over.
“Let me break you, Lillith.” I promise you’ll only regret it for a little while.
“It’s not a trick, Lillith. If you don’t want to see it…” “No! I want to see it.”
“I mean—please, can you show it to me?”
“Okay.” A hint of a smile tugs at my lips as I hold open the bedroom door for her. “Let’s go outside.”
This is it. This is my chance to escape.
“Hey! Stop that, you big brute!” I snap,
“I’m assuming this gives you some sick pleasure.” He cocks his head. “Actually, no.” He turns abruptly,
“You fucking asswipe,” I snarl,
“Come on. Or do you not want to go outside now that your chances of escape are gone?”
“Oh. You thought I didn’t know that’s what you were trying to do. That hurts, Lillith.”
“Why would I lie?” “I don’t know… because you’re a sociopath?”
He pauses. “I’m not a sociopath.” That makes me pause. “You’re not?”
“No. I’m a psychopath.”
“Sociopaths are made. I was born this way.”
“There’s also a debate on the amount of… impulse control between the two,” he says, his voice tight as he stomps in the direction of the greenhouse.
This is the first time he hasn’t looked at me while he’s speaking, and I realize that he really doesn’t like talking about it.
Well, I don’t like being kidnapped and collared...
