Kindle Notes & Highlights
To all those who feel just a little different. Bunk’s got you.
To face the monster who was born today. The one who will reside in the back of the boy’s mind. The one who will manifest and turn into a demon. A demon he will never outrun. A demon who looks so much like my own. Our rebirth comes at the cost of our souls, and now the devil will forever chase.
I gulp, eyes widening as I take him in, and my whole body flushes with heat while I try to wrap my head around my emotional whiplash. Oh damn. Did he just growl? I don’t think I’ve ever heard that tone from him before, and I think I kind of like it.
Poor Whaley. His future was sealed with those simple words, because he’ll be mine and I’ll make sure of that. Whether he likes it or not.
“Oh, fuck. I like this. Can you squeeze just a little harder?”
“Shit,” he whispers, eyes falling closed as he wiggles under my hand. “That tone, the way you’re handlin’ me... Gonna make me nut if you keep it up.”
“You gotta nice smile, but you never let me see it. I hate that, you know?”
Damn it, I want to eat him alive. I want to tear him apart. I want to be his salvation, his glory, and his fucking demise.
“Lord, thank you so much for blessin’ Whaley with this monster of a cock, and thank you for givin’ me the opportunity to worship it. I swear, I won’t forget this service.”
We’re like a lit match and lighter fluid, which is fine separately, but the second they come together, it creates a fire that spreads, burning everything in its path. We’d burn the fucking world to the ground. His demons mixed with mine would be noxious. We’d destroy each other, leaving nothing left but broken shells once it was all said and done.
Maybe the best way to love him is to not have him at all. Maybe that fate worse than death is my lot in life
“Bunky, you have to be real sure about this. This will change everythin’. Once you’re mine, I’ll never let you escape.”
“I mean it this time, Bunk. A man like me can’t do casual. If we’re in this, we’re fuckin’ in this. If we do this, you’re mine. No break ups, no misunderstandin’s, nothin’. We’re together and that won’t change for as long as we’re alive.”
I don’t think I’ll ever regret finally accepting and taking what’s mine.
“Would have chased you your entire life. Stalked you until you caved. Carved my name into your skin to show you how serious I was. You’ll never be able to escape me.”
I realize it’s the first time in a truly long time I’ve ever been happy and it’s all because of this pushy, bratty, psycho baby that’s tucked beside me. Which makes me feel really damn lucky.
“You’ll die before you leave me. I’ll chase you to Hell to keep you with me. You’re my every thought and my every desire. You’re mine, little psycho.”
“I was made for you. Your strength, your kindness, your loyalty. The way you take care of me. The way you say my name. I’ll always belong to you.”
“Every breath I take is you. You’ve consumed me. Gonna show you just how much.”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake. Badge, I care about Bunky, alright? A whole fuckin’ lot. I won’t lie, this shit was not expected, and it wasn’t what I wanted either. I’m not a romance guy. Not one to do relationships, you know this about me. I’ll bet it’s the main reason you want to tear my head off right now, but with Bunky it’s different. I can’t explain it. There aren’t words. We’re a beautiful fucking disaster waitin’ to happen, I know it. I know it and yet I can’t find it in me to stop what we’ve started. I won’t.” I pause, trying to explain this the best way I know how. “It’s like the chaos, the

“He’s my life. I won’t say I love him because I won’t lie, but that don’t mean I wouldn’t take a knife to the heart for him. I know our relationship is hard to justify but don’t ever fuckin’ doubt the extent of my feelin’s. There are no lines I wouldn’t cross for him, even if that means pissin’ you off.”
It’s my birthday, bitches!
“First off, don’t ever fuckin’ yell at me like that again. We’re a team, and if you’re strugglin’, I want to be there to help you. Lean on me, but don’t take it out on me.” A teasing smile covers his lips. “Well, I take that back, you can take anythin’ out on me in the bedroom. I’d be okay with that.”
“We’re a team. Don’t shut me out and don’t keep things from me. You’re upset? I wanna know so I can make it better.”
He always knows what to say, even when I’m fucking everything up. No matter what I do, he’ll always come back to me, and that steadying presence means the world to me. There should be limits to the things we’ll take from each other, but I don’t give a damn about that.
“Sorry I lost my temper. Sorry I hurt you. I didn’t mean to.”
“All because you knew what I was thinkin’, what I wanted, what I couldn’t say myself.” He smiles and my heart melts. “Because you didn’t judge me, because you didn’t hesitate, because you danced with my demons and came out alive.”
love you, my little psycho. More than myself, more than my life, more than anythin’.”
He’s my fucking strength. He’s turned into my daily motivation, the reason I want to be better. It used to be all about making up for my past, wanting to help people because I felt like I owed the world something after all the fucked-up shit I’d done. Bunky showed me a whole new outlook. Now all the things that I did for redemption, I started to do for him. He gives me everything, and to call him a weakness only pisses me off.
“One day they will be. You know why? Because you get the chance to make them better,” he tells me, hands running up and down my back. “You wanna fight out the pain? I’ll take you to the ring. Wanna see a therapist, I’ll set it all up. Together we’ll get through this. Always us together.”
