Kindle Notes & Highlights
"When you remove a man's tongue, you are not afraid of the defamation he might bring to your name, rather than the truths he might speak. Truth brings clarity, and clarity breeds defiance,"
"I will never be able to get my real truths out without killing myself, let alone act on the one action that will set me free.
"You should not worry about her." His smile rises. "You should worry about whoever was foolish enough to take her."
We love an MMC out for vengeance
Thinking of her defiant attitude and warm smile, I clutch onto the pocket watch. The idea of her floods me with a sense of genuine peace. Those few months she saw me as an ally, I never wanted to rip off the mask. Even if she wasn't seeing the full picture, she could at least look at me without wanting to tear my head off. Her laugh was my weakness, and her smile was my one light in this shit show of a life. She could have asked me to rip my heart out for her, and I would have.
😭😭😭
“I thought you'd be able to tell, love, although this body's looks don't compare to mine at all.”
"You look exquisite when you're angry. I'm glad you are finally allowing your true colors to show,"
Xavier 🤝 Aaron Warner
"I told you I would never lie to you, Forest, and I meant it."
"Do I finally get a lap dance from one of you?" I question, growing the smile across the man's face.
Only Xavier can make like of this situation lol
“Do try. I love your empty threats. Don't act as if you're capable of harming me." His lips graze my ear, sending shivers down my body.
I LOVE HIM
"You can strike me, cut me, or bring me to my knees, forcing me to beg for mercy. You can break my fingers or slice my ears clean off. I will embrace every torturous action you inflict on me with a smile, savoring the taste of my own blood dripping down my face. I am no stranger to pain, Forest Blackburn. Don't make empty threats toward me unless you are willing to see what I look like when I'm not protecting you,"
No one ever explains how grief can hit you at any moment. You hear people say that it comes in waves, pulling itself from the depths of your mind when you least expect it to. I always assumed that grief was a one-time feeling, something that comes in the form of shock in one explosive episode before eventually becoming numb. Anyone who says they no longer feel the pain of grief is a liar. They just became incredibly good at making life seem like they are no longer clouded by the reality death has brought them.
"It takes much more to hate than it does to forgive. Remember that,"
"I love you, Fallan. I will always love you."
"To think I thought I was the only one who fancied gagging another person."
I'd be lying if I said the things I do with women were tender, sweet touches. It would be relieving to take her somewhere private and have my way with her until her pleasure has turned into fear of how far I will go. I live for the panic I can create in one's mind, pushing a girl's body until her knees give out and they are no longer able to keep taking what I have to offer. At that point, I am too far gone, ready to ravage the woman until her nails are permanently engraved in my back and her neck is housing enough bruises to barely speak the next morning.
Yes please sir
"I don't stop my actions once I start," he says, his jaw clenching as he speaks. "And getting you to look at me with anything other than hate is at the top of my list,"
