Kindle Notes & Highlights
He is exactly what I need right now. Questionable self-esteem. Possibly dependent. Eager to please. And just so sweet. Not even a minute later, the phone chimes to let me know it’s a match. Puppy wants to play with me. I smile at my screen. Maybe it’s beginner’s luck. Or maybe I already found that special someone I’m looking for—the one. The next guy I’m going to kill.
The idea of a classic romance with handwritten love letters would probably make him break out into hives.
Purple Puppy: This is why I like talking to you so much. You have a great personality and you’re not afraid to use it. Thanks, babe. I made this one just for you.
When we’re texting or on the phone, I get to be his entire world. Out here, not so much. And it’s nothing short of infuriating for me.
Now, I don’t know who once told this precious ray of sunshine to shut up about his special interests, but I want to knock their teeth in.
“An ancient cure-all made by mummifying a cadaver in honey for a century. There’s still debate whether the ritual sacrifice existed or if the historical records are fictitious,” Bailey says

IM TELLING YOU ITS BAILEY I SWEAR IT BETTER BE
sorry im very passionate about this
“Look at me.” My gaze locking on to him pulls a moan from his depths. “I don’t want you looking anywhere else.” Fuck, if making him jealous gets this result, I’m doing it all the time. “What if someone looks at me?” I tease further.
“I’ll make sure he can’t again.” Not the sexiest sentence, unless said like a breathy promise while on the brink of coming. Instantly, I’m reminded of what Cas told me earlier this week about shoving anyone between me and him off a bridge. That thought, of someone matching my obsession with their own darkness, gets me to come.
Orchid Mantis: I’ve never really thought of myself as gay even though I’ve always preferred men. (Killing men, also, but I’ll leave that part out.)
“So, basically, I give you something only I can do for you, which means you’ll have a level of reliance on me only you can offer. You feed my fixation and it’s exactly what yours needs.” “Sounds toxic and codependent.” “No, more like you and I were made for each other, baby.”
“Sounds like someone’s fallen in love,” he says with a smirk. “No. You fucking came along and tripped me.”
Finally, I have the perfect fucking man. Literally made for me. And there’s a very real possibility he’s slightly homicidal. What the fuck does that say about me?
“Sometimes ugly things are harmless. And sometimes beautiful things are deadly.”
