Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s been a hard-fought year of blood and mud and sweat and death. And I’ve loved every fucking minute of it. The adrenaline, the rush of a plan going tits up. The surge of excitement when eliminating an enemy, whether a single man or an entire fucking army. Of their screams as they beg for mercy and I give them none, of laughing in their faces as I rip their throats out and bathe my hands in their blood, of them dying by my hand.
Comfort is the enemy of ambition
nothing kills my erection like the stench of desperation on a woman.
“The way he was looking at you tonight…if you do find him, know that he might never let you go.”
“You’ve caught my attention.” My breath catches in my throat at his declaration. I shake my head. “I don’t want it.” “It’s not up to you, amor.”
My cock throbs painfully in my trousers. He’s finally found someone he wants to fuck into next year and he doesn’t appreciate not being allowed to do so.
I want her tears. I want her anger. I want her smiles and her laughter. I want it all. That’s why I’m taking it all.
For every white knight, there’s a black one. Where there’s good, there’s evil lurking right beneath the surface. That’s the checks and balances of humanity. That’s how the world works. I’m a facilitator of the Underworld, not its creator. That darkness exists whether I’m involved in it or not, I just happen to master it.”
The white elites have convinced themselves that they’re the righteous simply because their oppression of people happens via the confines of legitimate business and not out in the open or on the streets.
“I’ll kill anyone that gets between you and me, amor. Take that as my first wedding vow,”
“Do you even know it? Are you even conscious of the dark urges you have, of the fantasies that you suffocate inside you because you think good girls like you shouldn’t have them?” His voice is liquid lust, intoxicating and persuasive as he rasps low, “I want them all. They belong to me. Give them to me and I’ll do every single one of them to you. Tell me all the dark, deviant fantasies you dream of and I’ll teach you how to be a good girl and a whore for me, just like you want.”
“But from this day onwards your pussy is mine and mine alone. If I see you flirting with someone else, if I see you dancing with, smiling at, or entertaining another man in any way.” He pauses, his mouth stretching into a cold, terrifying smile. “You’ll find out just how the devil came by his reputation.”
This kiss has the gravitational pull of a black hole and I’m sucked in with no hope of escape.
“Just because he doesn’t see how exceptional you are, doesn’t mean I don’t. It’s why I need you back.”
“But I’ll also make sure no one ever touches you. You’ll be my queen and I’ll protect you with my dying breath if I have to. Whatever it takes to keep you safe, I’ll do it without batting an eye.”
“When will you smile for me?”
“Do you understand what you do to me now? Why I had to chase you halfway around the world to have you?” Softer, he mumbles, “I knew I was supposed to wait for you, amor.”
“I want to be the one you cross things off your bucket list with.”
“I love you so much that I can’t breathe. I think I’ve loved you from the first moment I saw you.
