Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Gone? Oh no, my sweet little bird, my obsession with you has only gotten worse.”
“You can run, but I’ll always chase you.”
“It’s good to hear you accept the inevitable,” he says, “because now you’re mine.”
In a perfect world, we’d complement one another. In a fucked-up world, we’d devastate each other.
“How often does a man find a woman he’d destroy the world for?”
“I won’t let you leave,” I whisper against her skin. “I warned you that I wanted to own you, and I do. Every single piece of you belongs to me now.”
“Your capacity for forgiveness confuses me, but I need it,” I say. “I’ll never apologize for protecting you because your life is all that matters to me. However, I’m sorry for hurting you.”
“Go to hell.” He laughs to himself, the sound hollow and forlorn. “Go to hell? Without you, I’m already there.”
“I’m not leaving you. Not now, not ever. When I told you that you’re mine, I meant it. You’re mine to protect, to care for, and to avenge. I won’t ask for your permission, but things would be easier if you’d stop fighting me.”
“You think I don’t know that? Something inside me fucking died when I saw you lying there, covered in blood.” I reach for Calista, taking her face between my hands and forcing her to look up at me. “I don’t think you realize what that did to me, how it’s still killing me.”
Good thing she went to the doctor I suggested, the one that I coerced into giving Calista a saline shot instead of the actual Depo. I’m going to put a baby in her. If not tonight, then soon…
“Love doesn’t make you weak. It gives you the strength to fight for something worth having. Love should bring joy and fulfillment, not sadness and emptiness.”
This man has fucked me ten ways from Sunday, and I can’t greet him without being self-conscious? Unbelievable.
“Rejection only makes me want you more,” he says. “Keep fighting me, and I’ll be fucking you on the dining table.”
“Don’t try to leave the property without me.” “What do you think I’m going to do, Hayden? Start swimming and hope I make it without drowning first? I’m not an idiot.”
“All I see is you. All I want is you. When I’m not with you, I can’t think. You’ve fucking wrecked me, but I don’t care. Not if it means I get to have you.”
