Kindle Notes & Highlights
“A black bullet killed Abrahm.”
“It was me. I shot him.” The blood leaves my head and all I can do is look at her. “I was aiming for you.”
“I was following orders,”
“Why would you tell me?
“I didn’t know the weight of taking life. Not until Jenkins died. Not until I met you. I wanted to tell you earlier…”
“I’m sorry, Bradshaw.”
I can’t hate her. No matter how much I want to. Even for taking Abrahm… And that tears my soul apart.
“Why won’t you fucking kill me?! I’ve given you every reason. I’ve taken everything from you, Bradshaw. Everything!
“You want me to kill you? You really want me to?”
“Please. Please. Bradshaw. Please just make it stop,”
“Who taught you to beg for death just because you were a device?”
“Nell… I know it wasn’t personal… I know you were just going through the motions.”
“So why would I punish you? You’re just the weapon fired, not the ...

“I destroy everything I touch. I’m… the last Riøt soldier.”
“I’m tired of being the weapon. I’m tired of killing. I want to be free. Make me a good Riøt
and kill me. Then, maybe, my sins will...

“Would you kill me? If I took Jenkins from you? Tell me you would and I’ll give you what you want, Bun. But don’t you dare fucking lie to me. Would you watch the light leave my flesh? Would you send the devil back to hell?”
“Never. I could never. Not you.”
Because you make me feel things I’ve never experienced before. I could never hurt you. I could never let you go.
“I’m so mad at you, Bun, but if you think I’d ever risk losing you…”
“What have we let the world do to us, Bun?”
“We let them make monsters of us. Stolen vices.”
“I don’t think I can continue being Bones. Because Bones is heartless and ruthless. But ever since meeting you, I’ve been anything but those things. When I look at you, I feel like my thoughts are no longer blurry. This dark underworld I reign in doesn’t have to be the one I die in.”
“I want a world with you.”
“When I saw you wearing that dress it broke my heart. I saw what you could’ve been. I want you to wear whatever the fuck you want and be a normal person. Not out here, with bullets flying between us. I want us to be out there in the real world.”
“Do you think we could make it out?”
“Together, our broken pieces can do anything.”
“I forgive you for Abrahm.”
“All I want is to be by your side. In training, in war, in death. I can’t picture myself anymore without you being there, Bun. You linger in my thoughts, in my fears. But mostly, you’re the cause of all the emotions I feel again. I was
dead until you tripped on my foot on the plane.”
“You don’t get to forgive me,...

“I’m sorry, Bun, I can’t help how my heart feels. The only thing I know is that I cannot lose you.”
“And if you think I’m ever letting you go, you’re wrong. You’re mine. As much as I’m yours.”
My throat bobs. What I
feel for Bradshaw is dangerously close to love.
“But after you… I feel lonely whenever you’re not around.”
“So even if I come back from this mission, it’s not like I can stay with you. They’ll set you free while I remain a dark forces weapon.”
“You think I’d let them keep you here without me?”
“No. I mean—we don’t have time,”
“Baby, who cares? We have all the time we need.”
“Now, I want you to think long and hard about who’s eating you from the inside out while I lap you up. I want you screaming my name. I want you to be as possessive as I am of you.”
I’m already possessive of you,
“Stare into the mirror and watch me consume you. I won’t stop until you're trembling in my arms.”
“And I want you to punish me until you can forgive me for what I’ve done to you. For everything. I want you to make your mark on me, Bunny. Punish me so I can forgive me,”
“Eyes on the mirror. Watch me eat you. Watch yourself draw my blood.”
“Carve me up,” he murmurs against my clit before sucking in my sensitive flesh and making my vision blur with pleasure.
But most of all, I do it because I forgive him. Because I want to leave my mark on his skin forever like he did mine. I want to own him as much as he craves to dominate me.
“You are where my sanity starts,”
“You are where mine ends,”
“It’s okay, Bun, you can be yourself around me. You don’t have to always be tough. Let your walls down for once.”
