Loving the Reaper (Silver Falls University #2)

by Lola King

To all the women who smile when they want to scream. I got you, darling. Sit back And watch it all burn.

That's what Peach does. She bites, and she fights. She will drag your sanity out of you before she ends you. "Gentle," I murmur. "Let's not do this. No push and pull. Please, just tonight. Be sweet to me, and I'll leave the side of me you hate behind."

"I don’t want us to fight this anymore. I don't want to have to show you that you like me through jealousy. You're worth so much more to me."

I'm dying to kiss her. That's all I've ever wanted. She's the only woman I'd move heaven and earth for a chance to kiss.

Penelope Sanderson-Menacci. You’ll be the end of me one day, and I can’t wait.

Peach is a stake lodged so fucking deep in my heart, every day that goes by could turn me a little more dangerous to her.

"I love it when you fight me, Trouble."

"I would choose you. Even if you weren't worth it. And you would have nothing to prove. I would choose you among a million other people. And anyone would be the luckiest person on this planet if you chose them in return."

"I’m going to take so much pleasure destroying that friendship you tried so hard to preserve." Thrust. "I’m going to fuck you so hard, put you at my mercy, have a hold on you so tight, that the word friend will never cross your mind again when you think of me."

"It breaks my heart that you see yourself so one-dimensionally," he rasps. "You're more than a reputation or a label. You're human, Peach. My favorite one, as it just so happens. Don't do this to yourself."

"And that's when I understood." He looks at me, smiling shyly now. "Home is a small place. It's the tiniest place. It fits in my heart. It's you. I hope I can be that for you someday too."

"You're sick," I say in the most loving way I ever have to him. "Your obsession with me. It's…it's sick," I repeat. He nods, almost proud of himself. "I know. You're an illness inside me, and I never want to be cured."

"Why are you always sending so much love my way, Wren Hunter?" "Because keeping all that love to myself would be inhuman."
