Kindle Notes & Highlights
Seeing him again is painful. Confronted by his face and his voice, I’m rocked by the admission that I’ve never been able to get over him. Being with him had been the sweetest of agony. An addiction that left me hollow when I chose to walk away.
“You only wanted Sin.” He shakes his head. “You never gave a shit about me. All you wanted was your lover in the dark.” “You are Sin, remember? How many times did you remind me of that?” “Not enough for it to matter.”
I learned that it doesn’t matter how good you make someone feel, or how much you love them, they’re all going to fucking leave you in the end.
I’m not even going to entertain the idea. Not because I don’t want her. I do. But because I know that the second I have her again, there’s no way I’m going to let her go.
“But sometimes even monsters need a little sweetness in their lives. And some nice girls have a darker side that needs feeding.”
“Kiss me,” she whispers. “Tell me you want me. I need to hear you say it.” Apparently, I’m not above pleading. Her fingers slide into my hair, and I let her pull my head down until my mouth is hovering just above hers. “I want you.” I thrust inside her and capture her lips with mine at the same time.
“No running away.” He drops another kiss on my lips. “I’m not giving up without a fight this time.”
“Feed me. Fuck Me. Fight me? I think I’ve checked off all three. So how about a new challenge? Spend time with me. Get to know me.” Remember how much you fucking loved me.
“The only woman I’ve ever let me mark me, Hellcat …” My tongue finds its way to her clit, and I take a long, leisurely lick, bringing her hips up off the bed. “... is you. My body, and my soul. Your claws are embedded too deep into me, Kitten. If you remove them, it might just kill me.”
“Until the last couple of months, we haven’t seen each other for years.” “What changed?” “Elena sent her to check on me at Christmas. And I realized nothing had changed. She’s still the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I just need to convince her it’s what she wants.”
Time to say goodbye. You don’t need me here anymore. I’ll always need you. I manage not to speak aloud. I can almost see his smile. No, my shift is over. It’s Arabella’s turn now. Live well, my friend. Let me go.
