Kindle Notes & Highlights
For everyone just trying to survive life one step at a time. It doesn’t matter how many times you screw up, as long as you try to fix it.
"Har, taking on a Vitale bastard is a lot." I shrugged at Benito. "Full offense, your whole bloodline is a chaotic mess."
Too bad he’s a Vitale. I'd rather dip my nuts in boiling water than get involved with them.
He screamed bad boy but gave off princess vibes right now.
As bad as Vitales were, they were also temptation.
Blake blinked a few times at me, his face flushed and his lips slightly swollen from the kiss. He shouldn't look so damn cute.
Blake’s blue eyes were filled with fury as he glared up at me. A shiver raced down my spine, and I couldn't help but blow him a kiss.
“I’ll burn this place down,” Blake threatened. “You’re asking for it, little Vitale. I will break your ass if you mess anything up in this apartment.”
"Keep playing with me, baby girl, and I will ruin you."
"I'm good at getting into places or stealing." And setting fires. I'm great at that.
"Pretty cages are still a cage."
I was used to the nicknames; baby girl, doll, whatever new one he came up with for the day. But Blake? Just him saying my real name made fireworks light up inside of me.
"あなたとのキスは病みつきになる。気をつけないと。" Kissing you is addictive. I should be careful.
"Un altro fratello che pensa di essere intelligente." A heavy sigh filled the car as Benito continued to mudder in Italian. "Idiota. Perché io?"
Everyday I was by his side, I was able to keep going forward. Was he a dick? Yes, a colossal one, but life wasn't the same without him either.
I went up on the tips of my toes, but the asshole was a damn giant. I could barely reach. I didn't have to tell him to move though. Quincy tugged me tight against his body and pressed his lips to mine. The moment he did, it was like color came back into my world.
"Still not close enough," he muttered against my lips. "You sure I can't slice you open and live inside of you for a little while?"
"Damn, that was a good-ass right hook." "I have plenty more of those if you act like an idiot." "Yes, baby." He grinned. "You're so hot."
Quincy shook his head. "You settle my mind more than the weed ever has."
Fuck. If he kept saying shit like this, I was going to end up getting pregnant.
mpreg???
As my eyes started shutting and I was lolled into sleep, I heard the faintest whisper from him. "I think I'm in love with you, Blake."
Quincy pouted. My heart squeezed, and right then and there, I realized I had a soft spot for absolute dumbasses. He was the king of them.
"You really don't have to do this." "Shut up. If I hate it that much, I'll just divorce you." Quincy's eyes darkened. "Yeah? If you try that shit, you'll find out how crazy I really am, baby girl."
"You're mine now. I mean, at this point, you've practically signed your name inside of me. No one else gets that fucking privilege again."
"I now pronounce you both, Mr. Vitale. You may kiss your husband."
I'm pretty sure I'm falling in love with a complete and total idiot.
"Aww, you need me attached to you, huh?" "No, I need to get you a tracker. Maybe I'll get you a necklace with one in it." My heart skipped a beat and I literally fell for him even harder. "Fuck, I'm madly in love with you."
If I could, I'd crawl inside of Blake and be there twenty-four-seven. No breaks needed.
His blue eyes glistened as he brought my face closer to kiss me more. "I'd do anything for you, Quincy." All the love I never thought I could have for someone came rushing forward. "I love you, Blake." His smile was slow, but brighter than anything I'd ever seen. "I love you too."
"I can't live without you, and now, I can't die without you either."
"そう、呼吸をする以上に君が必要なんだ。今から永遠に、あなたは私のすべて。" Yes. I need you more then I need to breathe. From now on and forever, you are my everything.
"Mine, you're all mine." The possession in his voice filled me with so much happiness, it only made me yearn for him more.
The way Quincy looked at me screamed I'm going to kill you. Instead of being afraid, I just smiled at him even more. He could never scare me, not anymore. Yeah, he was a psychotic asshole, but he was my psychotic asshole. And my innocent angel. He was a study in duality, and I would love him every minute of every day for it.
The moment my husband saw me, he headed over, jogging to get to me faster. He'd missed me just as much as I missed him. "Hey, baby girl. I missed you." His smile was bright.
"Baby girl, we're in this together. Life, death, and crime."
Blake pushed up on his tippy toes, and I leaned down to kiss him. "I love you." I cupped his face, keeping him close. "You're my world." I'd happily spend every moment I had making sure he felt how much he meant to me.
Quincy brushed his lips over my knuckles. "Everything's going to be okay." "Promise?" I whispered. He nodded. "As long as we have each other."
