Kindle Notes & Highlights
I just let a crazy psycho stalker finger me while he jacked off so I could keep my own money. I try to avoid trouble, I really do.
His brothers are all just as good looking as him, none of them give off the same air of unhinged like Killian does.
“It’s just sleeping. Nothing else.” I take out one of my hands from under my head to wave her forward. “I’ll be a good boy and I won’t even ask you to suck my cock again. Though, to be clear, you’re free to do so of your own volition.” Her lips part as she stares at me. “You really are mental.” “That’s the consensus.” I wave at her again.
“But maybe just now, you need a monster to fight back the other monsters.”
“No way, luv. You’re not touching this fucker’s piss. He made the mess, acting like the dog he is, he’ll either clean it up or I’ll rub his nose in it.” I’m honestly not sure if I should be impressed or appalled.
Reaching out, he brushes his knuckles over my mound. “This belongs to me,” he rumbles. “No one else.”
I hated the way she sounded then, broken and battered, like I’d wrung out the last of her dignity. But this please… It sets me on fire.
“Hey,” I whisper. “You’re with a monster, remember? No one is going to hurt you here.” I, however, am going to kill that motherfucker. Slowly. And with great pleasure. She lifts her head then, her eyes full of tears. “You’d protect me?” “You’re fucking right I would.” The words are out before I really think about them, but they settle over me like a warm blanket. I mean them.
“Because,” she sighs. “You’re my stalker. I can’t go hanging out at your place. That’s just wrong.” I don’t release her. “It would make the stalking much easier if you did.”
her fingers tracing the edges of the massive tattoo on my chest. “Is it the Milky Way?” “Yeah,” I answer. I don’t tell her that each star I add to the outer edges represents a life I’ve taken.
He looks between me and her, noting my shirtless chest and her bare feet. “I’m just curious, yesterday you intimated that my brother was—erm—following you?” “Yeah. This is a lot less work for both of us,” she answers
I know that Killian and I aren’t dating. This time yesterday, I was considering involving the police.
“Want to come over after you’re out of work and see my bed?” “Why would I need to see your bed?” “It’s like my cock, it’s really big,”
The air rushes from my lungs in relief. For a girl who doesn’t usually give men power, I’m being pretty liberal with what I’m allowing Killian.
Excitement bubbles in my chest. For the first time in a while, I feel like things are actually getting better and I am moving toward my goals. That usually means my world is about to fall apart.
“I…” I shake my head. “I know I’m a lot.” I feel her relax as she kisses along the scruff of my jaw. “Your monster cock? Yeah. It’s a lot.” Right. We’re talking about the size of my junk not the fact that I’ve never been worth much.
“I don’t give a shit about stuff, and I don’t care what you take from my life, Chloe. Take as much as you want. It’s still way nicer to have you here.”
“Sorry,” he says, though he doesn’t stop laughing as he stands. “I lack a lot. And you should be guarded with me for many reasons. But money is the one thing I have in abundance. Well…that and muscles. You can’t use those up either, sweetheart.”
“I like your honesty.” I stop in the doorway, turning back to her. “What?” “I like that I don’t have to wonder what your true intentions are. I always just know. Even when I don’t like them, I know them and then I can respond to them. That is what makes me feel safe with you, when I don’t with anybody else.” I stare at her, blinking in surprise. “Everyone hates how much shit I just let fall out of my mouth.” “Not me,” she whispers. “I like it.” I’m back to the bed in an instant as I practically dive on top of her. No one accepts me for who I am.
And I’m giving her something I’ve never given another woman…my heart. I’m falling in love.
“No woman has ever made me feel more seen and accepted than you, Chloe. Do you know how powerful that is for me?”
I thought he was my monster. And, I guess, when I really think about it, if he’s out there punishing men who’ve hurt me then he is… But part of what I’ve been denying is that his violence could turn on me.
“I would never hurt you, Chloe. Never. It’s not a promise, it’s a vow. You could burn me to the ground, and I’d still give you everything.”
“I meant what I said, Chloe. You are my forever. It doesn’t matter if you never speak to me again after tonight. You could curse my name. You could turn me into the police and leave me to rot in prison. You’re imprinted inside me, and I will be yours until my last breath.”
“You’re not listening. She is my family. And if anyone, and I mean anyone, tries to hurt her, the consequences are going to send the whole of Vegas crashing down.”
“My family is not our biggest supporters,” I rumble back. “Of course they aren’t.” She burrows into me. “We’ve known each other for less than a week, I witnessed you commit murder. They don’t know who I am or what I’m about. And they are worried about you.”
