Kindle Notes & Highlights
“There was someone else talking first, right? Someone a lot less irritating than you?” God, I should hang up. I really need to hang up. “Where’d you go, other friend?” Fuck. He’s talking to me.
“I think you want attention,” the man goes on, like I hadn’t been trying to dismiss this or explain my actions away. “Is that it, little rabbit? You’re looking for the kind of attention your friends won’t give you?” “No.” I force my words to remain flat. “Honestly? I’m just looking to go to bed soon.” “Well, that’s pretty disappointing. And I don’t believe you. I’ll give you the attention you’re looking for—” “Yeah, I’ll be hanging up now—” “All you have to do is wait for me.”
As much as they’re both my friends, I know that at the end of the day, I’m the third wheel. Normally, it doesn’t bother me. I’m used to feeling on the outs in most friend groups—all three I’ve had—but it still hurts once in a while.
“That’s a stupid name,” I huff after a moment, twisting my hands in his grip. “Who the fuck names their kid Huxley?”
“How is my karma this bad, huh?” I’m still talking to myself. “Fucked over as a kid, and now the state’s most prepared serial killer is in my house. Damn it!”
“Have you looked at yourself, Kai?” His grin is almost rueful. “You’re just so murder-able. And, let’s not forget, so fuckable.”
“Want me to be your wolf, little bunny? I’ll gladly close my jaws around this pretty throat and remind you that you’re prey. Oh, fuck—” He thrusts hard into me again. “We’re into some dark shit, aren’t we, Kai?”
“You little fucked up thing. Drugged out of your mind and you still want this. You want me to be your predator. To ruin you, to tear out your throat with my teeth.” He leans down to click his teeth together near my face. “That’s it. Your greedy pussy grips me so good when I do that.”
I’m not sorry about the mess. See you soon, little bunny P.S. I’ll kill your neighbor if she knocks on your damn door one more time. P.P.S. Mi-da-zo-lam
“Because I’m a paramedic, and I know my way around sedatives.” That brings me up short. I stop tripping around my living room, instead staring at him with a perplexed expression that causes him to stop as well. “What?” Hux asks, confusion in his voice. “Paramedic?” I repeat. “Like, an EMT? Like, rides in an ambulance, saving people?” “Uh, yeah?” He reaches up to pull the mask off of his face, dropping it to the coffee table a bit carelessly. “You got a problem with that?”
“You’ll know I marked you here, and that you’re mine. No matter who else fucks you, you’ll always be mine.”
“So good for me, you know that? Fuck, maybe God finally loves me for something, or I’ve pleased the devil enough for him to have sent you to me. You were made for me, weren’t you? Made to be fucked like I own you.”
It’s a text message all right, but it’s not from Mads or Em. It’s from Huxley. Fix your face, pretty girl. Or he’s going to realize you aren’t interested.
Murder isn’t sexy, I tell myself. And that’s all he’s offering here.
“I like you both ways, you know,” he adds casually, his other hand coming down to cradle my jaw. “I love it when you’re such a fighter. You’re just so fucking stubborn and it’s perfect. But I love this, too. This sweet side of you that just wants to be my good girl.”
“That’s where you belong. I miss your mouth, pretty girl. Come on. You can’t tell me you don’t miss my cock.”
“Don’t you fucking move,” he snarls in my ear. “I’ve realized I have to show you what I want, what you want, through more than just words. So you’re going to stay here, on your stomach with your hips arched up like a bunny in heat. You know that’s what you look like, right?” he taunts, nipping at my ear. “You look like an animal just begging to have her pussy filled with cum. You look like you’re begging to be bred, and you got unlucky that I’m what found you.”
“You’ll never have to look for someone to breed your pretty, greedy pussy ever again. You know why?” “Because—” “Because I’m going to fucking ruin every inch of you, inside and out, for anyone other than me.”
“You’re all mine, little bunny. No matter if I want to love you, devour you, or ruin you. You’re mine to do with as I please.”
