Kindle Notes & Highlights
No, I really fucking don’t. What I want is to put a gun to her father’s head and blow his brains out the way he’d done to mine, but for now, I find it in myself to smile. “Yeah, that’d be great. I don’t have another class yet.”
And I fucking like it, more than I can remember liking anything in a long time, maybe ever.
Did he think fucking that kid would make him forget about me? Because it wouldn’t. I won’t let him do that.
“I fucking want you, you asshole.” I smile. Six words work just as well as three.
“Good play, but if you want my mouth on your dick, you’ll be a good boy and be nice.” “You wouldn’t want me if I was good.”
“He kept Aislin safe. He cares about her. He’s fucking fierce. No goddamned fear of me or you.” He reads classics, and something tells me I could talk to him in ways I couldn’t with anyone else. That part I keep to myself.
“My little fighter likes to play games.” “And my little lord likes control.”
“You’re mine now until I say otherwise.” An argument doesn’t come, instead words that stab my father in the back. “Then you’re fucking mine too.”
I really do want to own him. To possess him. But the worst part is, I really want to give myself to him too.
I’ll kill his father. Then Tiernan will kill me. I want it to be him.
We both freeze because what in the hell just came out of my mouth?
“Revenge is sweet. But you don’t have to worry about that. If anyone hurts you, I’ll fucking kill them.” The vehemence in my words, in my tone, doesn’t surprise me. “Until I’m done with you, you don’t even have to worry about anyone looking at you wrong.”
but seeing him hurt feels like someone stuck a burning-hot fire poker through my chest—even if it is his fault.
He shouldn’t be here. Shouldn’t see the gun. Shouldn’t be so entwined with our lives, but he is, and I’ll kill anyone who tries to take him from me. He’s mine until I’m done with him.
Tiernan O’Shea is mine, and there’s no changing that.
“This is where I belong…with you…in you…filled with you…protecting you, partners with you.”
All I know is this is everything, and it won’t last. This is all the good I never thought I would have and shouldn’t find in him. This is where I was always meant to be.
I have no idea what that was, any of it. All I know is I never ever want it to stop.
And Tiernan. I’m unhealthy-levels obsessed with him. He’s in my mind all the fucking time, and
I don’t even care. Not anymore. Why care about something inevitable?
I don’t want to lose him. How in the fuck can I keep him?
I just…can’t help but need more from him. Nothing I have of him is enough, and I don’t think it ever will be. I want to consume him.
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to keep him, no one I wouldn’t fight for him. I would turn the world to rubble if Dean needed me to, and I’d enjoy every fucking second of it.
I’m yours, and that’s more important to me than anything else.”
“I can’t walk away from you,” he says so softly, I can barely make out the words. “Don’t. Please don’t. We’ll figure it out.” He nods against me, and for the first time since he kicked me out, I can breathe.
Equally, I know that family isn’t blood. It’s the people who show up for you, the people you love and care about.
Whatever the future holds, whatever happens, we’ll take the whole fucking world on together.
