Kindle Notes & Highlights
She wants to date, to fall in love, become a wife, and a mother.
I learned at a young age that pain on the outside hurts far less than it does on the inside.
Who am I to take her chance of happiness away from her? Who am I to ruin a life that she’s fought so hard to repair? I’m nobody to her, and she will never know that for so long she’s been the entire world for me.
I’m losing hope. I’m going to die an old spinster
For most people in this city, the night’s only just getting started, and here I am… poor, weak little Eloise, home before ten and feeling sorry for herself. I laugh at how pathetic I am, and before the laughter can turn to tears, I get up and head for the kitchen.
It’s okay to be scared. It is not okay to let fear consume you and keep you from getting the things you want from life.
Eloise Meadows may not be mine, but she’s always been mine to protect, and that’s exactly what I’m doing.
“You're a very bad girl, Eloise Meadows,” I whisper before leaning down and pressing a kiss on her forehead.
I tuck her in nice and safe. Keeping the ice held against her head, I continue to watch her up close. I count her breaths, and I stroke her soft, delicate skin. Then, for the rest of the night, I watch her and pretend that she’s mine.
“What's your name?”
“That doesn't matter.”
“It matters to me,”
“I’m your worst fucking nightmare.”
“The key part of all this, Katelyn, is that I wasn’t scared. I was intrigued, maybe even a little excited.”
“You date a cop five times, he takes you to the best restaurants in town, and you get excited by the half-naked creep who pulled you out of an alley.”
“What can I say, I’m com...

This is dangerous territory. All this girl wants is a normal life and I am anything but fucking normal.
I warned her. I told her I was her worst fucking nightmare. I know this girl, she doesn’t take risks…What is she doing?
“Come on, if it makes you feel more comfortable, I’ll let you...

Eloise Meadows is scared of her own shadow.
Watching her for this long has shown me that despite what the world has done to Eloise, she’s still able to appreciate the good in it. She finds the good in everything around her. I’m starting to believe that she could see the good in me, too, and that’s foolish. How could I ever expect a girl like her to understand a person like me? She spends every day of her life fighting her way out of the darkness, while I fester in it.
I rest my shoulder against the window wall and smile at the thought of her going through all that effort for me. I like that she’s aware of me now far too much, and suddenly, I start to feel a whole lot of pressure. I don’t know if what she has planned tonight counts as a date. I’ve never been on one before.
She’s Heaven. I’m Hell.
Being with her didn’t feel wrong. It felt like salvation.
I have no idea why my body reacts so differently toward this nameless stranger, but I owe it to myself to explore it. I should be nervous, not excited.
Instinct tells me that he would never hurt me, and I’ve learned that my instinct is the only thing I can trust.
his fingers tense and start to squeeze my throat, but I still don’t flinch. I like how it feels, I like being at his mercy. What I’m getting here isn’t fear, it's thrill, like riding a rollercoaster.
Her stomach is toned and flat from all the yoga she does at the weekends, and like so many times before, I imagine how it would look round and swollen. Eloise looks so pretty with my child growing inside her. I know this because I’ve drawn it a thousand times. I can’t even imagine how satisfying it would be to possess and own her body in that way. To watch it flourish as it carries something the two of us made together.
“You ever come before?”
“Come for me now, come on these fingers so I can taste it.”
“That’s right, clench me real tight, You're gonna need to be wetter than this if you're gonna take my cock.”
“I’m going to make this cunt so sore you won’t be able ...

“Come on, pretty girl, let's make a mess of these panties.”
“That’s right, you’re so fucking close, let it go. Give it up.”
“That’s really going to hurt, isn’t it?”
“Just stay relaxed, spread your thighs as wide as you can.”
“It’s big,”
“I like the way it feels in my hand.”
She’s clung on to her purity for so long, and now that she’s decided I’m the person she wants to give it to, I owe it to her to make it special.
“This pussy is mine now, you’re mine, Eloise. No one will ever fucking hurt you again. Do you understand?” I don’t care if I’m coming on too strong, I’m just letting the girl know how it is, because there's no going back from this now.
“You okay?”
“It hurts a little,”
she admits. So I take her thigh and wrap it around my hip, finding a new angle inside her.
“But it’s a good kind...

“Tell me what you're thinking.”
I stare at her, cradling her jaw and stroking her bottom lip with my thumb while I thrust inside her. I don’t just want to be inside her pussy, I want to be in her head, too.
