Kindle Notes & Highlights
life is a bitch. And what do you do with a bitch? You fuck it!
No one ever sees it coming—change. Doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad, it always creeps up on you when you least expect it. When it’s too late for you to stop it.
“You’re Brecken. You and your best friend, Case, own Seven Deadly Sins. People in this town fear you.” I can’t help but smile. “You buy and sell drugs and are so connected that even the cops are afraid of you.”
“Lift the gun, Skye, and point it at me,” I order softly. I can honestly say that’s the first time I’ve ever said that to a woman.
She looks like the type of woman I would like to break. One I would like to look down at while she kneels before me. It’s hard to be prideful when down on your knees.
Have you ever felt helpless? Have you ever felt like your life was being ripped from your hands and you were powerless to stop it? That’s what happened to the love of my life. Nicole—the woman I loved. The woman who made me want to be a better person. The woman who made me feel like all those fairy tales you’re told as a child really do exist.
They brought us to a place I’ve never been before, and a guy by the name of Luca locked my father away.
Luca from code of silence?
I guess when you spend your whole life unwanted, it’s hard to turn down the one who does want you.
“I wanna fuck you so hard that you can’t walk out on me,”
“You’re my toy, Skye. You’re my toy that I don’t wanna put down. You’re the toy that I want to use over and over again. I wanna fucking own you,” he growls as his hands grip my hair so tightly that my scalp stings. “Then own me,” I breathe. Yes, I want to be owned. He smiles against my neck. “Oh, baby, I already do.”
She may have dreamed she killed me, but I feel happy. She cried because she thought she had killed me. She was distraught. This woman in my bed feels something for me. And I know I’m starting to feel something for her.
She’s like a breath of fresh air in the middle of a downpour. Even when I feel like I can’t breathe, she breathes for me. When I feel like I can’t get through the pain, she is the high to make me forget. She is exactly what I need.
“His full name is Luca Christoph Petros.” I swallow nervously. “But you know him as Cricket.”
“Because I don’t wanna lose you, Skye.” My heart speeds up. “You make me crazy. I’m afraid, and you are fearless. I’m your knight, and you’re my demon. I want to protect you and all you do is run right into the fire.”
“I love you, Skye.” I quit breathing. “I love you, baby.” He softly smiles down at me as if he is relieved to say those words. “I love how you make me crazy. I love how you need me. And I love how I need you. I’m begging you to stay. I’m begging you to give me another chance. I may be a sinner, but you, you are my savior, Skye. I have lived a life of nothing but deceit and evilness. But baby, even evil knows love when it finds it.”
A woman who can love your darkness is a woman who knows just how consuming the dark can be. It can swallow you up, giving you no way of escape. But Skye, she’s my escape. She is my light. And she shines brighter than the sun.
