Kindle Notes & Highlights
His care was all about raising me to be his equal because there I was strong enough to give him what he ultimately wanted.
He shattered me but held me together in equal measures. My nemesis and saviour.
“I can do that. I will do that. And I’ll do it because of you. Because of you, I’m strong enough to endure whatever comes next.”
He stole every thought. Pop. He massacred every argument. Dead.
He had a soul. And it was a vibrant, throbbing thing visible, not just in his eyes, but in every nuance, kiss, and motion.
“I won’t have sex with you again because I could lose myself in you. I would become utterly, terribly addicted. Once I’d had you—fully had you where you wanted me as much as I wanted you—I’d never be able to stop. I’d fuck you every hour of every day. I’d forget to eat, sleep, breathe. All I would need is you. All I would want is you. And that sort of obsession is not healthy—for either of us.”
He was stunning when unhurt. But he was drool-worthy slightly beaten up.
He was a walking poster for alpha authority, and it did the strangest things to my insides.
“I’ll tell you why you make me weak, Pim. You make me so fucking hard I can’t think straight. You crawl inside my mind when you have no right to do so. You intrigue me, confuse me, and make me contradict everything I know and believe. You corrupt me.”
He’d kissed me awake like Sleeping Beauty and removed the poisoned apple from my soul like Snow White. He was my happily ever after.
She was girl and witch and wife— Fuck.
This girl was too dangerous. This girl was hell itself.
He was gravity. He was the moon, and I was the ocean, and together we couldn’t look away for a moment.
“A soul is priceless and could never have a monetary sum attached. Net worth might make a difference in this life, but when we die, we’re all worth the same.”
“We’re worth the weight of what we leave behind. The people we’ve touched. The lives we’ve shared. The knowledge we’ve gathered and traded. Physically, we’re worth the dust our corpses turn into, but spiritually, we’re rich forever.”
“Believe me when I say this. You are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.”
His voice was my anchor. His body my staircase. His presence my shield.
His smile was Hades itself.
“I never want you to doubt how wonderful you are again. You’re everything and more. You’re more than I can bear. You have the power to hurt me worse than I can stand. Don’t you see that? You’re blind if you don’t.”
Game on, motherfuckers.
She might have just stolen a book, but to me…to me, she’d just stolen my heart.
I’d had sex with this man and remained unbroken. I’d lived with this man and remained unhurt. I’d fought with this man and remained unbruised. And now, I hugged this man and found a new home.
“Fucking forget what I said. When you stare at it that way, you make me goddamn insane.”
He didn’t speak letters, he spoke weapons, and they cleaved and shot me into pieces.
“You got inside my heart before you got inside my head, and it’s tearing me fucking apart!”
