“What do you want in return?” “To take your place in the election.”
It’s not so much the votes I’m interested in—it’s the
look on Cain’s face when he sees I’m his new opponent.
If there’s one thing I know about Cain…it’s that he craves all the things he shouldn’t. He’s tempted by the forbidden.
I want Cain so drunk off lust he can’t see or think straight.
I want to take everything from him and then bring him to his knees…both figuratively and literally.
And then, when he’s at my mercy—I want to destroy everything he ever cared about. Ev...

Looking every bit the gorgeous tragedy she is. The one I created.
The heart wants what it wants. Even when it’s broken.
Loving someone isn’t dangerous. Falling in love with the wrong someone is.
“You’re not capable of loving me the way I love you. You’re not capable of choosing me…you never will be. Even though I choose you with every single breath I take.”
“If you weren’t my stepdaughter. If you weren’t so young—if things were different—I’d choose you. In any other lifetime but this one, I’d choose you and never look back.”
“No matter the obstacles—I still choose you. In this lifetime…in any
lifetime, I’ll always ch...

“No man in their right mind would let you out of their sight.”
“Not because you’re attractive or irresistible. But because a man in love doesn’t leave the object of his affection alone at a party. He also doesn’t keep her locked away like a dirty secret while he fucks other women and marries them.”
Because you can only be tethered to someone for so long before the cord begins to strangle you.
Because that’s all evil really is. It’s not the boogeyman or the monster under the bed. It’s not demons or hellfire.
Evil is merely the absence of good.
Eden belongs to me…whether she likes it or not.
“Look up at the stars and hold your breath.” “Why?” “Because this is going to hurt.” “What's—” “Taking what's his,”
“God isn’t the one eating this little cunt until it creams all over his face,” he growls low and deep. “I am.”
Eden. Damien. Eden. Damien. It’s the equivalent of stepping on a landmine.
“This isn’t over,”
“Not by a long shot.”
“But don’t
worry. I’ll take good car...

There’s an inimitable energy between us. A current flowing from him into me—connecting
connecting me to a man I don’t know. A man who’s given me every reason to fear him. It’s the strangest thing I’ve ever felt.
“The only reason you think you can’t is because you’ve convinced yourself you can’t.
“Last night—” “Was for him,” he seethes. “But you’re not Cain’s anymore. You’re mine.”
“I’ll call the police,”
“That’s a good idea.”
“You obviously don’t have what it takes to protect her. Otherwise I wouldn’t ha...

“It’s not the same and you know it. Even my therapist—” “Your shrink is a quack who deserves to have his license revoked and shoved up his ass.”
“I need you to try.”
“You have to try to conquer this. Not for me and not for Cain, but for you.”
“You can do this, Eden. But you won’t know unless you try. You have to want it.”
“Swear you won’t leave me in that room all alone? Because I don’t think I can handle—” “I won’t leave your side unless you want me to.”
Love isn’t powerful because it builds and restores. It’s powerful because it survives destruction.
“It’s opal.” “I know. It’s—” “Your birthstone.”
“Someone once told me opal was good luck for those born in October. Helps ward off evil spirits or some shit.”
“As of this moment, you’re officially my fiancée.”
“Stop staring at the floor,” Damien hisses in my ear. “Hold your head high and make every last one of these motherfuckers eat shit.”
“There’s not a person here who would dare to disrespect you. Not in my presence.”
“And if by chance someone is stupid enough to test that theory, I’ll shove my cock down their throat and make them choke on it.”
Damien is out of his mind, but there’s something strangely appealing about his no fucks given attitude.
Because I understood. When someone strips you of your dignity—when they take away your power and control... When they hurt you so much you no longer register pain.
You’ll do anything to get your humanity back. Including destroying others…through whatever means necessary.
