Kindle Notes & Highlights
If you hurt someone enough, they acclimatize to pain, but just like a wound, if you don’t seal it, you’ll bleed out.
“One day, when this asshole isn’t lurking around you like a hungry lion protecting his prey, I’m going to play some games with you.”
“Because your demons whispered all your secrets into my ear the day you dragged me through your hell, and let me tell you something, you are a monster, Nate. And a liar.”
“Why don’t you trust them?” “Because they’re bad people,” I answer instantly, not having to think too much about my answer because it’s truth. “Are they bad people, or are they just always given bad choices?”
“You think you have the power, but last I checked, I’m the one with the pussy.”
“You’re a pain in not just his ass, but mine too, but I don’t get to eat that ass, so this shit isn’t fair.”
Pain doesn’t define us, it shapes us. We come into this world as newborns, a fresh start. New life, a crisp soul. Then life happens, and every single choice you make has an implication. Every scar has a story, or it doesn’t and it’s just a scar, but whether or not it has a story, it’s still a scar, and that scar doesn’t define us, so why should pain?
“Because knowing you’re okay is worth the pain that having you in my arms causes.”
I release a little as she leans over and grabs it before taking her spot back on my lap. Where the fuck she belongs. This queen doesn’t need a throne, she just needs my dick to sit on.
“We’re all fucking crazy, Tillie, but it’s who we stay sane for that matters. You need to for you. Love is just an anchor. It can either be the reason you drown or the reason you float. You can’t ride on that to keep you sane.”
“You’re not a woman who can be owned. I knew that a long time ago. You may not belong to me, but you belong with me. And there ain’t shit you can do about it.”
“Little terror?” Brantley teases once the silence stretches out into awkward territory. “You will be the most protected woman, and that baby will be guarded by Hellhounds, I promise you. I fucking promise you.”
