In Fury Lies Mischief (Midnight Mayhem, #2)

by Amo Jones

I’ve always loved my girls a little fucking damaged, that way when I inflict more pain on them, they’d be used to it. They’re the only ones who can handle me. I was built for war, not for love. I don’t want to break people. I want them already broken. I don’t want to feel that way, but I can’t help it.

Beauty only neutralizes the evil in a person. It blinds people with its surface to conceal the darkness that swims beneath it.

You can’t treat everyone the same because not everyone deserves all of you.

“Don’t mistake those sinfully good looks for a good man, Showstopper. The glistening teeth that sit behind that grin are the very same that rips flesh from bone…”

Love is not guaranteed, and the hardest thing the human heart will withstand is dealing with the loss of someone who is still alive.

There are too many people who would rather torment you with your weakness, than acknowledge you for your triumphs.

“If you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, then you better use that weight as the material in which you build your life with.”

It was the photo he snapped in Mayhem. The very one of me flipping off the camera and wearing his bandana. He captioned it Tell her she’s pretty or I’ll kill you.

“You can’t actually, because Saskia isn’t someone who lets anyone in. She has walls so high that no motherfucker can climb.” “You did.” King glares at me. I grin. “I didn’t actually, I just tore the fuckers down.” There’s not one fucking person walking this earth that is as close to her as me—and that’s including Kenan.

“People are only lost because they don’t have anyone willing to find them.”

“Fucking be selfish, baby. Take me. Hell, just tell me where the fuck to go and I’ll follow willingly. You don’t have to be selfish with anything else, Saskia, but you will always be selfish with me.”

“I’ll fucking wait for you for as long as I need to, because time doesn’t tick unless you’re in my arms.”
