In Fury Lies Mischief (Midnight Mayhem, #2)

by Amo Jones

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.

“Pretty sure if I slip your panties to the side, your pussy would be drippin’.” He leans down to the side of my neck and sucks my flesh between his teeth. “And I bet the bitch is fucking screaming my name…” Did he just call my pussy a bitch?

“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.”

“The mistakes you make when you’re young are what help you grow as an adult, and how you deal with those mistakes as you get older, is what molds you into a woman.

“Yeah, babe, I am, I’m the fucking worst. But to beat the monsters, one must become one.”

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

To have an emotional trigger to a past event is giving your demons power to control you. To control what is going to set you off. It’s never going to be easy, but the first step we can do is work to take back that power.

Trust is the complication that delays love, it’s the bridge that joins two people together, so when that bridge burns down, it takes time to rebuild it, and that’s fine. You spend time rebuilding it, laying down the foundation again and putting all the time, blood, sweat, and tears into it, but here’s the thing. If you rebuild it, you better make sure the other is willing to cross it for you.

“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.”
