Kindle Notes & Highlights
I may have loved him from the moment I saw him, but he clearly did not feel the same.
Insta-lust more like it.
“A man without respect for the law is not a man without respect for anything. All that intensity, that devotion, is channeled toward other things, mostly their people—the brotherhood, family, their women. You can’t experience anything like it until you’ve had it.”
my heart had longed for such romance for a very long time and here was an opportunity to literally ride off into the night with a handsome stranger.
He was part of The Fallen MC, the criminal gang that had cornered the market on the marijuana trade not only in Vancouver, but throughout the entire province and most of western North America.
his head and laugh that laugh I had fallen in love with in the parking lot, that laugh that had been the final catalyst in my marriage. I barely knew the man, who he worked for, what he believed in, what he desired, and yet he had already irrevocably changed my life.
My life and my studies had taught me that nothing good came from the unpredictable and I truly believed that even though I’d left William for a more exciting existence, dating someone like King would only destroy me.
I tried to tell myself that I didn’t care about that, but I did. Even though they didn’t make me happy, they had been my entire life and I wasn’t ready to irrevocably emancipate myself from them yet.
You have a backbone enough to say no to King but you can’t say no to your family or your ex.
“I got a lotta sweet to give if you promise to look at me like that every time I give it.” “Look at you like what?” “Like I’m worth somethin’ special. Don’t get that much and babe, I gotta tell you, it makes me feel like I’m king of my own fuckin’ castle.”
“I’m gonna show you how to live, if you let me in to do it.”
“Satan didn’t believe in obeying The Man and you think he’s a babe. Didn’t think you’d mind,” he had the audacity to say.
He was the one who had seduced a grown woman while he was underage.
“Are you freaking kidding me right now? You lied to me, you led me on, and you’ve humiliated me. I could lose my job for this, King. I have no money to my name. I need this job.”
Stop complaining you have no money, we get it.
“Didn’t seem fair the next time I saw you, you were my goddamn teacher. I knew if I just had a chance to get to you, you’d be mine. Knew it then and know it now even more. You’re mine, Cress.”
After years of pining for my dream man, I’d found him. A tall, golden blond Adonis, cool in the way only true rebels can be, kind in the way I’d never known a man could be, totally into me, and completely off-limits.
“Want to take you right here, right now. Spread these thighs and bury my face in your pussy, see if you taste as sweet as you look. I wanna eat you until I’ve had my fill, and Cress babe, I’m a growing fuckin’ boy so I’m starvin’.”
“Never met a woman like you. Know I won’t again. You find somethin’ worth keepin’, you find a way to fuckin’ keep it. Not gonna stop, and just so you know, I got it that this could get you fired, that this could cause you embarrassment, but what I got to say to that is this: whatever pain and ugliness I bring you by bein’ with you, I promise I’ll bring you double that in sweetness and beauty. You hear me on that, because I may be a man without a normal moral compass, but I’m a man who makes a woman a promise, and I’ll die before I break it.”
Some of you may die, but that’s a risk im willing to take
“It only came out a few months ago, and I don’t have much time to read for pleasure now that I’m trying to make ends meet.”
