Kindle Notes & Highlights
Even so, women in general made me uncomfortable. Frightened women made me scared of myself.
“Your rodent is trying to kill me again.” “Freyja is not a rodent, Rory!”
“I really hope that’s you, Mariposita, or someone’s about to get a socket wrench up his ass.” “Damn. I really hope it’s me too, then.”
“But it’s so worth it to me. I feel so loved, so cherished. Seeing how Reaper looks at me, how Jandro holds me—I feel like I’m made of sunlight and I just want to give that kind of love back to them, so they can feel it too.” I want that.
"Gun, if you never heard of a threesome, I regret ever letting you into my fucking club," Reaper growled.
"I want to be with you, Mari," he said in a rush of breath. "I tried to fight it, but that only made me want you more. I love that you trust me when you're scared and I want to be someone that's there for you.
"Congrats on a successful delivery, baby girl. And if it wasn't obvious," he pressed his lips to my ear, "I'm all in. I'm yours and you're mine."
“Ten out of ten, would fuck on the dirty floor of a shooting range again.”

“Hades?” I repeated. “Hades, the dog?” “Part-time dog. Full-time lord of the underworld.”
A woman I barely knew now occupied more of my headspace than my best friend of several years. This worry was unsettling.
