Kindle Notes & Highlights
He parked his elbows on the edge of my open window, shoving half his body inside and ignoring my personal space, not unlike an eager Labrador.
The best thing about the day, other than not spending it with Sailor Goddamn Brennan, was that I got to wear a Brioni suit. Wearing suits was my favorite. I didn’t even pretend to need an occasion. I went to parties, the movies, and restaurants looking like Jay Gatsby.
finally understood the phrase stupid hot. Hunter’s hotness made me stupid.
grabbed her wrists, bunching them together and pinning them above her head. She winced at the full motion of her shoulder. I wanted to punch myself for forgetting, but honestly, I wasn’t even sure of my birthdate at the moment. “Just so we’re clear, you may be my babysitter, but you don’t call the shots. You do not boss me around, you do not make stupid-ass decisions with your body. Finally, you do not fucking hunt me. I’m the hunter here, sweetheart. And you? The goddamn prey.”
The need to tame her made my blood boil. I wanted to fight her to the ground and devour her, ending her and ending me.
“I’m going to have you, prey. One way or the other. Our little deals are just a way for you to give yourself excuses for letting me into your panties. Do the smart thing, and get something out of it, too. Yes or no?” I looked up at him: a beautiful, unexpected curse, sweet poison dripping from petals onto my tongue.

But I hadn’t realized it until you walked away, and for the first time in my life, I couldn’t eat, sleep, or breathe. I see you, aingeal dian, even when you’re trying to hide. Especially when you are trying to hide. I cannot unsee you.
“Say yes,” he breathed into my mouth. “Say you’ll never leave.” “Never,” I murmured. “I love you so much, Hunter. It terrifies me how far I’ll go to save you.” “However far that is, know I’ll go even farther for you.”
