Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Jesus, Roxy, what the fuck happened?” “That one called me a broad, that one broke the furniture, I didn’t like the other two’s faces.”
“I think I’m in love. Do you think she would shoot me if I ask?” “Probably, want to bet on it?” “Hell no, you cheat!”
“I think that’s everything. Let’s go before she wakes up and starts punching people again.” “Do you think she would?” he questions wistfully.
He casually told me he might kill me, and then the next second, he kissed me like I was air and he was a drowning man.
Fuck. Fuck on a stick.
“Bars don’t hurt you. Bars don’t betray you. I loved someone, so deeply, and he left.”
“Yeah, and how’s it feel to be a toy?” he snaps. I arch my eyebrow at that, leaning back as I sip my beer. “I dunno, how does it feel? You act like a walking, talking dick, so you must be a dildo.”
“Tut tut, behave, princess.”
Then, I can’t drag my eyes away from him. He needed this, I realise, to let some anger out. This isn’t a game or a way to gain information. He needed to fight like he needed to breathe. His body is finally relaxing, his shoulders rolling as he cracks his neck, and a nasty smile curls his lips. My pussy basically starts a Garrett fan club then, pom poms and all.
I’m not asking for marriage.” I grin, and he laughs. “Just a truce, if we can manage it. I’ll stop pushing you for a reaction, and you can stop trying to choke or kill me…okay, maybe the kill me part. Feel free to choke me any time, it’s pretty hot actually.”
Their words might be harsh and their touches mean, but only because I don’t think they know how to love any better than I do.
“You haven’t seen anything yet, Little Bird, you are mine now. I can’t decide if I want to go on a murder spree or fuck you.”
“I can’t walk, so carry me,” she demands. “Still ordering me around, princess?” I tease. “Still pretending it doesn’t work?”
Those who love us have the opportunity to hurt us the worst, and in my experience, they always do.
“I love you with all the broken, blood-stained pieces of me,”
“Roxy, I need you to listen for once and keep that pretty mouth of yours shut until I’m done. You’re the love of my life, darling. Someone I didn’t even know I was searching for all these years. But you’re here, and I love you more than words, which is why I’m giving you these keys. I know you can never love me the way I love you when you’re not free. I’m hoping, I’m fucking hoping, that even though you can leave, that you’re free, and I promise you are. We won’t chase you, we won’t hunt you. You are truly free…I’m hoping that you will still want to stay. With us. Love us, Roxy. I know I’m not

I thought him mad, he still is—fucking batshit. But he’s my batshit.
Love, love is enduring. Love is blind. Love is messy and so perfect, we search our entire lives for it, even when we think we aren’t.
Sometimes in life, you meet people worth dying for, and they are usually the same people who are also worth living for.
“Let’s go. We go in loud, don’t hold back, and remember what we are fighting for,” I snarl, as I snap the clip into place. “Oooh, I know this one! For my little bird!” Diesel grins. “Are you okay?” Garrett asks. “Not mentally, we all know that, but—” “Oh, I stabbed myself with some adrenaline. Let’s go!” he cries.
Every touch, every look is a balm into the soul of a girl who was never loved properly.
“Baby, when are you going to realise there isn’t anything we wouldn’t do for you?”
I can’t do it, I can’t kill him. Not because I still fear him or love him, but because he’s nothing. He’s pathetic, he’s a ghost, and killing him won’t bring my mother back or stop the nightmares.
“Be good, baby, shoot first and ask questions later.”
This city is yours, and so am I.”
