you’re in survival mode, still fighting, living day to day, but that’s no way to live. I’ll stop running if you stop fighting.”
I never needed a knight. I needed a body to stand with me in the dark, and these snakes? They do.
“I want to carve up your skin, watch the blood drip as I pound into you.”
“I think I’ll kill him first, then, with his blood still on my hands, I’ll rip this dress from your body and fuck you, leaving handprints across this perfect pale skin.”
“Next time, I’ll make you watch. I’ll fuck you with the blade to your throat as they die in front of us.”
“You don’t get to come yet. You’re going to ride that edge, again and again, until it’s so painful for you that you beg to come.”
She sets me alight, while they didn’t even cause a spark.
“Little Bird, Little Bird, I knew you would be the one. You will never escape us now, you are mine. Forever. Bound tighter than any ring or marriage ever could. You try to leave, and I will hunt you down.”
“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.”
“My little bird, right over my heart.”
“I’m going to fuck you, darling. Better scream loudly so they can hear you, and you can really shock these old, rich bastards.” He smirks as he steps closer. “You shouldn’t tease me, darling.”
Yeah, this guy is dead. I watch the stupid fuck who still looks like he might take Diesel on.
“That whore” —he spits the word— “tried to save you. Remember that when you’re in your coffin.”
Yeah, I would be punished all night… On second thought…I should go back and get arrested.
“I’m your worst nightmare, Ryder Viper, something you never saw coming. Something you can’t control.”
she’s also the best thing to happen to us. She’s filled with such life, such capability for laughter and joy. She brings out the best in us and accepts the worst. Could I love her?
So what will I do for her? Everything.
It comes to me easily. I would do anything. Everything. I would burn this whole fucking city to the ground and find her in the cinders. I would kill, I would steal, I would lie. But what about letting her go? Can I do that?
To everyone else, we are the villains, we are the evil in this city. Men immersed in power and money. We are the ones they fear, whom they hide away from. Yet she doesn’t, she basks in it. What if I...

She set me free from my demons without even trying. Never has this home had such laughter or happiness. It echoes around these silent, miserable walls, filling it with life. Filling it with her.
A goodbye, because I know now. I have to let her go. Even if she doesn’t come back to us.
Roxxane was never meant to be locked away. She is meant to be free, wild, and uncontrolled.
If she chooses this life, I could accept it, but she didn’t, she had no choice, and I have to give her that. Even if it ruins my family. Even if it means the end of the Vipers. I have to let her go.
“Fucking gun it, Little Bird, life is too short to go slow.”
“I love you with all the broken, blood-stained pieces of me,”
You’re our heart, Rox, our living, beating heart. The piece we were missing from our family. You turned our world upside down. We aren’t good men, we aren’t soft or loving, we are hard and our hands are stained with blood. But I swear, I swear if you stay, you will never want for anything, and no one will ever hurt you again…well, apart from us.”
It’s broken, damaged, and dark like the rest of us, but it’s yours. Along with my gun and my loyalty. Forever. Stay, darling, please stay.”
“I will follow you always. I’ll hunt you across this world. Even if you hate me, us, for it. I will drag you back kicking and screaming. Hit me, slap me, fight me. I don’t care, the pain is worth it to have you with me, darling. I love you too much to let you go. I’m too fucking selfish to let the best thing to ever happen to us walk away. You’re ours.”
“You thought I would let you leave? I told you, you’re mine, they would have to kill me to stop me from coming after you.”
“Diesel, remind Roxxane whom she belongs to.”
“You will watch us fuck you and fill you with our cum. Every goddamn time you try to get away from us, we’ll remind you exactly whom you belong to. This body?” He groans. “Is ours. This pussy? Ours. Never fucking forget that.”
thighs that tells me he came. He licks my neck again. “We are nowhere near done. When the sun comes up, you won’t even be able to walk after what we have planned for you. For daring to leave. We are Vipers, love. We bite, and we never stop hunting.”
“Ours,” he snaps. “I’ll have you however I fucking want, Little Bird. It will hurt, and you will love it all.”
“I love you, Little Bird. You’re the gasoline to my fire. I never would have let you go, and the others wouldn’t have either.
“Little Bird, Little Bird, would you die for us?”
“Would I need to?”
“I would die for you.”
if you’re good, when I get back, I’ll spend all night between your thighs eating your fucking pussy like a starving man.”
I will come for her, always. I will save her, and then I will damn her, making her mine forever. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since I found out she was gone, it’s that I can’t live without her. Not anymore.
I’ve been flirting with death since I was a kid, and dying for the people you love seems like a good way to go.
Sometimes in life, you meet people worth dying for, and they are usually the same people who are also worth living for. But you can’t always have both. If all I can offer them now is my silence and death, I’ll do it.
“I love you so fucking much, Little Bird, you are my everything. I would kill anyone for you. I would do anything for you. I would crawl on my fucking knees to be at your side.”
Diesel disappears for a whole day, but when he comes back, he vows never to leave my side again. And then he gives me a hand. In a box. Honestly…it’s romantic as fuck. Turns out it was the mohawk—Andrew—guy’s hand. What a softie.
You wrapped me—us, around your fingers so easily. I would do anything for you, love, be anything you needed, and that terrified me because that same power, those same demons who made my dad him are in me, and you have to deal with them all. Because I can’t let you go, not ever.”
So you have demons? Baby, they match mine.
You’re the best thing I ever stole, and I plan on showing you that for the rest of our lives, until you get bored with us and try to kill us.”
Ryder offered money to the widow. Garrett offered to hurt someone. Diesel offered to kill someone. They all look flabbergasted when it didn’t work.
