Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Mon amie, the stars and moon are already in motion.” She drops the card in her hand next to the other, my eyes following. “Your love will end tragically—he won’t save you.” I lift my gaze, words stuck in my throat as she looks deeply into my eyes. “But you will save him.” Chills explode over my body, eyes searching hers, almost feeling like I want to cry. Like I can feel the end of a story I’ve never read.
Just a good girl—only willing to get on her knees to pray. And the most dominant part of me wanted to make her dirty. What the fuck is it with men? We see something clean and want to run a smudge down the middle.
“How are you possible—real, even? This feels like life’s cruel joke. Like I only get you because tomorrow I’ll die or some shit like that.”
If I only get today, then I’ll take it because being without you feels like hell anyway.”
You’re like the sun—I want to soak you up for as long as possible so that I can feel you lingering on my body later.”
She tastes like the kind of temptation I’m never fucking coming back from.
She feeds the darkest parts of me. The possession, the selfish adoration I have for her. I’m falling for her, more and more with each breath she takes, and it feels like euphoric doom. A death I’d welcome.
“We don’t get forever, do we?” I breathe out onto his shoulder because it all suddenly feels impossible. His stubble scratches my cheek as his head moves. “I don’t know, but I know we get right now, and that’s what matters. Because if we only had today, it would be worth it.”
“If we only had tonight, would it all be worth it?” My heart begins racing in my chest. Because for the first time since we said that to each other, I don’t want to say yes. I don’t just want tonight. I want forever. My body shifts so I can wrap my arms around his neck, hugging him close to me. “Promise me you’ll ask me again tomorrow.”
