Kindle Notes & Highlights
"I never picked you for a sub, Hades. You legitimately ooze big dick energy worse than any gangster I've met. I can't imagine you giving up control in any situation."

"You gonna shoot me, Red? Do it." Fuck. Fuck. He tugged harder on my hair, lowering his head until his lips hovered a breath away from mine, and my index finger stroked the trigger of my gun. "Shoot me if you want," he rumbled, "but I'm going to kiss you anyway."

The path back into my good graces was going to be paved with broken glass and jagged rocks.
