Kindle Notes & Highlights
Igor’s son, the husband I just willingly chose, is none other than the one who stabbed my heart then walked all over it. Kyle fucking Hunter.
When the hurricane hits him out of nowhere, he’ll understand why storms are named after women.
“Do you know why I’m a shadow, Princess? It’s because no one notices when I’m gone.”
I did notice when he was gone. I did more than notice. It ripped me apart from the inside out, and I’m still not sure if the wound will ever heal.
“I don’t need protection. People need protection from me.”
“Those who say women can’t go far in this world are afraid of what the likes of you can do. That’s why you have to be careful and smart, because your enemies are more than you can count or see.
She tastes like addiction and bad decisions, and yet I would still come back for a hit every day.
“Say you want every deranged fucking thing I do to you. Say you like being at my mercy when it’s only the two of us.”
“When I get inside you, I’ll make you scream with both pleasure and pain. In the meantime, I want you to walk with this dildo inside you and imagine it’s me.”
Rai belongs to me, and anyone who dares to challenge that fact will be shot dead in his fucking sleep. It’d be the easiest kill I would ever have to make.
Leaving this woman behind will probably be the hardest part of my mission once I’m done.
“Eye for an eye, Kyle. You know I believe in that. So next time you let a woman throw her arms around you, know I’ll find another man to throw my arms around. Fuck a woman and I’ll fuck two men—and a woman, if I’m in the mood.”
“Don’t attempt to play with my fire, Rai. The moment a man so much as looks at you, let alone touches you, I will slice his fucking throat and watch as life leaves his eyes so he knows in every last second that he shouldn’t have touched what’s mine.”
he used his body as a shield for mine. As in, he was ready to take the shot for me.
You belong to me.”
Rai Sokolov is the forbidden fruit I should’ve never tasted, because one single taste isn’t enough.
I will murder every last man who comes within a meter’s range of you. If you don’t believe me, try it. Just go ahead and fucking try it.”
Who cares about oxygen when I’m breathing her in as my favorite type of drug?
“You were always meant to be mine, Rai. Quit fucking fighting it.”
“I knew you would be the death of me, Princess.”
it doesn’t matter how much I hate what she stands for. I’ve never hated her. She’s the only one I’ve ever allowed this close.
The only one I ever gave a fuck about is you.”
“Because I want you close.”
“Why do you want me close?”
“Because at the moment when I thought it was the end, that’s the only thing I wanted.”
“If it weren’t for your fucking beauty, I wouldn’t want to rip out the heart of every bastard who looks in your direction.”
“Don’t talk to them, or flash them your smiles—those should only belong to me.”
I got used to your stubbornness and your take-no-nonsense attitude and how much you challenged me every step of the way. I missed waking up every day to find you at my door demanding that I teach you something. I missed how you looked out for everyone around you, even though you tried to make yourself as discreet as possible so they didn’t feel uncomfortable with it. “I missed how you treated your guards as family members and how you never made them feel inferior. But most of all, I missed your smile.” He grins. “As rare as it is.”
I will never leave. And if I do leave, you’re coming with me.”
I’m still taking her with me. I don’t care if she kills me as long as she’s by my side.
Fuck my heart. I will crush it and Kyle before anyone is able to harm my family.
