Kindle Notes & Highlights
To the kid in primary school who threw a moldy lemon at me and laughed at my imaginary friends. Look who’s laughing now, asshole! Me and my imaginary friends are making lemonade. De-fucking-licious.
"The last thing I need is my Wolves thinking I've become your bitch." Cass scoffed as he kicked over the engine and rolled us out of the parking lot. "No one would ever think that, trust me."
"Fuck you're beautiful," he mumbled. "I thought for a second I had died when you appeared in that room. You looked just like an avenging angel."
The audacity of some men was astounding.
"I know how you like your bread buttered, boss."
"You're my favorite aunt in the whole world, Demi," I replied with a grin. She huffed again. "I'm your only fucking aunt, you brat. You killed the other ones."
"If you two are both quite finished pissing on me like a tree, I have someone waiting to be tortured in the basement."
What was it with men enjoying hurting themselves?
Lucas grinned. "You should ask him about it some time. I bet he'd like to tell you all about his glory days. Isn't that what old dudes like to do?" I groaned but couldn't fight my answering smile at his teasing. "Say that to his face, Gumdrop, I fucking dare you." "Aw come on, not you too! Fucking worst nickname on the planet." He pouted and slouched back in his seat as I laughed silently.
"I figure I have a moral responsibility to act more like an adult than Zed, if only to show him up when he's being a jealous fucknut."
Fists clenched at his sides, he took two steps closer. "I said, no. No, I will not sit down. Not about this. I'm not goddamn overstepping, Dare, because I fucking love you. Okay? I love you."
"I know," I replied softly. "I love you too. You're my best—" He cut me off with a sharp laugh of disbelief. "No, you dense bitch. I love you." And then, because clearly I'd missed the emphasis he was placing on that statement, he grabbed me by the front of my shirt and crashed his lips down on mine.
"Hey, what's with the note?" he asked Zed, frowning at a scrap of paper in his hand, then reading aloud, "Gone out with H. Do your homework like a good Gumdrop. Boss man." I snorted a laugh. "That's cute," I told Zed with a wide grin. "You think you're the boss around here."
"Oh my god!" she shrieked. "You're totally fucking all three of them! Ugh, Dare, did I ever tell you you're my idol?
I loved a bad boy, and Lucas was quickly losing his angelic shine. Every day he spent with me, with Zed and Cass and the Timberwolves, his halo was becoming perfectly tarnished. Perfect for Hades.

"I can't ignore the way I feel about you, and in case you missed the point here, let me spell it out. I don't love you. I'm in love with you. No amount of hard-headed denial will change that. Neither will the added complications in the kitchen right now."
"The next time I hear you moaning and panting while you ride some other guy's dick?" He leaned in closer, his face right beside mine as he whispered his threat... or promise. "I'll have to come in and join you." He moved away again and shot me a knowing wink. "Food for thought... friend."
"You look like you're dressed for murder tonight, boss,"
"Thank fuck." Then he grabbed my braid and crushed his lips to mine for one of the hottest goddamn kisses of my life. "Don't test me like that again, Dare. I won't hold back next time."
"He told me not to ride dick," I murmured, unbuckling his belt and palming his hot, hard dick. "Never said anything about choking on it."
"I won't lose her to you, Zed. She already loves you and has since before I met her, so there's nothing to be insecure about. Hayden has room in her heart for both of us and for the grumpy old man snoring upstairs. Either get on board or get out, but I'm locked in for the whole damn ride."
He really was my lighthouse in the raging storm of my bloody, violent, fucked up life.
I didn't think it was possible, but somehow I fell even harder for Cass in that moment.
