Savage Bonds (The Bonds That Tie, #2)

by J. Bree

he walks us over to another room and then lowers me carefully onto a bed, pulling up blankets and tucking them around me as he brushes his lips against my forehead.

Atlas grins at me, ignoring the presence of the others as though they’re all beneath him, and he lifts the blankets and tucks me back into the bed beside him. His arm comes up and around me as if I was made to be molded against him.

They both make some kind of noise in agreement, that total boy way of agreeing without actually saying they do,

“I feel like we’re at a wake, except it’s just our wills to live that are dead,”

this is the greatest gift anyone has ever given me.

The bar is in hell

I feel like him confirming that Nox has issues is like confirming the sky is blue or that the sun will rise in the morning. Obvious and sort of stupid to even say.

lol

Gabe opens my car door for me, he ducks down to kiss my cheek as I slide in.

I'm a sucker for cheek kisses

Say goodbye to Shore and tell him we’re never coming back because he’s a sadist.”

I find Kieran outside of the room and he curses under his breath at the sight of me. “Never a dull fucking minute with you around, is there?”

Gryphon had stood guard over me, watching my every move as though he thought I was going to hang myself from the shower if he turned his back, and when one of the maids knocked on the door with a small bag from the pharmacy, he’d answered it fully dressed and with a handgun pointed at her. It was a little extreme.

“One day. I would like one fucking day without having to run damage control. Tell all three of them to quit making my life harder and get back here

“Stop it, Nox. If you can’t shut your mouth, then leave,” North snaps.

Fuckin finally dude

North huffs at us both, like it’s incredibly insulting for the two of us to be protecting him like this,

“If you’re a Techno, you can manipulate it, right? You can stop it from blowing my brains out if I take it out… right?” “Blow your brains out?! What the fuck are you talking about?” Gabe shouts, and I glance up to see him looking very green. “That’s what they told me when they put it in. They said it would trigger a small explosion, just enough to kill me, if I tried to take it out.” “I’m going to fucking puke,” Gabe says, as he pushes away from the table, grabbing his phone out, probably to call North and chew him out.
