Savage Bonds (The Bonds That Tie, #2)

by J. Bree

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

I pout.

Same.

He touches you, he dies.

North scowls at me, staring at me like I’ve just announced that I’m secretly a clown on the side,

I’ve never been so turned on in my life.

“Don’t call him a nightmare. He’s adorable and I would kill for him.”

I’m more of a skilled amateur who gets shit done through sheer force of will. It works.

in times of danger we’re nothing but instinct and a very animalistic need to fight.

the wave of shame that hits me is— well, I consider slitting my wrists in the bathtub so I don’t have to face anyone this morning. Okay, that’s a little dramatic but, fuck,

“If you burn, I burn with you.

“She doesn’t answer to me but you don’t get to speak for her either.

YASSSSSSSS.

We’re really getting good at hurting each other, aren’t we?

Down girl.

“Don’t say reamed to me right now,” I mumble

Fucking men, I want to murder him and bathe in his innards.

“What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck is happening right now?”

“You’re in so far over your head, she’s going to eat you all alive and I’m going to enjoy the show.”

Right. Put on the facade of a perfectly obedient, placid, boring girl.

I take a breath and remind my bond that men ain’t shit.

Oli. I know you didn’t choose to tell me, but I’m not going to let you down. We’ll figure it out, together.

There is nothing quite like the sight of a man in formal clothes with weapons strapped all over him.

“The perfect man will wait. The perfect man won’t do something that would hurt you, no matter how badly they want

We were made from the same dying star, put on this earth to search one another out and bind ourselves to one another for all of eternity.

I’m absolutely, without a doubt, objectifying them both in my head right now

Don’t be dense, it doesn’t suit you.”

“I don’t think I need to cower behind you, Kieran. I think you should really be behind me.”
