Kindle Notes & Highlights
“They’re supposed to be different steps, right? Falling in love and being in love? I thought you fell for a long while before you loved, but that’s bullshit, isn’t it?” I snapped my eyes open to stare at blackness, flattening my shaking hands against the door. “Why do they even call it falling when it’s jumping? It’s jumping from one death-defying stunt to the next and just praying you land on your feet.”
“Sometimes I fall in love with you when I’m just thinking about you. Sometimes you’re standing right next to me when it happens.”
“Now it’s my turn to have fun, Ms. Sanders.” Except ‘fun’ sounded a hell of a lot like ‘payback is gonna be a kinky bitch.’ “Are you gonna be mean to me?” I asked, tracking my eyes over his sculpted face. “Extremely.” “Are you gonna let me come?” He held his answer back like he was really, truly considering it. “Eventually.”
“What if I’m asking you to though?” I leaned in, flattening my tits to his hard chest. He rumbled against me, the dangerous noise running down to my core. “What if I need it to distract me? What if I need you to fuck me until the pain turns into pleasure, Mr. Reed?”
And this bugs me soooo much. He already said no, and it annoys me that she’s going to keep trying and convince him to say yes instead of respecting his choice.
“It’s because we’re made of darkness that we’re able to see the little bit of light in each other.”
