Kindle Notes & Highlights
Doesn’t she know anyone could just walk up and take advantage of her? She is mine. Ours, my demon reminds me.
“Because if you’re going to love me, I need you to love me with every single fiber of your being,” My head swivels and looks back on her. “I want someone’s full and unyielding attention. I want someone to look at me and only me. That way I know that person will never leave me.” “That’s not love, Lyra. That’s an obsession. Love is forgiving and always evolving. There’s room to grow and change where there’s love. But with obsession, it can only go one way. Obsession will consume you in a way that you can’t come back from.” “Then I want obsession.”
“I just need to find someone that will obsess over me the way I obsess over them.” “Do you think that’s really what’s healthy, though, Lyra? Is obsession healthier than love?” I look over at her and muster a smile that I know doesn’t reach my eyes. “That’s all I have to offer.”
Desire pulses through my entire body like I’ve been struck by lightning. There’s something so erotic about what I think he’s done for me. The possessive tone of his voice causes gooseflesh to break out across my entire body.
“As far as I’m concerned,” he says against my ear, “there was no one before me, and there will be no one after me.”
I would crawl inside of him if I could. I would drape his skin around me like a blanket, bathe in his sweat, and wear his scent like perfume. I am utterly and wholly his.
I will give her whatever she wants. If she loves my monster, I can love her angel.
There’s nowhere safer for me than the arms of my serial killer.
