Bad Boys Never Fall (St. Mary's, #2)

by S.J. Sylvis

Jesus. I wanted her forever. I saw nothing but her. I felt nothing but her. She was my goddamn kryptonite, which was exactly why I needed to let her go.

and I wanted to watch her come undone. I was drunk on her. A high I’d always be chasing.

“I think I might fucking love you, Gemma.” My heart stopped as my eyes shut, trying to push away the uncertainty of everything to come. “But I can’t.”

“I fucking love you, Gemma. So much that I would burn the world down for you.”

“I love you, and I will not stop trying to make the world a better place for someone like you.”

“Even when you’re far away from here, I’ll never stop looking for you.” His lips moved over my mouth. “I will find you, Gem.”

I said I would burn the world down for you, and I meant it.”

Gemma and I were destined to burn from the start, but it felt like I was the only one burning alive.

“If you cry, I’ll wipe your tears. If you have nightmares, I’ll wake you up. If you break down right here in front of me, I will piece you back together. I’m not leaving your side, and you aren’t leaving mine, either.”
