Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You’re fucking wrong if you think that. You’re not ruined. You’re strong as hell. You’re a queen, with four men who would all get on our knees for you. We wouldn’t want you so damn bad if you weren’t steel all the way through, baby girl. You’re not. Fucking. Ruined.”
“Please come back to me, baby,” I whisper roughly. “Don’t do this. Don’t let the darkness take you. You’re stronger than this, I know it. Please. Come back to us. We fucking need you.”
It’s like I can feel Gage’s soul calling out to mine, drawing me back from the cold and the dark and trying to lead me home.
“The way you’re taking him. How open you are. You’re so fucking good for letting him in like this. There’s never been anyone as perfect for us as you.”
“Wow. That’s very Zen of you,” I tease. “You’re like a psychotic, murderous Winnie the Pooh.”
These brutal, dangerous men, who want so badly to protect me. To keep me whole when the world keeps trying to shatter me into a million jagged pieces.
Let the whole fucking world know. River is ours. Ours to protect. Ours to worship. Our fucking queen.
Then I look over at River, standing just a little ways away from me. I look at her blue eyes, shining in the firelight, and I have to admit I was wrong. That’s the most beautiful, wild thing there is.
“Why Harley though?” “You and Knox had that whole argument on the drive back about whether Harley Quinn or The Joker was a better name for the dog, so… I sided with you.”
“What’s wrong with a few puppy kisses?” I ask innocently. “He’s a dog. He licks his own ass and eats out of the trash can.” I roll my eyes at his indignation about it. “You’ve literally licked Ash’s cum out of my pussy, and a dog licking my face grosses you out?”
They’ve done a lot of shit, but compared to Julian and the other scum in this fucking city, they’re practically saints. Or at least, they’re my kind of monsters.
For all the innocent people who suffer in the name of powerful men gaining more power. It’s worth it.
All I can feel is her.
“You look like a damn sex goddess,”
