Kindle Notes & Highlights
To morally gray book boyfriends. Thank you for raising our standards from “oh, flowers and chocolates are nice” to “bring me the heads of my enemies.”
She groans unintelligibly, and I smooth my hand down her back. “I know,” I murmur to her. “I know, baby girl. Come here.”
“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.”
“You’re not broken. You’re a fucking warrior, through and through. You hear me, goddammit? You’re strong enough to survive this.”
“There you go,” Knox breathes, and he sounds wound tight, like he needs this as much as I do. “You’re doing so fucking well, taking our cocks like you were made for them. We’ll go easy on you, baby. Don’t worry.”
There’s a word written there, the raised, swollen cuts stark against the rest of my skin. Ours.
Whatever Gage sees now, it must be enough. He nods, dragging his fingertips down the line of my jaw. “I told you, baby girl. We can’t let you go.”
“Wow. That’s very Zen of you,” I tease. “You’re like a psychotic, murderous Winnie the Pooh.” Knox grins wider, and his eyes flash with heat. “So what I’m hearing is that you want me to walk around with no pants on. That can be arranged.”
Let the whole fucking world know. River is ours. Ours to protect. Ours to worship. Our fucking queen.
“I knew from the first minute I met you that you were as crazy as I am,” I tell her. “I fucking like that.”
