Kindle Notes & Highlights
Do you want some Goldfish crackers? It had always meant one thing. You’re in danger. Hide.
Vincent crouched so he and Kellan were the same height. “Yes. I do. I have another little friend—his name is Ripley—who likes Spider-Man, so I watched all the movies and read all the comics.”
His fingers squeezed around mine gently, and he pulled me in a step, so we were all up in each other’s space. With his mouth at my ear, he whispered so softly I’d later think I imagined it. “Whoever did that to your face doesn’t deserve to breathe.”
“How about we make a deal, little dog? I’ll pick you up and get you some help, but you promise not to bite me. Blink if you agree to the terms of this arrangement.”
Vincent’s voice was barely a murmur when he spoke. “When I get off your hand, you’re going to take your cheap ring, get in your car, and then forget that Bliss ever existed. You say her name, I will end you. You think her name, I will hunt you down and put a bullet through your skull. You so much as accidentally drive past her on the street, and I will chase you down, gut you, and feed your intestines to my dog.”
It took him from hey, here’s a cute guy I work with. To holy fucking shit, throw me up against a wall and smack my ass.
“I dismissed myself from jail. Without permission.” I gaped at him. “You escaped? How is that even possible?” “Is it supposed to be hard?”
“From now on, if you’re in this club, this is where I want you. Right up on my cock like you own it.”
“War!” I yelped, struggling to get down. I’d break the man’s back. “Put me down, I’m too heavy.” “That’s real fucking insulting, baby girl.” He strode through the party with me in his arms, while some of the guys clapped for us. “You think I can’t carry your sweet ass to my bed?”
“One time, Bliss. You get tonight in the dark, because I can see I’ve probably already pushed you out of your comfort zone. After tonight, every time I fuck you, it’s gonna be with the lights on. Don’t deprive me of watching you.”
War’s palm smoothed over the sting, massaging it away. “I don’t ever want to hear you talk about yourself like you did just before. It’s insulting. To you, and to me for wanting your body the way it is.”
“Normally when I tell women to come, they’re naked in my bed and begging me to let them.”
