Make Me Burn (Rich Demons of Darkwood #4)

by C.R. Jane

Cain stared at the ceiling like he was praying for patience. Except I wasn’t sure why he’d look up there to pray. We both knew his master was below him.

During the daylight, my confessions were kept under lock and key, but in the nighttime, I let them out. And I gave them to her. Because she was the only person who could understand that the scars we wear hidden under our skin are the worst ones. They’re the ones that do the most lasting damage, that dig into our souls and rip away at any good in us.

the heroes in those books don’t destroy the whole world to make the heroine happy. And that’s what I’ll do to make you happy. There isn’t a line I won’t cross, a law I won’t break, a human being I won’t destroy…in order to keep a smile on your face and prove what we have is the realest version of love that could exist. I’m going to make sure there isn’t a day that goes by, for the rest of our lives, that you don’t know you’re everything I’ve ever wanted out of life. That you’re all that exists for me. Without you...I’m nothing.”

“You’re smiling,” Remington noted, his own smile across his gorgeous face. He put a fresh drink in my hand. The words made me realize that it was true; these men made me happy even if they also made me crazy, and they’d put a smile across my face that was so intense my cheeks hurt.

But maybe you were just never meant to be normal.”
