Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Being on your knees is highly recommended indeed. Now, should we begin?”
I’ve always thought I had unusual family and friends. Heck, Grandpa is a ruthless sociopath. So is my uncle. My brother is even worse.
A disaster might or might not kill you, princess. But being terrified of it would definitely finish you.
“Never say never, baby.” “I’m not your baby.” “You’re whatever the fuck I call you, baby.” He tugs on my lip again before he releases my mouth.
“Killian Carson,” Annika says. “Resident charming god of our high school and The King’s U, too. He's a fourth-year med student, despite being only nineteen. Obviously, he skipped a few grades, like me. Though I only skipped one and I’m seventeen. I’ll be eighteen soon, by the way, so don’t treat me like a kid.”
As she watches the fireflies, I watch her.
She’s a stubborn, hotheaded little shit, and I’m here for every fucking second of it.
For a moment, you want to stop being a good girl and just let whatever lurks inside you loose, isn’t that right?”
I want to think he’s joking, but I already know that Killian is the worst type of monster to ever exist. A gorgeous monster. A terrifying monster that my body mysteriously comes alive for.
“Oh, my God,” she breathes out. “That’s right, your god. Worship at my altar, baby.”
“That’s it. Fight, baby.” His expression is manic, absolutely terrifying. “The more you do, the harder I fuck you.”
Killian kisses the top of my head and before I can backpedal, he says the words that go straight to my heart. “I’ll make sure you always choose me as much as I choose you.”
Understand this, Glyndon, there’s nothing noble or tender about what I feel for you. It’s a violent volcano of obsession, possession, and deranged lust. If you want love, then I do love you, but it’s the unorthodox version of love. I love you enough to let you within my walls. I love you enough to let you talk to my demons. I love you enough to allow you to have a hold over me when I’ve never allowed anyone to have the power to destroy me from the inside out.”
