Kindle Notes & Highlights
Sometimes, I want to stop hiding from everyone, myself included. Oftentimes, however, it gets too hard and it’s impossible to breathe properly.
Fuck you. I’m a King, and we don’t get told what to do.
“Wait for me, baby.” And then his touch is gone, and so are the remnants of my fragile sanity.
She’s a stubborn, hotheaded little shit, and I’m here for every fucking second of it.
“I’m good at observing and linking patterns.” “A stalker, you mean.” “If you prefer that label.”
He lifts a shoulder. “Whether it’s a relationship or not means jack shit to me. That label holds no importance.” “Then what does?” “The fact that you’re mine.”
“You can’t force me to become yours.” “Watch me.” “I’ll fight every step of the way.” “By all means. It’d make the end result sweeter.”
“I’m going to kill you.” “I’ll kiss you in the meantime.”
Killian’s lips meet my forehead and I’m pretty sure something jostles in my heart when he murmurs, “That’s my girl.”
He makes it his mission to be touching me somehow in public, whether with his arm around my waist or shoulder, or my hand tucked in his. Anything that will let the world knows that I belong to him.
Killian breathes me in, slowly. “You make the demons go away, even temporarily.” “How?” “Beats me. Whatever it is you’re doing, keep doing it. I like how quiet it is up here.” He taps the side of his head.
My chest tightens and I don’t know what type of feeling this is. All I know is that want to kiss the fuck out of her.
“It’s never safe to fall, Glyn. You know you might break your bones or lose your life, but you still take the jump anyway, because you trust him to catch you.”
Killian is about to turn and leave, but I grab his shoulders and for the first time since he was a kid, I wrap my arms around him and bring him close.
“You’re a King. We don’t stay down to take the jab. We hit right back.” “I can’t. He’s…much stronger.” “No one is stronger than a King.”
But when I strain to open my eyes, I find Killian’s dark face staring at me, his fingers stroking my cheeks, and his voice a raging volcano. “Who the fuck did this to you?”
“Here’s a piece of advice, Killian—the only one I’ll offer you. If you do cause pain to my daughter, you might want to voluntarily disappear, because I’ll kill you when I find you.”
Nikolai jumps up. “What the fucking fuck is wrong with you, motherfucker? Stop throwing shit at me.”
