Kindle Notes & Highlights
The day Bran finds someone, though it’s very unlikely, I’m not sure what sort of beast I’ll turn into. I’d like to think that I’ve changed some of my mindset, but my brother has always been a red line that couldn’t be crossed by anyone—our parents included.
All I can see is her carefree smile and the way her light eyes twinkle under the afternoon sun. I have the urge to go there and devour that smile and feast on her full lips.
Mia is the one who worked on herself and is fighting to find her voice. And I’ll be there every step of the way until she manages to do so.”
Everything is always okay whenever she’s in my sight.
“Please don’t tell me you’re talking to flowers again.”
“Yes, but only because I figured it’d make you happy if I get to know the people you love.”
I wrap my arms around his waist and bury my face in his chest. Lan engulfs me, his larger hands covering my back in a protective cocoon.
You were always mine, Mia. We just hadn’t met yet.”
“And you don’t like gentle, do you, my little muse? You don’t like to listen to sweet words whispered in your ear while being fucked missionary style. You prefer the kinks and the unknown. You get off on the rough and the fucked up.” Slap.
“I won’t fuck you. I just need to feel you.”
Pleasure can only come with pain—rough, decadent, and absolutely delicious.
I wrap my arms around his neck. In the descending darkness, he looks savage and absolutely rugged.
My fingers stroke along the mole beneath his right eye. His gaze captures mine as his cock slides up and down my folds and over my clit.
“Fuck. You feel so good, baby.”
He pushes me so that my back hits the wall, then slams his palm by the side of my head.
No one else touches what’s fucking mine, baby.
“Palms on the wall and arse in the air. Let me see my hole.”
His fingers dig into my ass cheeks pulling them farther apart and then he spits. I can feel it sliding down my legs,
“Your cunt is mine. Your arse is mine. Everything you have to offer is fucking mine, Mia. It’s time I own you entirely.”
“Relax.” He slaps my ass and I yelp. “If you get tense, it’ll only hurt.”
“This is why you’re my one and only.”
Lan is a huge man and I feel every inch of his cock filling me to the brim.
You’re taking me like such a good girl, baby.”
He reaches to my pussy and massages my clit as he thrusts into my ass. “Fuck, you’re strangling my cock so well, baby.”
“I’m just kidding.” He grins. “Or not, depending on your reply.”
“I love you,” I sign before I can even think about it. He stops at the threshold of the room, but it’s only for a second before he continues to the bathroom. “Let’s get you in a bath.”
And I just demanded that he feel an emotion he absolutely can’t.
I want the love he’ll never be able to give me.
he might not know how to love, but he is learning how to care, and I can assure you that he cares for you more than I’ve seen him care for anyone else—himself included. The day I picked him up from the Heathens’ mansion, he looked both monstrous and shell-shocked. He mentioned you promised to leave him so Nikolai wouldn’t break his wrist. He looked me in the eye and said, “You told me to act against my instinct and try to understand what she thinks instead of what my beast dictates. We have a problem, Bran. I think Mia is the one who doesn’t understand and could use your boring lessons. If she

Maybe it’s not that he doesn’t know how to love, it’s more of a case that he does it differently.
“Here’s another deal for you. Drop your weapon or I blow your head off.”
“Say my name again.” He grinned as he wiped my tears away.
it was just a shoulder graze and should be okay, but if that was the case, why did he lose consciousness?
“You called me Dad after such a long time. I…” An unnatural shine glints in his eyes. “I thought I would never hear you say that or talk again.”
“Give me back my voice for the last eleven years of my life.”
All those years she offered me comfort and made sure I was never alone in the darkness wasn’t because she loved me. It was because she felt guilty.
He’s the one who encouraged me to talk again, even unknowingly.
“Why should that stop me?” He strokes my hair behind my ear. “Fuck. I knew I’d love your voice since the first time I heard you whisper.”
“Yeah. I’ve loved it since and did everything in my power to make sure I’d hear it again.”
“I will always be here.”
“In case it’s not clear yet, I care about you, and when it’s someone I care about, which is decidedly few and far between, I protect them.”
“Because I don’t like to label what I feel for you as love. This”—he points between us—“is much more potent and twisted than mere love. If loving someone means letting them go and wishing them happiness with someone else, then I don’t subscribe to that definition. But if love means protecting and wanting to take care of you till my dying day, then I love you more than anyone has ever loved another human being.”
I’ve never seen someone so brutally beautiful as he is. And yet, at this moment, he feels like a different man.
I promise you this, Mia. I’ll always see your perspective before mine, not because I have to, but because I want to. I’m in for the long haul.”
we both know that I believe myself to be God’s gift to humans.”
I grab his face with both hands and whisper against his mouth, “I love you, Lan.”
He brought me to London so I could meet his parents over the summer vacation.
he’s always respected my decision and hasn’t pushed me to make the trip.
Three siblings with entirely different personalities.
“On my face? Why would I tell Mum and Dad that?”
