Kindle Notes & Highlights
I know what she did. I know all her secrets, but now, they’re mine to keep. Fuck the oaths and fuck the promises. My only mission from here on out is to protect the girl who will one day be mine.
Sometimes we need a little pain to remind us we can feel in the first place.
Hello, consequences, my old friend. If only you’d show your face and punish me for the life I had to end. Maybe then I’d feel remorse or even empathy. Until then I’ll hide in the darkness of my insanity.
One day she will proudly wear my crown, even if it’s drenched in the blood of the men I’ve killed for her.
My head drops back and I stare at the spinning ceiling fan overhead. Maddox might be right, but if Riley drags me down with her, it means she wants me near her. In that case, drag me down, baby. Abuse me. Hurt me. Love me.
Riley Cross is my own personal drug, and I want to overdose on her. If I could choose my way of death, I’d choose her. I’d rip my heart out of my chest if it meant hers would beat a second longer.
“You like when my fingers fuck you, baby girl?”
“Ridge loves you the way Ridge knows how to love. It’s messy and chaotic. A bit distorted and morbid. But I can guarantee you’re the safest in his presence.”
“You’ve moved me more than any human can ever move another. That’s not something I’m willing to let go of. Not in this lifetime, and not in the next.”
I’ve always known I feel things too deeply and love too hard. But it’s not just Riley. I love my boys, too. A life alone is not a life worth living, and I can’t imagine doing it without her, or them. My happiness is in the back seat, and they’re all riding shotgun.
