Kindle Notes & Highlights
“There are darknesses in life, and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights.”
She may look pure, but there’s dirt on her soul—a skeleton handcuffed to her wrist that she’s been forced to drag around for as long as she can remember.
And holy fucking hell, I want her. Want to break her body in half as I dive inside, filling her veins with my blood.
Even though this party is casual, he stands there in a three-piece suit—all black, the way I imagine his soul.
“Women have been lining up on my doorstep since word got around about my massive cock.”
Fuck me. This is probably the hottest thing that’s ever happened to me, and it’s happening with one of the most dangerous men on the freaking planet. Why does that make it immensely hotter?
“Fucking hell, you’re gorgeous. I cannot wait to destroy you.”
Oh my God. I’m being fingered by a mob boss in my cousin’s house. Can it get any more depraved than this?
“Marry me, then.”
Parents have that ability; they create you, and in return, you spend your whole life craving their approval, even if they don’t deserve it.
Because it hurts that I have to give someone an opening. That no one has ever cared enough to barge in and force the truth from me. Because you turn your head and let it all happen.
“Nothing’s always bad, right? If you look hard enough, you can find the good in anyone.”
I want to break her—own her. Erase the darkness inked on her soul. Use her innocence for myself; harvest it so she lives on in my bones. And I won’t stop until she’s given me everything.
“I can do whatever the fuck I want, baby. This is my castle, and I’m your goddamn king.”
She’s caring and considerate. Warm and soft, all the things I can’t imagine ever being, and it makes me want to walk inside, scoop her into my arms, and never let her go. Fuck, I’m gone for this little nymph.
“I don’t need your forgiveness. Don’t want it. All I want is your goddamn surrender.”
I want to own her; for our souls to be so entwined, there’s no way they can ever be separated, but not at the expense of her goodness. Her innocence. Fuck me; I want to love her. I think I might already.
