"she was meant to be the death of me, not the life of another."

"I’ve been nothing but willing when it comes to drowning in those ocean eyes. But now, I can’t fathom drowning if she is not the anchor I’m sinking with."

"It’s not as though she hadn’t promised to be my ruin, hadn’t already become my demise. She is the single most destructive thing I have ever desired, and yet, it is the ------------ that will destroy me."

"Damn the pretending. Damn the hiding. Damn everything but him and us and this moment where I need him."

"Death is the only constant in my life, like an old friend who hones every one of my dark secrets into a weapon."

DUDE

“Every brutal act is born of love.”

"There are very few reasons for a meeting between two cloaked figures in the dead of night. Unsurprisingly, the list is as short as it is unseemly. For some, it is love. For most, it is lust. Lust for money. Lust for purpose. Lust for revenge. But in some cases, it is love that first spurs these lusts. Or rather, the loss of it. Though these odd contradictories are rare, they are consistently tragic."

"For those fearless enough to follow their heart"

"It had been so long since I’d felt content. But with her, I was starting to see glimpses of my old self, the guy who’d loved life, who’d had a future. And I hadn’t realised how much I’d missed him. “Happy birthday, Lance,” she whispered and for the first time in fucking years, it really was a happy one."

He must be protected

“Do you want to know a secret?” he whispered into my ear and a delicious shiver ran through me as I nodded. He brushed his fangs against my throat and his hold on me tightened, his need to drink suddenly so obvious I didn’t know why I hadn’t realised it the second he’d stepped into the room. “You’re what I latch onto to bring me back from the shadows.”

“In Solaria we have a tradition of giving rose quartz to someone we want to be exclusive with.”

Orion, you sweet talker

“Wanting to save someone isn’t the same as doing it.”

“Maybe I should swear off the Heirs altogether and find myself a nice, normal bad boy. You know, the kind who hangs out in biker bars and beats people up for fun. Your run of the mill psycho like I usually go for. There would be so much less drama involved.”

"The sound of her screaming my name was the most arousing and rewarding thing I’d ever heard."

The fact, it's M + G, is sending me

Not sure if this book is for me

"Oh no. Don't smile, I can't resist your smiles."
"You find my smiles irresistible?"
"You know I do. Smile at me and I'm at your command."

"I'll do - "
"Whatever you want - "
"Whenever you want - "
"However you want."
"Will you let me?"
"Will you let me be the one who takes care of you? The one who makes you feel good? You're all keyed up, frustrated. It's not fair, you being neglected like this. I'd be happy to help if you wanted. "

"There's a reason adults are too heavy to carry... They need to learn how to carry themselves."

"People think... But what they don't seem to grasp is that no matter what your profession, if you're desperate, you're more likely to be taken advantage of... if you're doing a job because you don't feel like you have any other options, you're being exploited."

"You got to love everybody because everybody needs love," she said. "And if we don't love them, who will?"

"No one - and I mean absolutely no person on this whole green earth - has ever preferred my company to Beau Winston's. No. One. Not once.
Until now."

“I want to wake up every day and be alone in a room with you. I want to witness your life and have you witness mine. I want a parallel line and the fantasy world we talked about to be real. I want us to make memories.”

“We were both in cages. Only I’d made mine.”

Ali, how dare you make me cry on a random Wednesday?

“So you’re just… alone?” she asked.
“I’m always alone.”

Shot to the heart…

“Everything I got to do with her was precious to me. I’d never been much for mementos or keepsakes but now all I wanted was to look around me and see evidence of her. I wanted to breathe in and smell her, reach out and touch her, open my eyes and see her...”

“Because if you were my wife, you would be my world. Everything starts with you and ends with you. Anything else is just the stuff that happens in the middle.”

“I’m not saying she was right to do what she did, but I do understand it. And you know what’s funny? Knowing this now doesn’t change the memory, but it changes the way I feel about the memory. That’s what apologies and perspective does. It changes how you feel about what happened.”

“I think we grow up and we either get harder or we get softer on our parents. We realize how fucked up they actually were or we give them a pass because adulting is hard and now we get it. They’re people and they make mistakes.”

“It’s ironic how important things make the world smaller. How a kiss with someone you love can make you feel like you’re alone with them, like you’re in a snow globe with just the two of you …”
