“Who are you, and what have you done with my husband?”

Basically what I’ve been thinking this entire book. The way their attitudes change at the drop of a hat makes my head spin

“The number one thing he taught me is never to fight when you can negotiate instead. Because the outcome of a fight is never certain.”

Where did that philosophy go when you cornered Aida and Seb after fire??

I get out my phone, planning to text Jack’s phone with something polite and simple—like maybe one of those yellow middle finger emojis. Then he pops up next to me, saying, “You ready to go?”

Oop. Someone saw that kiss Oliver planted on her

How tf did we go from Aida almost shooting Jack, to Callum spanking her, then them hate-fucking, and then tenderly cuddling for the first time?

“My head is spinning. What the hell is going on? Is this Stockholm Syndrome because I’ve been enmeshed with the Griffins too long?”

Has it not been like… a week? Tops? I’m so confused by these two.

“What the fuck is happening to me?
It must just be the fact that I haven’t gotten laid in over a week.
Because there’s no way that I could be turned on by Callum ordering me around. That’s crazy. I fucking hate being bossed around.”

Am I missing something? How did we get here? There’s no reason for either of them to feel any differently for each other at this stage

are we seriously about to fucking bang rn…?

can they bang me too? In the head? With a frying pan?

Not him getting turned on from trying to drown her??????????????

“I’d get Aida pregnant right this second, purely because of how furious it would make her. That would be one way to tame the wild beast.”

I think my ovaries just shriveled up and died

“If you think I’m gonna be some little porn star for you—“
“That’s just bare minimum standards—“

I’m so fucking close to dnfing this

“I expect her to be properly groomed, from head to toe.
I love the idea of her being primped and cleaned and waxed to my specifications. Like a little doll, built just the way I like it.”

He just keeps getting grosser and grosser by the minute

Did he really… schedule a Brazilian for her…?

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

“Worry about your own side of the family,” I tell him coldly. “If we’re chained together, you fucking savages need to learn to act civilized. I’ll kill every last one of you before I let you drag us down.”

I’ll hack off your stinky balls with a dull spoon, shitface. Don’t fucking test me.

“He thinks Aida has some vulnerable side?
I doubt it.
She’s an animal, just like her brothers.
Which means she needs to be broken.”

Ew. Just ew.

“I’ve got two knees, but only one sister.”

Awee- I hope Seb gets a book

“I don’t give a shit what they say. The moment they leave, I’m out the door, too.”

I see you learned from your mistakes… not

NOT SEBS LEG YOU FUCKER

“We’re allowed to go out on a Saturday night. We’re all adults, after all—just barely, in my case.”

… she’s 18? 19, maybe?
Yikes. This does not bode well.

“Tears leaked from my eyes, but my hands were still covering the majority of my face.”

Horns??

“Sprinting down the hall... okay, I mean, really, it was more like a brisk walk. I don’t sprint. Especially not without serious boob support, I’m not a masochist.”

The singular relatable thing she’s said so far

“I thank the stars every morning, Sprout. I thank them for bringing us here, bringing us to you, and I’ll never be able to get enough.”

These declarations are just so unearned

“Gotta feel your mouth, Sprout.”

Top three least sexy names to moan during sex:

“Coating him in my cream.”

I’m banning that word from erotica

“Especially as I felt pressure against my ass seconds before Kai sank his finger deep inside.”

No.
I almost liked you, Kai. And then you went straight to anal without clearing it with your partner.
Men.

“So when my little witch showed up with sticks of dynamite and started demolishing that wall around my heart, and I let her, I knew she was different, I knew she was mine.”

Do I need to say it again? Nah.

“These touches, they weren’t meant to arouse; they were meant to express gratitude and to bring all of us back down from the impossible heights we’d just reached together.”

Didn’t expect this to incorporate sumn resembling aftercare, but kudos ig

First passably steamy scene

“Right now, though, I felt vulnerable, like she was peering into my soul, seeing all my scars and deciding if I was still worth something.”

You’ve had ONE borderline sentimental discussion

“My heart pumps blackness through these tainted veins.”

Annnnd
He ruined it

“If I’ve learned anything in my thirty years on this shit hole, it’s that family is what you make it. Cut out the blackened, energy sucking parts and fill the holes with the people who deserve to share your life. Blood doesn’t mean shit, Red.”

Random 180 soft boi moment
But he’s got a point
