Midnight Revenge Quotes

“Can I go down on you?” She blinked, fighting equal doses of shock and humor. Had he seriously just asked her that? “I, uh, don’t usually like foreplay,” he added when she didn’t answer. His expression was sheepish. “Mostly because I’ve never cared about making anyone else feel good.”

“As much as I’m enjoying this verbal foreplay,” he said abruptly, “what do you say we just skip to the part where you ride my dick?”

“Where’s our man?” Holy shit, she’d just sounded like a total badass. She was tempted to sneak a peek at D and check if he was impressed, but she didn’t dare risk it.”

“It’s all right. You can be angry.” D slid toward the wall and leaned his head against it, his demeanor reverting back to what she was used to—hard and detached. “I wish I could say the words you want to hear. I really do. But that’s not who I am. I . . .” He slowly met her eyes. “I can’t lie to you.”

“Holy hell, Derek Pratt was . . . cute. So fucking cute that it summoned a laugh from her throat.”

“You think if you know what happened to me you’ll magically be able to figure me out? Fix me? Baby, nobody can fix me. I’m broken beyond repair.”

“Sullivan had been gone for six months, and the ticking clock in D’s head was getting louder and louder the longer Sully stayed off the grid.”
― Elle Kennedy, Midnight Revenge

“Morgan had given up on Sullivan. He didn’t expect to find him. Or, rather, he didn’t expect to find him alive.”

“Should I say it again?” He looked confused for a beat, but then it turned to wariness. “I’ve never said that to anyone before. Am I supposed to give a longer speech or something?” A laugh flew out. Oh God. This man was priceless. Sofia finally found her voice. “You love me?” “Yeah, I do. I probably should have led with that, but the state of your fucking house really pisses me off and I got sidetracked.”

“I, uh, love you,” D repeated. He clumsily rubbed the back of his neck, then his cheeks. Either she was imagining it, or his fingers were actually trembling.”
― Elle Kennedy, Midnight Revenge

“It was so strange. She’d known the man for years, and during that time the only feelings he’d evoked in her were curiosity and indifference. But three measly days at his side, and somehow she’d fallen in love with him.”
― Elle Kennedy, Midnight Revenge

“Why don’t they care?” Contempt dripped from Liam’s voice as he stared at their colleagues. “Weddings? J.J.’s christening? Cate’s graduation? What the hell is wrong with them?”
D laughed harshly. “The world doesn’t stop when something bad happens, bro. Life goes on. But that doesn’t mean they don’t care about him.”
“They think he’s dead.”
“Not all of them.”
“Just one is enough. One person gives up and the rest fall like fucking dominoes.”
Liam no longer sounded angry, but anguished. Visceral sorrow polluted the air around them, and D suddenly felt like fleeing. This was why you didn’t get close to people. Liam had been fine before his friendship with Sullivan. Then he’d gone and formed a bond with the man, and now look at him. Hurting. Furious. Pathetic.
D liked his teammates. He respected them. He cared whether they lived or died, and he saved their asses when their asses needed saving. He even showed up for their fucking weddings and graduations. But truly caring about them? Enough to experience genuine grief if they were gone?
No, he would never let himself get that close.”
