“You’ll catch me.” I didn’t know if he would understand what that meant, but in the last few weeks, he’d done everything I could have asked for and more. He’d pushed himself because I asked him to, and all he’d asked from me in return was to trust him. The raw tension holding me hostage let go at that admission. It was scary as fuck the first time you fell. But that was how you knew you were still alive.”

You had it before?” He paused, the wind ruffling his hair, and stared at me with the saddest eyes. “You know, life isn’t all pretty. You’re clean and soft and bright.

“Are you telling me to back off?” The weariness in that question made me look up. Fighting with my brothers wasn’t my favorite thing to do. But this wasn’t over just anything. “No,” I said slowly “I would love it if all of you did, but Kel’s got his eye on her. Rome’s nuts for her. That dick Liam keeps sniffing around.” Like he thought I hadn’t noticed how often he’d started popping up now that she was here. Then having Rome take her to his place? Asshole. At least him I got to pummel before Emersyn asked me to not do it anymore. I ground my teeth. “Doc wants her too.” Vaughn chuckled. “I don’t know a red-blooded man alive that wouldn’t want her.” “You’re okay with it?” “With you guys?” Vaughn shrugged. “It’s always been us against the world. Now it can be us with her, against the world.” That…didn’t sound so bad.”

― Heather Long, Vicious Rebel

“If you really knew me,” she said finally. “I don’t think you’d want anything to do with me.” “I’ll let you get away with that,” I told her, but I cupped her face so I could keep her gaze on me. “Because you don’t know us well yet. We’re going to change that. All of us. We’re going to make a new path forward, and you’re going to find out that nothing you could tell us—literally nothing—would change how we feel or your place here.”
