“We were the new rulers of Redwood. And we were going to change this place for good.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“Only thing left to do,” João said turning on the car and gripping the steering wheel. “Find the person who infected Ana and beat the shit out of him.” João looked over at me. “You ready?”
I pulled my gun out of my waistband and gripped the handle. “I’m ready.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“We might’ve been far from destroying Redwood completely, but we were closer now than we had been two weeks ago. We were the gang who ran Redwood now. We got to decide how shit went down.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“Landon might not have had a plan for the future when we got together ages ago, but I was happy that I could push him to find a place in this crazy little world of ours.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“That was so easy! I don’t know why all you guys acted so hurt. Even I could do it! And it is so cute!”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“All right you guys,” I said, tapping my toe on the tiled floor and smirking at my guys through the mirror’s reflection, “time to admit it. Out of all of us, I’m the deadliest member of Poison.”
Kai stifled a laugh as João straight-up chuckled in my face.
“You have that all backward,” João said.
“I do not,” I defended, pulling down my shirt and feeling freedom.
Absolute freedom.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“When he finally finished, Landon tugged me off the chair and pulled me toward a mirror, so I could see the tattoo that we all had on our ribs to symbolize us, Poison.
A grayscale poison bottle tattoo with a skull in the center and four roses behind it.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“And ever since I had met these three boys, I had done nothing but rebel. Besides, I was a member of Poison now, and being a member of the most ruthless gang in town meant I had to play the part. I had already killed someone, who had threatened my mother, but nobody had to know that.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“I smiled and thought about how… everything was falling into place.
We were all working in some odd way.”

― Emilia Rose, Poison

“I jogged over to her, grabbed her face in my rough hands, and kissed her hard on the mouth. She froze a moment, then placed her hands over mine and smiled into our kiss. Resting her forehead against me, she moved her lips on mine.
“I love you,” I whispered as soon as she pulled away. “I love you so much.”
“Kai,” she whispered. “I thought you wanted to wait.”
“I can’t anymore.” I seized her waist and pulled her closer to me, wanting to touch every single inch of her. “I can’t wait until we take care of Akio’s parents. I want you to know how I feel about you now.”
Time seemed to stop as I waited and waited and waited for her to say it back.
“I love you, too.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“As she wrapped her arms around me, I hugged her back like I had with Allie the other night. It felt so… different, but still like I had family. Imani might’ve been in my life for only a couple of months, but I felt like I could tell her fucking anything now. Her warmth spread around me, taking me in. All I’d wanted to do all night was hold her tightly. My heart swelled with happiness at the thought of finally being able to be with someone who made me feel… good.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“He leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips, like she had kissed me earlier. Except she kissed him for a bit longer, with a bit more passion, with more… love.
Fuck.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“No matter how rude João was to Imani, she gave him a small smile, her eyes lighting up. She looked at me the same way, but it still felt different between her and me. We had chemistry, but I hadn’t told her that I loved her yet.
But I wanted to tell her so badly.
So fucking badly.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“She had no fucking idea how many times I’d jerked off to the thought of having her like that again, having her arms pulled into the air, her naked body restrained and ready for whatever I wanted to do to it, her being completely submissive to me.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“Do you remember the first time we were here, alone?”
“Of course I do.”
“Tie me up again sometime,” she whispered, dragging her fingers down my abdomen and curling them inside my waistband. “With everything going on, I’ve been aching for it again. It’s been too long.”
“You think it’s been long for you?” I chuckled.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“Fuck, I wanted her to wake up next to me like that one of these days. I couldn’t fucking wait until Akio’s parents were taken care of, so I could give her all of me. It was getting hard to hold back because the more I saw her, the deeper and deeper I fell.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“They’re so in love with her. I never thought I would say this, but it’s actually cute.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“I hate you, you know that?” Imani said to him, then stopped and turned to us. “Why is everyone staring? What’s wrong?”
After Landon shut the door behind them, João clenched his jaw and glared at him. “Answer your fucking phone next time and get back here sooner. It’s fucking crazy outside. Imani and Ana shouldn’t be out there.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“I stared at her smaller frame for a few long moments, wishing that I could tell her that I loved and cared about her the same way she cared about me. I wanted her to tell me that she loved me too, not just appreciated me.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“I know something is holding you back,” she said, “but I wanted to let you know that you make me feel so safe and strong, and I… I appreciate it so much more than you will ever know. I’ve never felt this confident before I met you guys.”
It looked like she wanted to say more.
Fuck, I wanted her to say more.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“Good job,” I said, unable to hold back a smile.
Because, fuck, hers was beautiful. She was getting so strong, becoming even sexier to me, if that was even possible. Sweet Imani was turning into a woman who could protect herself without the help of anyone else.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“God, they were useless when a girl was crying. They didn’t know the first thing to say or how to act around her, so Kai cleared his throat and continued.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“You have people who will support you,” I said, giving her my best half-smile. “Allie and I will be here if you need anyone to talk to or lean on. I know that we all haven’t had the best relationship with you before, but… we’re here now.”
“Really?” Nicole asked, tears wavering in her eyes.
“Yeah.”
She let a tear slip down her cheek. “That means so much to me.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“Imani was the only person that I felt this way for, and I couldn’t help myself every time I was close to her. I’d vowed to stay away from her for as long as I could, until Akio’s parents were gone for good, but that was proving more and more difficult. I feared that I wouldn’t be able to protect Imani from them. I feared that the same thing that had happened to my parents would happen to her, too.
I feared that they would take her away from me.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“I didn’t fix anyone, and I don’t want to fix you,” she said. “I want to make sure you’re okay.”
But maybe I wanted her to fix me because a normal eighteen-year-old kid shouldn’t enjoy killing the people who had hurt his family and his girl. He might’ve wanted revenge, but he wouldn’t get off on it the way that I did.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“Yeah, I know, but this is Akio, for crying out loud,” Imani said, shaking her head.
“It’s no different than me doing something for you,” I said.
“So…” She paused, a small smile making its way onto her face. “Does that make me your girl?”
My entire body tensed, and I found myself unable to look away from her. She was grinning a bit too widely, and I liked the thought of her being mine way too much for me to lie to her again tonight. “If I had to kidnap a cop and kill him for you, I would, Imani.”
“That didn’t answer my question. I want to hear you say it.”
I swallowed hard, her presence becoming the only fucking thing in the entire room that I could focus on, and tugged on one of her curls. My heart pounded inside my chest. This feeling was so foreign. “You’re my girl.”
The words came out so much softer than I’d intended them to, but that didn’t stop Imani from stretching her smile ear to ear and beaming at me. She didn’t say anything in response. Hell, she didn’t need to. Her smile told me fucking everything.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“Landon and João took up so much of her time that I barely got to spend any with her. And, fuck, I didn’t want her to drift away from me. She was the best fucking thing that had happened to Poison.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison

“She fucking loved him too, and I wanted her to say that to me as well one day, but I didn’t know if it would ever be soon.”
― Emilia Rose, Poison
