Atonement (The Protectors, #6) QUOTES

1 " Hell, he hadn’t even touched my ass. He’d kissed me. Everywhere. Softly, reverently. And then his fingers had followed. It was the strangest fucking foreplay I’d never known. And I’d loved it. “Dante, "

2 " Did you ask him, Pop-pop?” I glanced at Magnus and was surprised to see his face flood with just the slightest hint of color. “Um no, not yet,” he said, sending me a small smile and shaking his head. Were they talking about me? “You should ask him before someone else does,” Matty declared and then I saw Leo lean over and whisper something to Matty. He nodded vigorously before saying, “Pop-pop, I gotta go…we’re going on a mission.” “Okay, "

3 " For the briefest of moments, I’d forgotten all about the women, but I’d managed to spout off some bullshit about the girls being for him, even though the words had left a sour taste in my mouth. I’d shared plenty of lovers before, had been involved in a few orgies even, but the idea of anyone touching what I wanted, Shelly and her friend included, had had me seeing red. And "

4 " months…trying to figure out why Magnus had such a hold on me. He was nothing like the men I typically went for…though I didn’t really have a “type.” It was the control thing. In that, he had it in spades and the last thing I wanted was to be controlled. Then why the fuck did the idea of Magnus pinning me down and taking me however he wanted and for as long as he wanted turn me on instead of off? "

5 " They’d both passed out and I’d let them sleep for as long as it had taken for me to rub one out, moaning Magnus’s name as I’d come. Then I’d packed both ladies into a cab and sent them on their way. “We’re "

6 " Fucking bravest kid I’ve ever met,” I muttered quietly. Magnus "

7 " What did you say to him at the wedding?” “What?” I asked again, pretending I hadn’t heard him. “You heard me.” Bastard. "

8 " I told him he was going to be a hit with the ladies,” I said with a smirk. But to my surprise, Magnus actually smiled briefly and said, “I doubt that.” “What "

9 " Now if you’d told him he was going to impress Leo, then maybe I’d have believed you, because that definitely would have put a smile on Matty’s face.” I "

10 " Seems Leo and Matty have their own plans to walk down the aisle someday.” “Really?” I said with a laugh. Magnus chuckled and shook his head. “Something about eating each other’s peas and broccoli and not kissing because their daddies kiss too much.” I "

11 " Would it bother you?” I asked before I could stop myself. “Would what bother me?” Magnus returned and when I didn’t answer, he shot me a hard look. “Do you mean, would it bother me if Matty was gay?” I’d clearly pissed him off and I suddenly wished I’d had the sense to just keep my damn mouth shut. "

12 " Jesus, Dante, how can you ask me that?” Magnus snapped. Yep, "

― Sloane Kennedy , Atonement (The Protectors, #6)

13 " What did Matty mean? What are you supposed to ask me?” Magnus chuckled. “Remember how I told you that Matty wants to marry Leo?” “Yeah.” “Well, in that same conversation, he decided that you and I should get married.” I "

14 " Hawke and Tate aren’t your kids!” I bit out. “People are all liberal when it’s other people’s kids, but when it’s yours…” I snapped my mouth shut before shaking my head. “You know what, fuck it. Never mind.” A good two minutes of utter silence filled the car before Magnus said, “I wouldn’t care who he ended up with, as long as he was happy.” I "

15 " I didn’t respond to that, though some of the chill that had taken over my body dissipated. But it came back in a rush when Magnus quietly asked, “Is that what happened to you? "

― Sloane Kennedy , Atonement (The Protectors, #6)

16 " The part I was trying to understand was why I was so damn angry. It wasn’t like I had any say in what he did – he was free to do whatever and whoever the hell he wanted and I’d long ago accepted that he tended to think with his dick first. But how was that different from a lot of guys? Why did his behavior piss me off? You know why, you jealous bastard. I "

17 " I sure would have loved to live in Matty’s imagination where a guy like Magnus would want someone like me. “Why did he think that?” Magnus’s smile faded and his eyes met mine. “Because we’re both alone,” he murmured. The innocent logic was amusing, but there was no humor in Magnus’s gaze which led me to say, “That’s not the only reason, is it?” The silence between us lasted several long seconds before Magnus whispered, “And because he thinks I’m sad and that being married means I won’t be sad anymore.” I didn’t need to ask if the little boy was right. Magnus had hidden his grief well in the past six months, but I’d seen enough in just the last few days to know that he’d loved his daughter with everything he was. I was tempted to end the conversation with another crass joke, but my mind rebelled. I couldn’t make light of this man’s pain. I took a deep breath and forced myself to say the words I hadn’t even had the strength to admit to myself. “I lost someone too. "

18 " Who did you lose?” I asked gently. "

19 " My brother. Aleksander…Aleks.” “When?” “Ten "

20 " Ten years ago. He was eight.” Dante’s voice shook with emotion and he dropped his eyes. “How old were you?” “Sixteen.” I "
