61 " Pigpen's on the move. "
― Katie McGarry , Walk the Edge (Thunder Road, #2)
62 " Pigpen jumps off as well but snatches my arm, gripping like he means to cause pain. "
63 " Because everyone is still treating me with kid gloves, Pigpen's driving me in his pickup truck, blasting music that's more screaming than music. I prefer electric guitar over voices, but it's not my fucking truck. "
64 " Eli and Pigpen walk backward as a human shield as they fire, edging me toward my bike. "
65 " My head whips towards the sound of Breanna's sweet voice. At the corner, she waves to our English teacher [Ms Whitlock] then starts to our classroom. "
66 " Hey, Breanna.”I glance over my shoulder. “Yes?”“Be safe.”Those are two enticing and lovely words. “I will be. I have you protecting me, right?”Maybe I’m misreading Razor, but his eyes travel my body like he might toss me onto the bed of the truck and kiss me in a way I’ve never been kissed before. “Don’t worry. I completely have your back. "
67 " I’ll tell you what … if you want wild – if you want a kiss that breaks the rules, I’ll give you one, but not here, not now.”I think my heart exploded. Razor of the Reign of Terror – the guy all the girls have dreams about for years – has offered to kiss me. “When?”“When I say.” His lips edge up, sending a thrill through my bloodstream. “If you have the nerve. "
68 " I promise I’ll take care of you,” he whispers. “You’re safe with me. "
69 " Most people avoid me, easily leaving two feet between us, and here is this little warrior trudging into battle without armor.Terrified I’ll break her, I weave my arms around her and hug her back. My eyes shut when she settles furthering into me. I rest my cheek on her head and simply breathe. "
70 " I need you to make a choice, Breanna. If you want things to stay as they are between us, then I need you to walk out that door. Otherwise, it’s going to change.”She tilts her head as if she’s as lost in emotion as I am. “It’s already changed.”A part of me mourns for her. She’s the firefly I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep alive, but I shove those thoughts away. Breanna is here, and she isn’t leaving, which means she’s mine. "
71 " Bridges are meant to connect They're meant to defy drops and distances, but occasionally we lose our way.... we fall off, we drive off, we consider jumping. "
72 " The terror is strong because we don't act like the riot." Pigpen spits likes he's a viper showing his fangs full of venom. "My old man--he's Riot. "
73 " I've killed people before, Razor, and that shit...it changes everything and it doesn't just change you. It's an avalanche to everyone around[-] "
74 " Pigpen claps my arm and smiles at me like he did the night I was patched in. "Welcome back, brother. Now let's get to work. "
75 " Eli's on my left and Pigpen on my right as we take off. Both have their guns still drawn and their expressions are deadly. "
76 " He [Pigpen] should know better than to ask questions he won't get answers to. He motions to my cell. "I could hack it and just find out."Proved he could this afternoon after the two of us hacked into emails of someone who's been targeting a client. "
77 " The answering call causes my ears to ring. Pigpen stares at me, unblinking as the mantra is repeated three more times followed by over a hundred men howling into the night. "
78 " With one are-you-going-to-live glance at Pigpen, he rolls his eyes, and I sit with Dad on the bench. "
79 " Sizzling. This entire room is sizzling. From his voice to his eyes to that dimpled half smirk to those ripped muscles in his arms. Razor is so hot the fire alarms should be blaring. "
80 " Pigpen slides into the man's space and goes nose to nose. To the cop's credit, he doesn't flinch. "
