1 " Donnelly raises his hand.I feel exhausted. “What?”He drops his hand. “If you’re dead, then who pays our bills? Assuming Ryke Meadows is going to murder you. "
― Krista Ritchie , Fearless Like Us (Like Us, #9)
2 " What I feel for Sulli is cemented so deep inside my unholy soul. The world will have to bring me to my knees to take her away from me. "
3 " I can’t play favorites with you, Banks.” “But I am your favorite,” I mention. He gives me a look like I’m being ridiculous. “Just say it.” “You’re my metamour. Of course you’re my favorite in Omega. They don’t need to see that, man. "
4 " Luna pockets the note about Donnelly, and the tattooed, chestnut-haired bodyguard keeps his thumb up for Luna. Close to each other, he uses his thumb to pick an eyelash off her cheek. “Make a wish.” “You make it. I’m not as lucky. "
5 " Whatever happens,” I whisper, “we’ll always choose you like you chose us. No matter which direction I’m pulled in, I’m headed to you. "
6 " I’m just hanging on, Banks.” He sighs heavily. “The only certainty I have right now is you and her. "
7 " But fear of the danger ahead isn’t depriving me of the greatest love I’ve ever experienced. "
8 " I don’t understand why you’re putting yourself through this. There are other girls--”That one is a knife into the gut. “No,” I cut him off. “There’s only her.” What I have with Sulli can’t be replicated or reproduced with just any living soul. "
9 " I look to Banks. We’ve fallen in love with the same lively, endearing, courageous girl, and the irreplaceable feelings I share with him—the true depth of feelings we all share—I can’t leave behind. Like pieces of soul and breath. Greater than love. A reason for living. A reason for being.He looks to me. It’s the three of us.It’s always going to be the three of us. "
10 " You fucking fool, Banks Roscoe Moretti, you fell in love with a Meadows girl. "
11 " I hope the man who taught me to float as a baby isn’t about to see me drown as an adult. "
12 " At the base of the mountain, everything feels louder, even his wrath. I feel more like a small creature in the vast greatness of nature, not the girl raised by wolves. "
13 " Her fingers curl around my shirt. “What else are you weak for?” “Water ice,” I breathe. “Pizzelles during Christmastime.” I dip my head to whisper huskily, deeply, “And the smokeshow right in front of me.” She drinks me in. “I’m a weakness?” “You make me weak at the knees, strong at the heart. "
14 " We already have, sir," Banks says.I look up just as my dad swings. "
15 " I just want to kiss Sulli like she’s my girlfriend. Because she is my girlfriend. And a kiss shouldn’t cause an earthquake of chaos. "
16 " I want so fucking badly to just listen to my own voice and feelings about who I am. I know I’m a woman, but I want my dad to see me as more than just his little girl too. "
17 " I want to be fearless with my life … like my parents were with theirs. "
18 " And if this all goes terribly wrong, I won’t need you or my dad to save me this time, Moffy.” I hold his gaze, our childhood racing through us. “This time, I’ll save myself. "
19 " Our friends and family keep acting like one of us needs to fall for the other to rise.Jokes on them. I’m not falling.I want more for my life, and why the hell can’t I be the phoenix. Rising up next to the girl I love. "
20 " Wild things aren’t meant to be caught,” I breathe.His eyes caress mine. “You’re not a thing.”“Then what am I?”“Mine,” he says. “His.” His lips hover against my ear once more. “Ours. "
