1 " That shit you just pulled? That was dangerous as hell. Safety first, baby. You should always use your seat belt. "
― Eva Ashwood , Empire of Ruin (Dirty Broken Savages, #4)
2 " You’re a warrior, River,” he reminds me softly. “You’re strong as all hell, and no one can break you. Not even Alec fucking Beckham. "
3 " Fuck, River,” Knox groans behind me. “You don’t know what you fucking do to me. You don’t know how damn good you feel. "
4 " You sent me to hell, and you expected it to break me, but it didn’t. I’m not ruined. And now I don’t fear the demons anymore. They fear me. "
5 " I’m in love with River. Obsessed with her, really. Dedicated to her, heart and soul. "
6 " Listen to me, River,” Gage growls softly, dropping his head a little so that our noses are only inches apart. “You don’t get to decide how I feel about you. You don’t get to decide whether I’m willing to put myself in front of a bullet to save you. You don’t get to decide if I’d rather lose my own life than risk yours. "
7 " None of that is up to you,” he continues. “I’ll do anything it takes to protect you. Do you understand? Anything. As many times as I have to. And that will never, ever change. "
8 " For so long, I tried not to rely on anyone. I told myself the only person I could trust to get things done right was me. I kept people at more than arm’s length, and I did what I had to do to survive. "
9 " But the thing is, there are some people out there who get off on treating someone else like an object. There’s power in it, and that’s what they want. To them, you may as well not have feelings at all because they don’t give a shit one way or another. "
10 " there really is no one I want but these four men. Not because of what they can do for me, but because of who they are. "
11 " I’m no longer a lone wolf. I’ve found a pack, a place where I belong. And I never want to fucking lose that. "
