21 " Why couldn't he just keep being an evil, soulless bastard so I knew what his role was and I knew mine? "
― C.J. Roberts , Captive in the Dark (The Dark Duet, #1)
22 " No more movie references. No more fictional characters to relate to. This was real. It was destiny. I was…a thing, a commodity. "
23 " I blinked once, "if it's anywhere near as bad as what those assholes did to me... I'm tired of living through this shit just to step into deeper fucking shit. So if all you have planned for me is more torture, I think I'd rather die. Just do me one favor and don't... I don't want to die slow. "
24 " You're going to pay for that Pet,' he panted. The right side of his face sported an angry red hand print.I shook out my hand, 'I already have. That was my change. "
25 " Today the pain was emotional, the worst kind "
26 " I was a pretty thing, and pretty things did not fare well in this world, not in the hands of men like him. "
27 " I was treading the thin line of his patience while falling off the thin line of my sanity "
28 " I told him I was sorry. He sighed and held me closer, his lips against the shell of my ear, "You will be, Kitten". "
29 " Well, sorry pet, I don't want to be fixed. Whatever your little schoolgirl brain told you about men is absurdly wrong. This isn't a romance. You're not a damsel-in-distress and I'm not the handsome prince come to save you. "
30 " The intensity with which he stared at me bordered on obscene. "
31 " I wanted him to say nice things to me, maybe even hold me. Strange did not begin to define my mood. "
32 " He kissed me everywhere, not like before, not angry. And God help me, it shouldn't have made a difference, but somehow it did. "
33 " Could she sense her life as she knew it hanging precariously in the balance? Could she feel his eyes on her? Did she have a sixth sense for monsters? The thought of it made him smile "
34 " A million dollars? A bit much don't you think?""Fuck you." Caleb smiled, the self indulgent little shit. "My apologies," he mocked with a slight forward bow, "What I meant to say is: no pussy's that good. Though yours does come close. "
35 " Will you miss me Caleb?” I let my arm circle his waist. I don’t know what prompted it and instantly I tried to pull away. He held me still.“Yes, "
36 " Where is all your bravery now, Pet? No clawing, no hissing? Where's my though girl? - Caleb "
37 " Love. What the hell did that word even mean? It got tossed around so flippantly, by everyone. What did it really mean? After all this time and everything that had happened, was he even capable? "
38 " Oh yeah, Caleb thought, you're my bitch. Caleb's voice was sugar laced with arsenic "
39 " That you could fix me? What’s more, that I could fix you? Well, sorry pet, I don’t want to be fixed. Whatever your little school-girl brain told you about men is absurdly wrong. This isn’t a romance. You’re not a damsel in distress and I’m not the handsome prince come to save you. You ran. I went to collect my property. End of story "
40 " Only women were capable of being so fucking sexy you wanted to lick them clean when they considered themselves dirty. "
