21 " We been through a lot and you earned a piece of my heart, babe. It’s all yours and always will be.”- Knight. "
― Kristen Ashley , Creed (Unfinished Hero, #2)
22 " I’ll take this. I’ll take this every day and every day I’ll know in the end I beat that bastard. He might not have been alive to see it, but I bet his goddamned, motherfucking ass.”Seriously, he was hot when he was being all vengeful badass. "
23 " Shut your fucking trap, Hawk "
24 " Bottom of my soul,” he whispered across the room, eyes locked to mine. I sucked in breath through my nose before I whispered back, “Bottom of mine. "
25 " But me, my jeans, tank, boots and socks, commando and braless, walked right out the door and, like we had many, many times before, we took on the night. "
26 " Baby,” another voice came into my ear and this was my man’s, “shut the fuck up, concentrate and don’t sit there muttering into your tits makin’ it look like you’re waitin’ to fuck over some asshole. He sees you doin’ that shit, these guys we’re hunting will take you out and tonight is not my night to lose you. "
27 " Come back to me,” I begged, the tear slipping over my eye and gliding down my cheek. "
28 " It was cool to wake up knowing your day would include someone else in a way that was integral to life. "
29 " How you feel about marrying me?" he asked in my ear. "
30 " You feed your cat once a day?” he asked, and I stopped opposite the bar and planted my hands on my hips. “Yeah,” I answered. “She says two,” Creed informed me. Shit. He spoke cat. This was not good. Gun knew all my secrets. "
31 " I would work with him to make Knight’s troubles go away. In the meantime, I could jump a hot guy whenever I felt like it.This was not a bad deal. "
32 " some people get to live life. some people survive it. We're survivors. We can carve out our pieces of happy...But we're foolin' ourselves if we think we can set aside the shit that happened to us, the shit done to us, the shit we've done and move on. It'll be with us forever. We just gotta learn to live with it. We bury it, deny it or pretend it isn't there, we're fucked. It'll surface and tear us to shreds. We acknowledge it and keep on keepin' the fuck on, and we'll be good. "
33 " I’m not a big goof. I’m a badass, even with a squirt gun. I totally kicked both their asses. "
34 " Shit. He spoke cat. This was not good. Gun knew all my secrets. "
35 " Then he made love to me on a bed of rose petals. Seriously. "
36 " It was my experience anyone could work anything. A man or woman could be what convention said was ugly or overweight, and if they held their shoulders straight, looked you in the eye and had a ready, genuine smile, that shit melted away. The light shone from within, and if you had the balls to shine it, all anyone would see was beauty. "
37 " Stop being smart and logical. It’s annoying. "
38 " It meant more to him to take care of me as my man than it meant to me to retain my status of badass. "
39 " It was my experience the only people who didn’t tread cautiously with badasses were kids. They adored badasses and had no qualms approaching or engaging them in conversation. Badasses were kid magnets, and if the badass was a true badass, he had no qualms about this either. "
40 " I know I have a vagina, but that doesn’t negate the fact that I have a brain and a spine, so I can make my own decisions about my life and deal with the consequences. I’m also not real big on dudes talking about my shit behind my back. "
