1 " I’d rather walk a mile with a cucumber up my ass than fuck you. "
― Keri Lake , Ricochet (Vigilantes, #1)
2 " The stars in the sky are the souls of the people we love. They shine so bright, not even the night can hide them. And when we’re lost, they guide us. "
3 " Monsters did exist. They didn’t hide under the bed, though. They stormed through the fucking door and stole away everything we loved.To defeat a monster, I had to become one. "
4 " I saw darkness in her beauty, and she saw beauty in my darkness. Yin and yang. Black and white. Beauty and scars; fury and forgiveness. She should’ve been my nemesis, but in her, I found something I didn’t know I was looking for. "
5 " You’re a fighter. Your scars aren’t about the rounds you’ve lost. They’re about the ones you walked away from. The ones you survived. "
6 " It’s been three years since I’ve touched someone. I don’t want to give you pain with these hands. I just want to feel. "
7 " The stars in the skyUnhidden by night Souls of our loved onesGuide us by sight But when dawn breaks Bringing day’s lightRemain in our heartsAnd all wrongs become right;I'll see you in the night. "
8 " Every scar told a story, but it was the ones we didn’t want others to see that told a truth. "
9 " Shit seemed to get crazy the moment I whipped out my dick, like unleashing the goddamn Kraken every time I unzipped my pants. "
10 " The ultimate revenge isn’t the murder of my enemy. It’s the whisper of truth on my last stolen breath. "
11 " Outside the window, broken and abandoned husks dotted the landscape, set against the gray, dishwater sky. Scarred and beaten, the perfect metaphor for the people who lived within its forgotten neighborhoods, Detroit was like an abused kid, just waiting for the day someone would come along and give a fuck about it. The third world city of America. "
12 " You asked for dark. I’m going to give it to you … You are the violence inside of me, Aubree. My most exquisite destruction. "
13 " There was a time I’d feared the dark, but I’d since found comfort in it. Felt protected by it. "
14 " There was nothing normal or typical about our love. We should’ve been one hot mess of madness for all that we’d suffered, but just as a flower grows from the sky’s tears, our love grew from pain. It blossomed in darkness and thrived with time. "
15 " Apart, we were nothing more than two broken halves, but together, our jagged edges fit perfectly, sealed into something whole again. "
16 " Love was the only thing stronger than hate. Fuck, if I didn’t already try hating her once. "
17 " There’s little joy in life for me, And little terror in the grave; I’ve lived the parting hour to see Of one I would have died to save. "
18 " To defeat a monster, I had to become one. "
19 " I’d been used for so long, I’d forgotten how pleasurable sex could be.“I will obliterate any motherfucker who lays a hand on you again … I’d kill for you.”In his bed, amid the darkness, the destruction, the ruin, he fixed me. His gentle hands delicately fastened together the pieces of me that’d become so broken and scattered with no hope for convergence. As I lay beside him, the soothing tap of rain against the window, I felt whole. "
20 " You were never meant to be mine, Aubree. But I’ll take you. All of you. "
