41 " I’m not your fucking priest. Everyone’s sorry just before they die. How many times did she ask you for mercy? How many times did she apologize? "
― Keri Lake , Ricochet (Vigilantes, #1)
42 " Why are you keeping me?” … “Because I can’t let you go yet. "
43 " You must be a fucking masochist to want anything to do with me.”Her hand slipped beneath my shirt, making my stomach muscles clench on contact, and her eyes locked with mine. “Or maybe I see something deeper than the darkness you wear on the surface. "
44 " I’m tired of always having to be in a state of constant control. Control of myself. What I say. My actions, for fear that what I do or say will result in punishment.” My words arrived fast, tumbling from my mouth before I had the chance to stop them. “I want to lose control … Help me. I want to lose myself with you, Nick. "
45 " When you come, Aubree, I want you to come apart,” he told me. “Explode into a million pieces. Scream my name so loud, this whole goddamn city will know who’s fucking you. "
46 " She’d become my willing victim, my muse, my toy to act out my most twisted carnal desires. No going back. "
47 " The bastard owned me, which was saying something because nobody owned me. Not anymore. "
48 " I’m tired of always having to be in a state of constant control. Control of myself. What I say. My actions, for fear that what I do or say will result in punishment. "
49 " It’d become a battle between my mind and my dick. "
50 " Someone’s gotta take care of your ass. Not like you found yourself a woman. "
51 " beauty isn’t meant to be coveted. It’s only to be admired. "
52 " You see? It’s not like it ain’t practically falling in your lap. And by it, I mean clean, straight pussy. Lots of it. "
53 " People marry for different reasons. Mine had nothing to do with love. I’ve lost my faith in romantic love. I don’t believe in it anymore. "
54 " I’d forgotten the taste of a woman, forgotten the smell of arousal beating through my senses, like a war drum begging for her to be debauched. I needed to feel her shatter around my tongue, to feel her milk my finger with orgasm, and hear her screams fracture inside my head. "
55 " I’d hold out for that sweet sound, would push away the blackness just long enough to know I’d sated her. "
56 " Explode into a million pieces. Scream my name so loud, this whole goddamn city will know who’s fucking you. "
57 " I’m not going to force you, but I promise I won’t hurt you. "
58 " The stars in the sky Unhidden by night Souls of our loved ones Guide us by sight But when dawn breaks Bringing day’s light Remain in our hearts And all wrongs become right. Below it, written in silver cursive against a black splotch, it read: I’ll see you in the night … "
59 " But, beauty isn’t meant to be coveted. It’s only to be admired. "
60 " I’d walk through the flames of hell for you, Aubree. Burn for you.” Lowering my hand to her stomach, I skimmed my fingertips across her tiny bump, where my future bloomed inside of her. “Both of you. "
