Burn

I don’t believe I asked for a glass of your unimportant opinion.

What bothers me is that health professionals give fancy names to conditions or learning difficulties that will irritate the patients; like OCD not being in alphabetical order, putting an ‘S’ in ‘lisp,’ and making dyslexia a word that no one can spell. It’s just mean.

I miss you, all right.” “You should. I’m fucking awesome.

Why are you still smiling? You’re supposed to fear my mighty wrath.” His shoulders shook with silent laughter. “In case you can’t tell, I’m petrified.” “You will be if my mighty wrath is ever unleashed. Stop laughing!

I just think that if someone has a problem with me, well it’s their problem to deal with. Why should I feel bad about it? I’m not responsible for what other people do or don’t feel.

Harper was also a person who preferred to avoid complications. Like parking tickets, speed restrictions, and red lights – which was why she no longer had a driver’s license.

I won’t come back to you for a number of reasons – primarily because you seem to think that monogamy is a shade a brown.” “I apologized for that. She meant nothing to me.” “Which is exactly why it should have been easy to turn her down. But you didn’t.” “So let’s shout this out so we can move forward. Slap me. Kick me. Call me a dog.” “Why? Dogs are loyal.

But even if it was, two wrongs don’t make a right. Your parents have proved that.

Look, I might biologically be a sphinx, but I’m an imp in every other way that counts. That means I’m unmanageable, stubborn, secretive, I don’t like rules, and I make people tired and irritated – and I take pride in it.

Are you threatening me?” “I don’t like rhetorical questions.

I’m assuming Mona did something I need to know about. Tell me.” Be a tattletale who whined to people’s Primes? “No.” “No?” Knox echoed with disbelief. Evidently, he wasn’t denied things often. Well, Harper did like to introduce people to new experiences. It was more of a calling, really.

Don’t think I haven’t noticed that you don’t wear the necklace I gave you with the fishbone charm on it. It’s for good luck.” Harper frowned. “How can it give good luck? Things didn’t exactly go well for the fish.

Sooner or later, you’ve gotta sleep. Then I’ll kill you.” His laugh did not improve her mood at all.

You’re a very strong personality, Harper. You would only be attracted to someone who’s either stronger or equally strong.” It pissed her off that he’d read her so easily. “And you think you’re stronger, don’t you?” “What I think is that when I’m deep inside you, neither of us will care.

Why are you still smiling? You’re supposed to fear my mighty wrath.

What bothers me is that health professionals give fancy names to conditions or learning difficulties that will irritate the patients; like OCD not being in alphabetical order, putting an ‘S’ in ‘lisp,’ and making dyslexia a word that no one can spell. It’s just mean.” Harper

You’re mine. I don’t walk away from what’s mine.

You matter. So much that you’re a vulnerability, a weakness. But I’m keeping you.” Knox framed her face with his hands. “Nothing is more important to me than you.

You’re not supposed to smile at me like I’m a little kitten that stupidly thinks it’s a jungle cat.

I’ve apologized for that a million times.” He inhaled deeply. “I miss you, all right.” “You should. I’m fucking awesome.

Either you’ve got your tampon in too far or something’s bugging you. Which is it?

Do you feel empty inside? I mean, like, in your skull?

He’s right,” Levi told her. Harper sniffed at the sentinel. “I don’t believe I asked for a glass of your unimportant opinion.” The guy just smiled. “Knox, can I bite her?” “No.” If anyone would take a bite of that ivory skin, it would be Knox. His demon was in full agreement with that.

You strike me as someone who prefers it when people are upfront.” It was true that Harper had no time or patience for mind games. “So?” Knox leaned forward, wanting her to see the resolve in his expression. “I want you.” And Harper nearly choked on her steak. When she’d finally swallowed it down with the help of her wine, she shrugged. “Thanks for sharing.” “You want me.” She cast him a glare, but didn’t deny it, which soothed his demon slightly. “But you’re going to fight aren’t you?” Every step of the way.

You can do better. But…it’s too late for you. I told you before, you belong to me. I won’t let you go.

No one can be firmly marked anything, baby. No one’s all good, and no one’s all bad.

No.” “No?” Knox echoed with disbelief. Evidently, he wasn’t denied things often. Well, Harper did like to introduce people to new experiences. It was more of a calling, really.

I know you’re a dominant control freak who likes to always have his way.

You know…Riding the flagpole. Roasting the broomstick. Going deep into the bush. Pounding the punanni pavement.

You’re a tenacious fucker, aren’t you?
