Status Updates From Old Habits (Old & New, #1)

“Don’t bother. I work tonight.”

“No, you don’t.” Her gaze snaps to me.

“How would you know? I’m not the one you watch like the fucking Hope diamond.”

“If you ever let another man put his hands on you, you better make him dig a nice deep hole first so I can bury him in it afterward, because that's what will fucking happen. I will not look the other way. I will not call it even. I will fucking bury him."

"If you think I'm gonna stop using this perfect fucking pussy because of some bullshit, I'm afraid you're mistaken, Harper. Sadly... fucking... mistaken," he says, punctuating each word with a punishing thrust. “God himself couldn’t keep me out of this pussy.”

WHEEW.

“I swear to god. I'd sell my fucking soul to have you, Harper. Don't you get it? I was hers, but I had to fucking have you. No future I planned with someone else could stop me."

He knows the SUV is heading straight for him, but the crazy bastard doesn't look away from me. My heart does a somersault.

"Kai, you're gonna get fucking hit!"

"You know what I want, baby. What happens next is up to you."

"I'll text you."

"Can you call?"

I look up questioningly.

"He... monitors my texts."

I scowl, angrier for myself than her. He's never monitored my fucking text messages.

Fucker.

Violet offers a faint, almost apologetic smile. "Sorry if I startled you."

She's apologizing to me?

"Sorry I've been fucking your fiancé."

“I really thought I'd hit the fucking jackpot when I found him. It hurts to be this wrong. So fucking disappointing.”

“I'm tempted. He knows it. Maybe the only way to escape this temptation is to kill it.”

“I can't breathe. I came here thinking she was the other woman, but... I think I am.”

“I imagine she's considering slamming it shut and locking it, but she doesn't want to be rude. We're nothing alike. I think that's what stings most.”

“Why does she get the big, beautiful house with the front porch swing, and I get bruises on my neck and a split lip?”

Oh bitch.
