My mouth is on her neck, my hand between us yanking my belt open. Her nails rake through my bloody hair, digging in so hard, it hurts.
“You turned on by blood?”
“I’m turned on by watching you fuck people up,”
“You’re in luck. I’ve got a list of people to fuck up,”

this scene made me question my mental health (not really hehe~)

HOT AF 🔥

The soft tip of her finger touches the tattoo on my ribs. A flash of pain ripples through my memory. It’s a brand, underneath the ink.

“I did some bad shit. I was the one who hurt people,” I say. “Brothers might seem harmless, but he’s just like any other crime lord. Some of the things we did changed my fucking brain.”
Her throat bobs.
“Brothers said something to me once. He said, ‘guilt is a funny thing. It’ll make you mean if you let it’, and I never forgot that. He was right.”

😭😭 my poor heart

“We’re animals, Della,” I say. “People aren’t good. We’re conscious, evil animals. We’re not above anything. We’re below it—hell, animals wouldn’t do the shit we do to each other. That’s the only thing that makes any sense to me, after the things I’ve seen.”

!!

“I was a kid, and you…you were old enough to know that.”
“I regret that,” he says finally. “If I could go back and change things, I would do it in a heartbeat.”
“I could kill you,” I say finally.
“I’d be honored.”
Nothing is more frustrating than hating someone who won’t fucking hate me back.
“God, you never stop, huh?” I run a hand over my face.
“Love is a terrible thing,” he says.

My life is good, beyond my wildest dreams.
Until it isn’t, and everything crumbles in a single night. On horseback, with only a revolver on my belt, I head west to cowboy country and never look back.
Fuck Holly.
Fuck Kentucky.
And most of all, fuck Brothers Boyd.

“What’s your name?” I ask.
“Brothers,” he says.
“Say what?”
“It’s Brothers Boyd,” he says.
“Brothers is your first name?”
He nods. “Yeah, what’s yours?”
“Jensen,” I say, “Childress.”
