"…fuck Connor. Fuck everything. She was mine now, and I was never letting her go."
"My insides went haywire as he strode toward me. Could a body be set into flames from a mere look? Yes. Hell yes, we were talking about Deck here."
"Now, I knew, and I realized the tightness in my chest was gone. She was mine. Completely. Looking at her now, it wasn’t painful like it had been for years. Now, it was …freedom. For today—tomorrow. For-fuckin-ever." Deck
"Georgie was the good in me. Without her, I was sure I’d sink into the darkness of my mind and never emerge. She gave me the light to keep coming back. To crawl away from the evil I was surrounded by, the nightmares, the coldness, and she made me human again." Deck
"We’d always been meant for one another. Our paths had been running parallel for so long, trying to cross, yet the ghost of Connor and Robbie and even Kai kept us apart." Georgie
Another year gone. Another year filled with lies.
This was who I needed to be.
The perfect chaos.
My perfect world had just been thrown into destructive chaos.
This man...I would never have him, but I also knew I'd never deserve him. Deck was everything I wasn't and more.
We were a lot alike. I hid behind a false persona, and he blocked his out.
I was the girl who fell in love with him. I was the woman who still loved him and one day it would be my destruction.
You're my rainbow. The brilliant colors of you make me whole. Without your colors, I'm just a man living in the dark.
Deck... He was my only weakness and no matter what I did, I couldn't’ get him out of me.
I wouldn’t yield to anyone. But I did. I yielded to Georgie. I’d let her seep into my veins and take hold, and no matter how many men I killed or women I fucked, I couldn’t get her out of me.It’s obvious from the start that Deck and Georgie have strong feelings towards one another. There have just been situations that have held either of them back from pursuing it. Now Georgie’s secrets are out. And Deck knows the truth (or part of it) from the past. That was the best part of the story for me. Just waiting for that moment that Deck would say ‘fuck it, I’m taking my girl.’ I loved the build up between them.
She was mine now, and I was never letting her go.
“I won’t ever give up. I’ll find a way to keep you safe.”
"We'd always been meant for one another. Our paths had been running parallel for so long, trying to cross, yet the ghost...kept us apart."
"Why do you keep on saving me when all I do is disappoint you?"
"Connor wanted better for you. I want better for you."
I met his dark tormented eyes and said softly. "You're my better, Deck."
"You're my rainbow. The brilliant colors of you make me whole. Without your colors, I'm just a man living in the dark."
But there was a small part of me that wanted him to see me. Instead, he believed in the lie I'd become. How could he think I was that drunk girl who wasted her life away?
Then he kissed me and I was lost to the most soul-touching kiss a woman could ever have. It was filled with years of need and want and never being able to take. It was him and me finding our peace together. It was our demons being joined and burned to ash.
"Going to fuck you now"
I smiled.
"Okay."
"Wasn't asking"
I wouldn't yield to anyone.
But I did.
I yielded to Georgie.
I'd let her seep into my veins and take hold, and no matter how many men I killed or women I fucked. I couldn't get her out of me.
“You want to find yourself, Georgie?Deck lives a dangerous life and there’s no guarantee that he will live to see another day and confronting his feeling to Georgie will make their life worse, he doesn’t want her to live a life of uncertainty.
Get that part of you back that you lost?
Then stop running from it.”
“Connor wanted better for you.What happens when all the secrets comes crashing down? Will Deck and Georgie be able to survive this storm of lies, deceit and secrets to save each other?
I want better for you.”
I met his dark tormented eyes
and said softly,
“you’re my better, Deck.”
