Heartsong Quotes

“You hit your head on a stationary object at the first sight of Kelly. Ox once walked into that wall over there, and then he banged Jessie.” “That’s my sister,” Chris hissed at him, turning to glare over his shoulder at Ox, who seemed to be resolutely ignoring everything that was happening. “I know,” Tanner said. “But it’s true. And then he walked into the side of the house at underage Joe in tiny shorts. And he eventually banged him too.” I looked pleadingly at Gordo. He shook his head furiously. “Leave me out of this. I don’t know the first thing about—” Rico coughed roughly. It sounded strangely like bullshit. “You made heart eyes at Mark,” Tanner accused. “For years.” “I was trying to murder him with the power of my mind,” Gordo retorted. “I don’t do heart eyes. I don’t even know what that is.”

“Lunch,” I said. “I can do that. Like, you have no idea how much.” “Good,” Kelly said softly. “Maybe we can go to the diner?” I nodded. “Just … can you give me a minute? I’ll meet you out front. Don’t go anywhere, okay?” “I won’t.” He nodded at the others and turned back toward the sidewalk. I whirled around, eyes wide. “What do I do?” “He’s literally standing five feet away,” Gordo said dryly. I lowered my voice. “What do I do?” Gordo sighed and turned his eyes toward the ceiling. “I deserve this. For everything I’ve ever done, I deserve this.”

“He sighed against my lips, and I wondered if this was happiness, if this clawing in my chest was how I felt when we’d done this before. Because if it was, then I understood why Gordo had said I must have fought like hell. If someone had tried to take this away from me, the memory of him and the way he felt against me, I would have done everything in my power to fight back. Even as I felt consumed by him, a low, fiery hatred burned in the pit of my stomach at the thought that it had been taken from me. My pack. My home. My mate.”
