“Everything beautiful, everything bold, everything breathtaking - that is what I feel in her gaze. That, and terrified. Terrified of what she is doing to me. She is a vision, a nightmare, a dream. A grim reaper clad in black, come to steal my soul and my heart. I've never seen something so beautiful, so bold, so blatantly wrong for me. She is a devil. She is a deity. She's a man's downfall in human form. She is my downfall. Then her eyes drift to Kitt. The connection snaps. And I'm left feeling empty besides the jealousy growing inside me. Why did I ever think I could have her, ever think she would have me? Because beasts don't get the beauty.” RecklessKai AzerPaedyn GrayLauren Roberts Author:Lauren Roberts

“Tell me you hate me, and I'll still count every heartbeat, every freckle, every shiver of your body, if only you say it with a smile. I may be a monster, but if you cut me, I'll bleed. And if you break my heart, Pae, you'll break me. So, if even a sliver of you soul longs for mine, I'll spend the rest of my life trying to deserve it.” LovePowerlessRecklessMonsterKai AzerPaedyn GrayLauren Roberts Author:Lauren Roberts, Reckless
“I wanted her to be formidable. Recklessly bold. Powerful despite ability." I stare at him, taking in each word. "I am none of those things," I whisper. He drops my hand to brush gentle fingers beneath my chin, raising my face up towards his. "You are much more than those things." "You overestimate me." "No. I just see you.” RecklessKai AzerPaedyn GrayLauren Roberts Book:Reckless Source: Reckless
“The setting sun drips with golden rays across her face, blue eyes burning bright against the vibrant red of each poppy. It's hard to believe that something so beautiful would willing stare at the likes of me. I feel undeserving of her gaze, of the way her eyes roam over my face. I shake my head, still staring down at her. "Don't look at me like that." "Like what?" she asks softly. "Like I'm worthy of being seen.” RecklessKai AzerPaedyn GrayLauren Roberts Book:Reckless Source: Reckless
“Every touch, every dance, every kiss disguised as a distraction was anything but. Because before I loved her, I longed for her. She was a want I wasn't worthy of. And I'm afraid I'll never get the chance to deserve her. Because now that I have her, I'm giving her away.” RecklessKai AzerPaedyn GrayLauren Roberts Book:Reckless Source: Reckless
“And let's pray they don't." I stuff the reins in his hands, suddenly too curious to steer. "I didn't peg you as the type to pray, Prince." I feel his shoulders shrug against my back. "I didn't used to believe in a God." "And now?" There is a long pause followed by a softening of his voice. "I found proof of a paradise." I glance over my shoulder to find his eyes already on me. "And what was that?" His gaze glides over my face and down the length of my braid. "You'll know when you see it.” RecklessKai AzerPaedyn GrayLauren Roberts Book:Reckless Source: Reckless
“But his tone is familiar, feeling like dancing in a dark room and thumb wars under willow trees. The way the words rolled off of his tongue felt like a light flick to the tip of my nose, like calloused fingers braiding silver hair. It felt like Kai. Like the man behind the masks who looked at me like I was extraordinary. I blink at the crumbling rocks crowding the path, willing my mind to wander toward anything but the words that have me wishing things were different. But I am Ordinary. I am the embodiment of the weakness he has been taught to hate. Ordinary.” RecklessKai AzerPaedyn GrayLauren Roberts Book:Reckless Source: Reckless

“Still contemplating on drowning you, actually." My voice is breathy, my own fingers wandering over the curve of his jaw. "Oh darling, I already am." His lips inch closer to mine, teasing me. "And I'm begging you to let me breath you in." I smile slyly. "I thought you never begged?"

“My attention back on the smirking boy before me, I give his chest a good shove. 'So much for pretending, Prince.' ... 'I'll have the rest of my life to pretend with you. But for now, I needed to keep you alert.' 'You were distracting me.' ... 'And I will happily be your distraction from pain. For as long as you need.' ... 'It's not the pain I need a distraction from. It's the memory of what I did.' ... 'I know.' His voice is saddened with the weight of understanding.

“It's stiff, the fabric hugging my hips, making it impossible to move freely. "Go on." It's Kai's taunting voice I hear behind me. "Ask for my help, Gray." I roll my eyes at the wall in front of me. "Stubborn, remember?" I hear Kitt's chuckle before I feel hands brushing my legs. Startled, I look down, eyes landing on a bent head of messy black waves. Kai is gripping the bottom seam of my dress, his eyes flicking up to mine. "May I?" His voice is soft, tone amused. I swallow, roll my eyes once again, and nod against my better judgment. And then he's ripping my dress. He tears the fabric easily, creating a slit up the side of my thigh, freeing me from the tight confines of the fabric. His rough fingers briefly brush my skin as he says, "I am more than willing to rip your dresses for you, Gray. To help, of course." Kitt snorts while Kai smirks. "You only need to ask." "Why ask when you're so eager to offer?" Kai's laughter follows me as I finally pull myself up, arms burning with the strain.” HumorFunnyFlirtyKai AzerPaedyn GrayKitt AzerRipping Dresses Author:Lauren Roberts, Powerless
