I Too Like To Live Dangerously Novels & Stories

"It sounds silly, but it helped us pass the time." "I don't doubt it." Dante leaned back, the picture of casual insouciance. "What would you liken me to?" A dragon. Glorious in his power, terrifying in his anger, and magnificent even in repose. "If you'd asked me before our truce, I would've said an ill-mannered boar," I said instead. "Since we're being nice, I'll upgrade you to a honey badger." "The most fearless animal in the world. I'll take it."

"That's quite exhausting, isn't it? Knowing too well that everything could go wrong just at the slightest wrong move." Chen's jaw became stiff, but he didn't move. "Be careful with words, Mr. Hartford." "Nah. I kind of like danger," I replied softly. " The sort that had the power to make your heart race a million times. That makes one feel so...alive." This made him narrow his eyes suspiciously, and at same time, intrigued. "You said alive, huh?" "Don't you feel that too?" I asked, releasing a little tears in my gaze. "Or do you in anyway only feel alive when everyone thinks you're untouchable?"

I wаnt tо hарру forever. I nеvеr wаnt tо lеt hіm go. But I need tо lіvе in rеаlіtу. This man is gоrgеоuѕ, but unѕtаblе. Hе mау wаnt me, but hе dоеѕn’t truѕt me. This соmbіnаtіоn is dаngеrоuѕ.

Take it from me. “V, we only have one life. When that life is taken, that's it. You can't go back and live the way you wanted. What this means is that you don't want to have regrets about things that you should have done and didn't do. So, why don't you love dangerously now? I spoke out of turn when I told you to exercise caution. After all, you exercised caution and that was why you ended up with a sleazeball like Connor. Caution? Toss that into the wind. Everyone deserves to have that earth shattering love once in a lifetime. Carpe Diem.”

Dangerous, yes, but not frightening. I turn my throbbing head back to Mr. Tall, Dark, And Deliciously Dangerous, tilt up my chin, and start sassing. This is my dream, and I’m going to decide how it’s going to go. Plus, I don’t want to wake up before I get to the good parts. My life has seriously been lacking good parts lately.

"But you like the danger that comes with it, don’t you?." I couldn't argue with that because he was right. I did like it. I liked the danger, the thrill, the wrongness of it all.

If enjoying life is a sin, I’m definitely destined to go to hell. I love my life, everything is perfect and there is nothing that could ever stop me from achieving everything I want because everything I want is within my reach. Nothing is impossible for me. But… I also think I'm a bit like Icarus and with my last decision to enjoy my life, I totally flew too close to the sun and all my precious wings got burned. The descent was sickeningly horrible.

"Live a little dangerously." He studied me for a long moment, his dark eyes intense. "So....what exactly brought this on?" I'd prepared for this question, crafted the perfect half-truth. "I've spent my whole life playing it safe, Raf. Getting perfect grades, following rules, being the good girl everyone expects. I'm tired of watching life from the sidelines." I took a breath that caught painfully in my chest. "I want to do things that scare me. That make me feel alive."

“I grew up watching what selfish men can do.” Right. This isn’t new territory for him. It’s history. “And you,” he adds, eyes locking onto mine, “ you need to stop going out alone for now.” My heart skips. “That’s a little extreme.” “Is it?” he asks calmly. ''i dont know what he's capable of so i'm not risking anything.” I don’t have an answer. Because he’s right. And I hate that he’s right. “I don’t want you dragged into this,” I say softly.

I screamed in fear . I could see the shocked look on his face " I saved you from danger ,and is this how to thank your saviour? If I wanted to have your blood ,I would have done so the moment I met you lying on the floor unconscious where some wild pack might find you and kill you instead " he held my wrist tight which made me feel pain. " You're hurting me "I winced. Our eyes met ,and again I felt that same connection I had felt earlier" yeah right , everyone thinks we're evil , but we're not "he said in a very low tone which I hardly heard.
