“I’d set the world on fire, including myself, if it meant saving her.”

Shantel Tessier,
The Ritual
“I want toxic. I want madness. I want someone who makes me question my sanity.” ― Shantel Tessier, The Sinner
“Even the devil catches feelings, or he wouldn’t go into rages. Even he knows how to love.” ― Shantel Tessier, I Dare You
“When I burn the world down and they ask me why, I’ll tell them the devil asked me to do it. And I wanted to make him proud.” ― Shantel Tessier, The Sinner
“Now, I’m not a religious person. Obviously. But I do know this. When I am damned to hell, it’ll be because I fucking earned it.” ― Shantel Tessier, I Dare You
“They say love is patient and kind. I’m not either one of those things when it comes to Blakely.” ― Shantel Tessier, The Ritual
“Just know this, Blake. If you try to run from me, I will find you. And when I do, you will regret the day you left me.” Softening his eyes, he gives me a threatening smile. “You were mine yesterday, today, and tomorrow.” He gently kisses my forehead. The tenderness a contradiction to his threatening words. “And you will continue to be mine forever.” ― Shantel Tessier, The Ritual
“I can’t guarantee that I’ll grow old with her, but I will spend every second of every day that I’m alive proving to her that she comes first no matter what.” ― Shantel Tessier, The Ritual
“Fuck, I love you,” he whispers, his hand wrapped around my neck, crushing the chain into my already sensitive skin. “Remember that when I rip you apart.” ― Shantel Tessier, The Ritual
“I’m willing to be her devil as much as she’s willing to be my little demon.” ― Shantel Tessier, The Sinner
“I ended up going after her, but she was the one who brought me back. This woman is incredible. And I’m the luckiest man to call her mine.” ― Shantel Tessier, The Ritual
“Some people are lucky in life and some aren’t.” ― Shantel Tessier, Dash
“Love? It doesn’t sound so foreign anymore. If loving someone means you’d burn the world to protect them, then I love her.” ― Shantel Tessier, The Sacrifice
“Do you ever just want to shut it all off? Not have to think about the next second of your life? Go on an unplanned road trip? Have a one-night stand with the cute guy you scrolled past on your timeline? Social media makes you think you have all this freedom, but you don’t. Not really. You’re stuck behind a device watching others live out their dreams. You post selfies of fake smiles and expensive clothes, hoping that someone will envy you. Reassure you just how good you have it. All the while hating your life. “Smile, dear, you never know who is watching you,” ― Shantel Tessier, The Ritual
“my wife and I are a team. A Lord and a Lady.” ― Shantel Tessier, The Ritual
“You live for me now.” He licks up the side of my neck to my ear. “And I for you.” He thrusts in a second finger, and I suck in a deep breath from my nose, closing my watery eyes. “You serve and obey me. I protect and own you.” ― Shantel Tessier, The Ritual
“I've been so dead set on making everyone see you as mine, but I didn't realize until tonight that all along I've been yours.” ― Shantel Tessier, I Dare You
“Anyone can love something that is pure and whole—perfect. But destroy something, then stand back and see how many people give it the time of day. Or how many will take the time to help it heal. No one will. I know from experience. I’ve seen it. I’ve lived it.” ― Shantel Tessier, I Dare You
“We’re like the devil is to sin. Without one, we wouldn’t have the other.” ― Shantel Tessier, I Dare You
