Okay. Look. Don’t judge me okay. We’ve all been there….

*Sigh*

Let’s just get into it.

Top 5 villains that I will forever think about as years pass.

Jericho Barrons 

Jericho “I said, Say please.” Barrons. The OG who walked so the new kids on the block could run. I would let this (non)man run me over with one of his fancy cars and run home to tell my mom about it. I don’t know any one else who knows this series, but so many moments, quotes, and scenes run through my head on almost a daily basis.

One for example:

“Even I don’t know what you’re doing, and I know everything.”-Barrons

Or, this one:

“Barrons had just given me the most carnal, sexually charged hungry look I’d ever seen in my life, and I was pretty sure he didn’t even know he had done it.”-Mac

This book is basically the blue print for enemies to lovers. The slowest of slow burns. I drank up every last page; and I usually have very little patience with most slow burns.

Xaden Riorson 

Xaden “Everyone.” Riorson. Xaden “Ask nicely, Violence.” Riorson. I don’t know what to really say about this man that’s not I would pay an ungodly amount of money just to get my ass beat on the sparring mat by him. He’s the kind who will ruthlessly kill anyone who fucks with those he loves, but isn’t actually evil, I wouldn’t consider him a villain. Anyone who’s read this book knows. Icy, brutal exterior; vulnerable, soft interior. He loves deeply and often puts himself in harms way to protect others, but will come out of battlefield with a body count so high that everyone is kinda (absolutely in every way) terrified of him. But at the same time everyone kinda (absolutely in every way) wants to fuck him.

“You think I’m the villain? Maybe I am, but sometimes the villain is what you need.”-Xaden

I mean come ON. He even says it himself!

“Danger isn’t something I fear, it’s something I command.”-Xaden

I just added that one cause it’s so good. Safe to say the whole “save a dragon, ride a wingleader” slogan is a way of life.

Landon King

LANDON “Break it.” KING. Now HE is someone who could spit on me and call me a bitch and I’d squeal like a schoolgirl. Now look, between all of the Legacy of Gods men, this was a hard choice. They all felt like an awakening in my twisted little soul. but Landon? Mmm. Mmm. Mmmm. Psychopathic, master sculpture, genius IQ, mixed with ruthless anarchy, and completely fucking sexy. I drool over this fictional man any chance I get, no shame.

“I don’t cause trouble; trouble caused me.”-Landon

Landon made me question seeking help for being so into some freaky ass shit, but none-the-less, it was hot. Here’s to fiction, am I right?

“Your provocations are a turn-on, so unless you’re in the mood to get on your knees and choke on my cock, I’d suggest you refrain from making them so casually.”-Landon

Oh look at that, I have tears running down my legs.

Kharon

“Carissima.” Kharon. Ugh. I’m obsessed. Is it healthy? Absolutely not. Do I care? Absolutely not. He’s quiet, sarcastically dry, tall, dark, and handsome. Scary, sexy, ruthless, domineering, protective, and likes it rough. Another fictional (non)man that I have nothing else appropriate to say about. I would succumb to a back alley whore for Kharon, sorry, I would.

“He saw me looking and smiled with teeth. Then he slowly licked the flat edge of his bloody dagger.” – Main character speaking about Kharon.

Deranged and hot, if I could transform into a dagger… I would.

“‘Did they-take-pictures-of-you?’ he asked slowly, expression feral.”-Kharon

Be right back guys, currently drooling too hard to keep going.

Enzo Vitale

Enzo “I’m not the type of man you want to doubt.” Vitale. HE SWIMS WITH SHARKS yet is still the most dangerous predator in the ocean. Oh and also another enemies to lovers. Maybe I SHOULD speak to a therapist because I’m noticing a pattern here. Would he ever glance in my direction? No, not at all (partly because he’s fictional, but we all understand the bit here.) I would still be tripping over my feet for this absolutely mean, carnal, fucking unit of a male. My dignity goes out the door at one “bella.”

“Show me, bella, […] Show me where you hurt so I know where to love you most.” -Enzo

Enzo starts off pissed wayyyy the fuck off, and is spiteful and mean, but melts into a tender yet dominating presence that had me melting in turn. I mean my GOOD LORD this man has a way with words.

“Brava ragazza.” -Enzo

Such a simple sentence, but so damn powerful (for me at least.) Has me crumbling like a sandcastle during high tide.

That’s my top 5 villains that short-circuited my brain in the nastiest, freakiest ways imaginable. All of my pride goes out the door. Immediately. Have any of you all read these? If you have, what do you think?

I’m going to go reread all my favorite scenes now. Until next time!
