“Gods, woman, you are impossible,” he growled. “Get under the cloak. You look half dead, and I can see you shivering.”
I love the witty banter between these two😍
“Goddess above,” I mumbled, praying for patience. “No one has ever found me as interesting as you seem to.” “Clearly, no one has been paying enough attention,”
“You look less like a corpse today, at least,”
“Still grumpy like one, though,”
“Maybe I’m grumpy because you called me a corpse,”
“I said you looked less like a corpse,” he corrected, smirking when I continued to scowl and crouching down before me. “Will breakfast improve your mood?”
“Maiming you would improve my mood,” I said, shaking out my hair to remove the twigs and leaves and rebraiding it a little more tidily.
“I prefer you not bite my head off first thing in the morning,” he replied dryly. “Especially if we will be forced to spend several mornings together.”
“I’m sorry,” I said irritably. “I’m not used to hiking all over the woods with annoying men and their pets for hours at a time.”
“Should I carry you, your highness?” he asked. “Or perhaps you would prefer a nobler steed?” he added, gesturing to the large wolf standing next to him.
“You know, you are the whiniest witch I have ever met,” he said, looking down at me with a smirk.
“I wasn’t annoyed that you picked me because I didn’t want to kiss you.” “You weren’t?” I breathed. I felt his lips turned up in a slight smile, still unbearably close to mine. “I was annoyed,” he said, “because I didn’t want the first time I kissed you to be in front of an audience.”
“Something about you makes me lose all capacity for rational thought.” “Because I make you so angry?” I pressed, leaning into him a little. “Because you make me want things I shouldn’t be wanting, Red,” he growled, sending a shiver up my spine.
“I think we’ve both known for a while now that my interest in you is no longer about the necklace,”
“I would do practically anything for you at this point, Red,” he said, brushing a thumb over my nipple again. “Just…promise me you’ll remember that.”
“Let them hear, Red,” he said, tilting my face up to his again. “I want the whole city to hear you scream my name. To know you’re mine.”
