I had only two things on my mind: cheese and how to get home.
I love a good first line!
My self-preserving habits made me a bit of an outlier with the other girls in town. “Who wouldn’t want to go off on a grand adventure with a bunch of hot heroes also chosen by the goddess?” Me, bitches. No, thank you. Biceps were nice, but so was not having my guts eaten by an orc.
omg! I love her already!
“So who did this, then?” The intensity of his dark eyes had me at a loss for words for a moment.
"who hurt you" trope
you are mine,” he growled low in his throat. “I will dispose of anyone who impedes that.”
"you're mine and I'll kill anyone who says otherwise" trope
I am a strong, independent woman. I run my own segment of the renowned Hotpepper farm, and I pay my own bills. I was absolutely not turned on by that.
lol
What is wrong with me?
denying your feelings trope?
If there were monsters that would attack in the night, they could eat his ass first.
lol
“Could you give me a hand with this?” Turning back, I saw my demon standing there with an astonished expression on his face.
welp, he's done for! Most mythical warriors have a dangerous girl kink, and she just murdered an alligator with one swipe of a knife, butt naked.
“Yes. And in those four days, I’ve met your parents—” “You threatened my parents.” “Semantics. We’ve saved each other multiple times, been naked together, and I saw you kill a giant lizard with zero hesitation.” He reached over to snag me around the waist and pulled me to him. “That last one sealed the deal for me, to be honest. I’ve always wanted a fierce mate.”
called it! I thought maybe he'd deny it for a bit longer but it barely took 5 minutes for him to propose, lol!
Only I wasn’t traveling with a hero. No. I was the lucky sucker saddled with a villain.
I believe what you have there is an anti-hero, or a good bad boy
Maybe I wasn’t traveling with a straight villain. Perhaps he was just villain-adjacent. I could work with that.
lol
A small smile graced his lips. “Every scratch,” he whispered, his tone gentle and comforting, “every bruise, I will pay back in fire and blood.”
continuation of the "who hurt you" trope. love it! also, the fire makes more sense now
Fallon had already stood and walked away from me. His large form seemed to vibrate as a black mist swirled around him. The fog grew larger and larger until a bone-chilling roar rocked the very earth beneath me. All at once, the black smoke shot up into the sky until a long, serpent-like form grew out of it. The creature weaved through the air like the night sky, coming to destroy the sun itself. Obsidian hair flowed down the creature’s long back as it twisted itself around the entire square. Dangerous curved horns adorned its head in a crown of horror.
Your horses can fly now,
❤️
It doesn’t matter anymore, so fuck it. Piracy.”
lol
How old are you?” “One hundred and twenty-four.” “Ah, so you’ve only got one hundred years on me! You old fart,” I teased.
age gaps trope in the usual direction
“I can be your villain,” he whispered.
Woooo!
“I want to hear you say it.” Damn him. “Yes.” “Good girl.” His voice was deep and rich, like chocolate drizzled over cake.
is saying "good girl" a trope too? idk also, a new trope is making consent sexy
Oh gods. He slashed Fallon. Panic rose in my chest at the thought of him hurt.
oh is it time for our heroine to save her big strong man from certain death?
But please, if there were real gods or anyone writing this story, could you make a happy ending, please? We just… I can’t take the thought of anything else. I’m not strong enough.
ok that's new! a prayer to the author? lol! I love this
“How quick do demons get hitched?” I asked, exasperated. “Do you just see each other across the room and know, like some fated mate type shit?” “Yes,” he answered simply.
lol, I think she reads the same kind of books I do. now she's pointing out tropes
dragons can scent out our mates. That’s not to say there’s no choice in the matter. You weren’t technically mine until you took my magic, but I knew you were mine as soon as you freed me from the curse.”
“Why didn’t you just tell me?” He chuckled and pulled me closer. “You were a human, terrified of demons. If I came on like a buck in heat, would it have helped?”
and there's the "I can't tell her we're fated mates, it'll scare her human brain out of her mind" party of the trope
“Um. Yeah.”
I absolutely love that she doesn't get pissed off that he didn't tell her, that she is too strong to get freaked out about it
“Oh, the troubles I go through for my wife.” A thrill went up my spine at his words. “Am I really? We don’t need to have a ceremony or register with the church?” “Darling, we burned down the church.” “Oh yeah.” No idea how I forgot that.
lololol
His massive claws slashed out at Glen, ripping his arm clean off.
again with the arm ripping? lol
