King (Alliance, #2)

by S.J. Tilly

So, really, it’s mostly her fault.

Is it really? I think it’s your fault considering you literally kidnapped her 😂

“Yeah, fine. But if you try to sell me some oils to center my aura, I’m gonna shoot you.” I hang up. “Dick.”

They funny

King lets out a grunt a second before my butt hits… a lap.

No way he caught her omg

“You…” He looks up at me with the most stunned expression I’ve ever seen on his face. “You had me ordained?”

NO WAY HAHAHH

My fist clenches and I pull my arm back. I’ve never punched someone. But I’m about to try. An amused expression crosses N’s face, and I put the rage it causes me into my swing.

Let’s gooooo. I fucking love her bro

“I can see why you want to marry her.” N chuckles from his place against the wall. I glare at him. “What’s not to love?” King’s tone is nonchalant. Like that’s why we’re getting married. Because he loves me. Not because… I blink some more. I don’t even know why he wants to marry me.

“Do you, King Bartholomew Vass, agree to take Savannah Jane Oates as your reluctant wife? In sickness and in health. In rich and richer times. Do you promise to be a faithful captor for as long as you both shall live?” “I do.”

This is so fucking funny

“And do you, Savannah Jane Oates, take King Bartholomew Vass to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to be cooperative and faithful? To be the best wife you can be? To not slit King’s throat while he sleeps?”

Bro Nero is funny LMAOOOOO

the way the man is looking at me crawls under my skin. King’s large body moves between me and the man. “When the certificate is ready for you to sign, I’ll have someone bring it out to you,” King tells him, sounding calm. “But if you ever look at my wife like that again, I’ll remove your eyeballs from your skull.” He pauses. “Understand?”

Hell yeah

Savannah looks up at me before addressing Cici. “Hi, Cici. I’m a prisoner here.”

Love her

I’m almost surprised to hear her ask, “When?” “Last night.” Her eyes move around the room. “How?” The side of my mouth pulls up. “Disgustingly rich, remember?” “Why?” Her voice catches, and I’m already striding across the room, capturing her face in my hands. “Because I can. And because the world needs your art.”

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Three people behind me try, and fail, to muffle their laughter. I lean a little closer, trying to see her features in the dim light. “Are you drunk?” She shakes her head. “High.” I sigh. “Hi, Savannah. Have you been drinking?”

Hahaha

“Can you give me a piggyback ride?” More poorly covered snickers. When she turns back to me, she has such a pleading look on her face, I just sigh. “Fine.” Her smile is pure. And it makes me feel like an absolute asshole.

Ugh I fucking love them

We both watch as the man starts to run away from us and from the gunfight in the warehouse. “We could run him over,” Nero offers. I shake my head. “I’m not denting my Suburban.” “Well, I’m not chasing after him.” Nero crosses his arms. “And he’s getting away.”

😂😂😂😂

“Hey, Coconut.” Nero punches me in the shoulder. Hard. “How many fucking times do I have to tell you to stop calling her that?” “At least once more, apparently.” I rub at the spot, even as Payton smacks his chest. “Or you could quit being such a little bitch and let it go.”

😂😂😂

I force myself to let go of her, just as Nero and Payton walk up. “With me,” I tell Nero, and he peels away from his wife, stepping into stride with me. “Who’re we killing?” His tone is casual.

I love their friendship dude

Nero’s hands slide out of their pockets, and I see he’s got a switchblade in one, the tempo of his song slowing to a sinister soundtrack. “No killing him, remember?” I remind him.

Nero is insane hahaha I like him more in this book

“It’s just Orlando.” “I don’t know Orlando. So I don’t trust Orlando.” I make sure to emphasize his stupid name. “Promise I’m trustworthy.” Orlando tries to smile when I raise my gaze to him. I keep my eyes on his. “I broke the arms of the last man who touched my wife.” Orlando’s eyes widen as his smile falters. And I think he believes me. As he should.

Crazy dude 😭

Her shoulders lift. “Not necessary.” Then she pulls one hand out of her pocket, holding a slender pale-pink vibrator. “Oh, and also, just so you know,” her other hand releases the knot holding her robe shut. “I’m already on birth control. Since you brought it up last time.” Then the robe drops, and she stands before me, gloriously naked.

She’s such a fucking BOSS. A BADASS BITCH LOVE HER

“Honey.” He cups my chin, keeping my eyes on his. “I’ll tell everyone about your art because I’m fucking proud of you.”

I’m gonna cry

Nero slowly moves his gaze over to meet mine. “You cut his dick off.” My head tips from side to side. “Technically, that’s true. But it wasn’t the plan.” Nero scrunches his nose. “And it smells like sex in here because…?” “Because my wife is cooler than yours.” Nero’s eyes move back to Pony. “I don’t think I want to know.”

😂😭

“Uh, ew.” I gesture to the body and the growing pool of blood beneath it. “This was after.” Nero turns to head up the stairs. “I don’t want to know.” “Dude.” I follow him up. “It’s not like we fucked on top of Pony.” “I said I don’t—” “We just fucked in front of him.” Nero throws his hands up. “I don’t want to know!”

HAHA

Savannah is afraid of me.

You’re so fucking stupid. She’s in pain you idiot

But she’s not gonna be all right. Not while she’s with me.

He’s getting on my nerves now

And then, when this part is done and I leave, I drown my sorrows. Only every day it takes more to numb the pain.

You’re so fucking stupid I swear. Men

“Let me guess”—before Nero even starts, I know it’s time for a new best friend—“you’re over there beating yourself up over what happened. And instead of facing the facts head-on and getting the fuck over it, you’re being a drunk dumbass.” He makes a humming sound.

Facts. Nero is speaking straight fucking facts

“And, I mean,” Nero continues, “I’m sure there’s all sorts of other weird shit you guys do that I don’t want to know about.” “Fuck off.” I reach out and end the call.

I love them hahahahaha

“Men are idiots.”

Preach girl

I don’t deserve any part of her.

Talk to her stupid ugh so annoying

And before she can say more. Ask more of me. I push the door shut. And lock it.

So fucking stupid
