“It’s all right to admit it, little viper. You liked hurting me.” A moment’s silence, and then she says quietly, “You liked being hurt.”
And certainly not my increasing desire to lie down in front of my beautiful prisoner and let her put her foot on my throat.
“Sometimes I need to be reminded,” he murmurs. “Reminded of what?” I whisper. “That I am enough. Even when I’m not.”
Every worry and plan in my head blurs into smoky shadow, while she takes on vivid color and exquisite detail.
My enemy gets hard when I choke him, and choking him makes me wet. How perverse is that?
Women always assume I want them subservient, kneeling before me. They don’t understand what I truly crave.
This man who must stay strong, who must always maintain appearances before his people—he longs to lose control. To be broken down and ruled by someone else.
He wants to be ruled by force.
“Put your foot on my neck.”
I hate you for being the only one who has told me the truth.”
“I hate you for making me crave your admiration, your touch, your glance,”
Angrily I slap his cheek—a light smack this time. “Quit asking to die.”
My entire body and brain are celebrating the fact that Aura is kneeling astride my face.
I can’t breathe. But if I pass out while she’s coming on my face, I will count myself inexpressibly fortunate.
It’s my choice. You gave me control, and now I’m using your body.”
“What terrible thing transformed my dominant mistress into a creature who hides under covers?”
All I want is to pull her close, fold my arms and wings around her, and keep her safe. I want to soothe her sore heart with kisses. I want her to feel protected and loved and strong and whole.
“What’s a little hug between enemies?”
“It’s perverse how much I want you.”
there’s a reckless violence in me, a monster that wants to bruise and bloody him while I fuck him.
“You ruined my life, you beautiful fucking bastard.”
“Be my goddess of doom, of vengeance. Kill me, and set yourself free.
“I don’t believe you just because you’re pretty and you have a beautiful cock.”
“Your thoughts look painful, little viper. Would you like to forget them for a while?”
She is the blend of sweetness and violence I’ve always wanted in a woman.
If only one of us can survive, I want it to be her.
Mine, mine, he’s mine, I need him, I want him...
I only know that I’m drawn to her, that I like her as much as I lust for her. That her absence would wound me and her death would destroy me.”
“I believe that’s called love, my King.” “It’s terribly inconvenient.”
“I’ll be your last meal, Princess. Yours for an hour, to use as you please.”
“I’ll hurt you if you promise to hurt me back.”
“Fuck me like it’s the end of the world,”
You’ll go into your cursed sleep full of my cum. Is that what you want?”
Fuck everything and everyone else. Fuck the Edge, the Void, and the curse. Fuck the whole realm—let it be swallowed into oblivion. I’ll suffer the End gladly, if only I can have a few years of joy with this precious woman.
“Are you my beautiful whore?” I say softly. “Yes, Princess,” he breathes.
I miss the way she hurt me, and the way she understood me.
“I am the monster who cursed you, little viper,” I whisper. “And I am the supplicant who adores you. If my imperfect, wretched, diseased love can save you, take it. Take it all.”
“I trust you.” “And you love me?” “And I love you.”
“You and me, fighting and fucking for the rest of our lives? It’s all I’ve wanted since I met you.”
“I love you beyond reason, with all the persistence of revenge and all the violence of hate.
“You’re my savior, my goddess. Allow me to worship you, little viper. I will eat this beautiful pussy, and then you will eat dinner.”
I am loved. Me. Loved exactly as I am, with all my mistakes and my darkness.
She and I may have saved the realm together, but she alone has rescued my soul.
I love you beyond reason, with all the persistence of revenge and all the violence of hate. I love you into the deepest dark and under the harshest light.
