Kindle Notes & Highlights
‘What should I call you, Wildfire?’ The word slipped from his lips before he’d even thought it, for that was what the woman was – a living flame, both in her violent actions and the streaks of red through her burnt-umber hair.
‘She was trying to kill you.’ ‘Some of the best sex starts that way, my young apprentice.’
‘I hope she sticks a knife in your back.’ ‘With a face like that, I might just let her.’
‘Drue Emmerson, at your service, Warsword.’
Queen
She’d seen every inch of his front – why not give her a glimpse at the muscled curve of his backside while he was at it?
Haha i already love him
‘Don’t we read to escape our own realities?’
What a man
But Wilder shook his head. ‘I’m saving that for something more important.’
Oh we know hehe
‘If you need words of comfort, perhaps remember this: there are all kinds of darkness in this world. Some good, some bad, and some with no agenda at all. It’s what that darkness means to you and what you do with it yourself that matters most.’
Sometimes, to love someone, we have to let them go. And that sometimes, in order to go where we need to, we must turn away from one path, onto another…’
‘Even though it has led to so much heartache?’ she pressed. ‘It led me to you.’
He's so smooth
‘But I’ll wager there have been plenty who have fallen in love with you.’ ‘I’m not concerned with others.’
Mhmhhh that's what we like to hear. Yes sir
Drue rested a callused palm against his bare chest. His heart thundered mercilessly beneath her touch as she looked up at him. ‘Kiss me,’ she said.
Im happy hahha
Talemir ran his thumb over his lips, the memory of her mouth on his etched into his mind, strong enough to last a thousand lifetimes. No matter what came to pass between them now, he was tethered to her, and her mark upon him would remain.
‘I want to see you come undone.’ Her throat bobbed as she inched towards him. ‘As you undid me…’ At those words, Talemir went molten. ‘You can have whatever you want from me,’ he said, suddenly hoarse, his breath catching.
Gods, he wanted her. Had wanted her from the moment she’d threatened to carve out his heart on the northern perimeter. There was no need for that now – she already held it in her hands. It belonged to her.
‘She’s no ordinary woman,’
‘Touch her again,’ he said, leaning in, crushing Coltan to the wall behind him, ensuring the punishing grip mirrored his words. ‘And you die.’
‘How is it that in a world leached of colour, I see you brighter than the sun?’
Omg im getting emotional now
‘You are a spectrum of colour in the shadows. You pull me back towards the light…’
She was the glowing beacon in the harbour of obsidian. She was the flicker of flame that met his shadows.
So romantic i can't!!!
‘Since the moment I met you, I have felt like I was soaring. With you there is no ground beneath my boots, no rail to hold on to, and for a time there, I fought it with all my might… But no more. I’ve let go. And Wildfire, it’s more than I could have ever imagined. With you, I didn’t fall in love. I rose amid it, stronger than ever before.’ Talemir took a trembling breath, baring his soul like he never had. ‘I love you against all reason.’
Fuck my life
Love didn’t happen once, she realised. It happened every day, in little moments, in the quiet gaps between grand words, in the lingering touches, in the hope it promised in the dark. Love was something that breathed and expanded, that was made and remade, again and again, reforged only to become stronger.
‘My place is by your side. Now and always.’ Tears pricked Drue’s eyes, and she kissed him deeply. ‘Then love me,’ she commanded him. ‘Love me in your shadow form.’
Arghh to be on love! Cant relate hahaha
‘The darkness took a lot from me…’ Drue kissed him soundly, desire already reawakening within. ‘But it also gave me you.’
‘I was yours from the moment you vowed to carve out my heart, Wildfire.’
Im unwell
