The Throne of Broken Gods (Gods & Monsters, #2)

by Amber V. Nicole

“I dislike being apart from you this long,” I called to her.

“I am not fond of others touching what’s mine.”

“If you wanted me on my knees, Dianna, all you had to do was ask. You know that.”

“Come home and teach me what you do like.”

A lock on a door in a house rattled.

Oh, yes. You fucked up, Dianna. You kissed me back, which means my Dianna is still in there, buried under all that grief and hate.

I have seen the best of you, Dianna, and now I have seen the worst. I am not leaving. You do not scare me.”

“You are my whole world.” He looked up at me, and my heart shattered. His once vibrant gray eyes had darkened as his skin paled. “I-I haven’t stopped thinking about you since I met you. Being with you, I finally felt what I wanted and had searched forever for. You woke me up and gave me reason. You made me feel like I was enough. I never felt like the World Ender with you. I never felt less. You are what I’ve been searching for my entire life. You, Dianna, had my heart long before I ever touched yours.”
