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

by Amber V. Nicole

True love is worth it. It’s worth fighting for. Remember that.”

“At this point, I’m starting to think the violence is foreplay for you.”

“I think this act you portray will only suffocate you. Burying feelings hurts no one but yourself. You will drown in the tide you are trying to subdue, slowly and painfully. You will end up truly numb. That will be a grand mistake and not only just for you.”

grief comes in waves and patterns. It flows, ebbs, and returns, claiming its way through the chest, the heart, and the brain.

“Smart, Samkiel, so fucking smart. Teach her how powerful her legs are so she can kick your ass.”

My second thought was I had never really counted the number of floors we had in this building until I fell through each and every one of them.

“Is this us flirting? You yell and toss me through a few stories when you don’t get your way, or perhaps you’ll drop another building on me.”

“Always with the tone of surprise. There is no place in this world or the next that you can hide from me, akrai.”

We can do this dance until this world burns and the next takes its place, but I will still choose you.”

That’s where a god’s heart lies, and mine already belongs to you, so do with it what you will.”

“You’re a fool if you think I would be happy in a world where you did not exist.”

So yes, regarding her, where she is staying, and what will happen to her, it is not your concern, nor will it ever be. As I stated, she is mine.”

All I knew was that my mind was my prison, and I was the jailer with the key. A key I didn’t know how to use, and to be honest, I didn’t know if I wanted my cell unlocked.

“I told you before I would show you eight ways to make you forget that hideous friend word. Tease me again, and I shall show you twelve, and after your little display, we’ll start in the bathroom,”

Surprisingly, it was quite challenging to drown a god.

I didn’t want to pretend the world was fine when it wasn’t.

Grieving is another form of love,

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

He deserved so much more, so much better than me. Yet he looked at me as if he would rip the world to pieces for me, and I knew I would do so much worse for him.

Was I too late? Had he decided I was too much work? Too dangerous? Too broken?

Love was nothing but magic in its purest form.

“Sometimes you retreat so far in your head I’m afraid I can’t reach you.”

“there is no life with you in it that would be horrible. Horrible is living without you.”

“I need you to understand what you’re doing. What you are asking for. I know what I said before about you using me, but I lied. The second I touch you, once I take you completely, there will be no other. I will not share you. There will be no other lovers. I am not Kaden. I will demand you and only you. Do you understand? You mean too much to me. If we do this, you are mine, and I will not share you.”

Words? He wanted words? My mind was putty. I wasn’t sure I even remembered language when he did that.

I was so tired of being used. Being unwanted. Being alone.

“You are better than any destiny.”

How much godly dick can she take before she breaks?”

“You’re like her own personal chew toy,”

“You always ask me questions after you ravage me because you know I’ll say yes.”

“There is no force in this world or the next strong enough to keep me from you. Do you understand?”
