Iron Flame (The Empyrean, #2)

by Rebecca Yarros

I lock my shields in place just like Xaden taught me and fantasize about shoving Dain off the tower.

Please shove this reincarnation of Gale off the tower.

“I know what really happened. You got my brother killed. He died for you.”

Violet, girl you do not need another enemy...

“I do not participate in parlor tricks,”

Idk what the equivalent to alcohol is for dragons but Tarin's grumpy ass needs it.

“Stop playing around and end it,” I say through our bond, using it for the first time since Resson. “Always so violent.”

*Kicks Feet*

He’s killed people for me before, so why is him fighting for a weekend pass stripping every ounce of self-control straight out of my bloodstream?

“Yes, whenever you want, because I’ll live with my mouth attached to yours if I do it whenever I want.”

*places book over face and kicks feet*
