But stars are far more fun to stare at than a ceiling.
Men would likely go extinct without women to coddle them.
Perhaps you may not need powers to be powerful.
“Every girl deserves something equally as pretty and deadly as they are,”
And just like that, I am suddenly, annoyingly intrigued.
“Both your mind, as well as your body, need to be trained. Conditioned,”
He fears what he cannot control.
His deep voice makes my name sound so rich, so regal, as if I’m the one with royal blood pumping through my veins.
We stare at each other for a moment, his icy eyes sweeping over my flushed face and doing nothing to cool it.
“Mark my words, Prince, I will be your undoing.” I lean in, ignoring the knife against my throat as I murmur, “Oh, darling, I look forward to it.”
“Too stubborn to ask for my help, Gray?” “No,” I say coolly. “Too strong to need it.” His next words are murmured close to my ear. “That’s what I like to hear.”
“I am more than willing to rip your dresses for you, Gray. To help, of course.” Kitt snorts while Kai smirks. “You only need to ask.” “Why ask when you’re so eager to offer?”
“Oh, darling, as long as you still think I’m pretty, I don’t give a damn what I look like.”
His stare is like a caress, and he takes his time. I refuse to squirm under that piercing gaze, knowing how he would love to watch me fidget.
Everything about him is lethal. That smile. Those eyes. That cunning mind of his.
“Are you sure you’ll be able to focus on dancing, or will I be too much of a distraction, darling?”
I expect him to reach out and pull me into a dance, and the thought has my heart pounding, has me preparing to feel his hands on my body.
She is the embodiment of a bad decision. The twin of danger and desire. The fine line between deadly and divine. And I can feel myself drowning.
We fit together perfectly, pieces of a puzzle snapping into place. I shouldn’t let myself relax into his touch. Shouldn’t let the tension ease from my body when he holds me. But I can do nothing to stop it. Utterly and completely powerless.
I’ll never deny myself the chance of watching you watch me.”
“You have a choice, Kitt. You always have a choice.”
“Yes, well, you’ll find that I often ask questions that I shouldn’t,”
“Your questions, your thoughts, your contradictions—I want to hear them all.”
She’s bewildering as much as she is beguiling.
She’s confusing, captivating, and we’re completely wrong for each other in all the right ways. She’s a flame, and I’m going to get burned. An ocean and I’m going to drown.
And then calculated chaos ensues.
