Kindle Notes & Highlights
look up through the trapdoor, assessing my jump when Kai steps behind me, ducking his head so his chin nearly rests on my shoulder. “Too stubborn to ask for my help, Gray?” “No,” I say coolly. “Too strong to need it.”
“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.”
“So, you just want me? No powers?” “Yes. I just want you,” she breathes, annoyed with me. My mouth twists into a crooked grin. “I knew you wanted me, Gray.”
Gray?”
I keep reading this as "Gary"
The fine line between deadly and divine.
“Then don’t think I won’t throw you over my damn shoulder and carry you out of here myself. Is that what you want?”
“If you knew how to follow orders, I wouldn’t have to throw you around like a rag doll,”
“Promise me you’ll stay alive long enough to stab me in the back?” I laugh loudly. “That’s been my goal all along, Prince.”
She’s a flame, and I’m going to get burned. An ocean and I’m going to drown.
“Remind me to make you smile like that again, when you aren’t dying, and I have all the time in the world to memorize it.”
“Because I don’t tolerate my toys being played with.”
“Oh, I’m not making you do anything, darling. You can leave me to bleed out if you must. Because I only want your hands all over me if you want them to be.”
She’s so stunning, yet so stubbornly oblivious to how the sunset behind dulls in comparison to the vibrance that is her.
“I think that I notice everything you do. So, no.”
I’d never thought about what my favorite color was before. It never seemed important. Not until I looked into a pair of ocean-blue eyes and realized that perhaps drowning was a beautiful thing. Not until I looked into a pair of fiery blue eyes and realized that perhaps burning was a painless thing. Not until I looked into a pair of sky-blue eyes and realized that perhaps falling was a peaceful thing. I’d never thought about what my favorite color was before because I hadn’t seen one that was worthy of the title. Until now, that is. “Blue,” I say, my voice low.
“I could get used to you being a gentleman, Azer.” He’s quiet for so long that I think he might not respond. But when he does, I hear the smile in his voice. “And I could get used to being one for you, Gray.”
“It’s not the winning I find fun. It’s you, darling.”
CHAPTER 50 Kai
Ahhhhhhhhh
Everything beautiful, everything bold, everything breathtaking—that is what I feel in her gaze. That, and terrified. Terrified of what she is doing to me. She is a vision, a nightmare, a dream. A grim reaper clad in black, come to steal my soul and my heart. I’ve never seen something so beautiful, so bold, so blatantly wrong for me. She is a devil. She is a deity. She is a man’s downfall in human form. She is my downfall.
Because beasts don’t get the beauty.
