Kindle Notes & Highlights
I didn’t give a shit what her name was. Mine was the only name she deserved.
She had left me. She had left me when she hadn’t really wanted to. That meant someone else was pulling her puppet strings, and that wasn’t going to work for me.
I told her she would never, ever be free from me, and I fucking meant it. Whether she had killed me or not, I would have returned to haunt her—and that’s exactly what I planned to do.
She thought I was awful when I hated her. She’s about to learn just how horrible I am in love with her.
The Fates themselves couldn’t stop me from getting to that woman, and anyone that got in my way would sorely regret doing so.
Would she fight me when I got to her? Probably. It didn’t matter. She was as deeply in love as I was. She just might not know it yet. I would make sure she knew.
“I need her, Walter. I’m inescapably in love with her.”
“You are an alluring rose with secret thorns. A droplet of rain fighting to quench and to drown,” he said, looking deranged and enthralled all at the same time. “You are my only care in life.”
“What happened is you infected my soul and placed yourself in an exceedingly dangerous position. The sole person I would ignite the entire world for is tied to the one person I would give an entire world to burn.”
“What do you not understand, Calypso? I will lie, cheat, steal, and kill just to be close enough so I can taste the spent breath from your lungs. You are my only soul. Without you, I am merely a hollow cavity of flesh, a ghoul that will haunt and track your every step and gambit. Whether you accept it or not, you and I belong together. No two creatures were ever made more perfectly for one another,” he whispered against my lips while his hands held my face tightly.
“You are everything to me, Caly,” Mendax said through a shortened breath, his hand pulling at my hair. “I’m going to be rougher with you, pet. Will you be a good girl and take it?”
“I will return for you,” he whispered. “From the deepest corner of Tartarus, I would return for you.”
“Mendax is rolling over in his grave with a stiff dick somewhere right now,” Walter said, looking much more relaxed with the scene before him than Eli.
