Kindle Notes & Highlights
To you. The pleasure of a chapter is surpassed only by the torment of a story.
“I know that once you are in love”—he kissed her again softly—“and once you have bonded to another”—another kiss to her forehead—“you Slayers are incapable of stopping it or hurting the one you’ve chosen. It doesn’t matter how it destroys you.”
She didn’t belong in anyone else’s head but mine. Stars knew she had taken up every empty space of it in her absence. She was all I could think about.
If she and I were the only two left in all the realms, I wouldn’t care. I would rule her. I would worship her. I would punish her.
I heard once that if you are angry about something, it was really because you were sad about it. Maybe it was true, maybe it wasn’t. All I knew was that I was always angry, but if I let myself think about the reason why, I would cry until my tears drowned every bird in the sky.
I didn’t give a shit what her name was. Mine was the only name she deserved.
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.
I breathed out, preparing to see the princess again. It was touching how much Eli doted on her. It was a shame I had to kill her.
“You should really stop that, Calypso. I’ve had a lot of time on my hands to miss this body of yours,”
I wished I could have actually heard him say it like that…before he died.
“As frequently as I have been getting off to the mere thought of you, love, I would fuck you into the dirt under this castle,”
“You will touch yourself gently because I cannot. Do not move your hand from that spot until I command you to, my queen.”
“Be a good girl and listen to your owner, pet, or I won’t let go next time. I do owe you for stabbing me, after all.”
“Fuck, Caly. I would die for you all over again if it meant I got to watch you in this moment,”
“I want you to press your two fingers as deep inside of that needy, little pussy as they will go. I wonder how hard you’ll come for me knowing you lay beneath me, a smoke curl away from death. Rub yourself in a circle with your thumb,”
“You shouldn’t have left me then, Calypso. Maybe then I could be a bit more gentle. I wouldn’t have spent so many hours thinking about all the things I would do to you once I found you. How much I’d make you hurt. How hard I would fuck you.”
“You look like a goddess veiled in my cum,”
“The part of the game where I slaughter every member of the Seelie family that took you away from me, starting with the prince.”
What an absolute mess of a person I am. Dreaming about the enemy, the one who viciously terrorized my family, watching me finger bang myself?
You’re making this too easy, pet. Run.
“Do you know what happens to pets that run away from home, Calypso?”
“It’s—it’s a brown rat. A brown rat with sweet eyes.”
“His name is Walter,”
“I need her, Walter. I’m inescapably in love with her.” His mouth fell open as he stepped back. “She isn’t who you think she is. She killed me. She’s magnificent,”
“You don’t love me! What don’t you understand? You are the monster of death that lurks in their nightmares, and I was the fool tasked with destroying you.”
“I am nothing more than a soul without residence since you left me, and I refuse to bear a life without you. Should I die, let it be by your hand, so that your touch is what I remember when I haunt every single dwelling you inhabit. Soon enough, you will meet with me again in Tartarus.” His voice softened while his eyes steeled. “Go on, Calypso, make your life better and finish me off. For good this time.” His right dimple popped. “It makes no difference to me if I’m dead or alive when I chase you.”
“Inside and out, there isn’t a single part of me that’s soft. Especially when you are involved. You really should remember that.”
