What Did You Do? (Infatuated Fae, #2)

by Jeneane O'Riley

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.

Sometimes you become the monster for the ones you love.

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.

“Never in my immortal life have I ever wanted anything more than I want to feel you under me right now, pet, but I am not a gentle, benevolent man. I have hurt others I barely desired, killed others because of my lack of control; others, I haven’t wanted a modicum as much as I crave you,” his voice whispered across my neck. “I won’t allow myself inside of you in that way until I can control myself enough to know you will still remain with me forever. Unharmed.”

“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.”

How was it possible to be so completely bewitched by a human? I called her pet, but it was I who followed behind at her heels. I was the one with the leash tied to her short, immortal life.
