Kindle Notes & Highlights
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.
Malum Mendax’s body had been built for war, muscles coiled and waiting for an attack, wanting it. Eli reminded me of an athlete, still large and muscular, even powerful…but missing something.
I didn’t give a shit what her name was.
Mine was the only name she deserved.
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.
“I cannot watch you for another minute without touching you. It will kill me,” Mendax growled into my neck.
“You should really stop that, Calypso. I’ve had a lot of time on my hands to miss this body of yours,” he stated in something of a command and a whisper.
“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.”
“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,” he groaned into my neck before grabbing my wrist roughly and stopping my massaging hand. “And you’re very, very wrong. I do want to hurt you. I plan on it. Why do you think I’m here?”
“For forever you are mine. I alone own you. Do you understand that yet?”
“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
“Fuck, Caly. I would die for you all over again if it meant I got to watch you in this moment,”
“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 want to come? Then admit it: say it out loud, and I’ll let you come, my pretty little hellhound. Admit you are in love with me,”
“I was going to be gentle with you, pet, but I’m starting to think that’s not what you really like. Do you want me to be rough, Caly?” His deep whisper felt like a threat.
Yeeeeeeeessss!!
“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.”
“This cunt is dripping wet, Caly. Am I supposed to believe you don’t need me after feeling this? You’re a liar.” He said it with cocky grin as he pressed two fingers inside of me and dragged the other hand down my outer thigh, leaving scratches in his wake. “My filthy, fucking liar.”
“Keep taking me, Caly. I want to watch your face when you feel me inside of you, filling up every part of this lying cunt with cum. Then I want to watch it drip from this decadent pussy. Come for me, my goddess. Come on my cock,” his gravelly voice pleaded.
“I will be anything for you. I love you, Calypso, and if I need to fight the Unseelie prince for you, then he should be warned. Every battle we’ve endured prior will be nothing compared to the lengths I am willing to go through to ensure you are happy and safe—with me.”
“You taste like sadness. Or a rainy day that doesn’t know light should be in the sky,” he whispered against my lips. “Allow me to be your umbrella, Cal. Let me keep the rain from touching you ever again.”
How much more could a person take? Was this what love was? I wanted to rip my own heart out and put a blade through it.
Awwwwwww baby
“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,”
You need to learn as much as they do the power you hold over them…over me. I will not leave you here without me until they understand—you are the one in control while I am gone. They are both fighters. They will respect and bow to your every whim and command if you dominate them. They have no control over you or anything that you do. Butterflies
“My queen, touch yourself while we watch. Our attention is fully yours.”
“I’ll eagerly die loving you, Calypso,” he said, grasping my hip and pulling me forward so the base of his cock pressed against me.
“Unlike Mendax, I do not need you to take the throne in order for me to become king. I need you as my wife…it just so happens that makes you a queen.”
You kind of ate with that
“I’ve told you from the beginning, there was nothing that would stop me from returning to you,” Mendax answered.
