When he’s done, his enormous erection juts out at me. It’s hard not to be intimidated by it. I can’t stop staring. I lick my suddenly dry lips. “I don’t think this is going to work.” “It’ll work.”
“With Sinta definitively stable, we can focus on the next step.”
Griffin picks me up and carries me to the bed, lying down next to me. “I’ll bind you to me in any way I can. Sex. Children. Love.”
“Live together, or die trying.”
Happiness is a strange, frightening, fragile feeling when you’re not used to it.

“Eight years with me and one broken arm because she was overambitious with the acrobats. A few months with you and she almost dies! Repeatedly! What in the Underworld is wrong with you?” Selena.
My eyes fly open. I’ve never seen perfectly groomed, perfectly poised Selena lose her temper, and I don’t want to miss it.
She smells like blossoms and budding leaves, and I wonder if this is what it feels like to have a mother who loves you.
Selena leaves with Carver after delivering a series of grisly threats to Griffin. I don’t hear everything, but I hear enough to know he’d better not let anything happen to me.
