Kindle Notes & Highlights
Please suspend your disbelief for this monster fucker book. It’s a book about fucking mermen. Let’s not get into a scientific conversation about whether the bends would happen or if she could die doing half the stuff she does.
She might not know it yet, but that achromo was his. And he intended to take her.
And oh, he hated that he had the momentary thought that she might even be lovely.
She was a rare and delicate creature, if a little ugly, and he had captured her.
Considering how hidden everything on this achromo was, he could only assume their pleasure was different. And the mere idea of chasing it with her was a heady rush to his head.
She’d explained how fragile they were, and that worried him. So, she couldn’t stay in that cave. He couldn’t keep leaving her there when the cold and the wet could kill her. He’d never had a more difficult pet in his life.
He was handsome. She was interested in a strange way, and all of this was hard to think about.
Not for me #builtdifferent
“Everyone needs to be taken care of sometimes, you know?” He didn’t. But looking up into those strange eyes, even if they were surrounded by white, he wondered if it wouldn’t be too bad to be taken care of by her.
Outside of the home, he’d found two skeletons. One that was clearly of her people, the bones of her legs had been eerily interesting. And laid out next to her were the bones of one of his own kind. A massive male, with a tail nearly twice as long as Arges’s, speaking of his age and power. They had been curled up next to each other, almost as though the sea didn’t even dare move their skeletons. Together, even in death.
“Hearts?” “I have two.” Arges brought her hand to first one, then the other. “One beats for my people, and it will never stop beating for them. But the other beats for you, Mira. I’m sorry it took me such a long time to realize that.”
“You hold my soul, kairos. Keep it safe for me.”
“Fuck, woman. You shouldn’t react like that when I tell you I murdered someone for you.”
“You are a gift from the sea, Mira. A rare pearl I am so lucky to have found. I do love you, you know. More than anything else in this world. You hold my soul in your chest. Wherever you go, I will never be far from you.”
