Kindle Notes & Highlights
“While I would like to think your powers were unlocked because of how well I fucked you, I think learning of your heritage is the true cause.”
He places his palm on my cheek, his large hand cupping an entire half of my face. “There are a lot of secrets we will have to keep, agápi mou, but this …” He presses a soft but possessive kiss on my lips, and I melt into him. “This is not one of them.”
What I do know—and what I allow to comfort me now—is that the universe bringing Ophelia to me, to all of us, will only ever be a blessing.
“Elementai are the only creature strong enough to bear vampire children. That is why they were hunted to extinction and why no vampire has been born in over five hundred years.”
“Ophelia is staying with me tonight.” I have to force out the next words. “But that does not change what you all have.”
“I’m a vampire, baby. Standing here in my boxers with a raging boner while I make my elementai girlfriend waffles. Nothing you say could sound crazy to me.”
“You are the most powerful being in this room, Ophelia. Quite possibly the entire world.”
“You remind me so much of someone I used to know, Xavier.” His voice is thick, and his eyes are full of something new. Hurt? Longing?
“I believe that the earth is the key to the most ancient of powers. It was here before water, before fire, before air, and even when the earth as we know it is done, parts of it will live in the cosmos for eternity.”
“Yeah. The sooner she gets a handle on them, the sooner the poor girl can get her rocks off. She’s like a pressure cooker right now.”
“Not for a fraction of a heartbeat. I would choose you in every single lifetime, little one. Every single one.”
Our girl has so much fucking empathy for other people. Xavier rubs his chest. It would be adorable if it didn’t give me constant fucking indigestion.
Just because you could not keep me in your bed, Enora, do not dare to assume you know anything about me or my boys.
This is so much more than love, Ophelia. More than a bond. More than I have ever felt. Love cannot endure a thousand lifetimes. It forgets and it fades. You and I are eternal. You have conquered my heart and stolen my soul. Do not insult what we have by calling it love.
It is the life-affirming, eternally beautiful reunion of two halves of the same soul. A soul forged from the atoms of the universe billions of years ago, when the world was still blinking its newborn eyes at the first sun. I have surely loved her before, and I will find and love her through every incarnation until the end of time itself.
“Ophelia Hart.” His menacing tone sends a shiver down my spine, but in the best possible way. “One day, I am going to give you the spanking you deserve.” Oh, yes please. For the love of all the demons on hell and earth, spank her fine ass.
She’s being nice to me. Paying me a compliment even, so why do I feel so intimidated? Because you do not believe yourself worthy of her friendship or her adoration, little one. But I assure you that you are. Of that and so much more.
“If we only feed chaos, then there is no hope of finding peace.”
Although I have always thought the notion of cruelty to be so very subjective. Is it really cruel if what you do is for a higher purpose?
