Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I bet you say that to all the women you keep imprisoned for a year and then decide to marry.” “Every last one.”
“Well, this is cookie news if I ever heard it.”
“Clara,” he starts slowly. “You cannot just barge in here and talk dirty to me.”
“Clara, thank you,” Luren whispers. “You…you changed my fate.” Like a turn of the Wheel of Fortune.
“Doubting me is unappealing,” I say.
“Must you always be this frustrating?” “Yes.”
“You are insufferable. You are too talented for your own good. You are so—fuck—so arrogant at times and more stubborn than I have ever imagined a person capable of being. You are angry, fiery, passionate, often impulsive, and more determined than any creature I have ever met. And what’s worse is that—for as annoying as you are—you’re so gorgeous any sane man wouldn’t be able to take his eyes off you.”
“Must you always strive to get the last word?” “Only if I’m right.”
You are somehow better and worse than I could’ve ever imagined—everything I needed and the last fucking thing I wanted.”
“I’m not a monster,” he says softly. “Even if I must act like one sometimes.”
“Come.” With only his fingers curled around mine, I almost think I could right then and there.
“You’ll never be done with me,” Kaelis says with all the arrogance in the world. “I will haunt you from this world into the next.”
“My real name is…” I rasp. He leans closer still. “Lady Go-fuck-yourself.” I bring a knee up into his groin, hard.
