Kindle Notes & Highlights
“And to think this will be us every day.” His voice had changed, swallowed too much smoke. “Is this really what you want by staying here? To be on my lap for the rest of your life? Feeding me your blood like a good little bird?”
“I love the shape of your mouth when you beg.” The delight in his voice was too much. “But don’t deny me those dark eyes of yours. They have a language of their own.”
“Your hatred burns like ocean ice. And it’s entirely… mine. I’ve never owned something so completely.”
Susenyos watched her with a glass resting against his lips. “You’re dangerously becoming irresistible.”
His strength seeped into her, and she tasted the immortal dark, wet and wanting her. It had been waiting a long time, and damn her, she could no longer deny it.
“Try not to die, little bird. The house might just be unbearable without you.”
His face grew shadows. “No. You’ve lost what you were fighting for, but you’ll find a new purpose. You’ll wake that terrifying love and loyalty I’m jealous of and use it well.” His lips stretched when her eyes creased. “And God help us all if we’re considered unworthy when you do.”
