Viciously Yours (Fae Kings of Eden, #1)

by Jamie Applegate Hunter

“You will always be someone else’s villain, whether you deserve the title or not. Your duty is to ensure their hate is unjustified.”

“We will move back. I will follow you anywhere, little mate, even to hell if that’s where you wish to go.”

“I don’t need a line to know what’s considered good or bad, but if I did, there isn’t a line I wouldn’t cross for you.” He lowered himself and brushed his lips against hers. “I will write your name on my chest with the blood of any man who tries to covet what is meant to be ours. Innocent or not.”

“Stop threatening to kill people,” she whisper-yelled, calming slightly at his touch. “You can’t murder someone for not liking me. You would likely have no kingdom left.” He straightened and shrugged. “It would be easier to manage.”

“Where did she touch me?” Amelia faltered, a bit of her anger giving way to confusion. “What?” “Where did she touch me?” he repeated, punctuating every word as he held out his arms. “I was distracted. Show me exactly where.” Her eyes turned to slits. “This isn’t a fucking joke, Rennick.” “I’m not laughing, love.” Annoyance pulled at her mouth. “Your right arm.” “Where on my right arm?” She stared for a moment and touched his upper arm lightly. “Here.” Leaning down, he removed a dagger from his boot, held it against his skin, and sliced downward, flicking his wrist outward to remove a thin layer of skin.

“Anyone who says they’re scared of hurting you on purpose is warning you.”

“I am where I have always been, love: at your feet, waiting for you to claim me as your own.”
