Beyond the Aching Door (The Fatebound Duology, #1)

by Victoria Mier

Every day, Raegan got a little closer to strangling people who didn’t think headphones were necessary in public spaces.

“But you do understand I could simply wipe those away? With the water? In the puddle? That you summoned me from?”

Occasional check-ins on her sanity seemed normal, but sitting on the couch and torturing herself over it was useless.

“Is it enshrined somewhere in Fey code that you have to be an absolute dick all the time?” Raegan demanded,

She scolded herself internally, but it was too late: she liked making him laugh, and she was probably going to try to do it again, despite her better judgment.

He began to roll up his sleeves to the elbow, revealing powerful forearms roped in coiled muscle.

SLUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The King made a low sound of consideration from somewhere deep in his chest that did not help dissuade Raegan from wanting him to slam her into a wall and fuck her as hard as he could.

“Well done,” he murmured, a rumble in his chest. Then his large, powerful hands were upon her.

SCREAMING!!!!!!!

“Beautiful,” the King said, only just louder than a murmur, and Raegan had no idea if he was speaking about her assault on the Protectorate man or . . . her.

Get you a man who is pathetically in love when you stab another man

“You are my deepest wound,” Oberon murmured, his eyes searching hers. “And yet I cannot live without the taste of blood in my mouth.”

Two little words shouldn’t corrode it. Neither would fucking. Don’t look at me like that. I’m no fool.

Dick so good it drove her insane
