Kindle Notes & Highlights
What are you hiding, my blood blossom?
"You look like pure sin," he whispers, drinking me in slowly. "And I've always loved sinning, darling."
I may even have to…mingle. Ew.
"Gods, baby. You have no fucking idea how much power you have over me. I could come just from your scent alone."
I look heavenward, wondering if the gods are enjoying this shitshow they're putting me through. They're probably all laughing their godly asses off.
"Yes, you are. You're mine, and I'm yours—end of the motherfucking story. The end. Get over it."
Disposing of bodies in mysterious ways is a fascination of mine.
But I keep staring at her because gods above, every tiny piece of herself that she drip feeds me only fuels the obsession.
But I see what you're really like, baby. You're so fucking adorable." She looks appalled. "I am not. Take it back."
"Aww. Good morning, Sleepyhead. You're so fucking cute." I open my mouth to inform him that I am many things—a liar, a monster, a stone-cold killer, a convict of the Nether, possibly a sociopath—but I am definitely not cute.
"Here's my own warning, Maven. You're my keeper. My mate. You could tell me to swallow a fucking grenade, and I'd do it. But the one thing you will never tell me again is that I shouldn't want you. You don't get a say over that. You're all I want, and that's not changing, so learn to fucking deal with it."
All my life, no matter what brand of hell I was trying to survive, I have known one thing to be true: to protect what's mine, I have to be brutal. There is no such thing as taking it too far if the people I care about are at stake.
Fucking gods above. My stunning little mate is kind of a sadist, isn't she?
"The gods are cruel, but I can't resist anymore. So fuck it all. You're stuck with me until the tragic end."
After that, I'd been searching for her. I returned to Everbound and attended the Seeking, hoping to see who that beautiful, shimmering dark mauve aura belonged to. And
"Oh, my gods. This is like dealing with four butt-hurt toddlers,"
I admit, their violent tendencies are pretty cute.
