“Phoebe, I met him the same day you did.” I frowned.
SUS
Boris’s head.
Silas’s doing? Or Viktor maybe
A typical, boring, wholesome romance. Something that blossomed sweetly, a stable life.
begging me to save you from the monster in your kitchen.”
Bad move bud
This time, he lay down and pulled me into the warmest embrace that had ever taken grasp of my body.
Ow???
“I can’t stand when you cry,” he said quietly. “The smell burns the inside of my nose.”
“I have never seen someone look at something as wretched as me only to be left in awe,”
They have the JUICE dude. The spice. And I don’t mean the sex just so many authors try and fail to get them
I want nothing more than to climb inside your skull and see the world as you do.”
SO true
His smokey scent became a comfort rather than a warning.
I would rather do my own dirty work.
What I love is that she too kills people as a service. As a way to help other people. So him killing for her isn’t like?? As jarring as the average mortal girl on a vampire relationship. She’s equally horrified but also like. I could have taken care of that myself
our dark-haired acquaintance.
Interesting pov adjustment
What on earth was that? Thin ice? With whom?
Normally I would be like, annoyed, that the big Plot is introduced at the halfway point but because it IS a romance, that should be established first to carry their dynamic forward so I’m not mad?? It feels like it makes sense
that I was a witch because a man like him could not possibly want a woman who had a nontraditional lifestyle and a pedigree.
I would like to say maybe my presence had changed him, but I might be getting ahead of myself.
“They say he’s quite gifted in the…carnal subjects.” She smirked, and others joined in a cheeky array of giggles.
Oh besties
“What project has he commissioned you for? A dog rig?” one woman teased boldly.
Oh??
I started a few of my own. I felt like I was missing out,”
including my father, keep them as pets often.
“You are the fool if you think I could belong to anyone.”
“Morbs?” Phoebe asked once she noticed my demeanor. “Morbs,” I answered.
Real. I wish we used that phrase more
“You get that light in your eyes whenever you look at something you’re curious about. I wanted to see more of it.”
“Silas was kind enough to bring me,” she awkwardly introduced, circling back to my side. Good girl. “Would you like to join us, Viktor?” No.
“I can be quite charming when I have to be.”
What does that mean
“Spinal fluid is almost as valuable as blood to the body, you know.”
Fuckin KNEW IT. So Silas hadn’t met him previously. He only heard about him
It’s him. It’s Luka.
“Eight of the deadliest venoms this world has ever known,”
A vile grin pulled at those pretty lips as her mind raced. Call me lovelorn, but I adored this woman completely.
“Oh, please go on.” He smirked. “I could think of a few to give you now.” A light clicking sound came from him. He literally purred.
YUH
He was built like any apex predator should be. The sheer power he held, but never used fully on me. I wondered sometimes how much he was holding back.
Enthusiastic consent!!
The clinical science talk takes me out of these scenes sometimes but I’d rather that than some weird ass “velvet wrapped steel” bs. And she is a scientist so I get it
“I know, I know,” he soothed me. “Let it out, cry for me.” He picked up his pace. The wetness slicked down his cock and allowed his movements more ease.
YEAHHH
“Please, Silas.” I craved him. “Bite me.”
This feels so personal I’ve never read a book in this genre so FOR ME bro
Opium, absinthe, cocaine, nothing compared to whatever high came from the bite.
I craved to be filled with him in every place I could, wanting more and more of it.
“What else?” he murmured into my ear, forcing my hips down again. I let out a lustful sob, dragging my nails across his skin. “Don’t say that it hurts. I know that’s not what you feel,” he crooned.
This meal is delicious wonderful yummy
He lined the tip of his cock up with my entrance once more, but stayed perfectly still. “Beg for it.”
The dirty talk?? Their dynamic?? Yeah. Yeah
“I want to lose my voice by the time I’m done screaming your name.” There was a psychotic glint in his eye.
His face looked flustered but determined. One might assume that he looked like he was still holding back. Not if I could help it.
“Don’t look at me like that,” he said breathlessly, his skin glistening in the warmth. “I won’t be able to stop.” I gave him a drunken smile, high from venom and lust. “Then don’t,” I moaned, making sure to meet his gaze as I gripped one of my breasts, using my other hand to touch myself above the place he was penetrating.
Listening to In This Moment and IAMX while reading this goes CRAZY
Clicking bloomed in his throat like a purr,
“How long until they let go?” “Thirty minutes. An hour maybe.” “An hour? No wonder you never use them. Who would want to be stuck with you for an hour?”
“Now tell me about it.” “It was a mistake. It wasn’t the right time.” I picked at my nails. “Speak directly.” He placed his palms over my hands and intertwined our fingers to negate the fidgeting. “I poisoned my father’s assistant.” I hesitated.
He’s so. Theyre so. Dont mind about the mating thing this time around tbh
I was too unaware, not vigilant enough. I should have woken up before. I don’t know why I didn’t. I wish I hadn’t woken up that time. I almost feel that it would have been better, less damage not to know.”
Did he do what I think he did
“Shh…do not cry for him,” he whispered, kissing each tear as it escaped down my cheek.
SOMETHIN ABOUT A SHITTY ACTUALLY MORALLY QUESTIONABLE MAN. YUM
From my notes, I could see that his rear fangs contained a painkiller, a muscle relaxant, and an aphrodisiac.
His blood was similar to snake venom that burns away at flesh and causes swelling, though I was already painfully aware of that.
Oh??
