Kindle Notes & Highlights
These fuckers definitely knew how to set the mood.
I didn’t give a shit about pleasing anyone.
I had shit to do, people to torture.
Well, shit, now I got the chills.
And if he thought I was accusing him, well…he was right.
So fucking dramatic, I could die of cringe.
But he wasn’t my type because he wasn’t made out of glass and he didn’t contain liquids that could wipe my mind clean of thoughts for hours at a time.
Feelings belonged on the inside, where we could lock them up and pretend they didn’t exist, and when pretending didn’t cut it, well…that’s where alcohol came in.
Such a guy. All it took was stripping off my clothes and he came running.
My fist was a mess, but fuck if I wasn’t having a good time.
I slammed onto his chest, and when he wrapped his other hand around my neck, I didn’t stop him. My hands were busy, anyway, and he saw why when the tip of my knife pressed against his Adam’s apple.
“Is this about the booze?” I whispered. “Because you’re gonna have to get your own. I don’t share.”
His voice was just as sexy as the rest of him, rough and a bit hoarse. Perfect for whispering dirty things in a woman’s ear.
Damn, he was hot—and with a touch of crazy, which added a lot to his appeal.
Well, damn, he was making me blush.
“The next time you get wet for me, I’m gonna do something about it, Damsel. That’s the only warning you get.”
“You’re such a gentleman.” I really wasn’t.
He looked like a murderous psycho, covered in blood, and it turned me on?
Couldn’t I just catch a fucking break?
Somebody screamed. Ax grinned at me.
“If anybody’s gonna insult you, it’s gonna be me, Damsel,”
“You’re fucking sick,” I muttered—but I was no better. “I am,” he said, like I’d paid him a compliment.
“That was less than thirty seconds,” he murmured against my thigh before he bit it. “Fuck you,” I said, the blood in my veins boiling again, half from anger, half from embarrassment. That had been more than thirty seconds. At least forty.
“I fucking hate your guts,” I told him,
Damsel had lost her booze and her knives, though. That seemed to piss her off.
The corner of her lips turned up just a bit. The mischievous little brat.
That’s how I wanted her forever. Completely mine. In my home. In my bed. Mine.
Fuck, she made an animal out of me.
“Damsel,” he whispered, leaning his head to the side. “If you really think I’m going to leave your side now, you’re more fucked up than I thought.”
Fucking lunatic—but
“You got me hard, Damsel.” I raised a brow. “You got hard by watching me kill people?” Was he fucking nuts?
“See? That’s how a fight’s supposed to go. No colorful sparkly bullshit coming out of people’s hands. Just pure strength and speed,” Ax said, admiring what he’d done to the guy I’d stabbed in the eye—he’d taken his head off completely.
“Did you seriously pull his heart out, just like that?” He shrugged. “It’s my favorite way to kill. I can teach you if you’d like.” Despite the absurdity of the situation, I smiled, shaking my head. “Thanks, but I’m good.” Fucking maniac.
I caught a glimpse of the guy he was when he was pulling hearts straight out of ribcages while laughing his own out.
A sigh escaped me—his touch felt so good. I got you, it said.
the way he kissed me back was gentle. He held me tight against his chest, and we played with each other for a while, tasting, savoring, exploring. It wasn’t sexual. It didn’t set my body on fire. It just touched my soul.
“I will kill each and every one of them. I’ll burn the whole fucking Realm to the ground if I have to, so long as you’re with me.”
Screw the whole damn world—he wasn’t going anywhere.
“Things might get heated up in a minute, you know.” “Nothing I love more than your heat, Damsel. It burns me better than fire,”
“Any plan?” I asked Ax. He turned to me. “Kill them as fast as you can.” It was a damn good plan. I was going to stick to it.
Goddamn sonovabitch.
I stabbed him on the back of his neck, too, just to make sure he wouldn’t get up again.
I kissed his bloody lips. “I fucking hate your guts.” And he smiled. “I hate you more.”
I’d be there to claw his heart out for hurting Ax. It would be the greatest pleasure of my miserable life.
I couldn’t let them kill me now. They all had to die first to pay for her life. All of them.
She was my perfect.
Out of all the women in the world, she was the only one who could tame me. The only one I would give everything for.
