Not that you love him. He’s not worth the time. Damn good fuck, though.
lol
“Utter one more foul word about her and I will slit your throat from ear to ear. I’m sure the red of your blood will look like a work of art pooling at her feet.”
Weird way to propose but ok
The way Andrian looked at her now, the way he watched her as she moved with him across the dance floor, made her feel so alive and so … worthy.
my queen,
MY QUEEN
Inside, I’m just a heaping lump of scar tissue,
We don’t worship a goddess because she’s weak, and I think it’s time this kingdom remembers that.”
PERIOD 👏🏽
Together.
Not our boy getting soft on us
she would be both his damnation … and his salvation.
my father threatening your life because I had chosen you, and only you, before the entire continent. So please, Your Majesty, forgive me for the oversight. I’ll try to be better next time.”
Because you are fucking mine.”
MINE
Thank the Goddess she’d long ago refused to be dependent on the protection of men.
“What do you need, nio?”
He sighed, his brows furrowing slightly. He reached out a hand, running the rough pads of his fingertips down the side of her face, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear before gripping her chin tightly, forcing her to hold his gaze.
“Tell me what you need.” Not a question this time. A command.
“I did once say I would only ever be a distraction for you. But then you went and turned yourself into mine. And now, I think we both know that I will never just be a distraction to you again.”
Someone run me over pls
Andrian brought the hand on her hip up and cupped her face, the rough pads of his thumbs sweeping across her cheekbones in a movement so achingly gentle that Mariah’s heart nearly fell out of her chest.
Gonna lie down in a busy intersection brb
“What do you need?” His voice was impossibly quiet and warm and safe.
When he’d asked Mariah what she needed, Andrian had told himself he would rip apart the heavens until he found the gods and goddesses themselves to make her happy.
Andrian quickly shucked off his boots and crawled into the bed beside her, pulling that pillow from her grasp and letting her use him instead.
I CANT TAKE IT 😭
All he knew now was that he would go to the ends of the earth for this wild girl crafted from moonlight and the darkness between the stars, even if it killed him.
It was at that moment Andrian knew he loved her, heart and soul.
*screaming crying throwing up*
Love is a weakness, Andrian Laurent.
Who the FUCK is in their heads
“Fear me, nio. I am not a place of refuge or safety for you.”
This whole scene has me questioning my entire life
He was gazing at her with such intensity, it would rival the sun on the Summer Solstice.
“Come for me, nio. Show me your light. Let it blind me.”
The sexual tension between my car and a tree right now
Sheila and 1 other person liked this
“Fuck … Mariah
HE CALLED HER BY HER NAME 😭
“And, no, I don’t care to elaborate.
GO OFF SIS
If you cannot treat me with the respect your queen demands, I will have your tongue removed from your mouth, and then I will have you removed from my city.”
THAT’S MY BITCHHHH
“Good. Tradition is fucking useless.”
It was as if she’d given up. Given up on looking for him. Given up going after him. Given up on him.
No she hasn’t bb 😩
And the worst part was he deserved it. All of it.
Poor tortured baby
it’d always been such a waste. Just like him.
Get this kid a therapist stat
He didn’t think he would ever not have the wind knocked clean out of him at the sight of her,
Divorcing my husband bc he’s never said this about me
“I thought you’d left me.”
“I thought I had, too.”
He smelled like home.
There were tears—actual tears—gleaming in his wild, tanzanite eyes.
Not the TEARS 😭
there might actually be someone in this world who would complete me so fully that every fucked up thought I’d ever had would suddenly make sense.”
Throwing myself down a flight of stairs immediately
“But when I did, I fucking died. Everything was so painfully, atrociously quiet.
And it was like my heart started beating again.
“You brought me back to life, Mariah. And I don’t care if this means our very existence is now damned, or if this makes me the weakest man in the entire kingdom. But I love you. And I will love you until the stars blink out of existence and the moons drop from the sky. I love you with everything I am, and everything I will ever be.”
A toaster and the tub are looking pretty good right about now
“You brought me back to life too, Andrian.”
I love you, too.”
“You … love me?” He sounded so young; he’d been alive for a decade longer than her, but in that moment, he was just a child, filled with wonder and hope and none of the darkness and pain that shrouded his prior thirty-one years of existence.
but he knew she could bring him the soul-deep joy he’d always so desperately craved.
he cracked eggs into a bowl with one hand before adding milk, melted butter, and a dash of vanilla.
Not him cooking for her. As if I wasn’t already in love
He gripped the counter behind him tightly to keep himself from slipping to the floor.
lol my reaction anytime a morally gray man smirks
“Yeah. We’re really doing this.”
Giggling and kicking my feet
Mariah’s entire being was focused on the dark prince lounging in the golden throne of Onita as if he owned it.
PLEASE 🥵
