Amid Clouds and Bones

by Ella Fields

To drag the silk through my wet core.

What.

He turned them in circles, their kicking feet nearly catching his consort in the face. Scowling, Cordenya stepped back, then headed toward a server for more wine.

When cheating is normal in this book I guess...

Over Phineus’s shoulder, Elion’s gaze caught mine. But it wasn’t me who seemed to have his attention.

Omg I'm so here for Elion and Phineus

“You’re attempting to make someone jealous.” Phineus didn’t even try to deny it. His smile was rueful, and his voice whisperingly low. “Do you think it’s working?”

Called ts

“I want to fuck you.” The gritted words burst between his teeth as though he’d been biting them since he’d arrived.

Slow burn who?

“I want you. I want you as much as I loathe you—so much, it feels like I can’t breathe.”

But why tho. u tried to kill her and you've been a dick since y'all met bruh..

I’d looked for him endlessly, only to find his absence.

Bruh YOU HATE HIM AND HE HATES U MORE FOR NO REAAON

“I’m going to need you to speak plainly. It’s been quite a night.”

This chick has balls to talk to an enemy king this way

The Unseelie king cocked his head. A slow smile rendered his features less severe and more alluring. “You must fall in love with me.”

On god bruh

His hair was tangled and unbound, a creature in his arms pawing at the crimson strands. Soil, blood, and sweat joined his smoky scent, igniting my curiosity all the more.

I would rather her be with Vane than Atakan. At least he is nice to her and is trying to figure out how to get her to love him even if it’s to break a curse. (Update now that i’ve finished the book: this is my worst take yet.)

“Stormy it is,”

Bruh.

His broad chest tapered slowly into large hips so sharp, they could injure. Dark auburn hair dusted his chest, a thick smattering leading toward the waistband of his pants. His pectorals were small mountains, shifting as he fluffed the pillows.

Fuck Atakan bro this guy is too hot. (Update after i’ve finished the book: I take it back)

“Your father and stepmother have been murdered.”

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

Vane had slain my father.

WHATTTTTTTTTTT HE WAS SO KIND AND ITS ALL FAKE! (I say calmly as I expected this because Atakan is endgame so if his family killed her dad she wouldn't go back to him)

The door closed behind me like an echoing drumbeat. King Garran turned from the open doors of the balcony. The scarf stained with my innocence slithered between his fingers as he smiled warmly. “Welcome back to Ethermore, Mildred.”

WHAAAAAAAT THE FUVK BROOOOOO

Drivel on about the fucking eggs. Tell him how and why and who. Atakan’s voice was sharp, like claws scraping over my mind. Just don’t stop talking. I’m coming.

He cares about her for once

“Yes, though only the goddesses know where.” Atakan rose from the bed. “In return for her freedom, she had to agree to leave me behind.” As he vanished from the chamber, he said, “My mother left and never once looked back.”

Dude.

Unhurriedly, my mate and husband walked down the drive, stark naked.

?????

“Interesting,” I lied, then lowered my head to take a better whiff of that smell. “Why does it smell so delicious?” “Please don’t eat her.”

I'm dead

I held it away from me. “I do believe it just soiled itself.”

Bro has never seen a baby before

The same tree we’d stood under when we’d first met. I’d loathed her then. Almost as much as I loved her now.

Kicking my feet

“If I do, what do I get in return?” she asked, yet the fear hidden from her playful tone crept into her eyes. It wouldn’t deter me. “Tell me, and you’ll find out.” “Fine.” Taking my cheeks, she pressed her nose to mine and said in a rush, “I love you, Atakan.” My chuckle made her face redden, but I kissed her before she could retreat and crooned, “Very good. Now, are you ready for your reward?” She nodded, waiting. “Here it comes…” I cleared my throat far more dramatically than necessary and declared, “I love you, too.”

Why is this low-key cute. his evilness is gone and now he doesn't know how to act

It had become a second favorite of mine since we’d put a torture table down there. Although we seldom had real prisoners, Atakan had warned that it was not to be used by anyone but him. I was certain the entire castle knew what that table was used for, and I liked being used on it so much that I didn’t care.

Hello??

I stopped tapping my nails, spread my legs, and said, “Kneel.” Atakan stilled. His hands fell lax at his sides. His eyes gleamed wholly green, every inch of him defying the challenge. But he wouldn’t. “It would be my pleasure.” He dropped to his knees before his throne, slid his hands over my inner thighs toward my sex, and looked up at me with sinister intent.

HOLY MOLYYYY

He collected my hair behind my shoulders. “For you, I would stay on my knees until they bled your name.”

This man had some development...
