Kindle Notes & Highlights
I hadn't paid much attention, dying as I'd been at the time,
You told me to win the war by any means necessary, so I came to claim the only tool that’ll win us back our advantage. I came for him.”
“It's rude to stare at a male's hardware,” he said stiffly.
“Straight for the jugular then, Little Osha? Ruthless. I like it.”
Kingfisher's suggestion of a smile grew wings and took flight. “Clever girl.”
“You! We broke our backs cleaning this place! What's wrong with you? What happened to, 'our abilities are sacred gifts to be used for righteous purposes,' or whatever the hell it was you said?”
Kingfisher stilled. “Are you asking me how big my cock is, Osha?”
She'd squawked when he'd thrown me unceremoniously down onto my bed and snarled, “Bad human,” at me.
“Careful, human. We Fae have an excellent sense of smell. You'd be amazed what we can scent floating on the air.”
“I'm also a fan of aggressive foreplay.
Kingfisher leaned forward, his tongue running over his teeth again. He smiled suggestively as he said, “Swallow.”
“You could at least say hello before you start eye-fucking me.”
“If you want it, come here and touch it,” he rumbled.
He took the pendant, lifting it, placing the metal between his teeth, holding it out of the way as he moved my hand to the center of his chest. “Feel that?”
“I don't hate your kind. I'm just disappointed by how breakable you are. If I held you down and fucked you the way I'm imagining fucking you right now, I doubt that you’d survive it.”
“That your body is betraying you in other ways. That I can smell you, Little Osha, and I'm thinking about drinking the sweet nectar you're making for me straight from the fucking cup.”
“Careful,” he panted. “I swore I'd be still while you kissed me. At no point did I promise to exercise restraint if you climbed up into my lap and started grinding yourself against my cock.”
“Where the fuck is my other boot?”
This is so Christina Yang coded
“That's right. But I wasn't just covered in your blood, was I? I was wearing another of your...perfumes.”
“There's every way,” Fisher rumbled, his eyes darkening. “I'd know the smell of you anywhere. On anyone. I'd know it blind and in the dark. Across a fucking sea. I'd be able to scent you—”
“For the record, I’d never use an injury as an excuse to sneak my way into a bed,” Fisher said. His voice was even closer now. I could almost feel the brush of his lips against the shell of my ear. “I’ve never had a problem securing myself an invite.”
“Just so I know,” he said, chewing. “Is that a no to fucking in your captor's bed? Or a no to fucking in general?”
“That I take a bath.” “A bath?” “Yes, a bath.” “That's a weird request.”
“You let a fire sprite jerk you off with a handful of Fae moss?” “Not a fire sprite,” he said defensively. “These were water sprites. Three of them.
I’m dying
“I had a vested interest in seeing you in that dress.”
“Meeting? I thought this was dinner. And how would it be fair for me to enjoy the pleasure of your company while these two miss out?” Carrion held up a hand. “I'd prefer not to be here, actually.”
“Did you miss me?”
I was going to shank him in the neck with my very dull butter knife.
“It's almost your turn. My ass can't take much more of this.”
“You're incorrigible!” “I don't know what that means.” “Yes, you fucking do!” “All right. I do. What's your point?”
He hadn't compelled me to wait there, either, and so I did what any sane woman would do: I bolted.
Hahahaha cackling
“We have a fucking Alchemist?” “She's mine,” Fisher said.
“You never wore the dresses I put out for you,” he murmured into my hair.
“Don't share food with that prick again, Little Osha.”
“You asked for this. When you're sore from coming so hard and you can't recall your own name, remember that, Little Osha.”
Are you going to scream for me like a good girl when I have you ride my face?”
“When you take all of me, remember to breathe.”
“No arguments, Osha. I've driven myself half-crazy wondering what you look like. I need to fucking see. Put me out of my misery.”
“Such a pretty flower, blooming just for me,”
“Back in the forge at the palace, I caught a hint of this. I knew then I had to taste you. This smell has been haunting my fucking dreams. I haven't been able to think straight for remembering the scent of your need.”
“You still want it?”
“Witch,” he accused. “You do have magic.”
It says, 'Never forget. Monsters thrive best in the dark. Commit all you read here to memory. Prepare for war!!’ Carrion held up his middle finger and his index finger. “Two exclamation points.
He’s Ridoc
“You are extra fucking miserable today. You should really get laid. Might help improve your mood. Tell him, Sunshine.”
“Because she is moonlight. The mist that shrouds the mountains. The bite of electricity in the air before a storm. The smoke that rolls across a battlefield before the killing starts. You have no idea what she is. What she could be. You should call her Majesty.”
I’ll make you beg, Little Osha. I’ll fill every one of those pretty little holes. I’ll fuck you so hard, you'll never want another male ever again.
Every warrior in Innìr will smell me on you, Fisher's voice rumbled in my mind. I'm going to make you hoarse from screaming my fucking name. I'm going to mark you in every way imaginable, so that everyone knows you're fucking mine.
Bite me, Fisher. It came as a breathless thought. I can't... Bite me. Do it. I want it! I can’t! BITE ME!
“Destruction,” I replied. Carrion nodded, bobbing his head from side to side. “As good a reason as any. I like it.”
“Yes, I'm talking to it. What do you think I'm doing?” “I don't know. You look constipated.”
