Kindle Notes & Highlights
Bastian Carderrin was in a league all of his own. He was the type of man who made all others appear as little more than boys, a man built for the ruin of virtue and destruction of morality in all the best ways. No doubt it was a pity I’d sworn off black hearted bastards because he looked like a ruin worth damning myself for.
bold patterns depicting stars spilling from a dark sky across his shoulders which became the backdrop for a depiction of The Tower card from a tarot deck that dominated the rest of his back.
“I would kiss you if I hadn’t promised not to,” he growled and my heart rate elevated. “I would devour you just once more, even if that was all the stars let me claim.”
one moment my heart had been full of grief and the next, silence. Like the stars had muted my pain and all other emotions along with it.
“What does my power do to you?” she breathed, her hand still upon me, though maybe she hadn’t realised it. “It unleashes my demons, silka la vin.”
“Do you think I don’t know how your magic works, little mouse?” he purred, offering me a dark smile which didn’t extend beyond his lips. “I’ve toyed with your kind before and I know precisely how to get inside your head.”
you will use this power on me whenever I request it. You will do so until I can remain in the carnage of my own mind without you.”
His soul was bared in that moment, his eyes a dark window that gave a view to his inner torment. He was raw and real right now and some part of me was drawn to that wound in him, wanting to pick it apart and watch it bleed.
“I am chaos,” it answered, somehow making me understand those words, although they were still spoken in that strange language. “I am the undoing of the sky, the unravelling of all.”
“But that’s what you are. My own little ghost. You’re just haunting me on this side of death instead of the other. I’m only wondering if you’ll keep it up after I snap that pretty neck of yours between my hands or if you’ll race into death as quickly as you claim to want to.”
It was all I could do to stand still as a very vivid mental image flashed through my mind of him bending me over the bar beside us and fucking me so hard and for so long that my screams turned hoarse and my body grew limp with exhaustion. But he never tired, never slowed and I never stopped begging him for more and more and-
“All who claim a piece of the comet are blessed with the gift of being able to ask a single question of the stars themselves. And that is what I did with this piece. I asked the stars about my destiny and they told me secrets of my future.”
Because if I fucked you, I assure you, you’d forget every other star-damned thing. From your name to mine, to every star in the sky and drop of water in the ocean. Nothing would exist aside from you and me.”
“I had a sword once. It was an heirloom passed down through my family for generations, drenched in glory and countless victories in battle. That used to recharge my power though the metal itself was simple steel so held no value in the sense of usual treasure.”
tattoo which ran up the righthand side of his neck, what looked like some kind of family crest with a mountain at its heart and thorny vines roaming free of it, flowers blooming along its length.
“You are the most beautiful creature I’ve ever laid eyes on,” he growled against the shell of my ear, his thumbs tracking back up my inner thighs and drawing so close to my core that I whimpered with need. “From the first moment I set my gaze on you I’ve been plagued with fantasies of having you at my mercy like this. Of bending your body to my will and making you gasp my name as you shatter for me.”
“You are my most ruinous fantasy,” he told me. “You’re like the sun drawing me to your orbit at all times, there is no light when you aren’t near, no joy outside of your company, no point to my existence at all. You found me in the dark and set me free so that I could dedicate myself to worshipping you for all of time, and I want to spend every second I have making you feel just a fraction of the bliss you offer me with your mere existence. Tell me you want me the same way, spectre, tell me you-”
Go, little fish, brave the wide open ocean and become the shark you were always meant to be.”
“You will make the stars hail your name, Everest Arcadia,”
“The Reapers are pawns in a greater thing than you or I can understand.”
“Then we’ll march, Lady Septa,” Earl Tarlord said gravely, making my breath catch in my throat at the intensity of his gaze upon me. “For the honour of your family and the secrets we may yet unlock.”
My mouth found Harlon’s in the dark and his fingers tangled in my hair, his kiss hard and full of a feral brand of desire that I’d never tasted on his lips before. His tongue pressed against mine, and his palm firmed against my lower back, pulling me tight into his lap and making my bare pussy grind over the hard length of his cock. I moaned into his mouth, biting on his lower lip and he bit me back in return, showing me a savagery I had long wished to see from him.
“No, I am not done with you yet,” he growled,
