Kindle Notes & Highlights
“If you run, I will find you.” It’s a dark promise, but the little witch winks before glancing over my shoulder at the soldiers pouring toward us. Her flames shoot high into the air, so hot that no soldiers dare brave the fire. And still I can hear her voice. “Sounds like a date,” she purrs. “But something tells me you’re going to miss it.”
“Madinia?” “I’m thinking.” His dimple appears. “Then by all means, continue.”
And even without my memories, I know she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
“You never should have let me taste you. Now I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine.”
“Your gaze burns like a brand,” he growls, and I shiver. “Would you prefer if I looked away?” “No. Look your fill, sweetheart. I’ll see you soon enough.”
“Calysian…” “I’ll make you feel good, Madinia. I want you. You want me back. That’s all that matters. Tell me you want me.” I take a shuddering breath. When I don’t reply, he shakes his head, turning away. “Calysian.” “I want the words. Say them.” “I want you.” The words are out before I can pull them back. The look Calysian gives me is half baffled surprise, half sensual promise. And then he’s out of the pool and prowling toward me, water dripping from his naked body.
Fiercely independent Madinia is mentally barring me from her bed. She has decided I’m too much of a threat to the freedom she holds closer than any lover. I nip at her ear. “Keep thinking such thoughts. I’ll merely fuck them out of you.”
“I am the dark god. I don’t complete last wishes or answer deathbed pleas. If you want something done, you’ll have to live and see to it yourself.” “Hate…you.”
“Live, Madinia. You have much to stay alive for.” Do I? “Your friends may still be waiting for you.”
“That’s it,” he murmurs. “Unravel for me, sweetheart.”
Her hair is tousled, her skin flushed with sleep, and when she leans forward to press a gentle kiss to my chest, I almost claw through my skin, crack open my ribs, and hand her my beating heart.
Asinia sighs. “Of course you couldn’t fall in love with an ordinary man. You couldn’t choose a fae or a hybrid, or a prince. No, you had to go and fall in love with a god.”
Asinia shakes her head at him, and Demos grins down at her, dropping a kiss to her forehead. He’s…different than he was three years ago. Quicker to smile.
I love them
On the other side of the fire, Demos leans into Asinia, murmuring something that makes her smile before kissing his way down her cheek to her mouth.
Precious
“You’re the other half of Calysian’s soul. That means you can access his power too. Forget trying to get to the grimoire before him. You need to go with him. When he takes the second grimoire, he’ll be distracted. You can take his link to the third grimoire, ensuring he won’t be able to locate it.”
Calpharos’s eyes meet mine once more, and I shiver at the dark promise in their depths. I don’t need to hear his words. I can read his lips. “I will find you.”
