A Thorn in Every Heart (Enchanted Legacies, #1)

by Kate King

In my head, I’m a slut. But in reality, I just read a lot of spicy books.

“I told you, I’m not going to let anything happen to you. As long as I’m breathing, no one will touch you.”

“You were busy,” I say. “I’m not going to wait around for any man. My time and attention belong to people who are thinking about no one but me.” Without warning, his hand shoots out and lands on the wall behind my head, boxing me in. He leans down so his mouth is mere inches from mine and bares his teeth. “Then I should get every single minute of your fucking attention.”

I roll my eyes. “Yes, Daddy.” His eyes flash with something like interest and he grips my arm tighter. “Say that again.” I flush and stumble over my words. “I-I just mean I’m not a toddler. I don’t need to hold your hand in the crowd, and I can walk perfectly fine on my own.” “Right. Fair enough.” He lets go of my arm, but leans closer to whisper in my ear. “But be careful what you call me, Peaches. Next time you say something like that, I’m going to take it as an invitation to spank you.” Um, yes please? Fucking go for it. I would have zero objections to anything Daemon wanted to do to my ass.

“Good. If you knew half the things I’ve thought about doing to any male who looks at you, you should be afraid. As long as I’m breathing, no one will fucking touch you, because I’ll kill them and fuck you in their blood.”
