Kindle Notes & Highlights
He could handle all the bullshit and the complications that came with loving me. He knew me. Saw me. Was capable of holding the both of us together if it all became too much. It was safe to love him back because, no matter what, he was never going to let me fall.
“I need you,” I said.
“Sinners and martyrs, Little Osha. The things I think about,” he growled. “If only you knew…”
I want you on all fours for me, Saeris. Crawling…
“Are you aching for me, Osha?” “Yes!”
“Good girl. Don’t worry. You won’t have to wait much longer.”
I need you. I want you. I need you. I want you.
“Sweet fucking mercy,” he panted. “Kill me. Sit on my face and ride my tongue until I fucking die. I can’t take it anymore.”
“Fuck, Saeris! The way you taste. I can’t get enough of you.”
I cried out so loud that my long-dead ancestors now knew my mate’s name.
“Breathe, love. I’ve got you.”
“Bite me,”
“All right. Fine. I’ll drink from you, Saeris. But not out of any love I have for the gods. I’ll do it to make you come on my tongue and my fingers. I’ll do it to make you scream.”
“Hush, love. I’m not going anywhere. I’m right here.”
My desperation to be close to him was an animal need.
He was magnificent to behold, the lines of him so perfect that he looked as though he had been carved from marble.
“Watching you come is a fucking gift.” His hands locked around my wrists, swiftly pinning them above my head. “I could watch you fall apart for me forever.”
“No, Nissarhin.”
“I’m feeling everything I need to right now.”
“Believe me. This is perfect.”
“This feels fucking incredible, Saeris. I don’t need to be bitten to enjoy this.”
It was here in the quiet and the dark with me that he surrendered.
“Especially when his mate is this fucking incredible.”
Little Osha?”
“Ahh. Come, Osha.” He peppered the side of my face with light kisses. “What kind of mate would I be if I didn’t tend to all of your appetites?”
There isn’t a single person in this realm or any other that I wouldn’t sacrifice to make sure I don’t let her down.
“I won’t sacrifice him.”
Kingfisher. Kingfisher. Kingfisher. His name had replaced my heartbeat.
Do you need me?
Look at me, Osha.
He was real. He was here. Everything was okay.
Good girl. Come here, then. Stand with me.
He was so fucking beautiful, it destroyed me.
“You are the only thing that keeps my moral compass pointing north, Little Osha,”
“Don’t leave without me again.”
“Don’t worry,” he whispered. “Rabid mountain trolls couldn’t drag me away from you now.”
Come here. If you can bear the fact that our bodies aren’t touching for one more second, then you’re a better person than me, Saeris Fane,” he whispered.
Nothing could touch me here, in his arms like this.
“Do you have any idea how good you look in that shirt, Osha? Two days was too long.”
My soul is on fire. Tell me yours isn’t.”
“My soul is on the winds,” I panted. “You’re carrying it away.”
In his arms, the dangers of this place couldn’t touch me. I was sheltered. Safe.
“I promise. I swear it. You’re mine.” “And you are mine.
“Don’t think about that right now. Don’t worry about any of it. Just be here with me.”
My prince of shadows.
I had been born into the light, but my salvation had been waiting for me in the dark. It was a miracl...

He was a creature of violence—it was his creed. But he was also this, too. When he loved, it was with everything he had.
“When I look at you, I feel as though I’m peering into a mirror,”
“Oh, y’know. ‘I am so in love with Kingfisher. Kingfisher is so handsome. Look at his ass in those pants—’”
“It’s okay, Osha. Many women have appreciated my posterior in a pair of leathers. I don’t let it go to my head.”
