Between Two Kings (Split or Swallow, #2)

by Lindsay Straube

“Once you have completed the final tier, your heart will make its choice.” Adelaide said. “I will choose Caspen.” “You may. Or you may choose someone else.” “How can you say that?” “The tournament is bound by Kora’s magic—it is meant to reveal ultimate truths, to allow fate to run its course. While the outcome is technically determined by you, it is not entirely your choice.”

Oooohhhh…. Fascinating!!!!

“Can the heart call to someone who isn’t a basilisk?” Adelaide gave her a careful look. “I…do not know.”

Oh shit!!!!!

Without warning, Apollo sent her a vision: him on all fours, Tem behind him. There was something between her legs. A cock—made from the same essence as the claw—held in place by a strap. The vision had no sound, but Tem saw Apollo moan as she entered him. It was like nothing Tem had ever seen before. She should tell Apollo to stop. But the vision was too tempting. Too delicious.

Ohhhhh Misty will LOVE this!

I have one of those already. It is not unheard of to have two. What would I do with two? Wear them. At the same time? Yes. Tem blushed. She was used to having Caspen’s claw inside her—she couldn’t imagine having another beside it, couldn’t imagine being filled like that.

Ohhhhh please. Please please let this be foreshadowing!!!

Lying is a sin, Temperance. Don’t talk to me about sins. Would you rather I perform them instead?

Lmfao!!!!!

There it is, Temperance. I know you like that. She didn’t bother denying it anymore. One more, Temperance. Just one more. Please. Again, he begged. A man undone. Almost there. I know you can do it. One more flick of her hips, and it was time. There it is.

TALK. HER. THROUGH. ITTTTTTTT!!!!

Adelaide turned to look at Tem, her face pale. “It means Rowe won.”

Bruh!!!!! What the fuck!!!!

I need you again and again and again. I need you every fucking day and night. I need you. I need you. I need you.

God fucking dammit!!!! TEAM MUTHA FUCKIN APOLLO!!!!!!!

In the haze of sex, Tem had forgotten about the state of things. But now, with her head once more clear, she heard the screams of terror coming from the passageway.

I mean, sex with my husband is good but not good enough to make me not hear people scream, screaming, and fucking dying outside the room… Just saying..

If there was to be a future for them,

OK, so just fuck Cas because now we’re back with Leo?

Tem no longer needed a chaperone. Tem only needed herself.

You selfish fucking bitch!!

Every time Tem managed to evade Rowe, Caspen was upon her a moment later.

This is so fucking dumb

Tem stared at her palms, unadorned by constellations of pigment. Her freckles were gone. The blood bond that had tied Caspen’s life to hers was broken.

What in the actual fuck??

Every gold picture frame was gone. The sparkling grout had been scraped from between the tiles.

So… They’re all just gonna be broke?

Leo pressed his lips to it before he fell asleep. When she asked him why he did this, he answered, “Because it brought you to me.”

She fucking sucks and does not deserve Leo at all

Then, to her surprise, he held her open, angled his head, and spit directly on her center. She was already wet; there was no practical need for it. Tem realized she was witnessing something that Gabriel liked to do during sex—perhaps

OK, I hate the fact that I found this hot as fuck

His hand found her throat. Another thing he liked.

OK, I definitely fuck with Gabriel

I promise to do right by him, even after doing him so wrong.

Oh, fuck you!!
