A Darkness So Sweet (The Kingdom Below, #1)

“This is... white.” “No, no, dear. It’s cream. This is the one that the princess chose.”

👀

“You found her, I see.” “Didn’t even attempt to run.” Why did that sound like a derogatory statement?

😂

“I ask your forgiveness, husband.” Husband.

Crazy she still doesn't know his name

“I’m used to the cold. Ever since my father died, I’ve realized that I’m rather shit at starting fires.” She pressed her hands to her mouth. “I apologize. Swearing isn’t lady-like.” He arched his brow. “You’re married to a troll, Maia. Swear all you fucking like.”

He made himself scarce for a while after that. But even days afterward, Ragnar hadn’t forgotten the taste of her on his tongue.

Days?!?!

He thumbed the scorching head of himself, one clawed finger smoothing over a pearlescent drop. Eight bars pierced through the underside of it. Sixteen circular beads that gave the entire beast an entirely different appearance than she was used to.

“They’ll feel good,” he promised, his voice a rasp. “I’ll make you feel good.” She had no doubt of that, but she wondered if she’d be able to walk after.

Lmao. Yo not cool all that buildup for their first time to be a quickie in the woods

“I’ll get my tongue pierced again for you. You’ll like it better when I eat you.” Oh. Fuck.
