Kindle Notes & Highlights
Why was it so fucking difficult to cut her out of me? One look was enough to make me consider risking everything I’d ever worked for.
In the moment, we’d been weirdly united. I’d saved his life and he’d saved mine. I’d even cried while he lay dying in my arms.
“Those rules don’t apply to me. Besides, I’ll keep you safe if you’re with me. You’ll just have to stay the whole night.”
“Congratulations, Roxy. Looks like we’ve got a date Wednesday night then.”
“Yes, well I can be fun sometimes. Especially when I'm not wearing this suit.” I stared at him and his eyes widened as he realised what he'd said. “I meant when I'm not working,” he said quickly. “Right yeah.” And when you’re diving into swimming pools. And pressed against me with your tongue in my mouth.
“I can't think straight around you,”
“I could have lost you in that battle, or I could have died without ever knowing how this might have played out…”
“I owe you my life,” he breathed and my heart nearly detonated as he pressed his lips to my cheek. “Thank you.”
“This has to stop,”
My Atlas pinged and I took it out of my bag, my gut fraying as I found a private message waiting for me from Orion. Lance: What if I don't want it to stop?
My eyes lingered on his mouth a moment too long and I cleared my throat. Grr. Damn wolf needs.
Blue means you like me.
I fully intend to break that guy’s legs once you give me his name by the way. Lance: I guess you’re about to go back to radio silence so for what it’s worth… In Solaria blue means royal. And to me, blue means you.
“I’m mostly embarrassed it’s you,” he replied scathingly. “You’re not even hot.” “Bite me,” I joked. “Don’t tempt me.”
“If I bite you before I sleep I’ll end up fucking dreaming of you again.” “Oh come on, Professor, we both know you dream of me anyway.”
On some base level, at this moment in time, she fully trusted me.
She pressed her face to my chest and my heart leapt a little as she leaned into me like I was someone who could protect her.
But she asked me not to leave and I found that I didn’t want to.
“Everyone says Darius Acrux is heartless and cold blooded just like the Dragon he turns into. But you’re not, are you?”
Fuck it’s like someone picked apart my deepest desires and brought every fantasy I’ve ever had to life.
“Fuck, Roxy, I cant sleep next to you while you’re dressed like that,”
And I was beginning to realise that I might like that, and a few other things about her, just a bit too much.
But instead of the soft embrace of parents I’d never known, my head lay on the chest of a man whose strong arms were wrapped around me like he never wanted to let me go.
My eyes were closed so I couldn’t see him but I just felt oddly at home. Like this was where I was meant to be.
“If you don't kiss me I'll go mad,”
Lance: Fine. Seeing another guy's hands on you makes me want to rip out their eyes so they never get to look at you again.
“I want you to the point of pain, Blue.”
“I'm gonna lose my mind over you,”
This girl is made for me.
Fuck, I had to let her go. For her sake. Definitely not mine. I was going to suffer the second she was gone.
“We won’t, Tor. Zodiac is where we belong.”
“Your smart mouth is going to get you into trouble with me one of these days,” he warned.
“Do you hate me then, Roxy? Or do you still not care about me enough for that?” “Why do you care if I do or I don’t?”
He was danger and power and the worst kind of temptation but I almost wanted to find out just how close I could get before I got burned.
I glanced at it and was surprised at how much we looked like a happy couple in the snapshot. I was looking straight into the camera, a laughing smile on my face while Darius pressed a kiss to my head, the corner of his mouth hooked into a grin and his arm wrapped around me.
“Did you just call Darius Acrux sexy?” Sofia asked in surprise and I snorted a laugh as Geraldine blushed. “Well I have eyes!” she said defensively. “That’s not to say he’s the most attractive of the Heirs.” “Obviously,” Caleb said cockily.
