Thank you.
A magnetic energy hung in the air, trying to force me toward him. It was so powerful I had to consciously take another step back to try and shake it away.
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.
Fuck it’s like someone picked apart my deepest desires and brought every fantasy I’ve ever had to life.
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.
“I wanna make her feel so good she glows,”
Here, we were nothing but two Fae who craved each other with a force that rivalled mother nature. And I could no longer resist the call of its power.
The door to his bedroom clicked shut and I was left standing with Darius who was looking at me like I’d just summoned the moon to come and sing us a lullaby.
“Because it feels right,” he breathed.
I was going to suffer the second she was gone.
I released her and she was gone, darting into the darkness, and making my soul feel like it was being ripped in two.
“Oh, I’m as sure as a sugar loaf on a Tuesday morning, Diego,” Geraldine said, lifting her chin.
If Caleb expected her to apologise, he was about to be severely disappointed because my sister never let men back her into a corner and I could see her temper flaring as he tried.
I glanced around and found most of the girls and several of the guys outright staring at him, waking a feral creature in my chest that growled mine.
“It just pisses me off. It’s like she gives him a free pass for all his bullshit but expects me to grovel at her feet for simply being Fae.”
It pisses me off as well
Geraldine in full on conductor mode while the Ass Club all screamed their lungs out in support of us. She had a baton and a white shirt with Vega Royals! scrawled across the front of it and was grinning her damn head off.
And most of all I was sick of wanting her and hating her all at once.
It was time we broke the Vegas and got them the hell out of this school. And if I had to break myself to do it then that was just the price I’d have to pay.
“What the hell have I just walked in on?” Max gasped, his gaze swivelling between the destroyed Atlas, Seth, and my bleeding arm. I bared my teeth at him, and his power hit me harder, his brow pinching with concentration as he tried to wrangle the angry beast inside me. “Cal sent him an emoji,” Seth whimpered.
Caleb brushing off his brothers for a girl? Not cool
I wasn’t even sure why Caleb hated that rumour so much. Who didn’t like fucking a girl who smiled the whole time like you were doing her a favour with every thrust?
Because to him it meant nothing. It wasn’t the sky falling down, but to me it felt like every star in the heavens were descending and crashing into the earth around me.
I’d rather bleed than feel what I did when I saw his mouth on yours.”
“Promise you won’t laugh?” I asked, heat invading my cheeks. “On the stars.” I nodded, looking out of the window so I didn’t have to see his reaction when I told him. “When we were in the battle and you were about to die, I felt compelled to save you. Like…if I didn’t a part of me would die too. And ever since then, that part of me is getting stronger like it’s become this tangible thing that lives in me. I’ve never been a jealous person before but when I see you with Francesca it’s like I turn into an animal with nothing but basic instincts.” My cheeks burned hotter, and I didn’t dare look at

Lance: I’ll make it worth your while if you pass The Reckoning today. #motivation #seemeafterclass Darcy: I can’t believe you just hashtagged me! Lance: I can’t believe you’re not in my bed right now. #missyourpeach Darcy: I also can’t believe you just admitted you want me to pass The Reckoning. Lance: It’s complicated.
Geraldine went absolutely crazy, crying out our names with actual tears rolling down her cheeks.
She’s so supportive - I love her

“Gemini,” the whispers filled my head again. “The wood burns hottest at the heart of the fire. The more hardship you face, the stronger you become.”
The stars weren’t trying to hurt me, I realised. They were showing me how we’d been made.
“Darius was pretty heavy on that idea too,” Darcy pointed out. “Yeah, I know. But he doesn’t pretend to be anything else. Like with Caleb he’s all, let’s just be us and keep the feud stuff separate. But that’s easier said than done, you know? Because one minute I’m laughing my ass off with him and sleeping in his bed and the next he’s like I’m gonna get you out of the school and make you and your sister bleed. And I just wanna punch his stupid fucking face.”
She wasn’t just a girl though. Not to me. She was the one girl I shouldn’t want, the one I couldn’t have, the one I didn’t need. And yet I did. And everything in my life could be damaged so badly by that need that I’d fought it tooth and claw up until this point.
I took her attention whatever way I could get it because all the time it was on me it lit me up and made me burn. And I wanted to burn with her more than I thought I’d ever wanted anything in my life.
Geraldine started laughing and the sound was thick and heady with lust. I turned to look up at her, finding Max Rigel’s arms around her waist. My lips parted in surprise, but he didn’t seem to be using his gifts on her, if anything it looked more like he was under her spell.
The moon made the rules, not the Heirs, and I decided to trust in its judgement
“I watch you and hunger for you and ache for you. It torments me like I torment you.”
“There are countless people who would say I’m not allowed to want you,” Darius breathed. “But you make me want to burn the whole world down so that I can claim you for my own.” “Then we should burn it down,” I agreed.
“Don’t let go of me, okay?” I said, not knowing why, only that we were always strongest together.
