Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Everyone calls me King.” “And?” I ask, not knowing what he’s getting at. “You don’t.” “That’s because you have a first name, why the hell would I call you by your last?” “Who gave you the right to call me by my first name?” “Huh?” “Call me King.” His face lights up with malice. He’s enjoying this. The bastard is enjoying seeing me helpless. I thought Aiden was crazy before, but it turns out he’s a fucking psycho. “Call you King?” I repeat, incredulous. “It’s not rocket science. Say, please let me go, King and I might.”
Ronan is Death because he’s an impenetrable rock in the midfield. Cole is Famine; silent but deadly when he attacks. Xander is War; all he knows is how to wreak havoc.
That’s the last thought I have before Aiden slams his fist in Xander’s face.
“Then what else do you want?” His voice drops in a haunting whisper. “Every. Fucking. Thing.”
“Those who don’t play think that the king is the most important piece because the game is over when he dies. They don’t know that the king is useless without his queen.”
“Are you, Elsa? Because I was never supposed to like you this much. Hell. I wasn’t supposed to think about you more than I think of myself.”
“You’re so beautiful,” He groans, his rhythm turning rougher and faster with every word he says. “You’re maddening. You’re addictive. You’re fucking up everything.”
But that’s the thing about hearts, isn’t it? They can’t help beating despite the pain.
“That’s the difference between you and me, sweetheart. You’d leave me in a heartbeat if I cheat, but I’ll never leave you even if you cheat.”
“Don’t idolise other men in front of me. I don’t like it.” A burst of laughter slips from my throat. “Are you jealous, mighty King?” “Damn straight I’m jealous. I’m so possessive of you, it drives me fucking crazy.”
