Flock (The Ravenhood, #1)

by Kate Stewart

It’s the start of a great summer.

“Those boys, pretty as they are, I think might have the devil inside them.”

I fall asleep and dream vividly of hazel eyes, upturned lips, of blurring trees, and endless roads.

He turns back to me. “I say, it’s the land of the mentally inept, electronically dependent, and brainwashed media slaves.”

okay ghandi geez

Now is now, later will eventually be now. Don’t be a slave to the insanity of keeping time and keeping up. Now is the only thing you have control over, and even so, it’s an illusion.”

the spectacular now 🥰

It’s a dream, a living dream, this gorgeous man with sun-drenched skin and luminous eyes, reaching for me, along with the scene surrounding us.

“Hand to the Messiah, I promise you, baby, the last thing I want to do is control you.”

sheeeeesh sean lets GOOO

And race to his car as it starts to rain.

My heart is no longer hiding in the shadows, it’s dancing in the open now, much like we were in the bar last night.

When a man confesses his love to me, I expect him to mean it. I don’t want to question the words’ authenticity. I want to be claimed and owned and ruled and possessed by love.

“If there’s a back door into heaven, maybe I’ll find it for you too.”

tatie ❤️‍🩹

“If you’re ever wondering what to do, that’s what you do. Whatever you fucking want, whenever you want, and you don’t apologize for it, not ever.”

And then slowly, so slowly, his lips tilt fully, knocking me senseless. It’s my first genuine smile, and I snap away, knowing it’s a mental picture I will never forget.

this was the moment I fell for dom 😍

“You bought these for me?”

no sorry scratch that. THIS SCENE is when I fell in love 😍😍😍

And what better way to pass a day in stormy weather than curling up with a gorgeous man and getting lost in the words.

“My rainy days are yours, Dominic. If you want them.”

BYE IM ALREADY CRYING

“Fine with me. But my sunny days belong to Sean.”

THE JUXTAPOSITION I CANNOT

Climbing back into bed with him, my smile grows wide just before he clicks off the light and reaches for me.

okay this feels like team Stefan or Damon alllll over again ❤️‍🩹

But in a lot of aspects, they’re night and day, dark cloud and golden sun. And drawing the comparison between them has become inevitable.

But that’s the thing about ravens. They always seem to be watching. Now, I’m counting on it.
