7th Circle (Hades, #1)

by Tate James

Because as a woman holding as much power as I did in a man's world, I could never show weakness or vulnerability. I could never let anyone think my rules were negotiable or optional. The punishments for disobeying me were swift and bloody; it was the only way I could stay on top.

Stand on business.

I helped Seph with her homework like normal, cooked sweet chili chicken breasts with garden vegetables for dinner, watched three episodes of Gossip Girl with her, then made an excuse not to go into 7th Circle.

The sister I deserve. 😭

"Get the fuck out. Apparently, kissing you has provided you a false sense of security. I will not be spoken to like that. Not from a lover and certainly not from a subordinate. Right now you're only one of those, and you're goddamn close to becoming neither. Get. Out."

periodt.
