Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You there.” Geraldine whipped around, pointing an accusing finger at Max who looked to her in surprise, his laughter choking out in an instant as he pointed a finger at himself in confusion. “Yes, you, you uncouth codpiece, get my father a chair this instant!”
“You bat-eared blaggard!” she yelled, her voice followed by a loud thwack. “Back off, Grus,” Orion growled in response.
a decision darkened his eyes before he picked me up and shot into the bed, spooning the hell out of me as he clutched me against him, my face firmly aiming to the opposite side of the room from Seth as he yanked the covers over us.
“Goodnight, Lance,” I said breathlessly, and he pressed his lips to the soft place behind my ear as his fingers ran over the bite to heal it. “Goodnight, Blue.” “Goodnight, roomies,” Seth whispered.
“I’m yours, Roxy,” he growled against my lips. “For every single second I have in this world, I’m all yours. And after that I’ll still be yours, wherever I end up after I’m gone, I’ll belong right here with you.”
“I don’t snuggle,” I snapped. “Liar,” he scoffed. “You snuggle with Darcy and Darius all the time. But where’s my snuggles, Lance? Where’s. My. Snuggles?”
“You’re infuriating,” I huffed. “And you’re cute when you’re angry. Shall we air more facts about each other, Blue, or go and kill some Nymphs?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Orion demanded, narrowing his gaze on him, his hand straying towards a pineapple in a fruit bowl on the table. Seth mimed zipping his lips and throwing away the key as Orion’s hand closed around the pineapple in a threat.
“Would you rather I’d just brought you uncooked bread?” “Than this horror show?” Seth said, clutching his imaginary pearls. “Yes I would.”
“Oh wow, thanks friend,” he said before pulling them on. “I’m doing everyone else a favour, not you,” Orion muttered.
“What if you ask him if he likes me while I hide under a barrel nearby?
“We’ll be best friends soon, Darcy. I promise.” He hooked his pinkie around mine. “But right now, I’m gonna release him and run for my life, so if you could dive into the way, that’d be great, babe.”
Or would you rather we have this discussion while picking up the pieces of our beloved Xavier, because let us be unduly honest, he is quite the target with his sweet innocence and gentle soul.”
cheeks turning bright red. “I’m not a virgin.” Darius boomed a laugh and Tory smacked him while the rest of the Heirs cracked up and Geraldine doubled over, wheezing as she held her side.
“Girls,” Xavier blurted. “Lots of girls. I’ve had girls on their knees while I rut my…horn on their swollen…parts.”
shockingly familiar voice made my vagina ziplock itself
Tory was gazing up at me, sucking her lip as she clapped to try and get the crowd started, but they didn’t follow her lead even when she elbowed Darius and he gave a couple of pitying slow claps too.
I took a step back, bowing my head to one of the true queens, because of course that was what she and her sister were.
“The hat kid’s name was Diego? I swear it was Darnell,” Darius murmured to Tory and she punched him in the arm with a muttered curse about him being an asshole.
Geraldine half tore Max’s shirt off of him to use it to wipe her damp eyes.
“I knelt for Darcy in the arena,” I admitted, staring him straight in the eye. “She is my queen, whether that be by the choice of the stars or a fate carved by my own hand. I was always meant to kneel for her.”
“See?” Seth said innocently, giving Darcy the big eyes. “He’s so easily riled up. He’s like a gorilla-sized chihuahua.”
Seth started laughing too which made it immediately not funny anymore
“Maybe you should try the Capella smoulduction,” Seth suggested. “And what the fuck is that?” Max asked, narrowing his eyes at him.
“Yeah. No doubt you’ll need to keep your energy up for all the angry sex you and Darius will be having later on.” “Keep the sexual references about my sisters to times when I’m not within earshot, yeah?”
“I don’t know and I don’t want to know,” Gabriel replied. “I don’t wanna find out any more about what goes on in that Wolf’s head than I already do.”
“Well unluckily for you, Darius, I have plenty of magic in reserve and I’m putting myself between you and Tyler, so unless you think you can take me on without a drop of magic in your veins, I suggest you go on back to your room before I beat your ass in front of all of these lovely people.”
“Back the fuck up, you have the Power Shamed professor here? Hashtag did they do it in detention. Hashtag did she get spanked by the Vampire tank-”
Honestly, that fellow needed a jolly good slap with a sardine from time to time.
Darius opened his mouth, but Tory had a sudden knee spasm which caused her to kick him in the shin and he grunted in pain as he looked to her instead.
“Thank the stars,” I said heavily. “Oh yes,” Orion said sarcastically as he glowered at me. “Thank the stars.”
Orion chugged more of the bourbon. It was almost like he wanted to be drunk to endure my company, but it couldn’t be that. I was a delight.
“Oh my stars…you fucked Darius. That explains everything.”
“Tell him the truth?” he suggested and I waved a hand dismissively at that. “Don’t be ridiculous, now you’re sounding like Darcy.”
“Heavens save me from the linear minds of men!” she cried.
“Are you okay, man?” Caleb asked him, cocking his head to one side. “Is that ball rash still causing you problems?”
“The occasion never calls for it and yet you do it incessantly,” Orion pointed out and Darius snorted in amusement.
Gah, sometimes I wanted to kick him in the dick even more than I wanted to use it for the fun things.
I cut my gaze to Seth who cleared his throat and turned away from me, his mental shields slamming up as tight as a duck’s asshole all of a sudden and making me narrow my eyes in suspicion.
He shrugged, showing me exactly where his loyalty lay and I punched him in the arm. “You and your sister are violent women,” he muttered, though not like he had an issue with it.
“There is no story I would choose to live in but ours,”
“No, Roxanya Vega, I don’t call that fucking,” he replied. “I call that worshipping my goddess. I call it making love to the most beautiful woman in all of Solaria, I call it penance for all the bad things I’ve done to you and the least I can offer in retribution for the harm I caused you. But most of all, I call it loving you with the intensity of the sun and the devotion of the moon because you are my end, baby. The only dream I never dared to have for myself. Yet here you are, within reach at all times. And you’d better believe I can’t resist you now that I have you. I plan on marking every

“Fine,” I huffed. “Tell him I love him and he can’t be a dick while I’m gone. Good enough for you, asshole?” “It brings a tear to my eye,” Gabriel said,
She fell to her knees, burying her face against Darius’ thighs and clinging to his pants so hard that they started to fall down.
“Oh, but you don’t know,” she gasped, shuffling toward us on her knees. “The thoroughbred steeds of my gentle ladies have been left unawares.”
“Can I have this hat?” Seth asked and we turned, finding him wearing a ridiculous red cowboy hat with leather tassels hanging from it. “I’ve always fancied myself as a hat person.”
“Oh wow, you can really taste the shame on you.” He licked me again. “It’s like cinnamon and failed dreams.”
“I think you could bottle it as a scent actually, it’s kind of alluring. You could call it eau de toi-regret.” “Thanks,” I said dryly. “I’ll do that once I’ve finished setting up my own failed dreams clothing line.” “I think you’re really onto something here, Lance,”
Caleb grabbed hold of Seth and we shot away as Seth shouted, “Yee-ha!”
I reached into the nightstand drawer. “Are you getting the lube?” Darius asked and I barked a laugh.
