Princess Bridget von Ascheberg of Eldorra would be the death of me.
Alex Volkov.
I tightened my hold, and he whimpered in pain. “I think you used a very bad word to insult the lady here.” Another tightening, another whimper. “And I think you better apologize before the situation escalates. Don’t you?”
I love you Rhys Larsen
“Say, ‘I’m sorry for being a limp-dicked idiot who doesn’t know how to respect women.’”
Rhys pushed me into a nearby alleyway and pressed me tight against the wall with his gun drawn and his body covering mine.
...🙈
I’d never shared that with anyone before.
i cant believe i thought this relationship was purely lust at first 🥹 like they actually like each other when theyre not fighting and its so cute
“I’d rather you hate me alive than love me dead.”
I glared at Rhys, who sat on the couch polishing a knife like a psycho.

“Even worse. He’s running your life and you’re not getting any dick from it.”
“I take it you’re not a fan of electronic music.”
“It sounds like a Mountain Dew commercial gone wrong.”
“You stepped on my foot,” Jules snapped at Josh. “Your foot got in my way,” Josh snapped back. “Like I would intentionally put any part of my body in your way.”
right...
“Since it’s my graduation night, let’s play a game. It’s called Getting to Know Rhys Larsen.” “Sounds boring.” Rhys flicked his eyes around the restaurant. “I already know Rhys Larsen.”
LAUGHING SO HARD RN
“Did you come up with the idea? And set it up all by yourself?” “It’s not a big deal.” He continued eating without looking at me.
rhys larsen is a big teddy bear 🧸
“Come here, Princess.” I opened one arm. She stepped into it and buried her face in my noninjured shoulder.
“It’s nice,” he said. “What?” “Your real smile.”
Rhys kept scaring off my romantic prospects, and half the men in the city were afraid to ask me out for fear he would shoot them.
what if i told you none of it was accidental?
“He’s wearing shoe lifts. He deserves to be threatened.”
“I suggest you stop lookin’ at me like that, Princess,” I said, my voice lethally soft. “Unless you plan on doing something about it.”
“My mother was a bitch.”
I sensed trouble before I even entered the palace’s reception hall, where I heard Prince Nikolai talking in low murmurs.
when he has spidey sense>> 🤭🤭🤭🤭
And if he was stupid enough to ignore my warning, I would hunt him down, rip off his balls, and feed them to him.
“I’m going to miss you.”
“I’m going to miss you too, Princess.”
His back—his strong, beautiful back—was covered with scars.
AARON WARNER MOMENT
“It wasn’t the boy’s fault,” I said. A tear slid down my cheek before I could stop it. “I hope he knows that.” “He knows,” Rhys said. He rubbed my tear away with his thumb. “Don’t cry for him, Princess. He’s all right.”
Bridget von Ascheberg would be the death of me.
I stalked to the bed and grasped her chin in one hand, forcing her to meet my gaze again. “What. Am. I. Doing. To. You.”
YOU ARE WEIRD!
I sat and watched her sleep for a while, feeling like a total creep but unable to look away.
this is cute
“It is the perfect solution. I can’t wait. Maybe I’ll do more than dance. Maybe I’ll find someone to kiss and take up to—” Two seconds later, I found myself pinned to the wall.
“If you think I was anything close to happy these past six weeks,” he said grimly, “you couldn’t be more wrong.”
I wondered if we would’ve worked in a different life, a different world.
you guys work fine in this one 🙂
“One day, I’ll sit on the throne, and you’ll have to answer to me—if you are still in power then.”
YESSSSS
“Your birthday present,” he said gruffly, handing me a rolled-up sheet of paper tied with a ribbon.
hes so luke danes if luke danes was a slutty little man whore 🤭🌸
I would much rather have one sketch from him than a hundred Tiffany diamonds.
me too bro, me too
He brushed a stray strand of hair out of her face, and my hand twitched toward my gun.
The son of the Duke of Holstein, one of the most powerful men in Eldorra, he was an accomplished equestrian who spoke six languages fluently and graduated top of his class from Harvard and Oxford, where he studied political science and economics.
IF BRIDGET DOESNT WANT HIM ILL GLADLY TAKE HIM 😫
“Say the word, and I can make it look like an accident,” I said after Andreas was out of earshot.
That’s my girl.
But my gut was never wrong, and something told me someone had been in here recently…someone who shouldn’t be.
spidey sense
“Did you know tulips were worth more than gold in seventeenth-century Holland? Literally.”
obviously team rhys (not that this is a love triangle), but bro i love steffan 🥹
Even when you’re not there, you’re everywhere. In my head, in my lungs, in my fucking soul. And I’m trying very hard not to lose my shit right now, sweetheart, because all I want is to cut off that fucker’s head and serve it on a platter for daring to touch you.
“You got a real pretty face.”
“Look at me.” “Can't.” “Why?” “Too Pretty.”
“Go into your room and lock the door.”
“But first, I want to make one thing clear. From this point on, you’re mine. No other man touches you. If they do…” My fingers dug into her skin. “I know seventy-nine ways to kill a man, and I can make seventy of them look like an accident. Understand?”
“This is for Borgia.” Slap. “And this is for the gardens.” Slap.
what!
“You okay, Princess?”
i'm not!
“You’re so lucky to have a hot bodyguard. Or not, since you can’t hook up with him.” She laughed, and I forced myself to join. “Of course not,” I said. “That would be crazy.”
I was lucky I didn’t hit my eye, or you’d be fucking a pirate impersonator.”
