Kindle Notes & Highlights
"That's my girl," Ethan purred like a satisfied tomcat as he watched me come for him with his eyes alight with need. "Are you going to let me live out my fantasies now?"
“Let me take care of you,” I commanded. I wasn’t going to let her refuse this, I couldn’t. My Lion nature was begging me to look after her and I didn’t dare let my thoughts latch on to what that meant. I just had to do this. I could no easier stop the sun from rising than stop myself from helping her.
"Any man lucky enough to be blessed by the stars to have you as their mate should be praising their fortune and holding onto you as tightly as they can. You're one in a million, Rosa, you shine brighter than any star and you burn with more heat too. If I was blessed with a mate even half as beautiful and fierce and strong as you then I would wrap my arms around her and never let go. I'd give anything to have a girl like you, little pup."
"I've never met a single soul with even half as much fire in their heart as burns in yours. You're wild and captivating and freer than anyone in this place has any right to be. And I promise to get you out of here too. Whatever it takes."
"Nah, wild girl, I don't think so. I've done enough bad shit, good shit and damn outrageous shit in my lifetime to figure out that there's a difference between what's easy and what's worthwhile. And you, sweetheart, are the most worthwhile Fae I've met during my entire incarceration and maybe even before that too. I don't want a sex fest with a pack of Wolves, I want the undivided attention of the Alpha, and all the time you keep looking at me like that, I'm not taking my gaze off of you."
What was with all of these stronzos thinking they could manhandle me all of the damn time? And what was with me liking it so fucking much?
"Tell me you don't feel this," he demanded. "Tell me you aren't burning up with the need to see me, touch me, kiss me- it's driving me to the brink of insanity and yet you were willing to abandon me here and make us both suffer that ache for the rest of our lives? What the fuck, Rosalie?"
"Can the three of you take your shirts off before you start fighting? And if anyone happens to have some baby oil with them…"
"This isn't a joke," he growled, all alpha male and angry and my thighs clenched together at his tone. "Then why don't you win and show them all who owns me, anima gemella?" I purred.
"We were about to get naked," Sin explained. "So either strip down or fuck off, yeah?"
She was a goddess, a fucking queen. I didn’t know when I’d realised that, but I knew it in the depths of my soul and I wouldn’t let this piece of shit get away with disrespecting her.
“I ache for you in the dark and pine for you in the light. There’s no moment day or night that I don’t want you. It’s more than desire, I think it’s even more than love. Fuck, Rosalie, if you weren’t an Oscura, if there was some other way-”
I'd gladly spill the blood of her enemies again and again until there was no creature left on earth who'd dare touch her.
And fall for her at the same time. Because I was a goner. Fucking ruined by this girl. She'd tortured me, cursed me and now she'd claimed me too.
"Let me follow you when you run, Rosalie," Ethan murmured, making my heart thrum like the wings of a hummingbird. "Let's get out of here and figure out how to make this work. I can't keep being without you. It's tearing my heart to ribbons." "You'd follow me back to my family?"
"I think I'd follow you to the moon itself at this point," he sighed.
"I love you, Rosa. I love you in all the ways I thought I shouldn't and I'm sick of being afraid of that. I'm sick of wanting you and not having you. Of needing you and not owning you. I meant it when I said I wanted to run away to a desert island with you. But I'd stay in Darkmore for the rest of my life if this was the only place where you were too."
