Kindle Notes & Highlights
I will tear them all limb from limb, I’ll let their blood coat my skin, wearing it like a cloak and I won’t stop until I have my little bird back in my arms.
She needs me. A King will always protect his Queen, and I may have failed this time, but this motherfucking God is vengeful.
She told me she loved me. I didn’t deserve that, not from her. I didn’t deserve that full stop. Loving me would damn her to hell. I would never let her go, she belonged to me, and now I know she has given me her heart, I’ll do anything to get her back, damned or not.
“Look at me, Silver,” Heart drawls, “stop picturing all the ways you could disembowel the doctor.”
“You think you can hurt yourself and get away with it?” I growl, “You think I’m going to sit here and watch you mutilate this body, this body that is mine!” My anger courses through me and I slam my free hand against the wall, the thump loud to my ears, “What you do with it is on my authority, how it is treated, worshipped, loved and pleasured is my responsibility.”
“Little bird,” I coo, “Tell me.” “You,” she cries, “I’m yours!” “Good girl,” I drop down to my elbows, nuzzling my nose into her hair as I roll my hips slowly but no less deep, “Such a good girl.”
Alexander Silver was both my monster and my savior, but he wasn’t the villain in my story.
“Yes. Lex, I love you, though I’m sure it’ll leave me as damned as you are.”
“I am in love with you too,” I admit, “I never thought it possible, but I love you, little bird. All and every part of you.”
“I will always protect you,” I tell her, “You will always be first.” “Your city comes first,” she breathes, pressing a kiss to my palm. “Not anymore, little bird.” Her eyes open and she stares up at my face, checking for deceit in my words but she’ll find none. I never thought it possible. Weakened by a woman, brought to my knees by a single female who started out as a means to an end but became my queen instead. “I love you,” I whisper against her mouth.
“Look at our city, my love, look at our city whilst I worship its queen.”
