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.
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.
I had her at my side and it turned my whole world upside down and now she’s not there, everything I’ve ever known doesn’t make any sense. The only thing that matters now is getting her back. I’ll pile the bodies and I’ll stain the streets until she’s here. Where she belongs.
“I’m going to make him pay for this, mark my words little bird, you’ll be standing at my side whilst we watch his heart beat in my fist. I’ll make it rain, little bird. For you. Always for you.”
“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.
“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.
“How does it feel to be fucked in front of our entire kingdom?”
“Look at our city, my love, look at our city whilst I worship its queen.”
“You realize there is an audience,” I breathe as his mouth descends onto mine, his tongue slipping between my lips. “Let them watch,” he rasps, “It can’t help just reminding them all that you belong to me.” “Like they could forget.” “So much sass, Mrs Silver,” he tuts, “do you enjoy spoiling all my fun?”
