She might not be looking her best right now—her skin is pale, her makeup is smeared all over her face, and she’s got obvious tear tracks down her cheeks—but she’s beautiful. She always will be to me.
Stella’s breathing evens out, and I start to think she’s drifted off to sleep. But just as I close my eyes to do the same, my name floats through the air.
“I love you.”
‘I love you,’ I mouth across the table, making her smile widen before she returns the sentiment.
He wants her. End of.
“You fucking hurt her, and she won’t be the only woman you need to be scared of.”
“Nice try, Princess. I’m already fucking terrified of you.”
“Just so you know,” he finally breathes, his voice deep and terrifying, “if you hurt him, I’ll rip your heart out with my bare hands.”
I’m not a hugger; I never have been. But the second she returns my embrace, I realize that I never want to let go. “Oh my God,” I whimper, barely holding myself together as she trembles.
“My baby,” she whispers, her voice full of awe as if she can’t believe I’m actually standing here before her. “You’re so b-beautiful. I’ve seen photographs but…” She shakes her head. “I’m so sorry.”
“You were always going to be Seb’s, Stella. I’m glad too. Looking forward to making up for lost time.”
“Whore.” “Yours.” “Hell yeah, Princess. All fucking mine.”
“Fuck, Princess. I love you. I fucking love you so much,”
I hated him. I hated him so fucking much.
Now he’s my everything, and I can’t imagine my life without him in it.
“This,” he says, pointing between the two of us, “is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. Fuck what anyone outside the two of you says or tries to do. Hold on tight and never fucking let go. Ever.”
“You got yourself in a right mess here, hey Doukas?”
“Nice work, Princess. I’m impressed,” Daemon says, stopping beside us. My eyes widen. No one ever impresses that cunt.
“You’re a dirty fucking whore, Hellion,” he says, holding my eyes as he rubs my clit. “And you’re my whole fucking world.”
“I love you, Hellion.” Her face softens, a content smile pulling at her lips. “I can’t wait to burn the rest of hell down together.”
might have been my first, he won’t be my last, because if anyone, and I literally mean anyone, threatens or hurts any of my family again, I’ll be the first there with my fucking gun to prove a point.
