no—he was incandescent with rage. He would kill her.

Kamran caught the eye of a guard hovering—awaiting orders—and with a single glance he issued his first decree as king of Ardunia: Hazan would hang.

Wow i hate him

“Indeed you might,” said Cyrus, who was lifting his sword by inches. “But then, it’s my prerogative to know the name of my bride.”

King

He leaned in, so close she could feel his whisper against her lips as he spoke. “Try to weaponize those eyes against me again and I will have them permanently sewn shut.”

“My kingdom,” he said softly. “For your hand.”

My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder if you will

“I didn’t know your name for so long, angel. I love the way it feels in my mouth.”

IIIIIIII IIIIII IIIII WANT SOMEONE BADDDDDDDLYYYYYYYYYY

“Anything.” He drew his nose along the swell of her breasts, kissing the smooth skin there once, twice, until she made a desperate, broken sound and he swore, low, under his breath. “Alizeh,” he said, sounding drugged. “Can I taste you?”

Im going to do something drastic

“I won’t fight you.” He shook his head. “Forgive me. I never should’ve lifted my sword against you.” “Why not?” She bristled. “You don’t think me a worthy opponent?” “You,” he said ardently, “have always been too worthy. I will not hurt you.”

SHE WAS HEARTACHEEEEE FROM THE MOMENT THAT YOU MET HERRRR

You’ve had the upper hand from the moment I laid eyes on you. I saw you and saw right away that I was in hell, and I hated you for it, because I realized even then that you would be the end of me.”

ITS NEVER OVERRRR

I always thought you were some kind of an angel.”

OH GOD

You are far more enchanting in real life. Far more exquisite.” His voice shook just a little when he said, softly, “It is excruciating to be in your presence.”

Kill me

“Oh, don’t do this,” she said, wiping angrily at her eyes. “This path is too perilous already, and we both know it. Don’t speak of things you cannot give me.” “You have no idea what I could give you,” he said, his own eyes blazing.

Im in misery

Do you know how hard it’s been to pretend I don’t know you? To pretend I don’t want you? To act as if I haven’t known every inch of your body in my dreams? To learn that your heart has been entangled elsewhere? I look at you and I can’t breathe. In my mind, you are already mine.”

SHE LOOKS LIKE THE REALLLL THINGGGGG

“Alizeh, you would make me the most wretched man alive.”

DONT FOOL YOURSELFFFFFF
