“The sky, too, is soft,” she said. “Yet all who fall into its arms will perish.”
LOL
How long would she be forced to fight for her life? More important: Was her life really worth so much effort?
“With all due offense, sire, please fuck off.”
Bahahahhahahah yes
She has no interest in overthrowing you, in any case. She is a tenderhearted young woman who wishes only to be left alone.”
“If you think I will tell you anything about her,” Hazan said darkly, “you are quite deluded. Now either kill me or fuck off.”
“And you are asking me to assist you in murdering the young woman who is meant to be the salvation of my people.”
Stoopid
“I would sooner die.”
Hot
“No. I think I prefer the real Hazan.”
Mhm me too
Lift a finger against her prematurely and I won’t hesitate to kill you myself.”
Daddy
“Forgive me,” said Cyrus quietly, “but do you intend to make it a habit of wearing transparent garments in my presence? Do tell me now, I beg you, so that I might blind myself in anticipation.”
Tehehehhehhe
“God, you’re so beautiful,” he said, his smile vanishing. “Even when you lie to me.”
😫😫
“YOU GAVE MY JOB TO the child?”
LOL ntm on omid
“I think you’re a righteous ass.”
“A shame, isn’t it? That you’ve never given him reason to think otherwise.”
Hahah love this new dynamic
“I don’t understand. You can’t hear her name without experiencing . . . what? Pain?”
Interestingggg
“It’s not always pain. I feel . . . different things each time, and it only started this morning. You don’t happen to know what’s wrong with me?”
Grrrrrr, what does this meaaan
“But if she has some kind of hold on you from so far away, only a powerful magic can be involved. I know little more than that.”
Ugh grrrr i hope theyre not mates #teamcyrus
“I see I have an unexpected ally in Miss Huda, then.”
Okay court of Alizeh, ASSEMBLE!!!
“I hate you,” he whispered. Alizeh blinked, her heart pounding too hard in her chest. “I know.” He leaned in then, his throat working, his gaze fixed entirely on her mouth. “I hate everything about you. Your eyes. Your lips. Your smile.” His words grazed her skin when he said, softly, “I find your presence insufferable.”
“I need you,” he said roughly. “Don’t run away from me.”
I AM SEATEDD
“And then you threw me off a cliff,” she said, her voice a bit breathless even to her own ears. “You wouldn’t stop threatening to kill me,” he said angrily, turning back to face her. “I was merely trying to change the subject.”
“I’m not sorry I threw you off a cliff.”
“She is the hope of an entire civilization—she is not some girl to be trifled with, to pass the hours on a dull day—”
PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY GIRL FR
“Tell me one thing,” Cyrus said bitterly. “Just how many men do you have wrapped around your finger?”
Ok jealous
And you have a single little freckle in the hollow at the base of your throat.”
Ok obsessed much?
“Well,” she said, “because I’ve recently deduced that you’re quite charmingly pathetic.” He sighed. “Really? You’re choosing this moment to insult me?” “And I have a theory,” she went on, “that if I were badly wounded, you would help me. True or false?” He went silent. He was silent so long Alizeh had time enough to watch a drop of dew drip off a glossy green leaf. “True or false, Cyrus?” She heard his uneven exhale, the raw edge to his voice when he said, irritably, “False.” The nosta flashed cold. “Liar,” she whispered. “I don’t care for this game.”
THIS IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE THING EVER
“You mean, you were trying to console me?” “Bloody hell, Alizeh, knock it off.” “All right, okay,” she said with a sigh. “Good.” “Me?” she said again. “You were trying to console me?”
UGH PLEASEEEE
“I didn’t know your name for so long, angel. I love the way it feels in my mouth.”
“Don’t be afraid of me, angel. I won’t hurt you. I’ll never hurt you.”
AHHHHH
“Then be with me,” he said softly. “Let me worship you.”
UGGGHHHHH
“You have no idea what I want. I have been in agony for eight months, Alizeh. 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.”
PLEASEEEEEE
“No, I could never be with you,” she said. “Not because I am indifferent, but because you could never be faithful to me—you could never choose me first—and you should not blame me for my fears.”
NOOOOOO
You might break me just to please him.”
