“I’d envisioned sitting in the observatory by my lonesome until I’m old and feeble.” “That—That sounds lonely.” “It’s... I guess it is.
the reason this is surprising to you is because you have eyes on either side of your head approximately seven inches apart that blink independently. hope this helps.
Sitting with this omega under the stars, though... Even though they had some life-changing news on the horizon, Otto felt completely at peace with the world, because Caulin was in his arms.
this omega went into heat and they only fucked once. I'm convinced the author skimmed a Wikipedia article on omegaverse and immediately launched into writing it.
“Well, it’s a good thing you showed up, because he owes me rent.” Caulin winced. He hadn’t meant to involve Jones in his troubles. “How much?” Jones asked in the next breath.
literally zero consequences!!!!! this "alpha" will let attempted abduction and sexual assault off with a warning, and he'll just pay off a murderous, aggressive, thieving landlord. it's so pathetic and cringe and baffling and pointless and
On the far side of the room, a black punching back hung from the ceiling. And Jones circled it in the same T-shirt and jeans he’d been wearing tonight, but he’d donned a pair of boxing gloves, viciously striking that bag. The look on his face, though—it was full of cold anger, as though he wanted to tear into someone.
this is soooo embarassingggggg 😭😭😭😭 like it's not intimidating or hot or protective or whatever because you DON'T TAKE ACTION WHEN IT MATTERS. ooh, you have physical prowess, super strength, and protective tendencies, but you only unleash it on your widdle punching bag? grow up
He pressed his nose close to his shoulder and sniffed, his heart thumping. Laid over his daffodil scent was the faintest trace of honey. That was the scent of pregnant omegas.
I haven't seen a day-after pregnancy since the glory days of fanfiction.net. well done, stunningly out of touch with science. I'm actually starting to think the author was homeschooled by evangelicals.
“You don’t have to worry. I really like you.” “Even if I’m—” “There’s just more for me to kiss.” Otto kissed his lips. “Why don’t you let me prove it to you?”
I'm struggling to keep fighting through this. I'm waning. I can't keep reading the same fucking three conversations recycled ad nauseum for hundreds of pages.
It felt so strange, stepping into Otto’s bathroom. His private space. In here, everything smelled like sycamore and soap. Caulin left the lights off and the door ajar, so he could find the shower knob, but not see himself.
Alright, I decided to try and tough out the rest of this book because it energizes me to hate with abandon. my first wtf about this paragraph is, of course, how baffling this comment is when Otto has fucked you in his shower before. do we not recall? and also, the last thing I want to remember is that you shower in the dark you freakazoid
Out of the blue, Otto felt pressure rising through his gullet, not really thinking about it until it made its way to his mouth. It was just a burp.
I wish to god I could copy-paste this whole scene. it goes from "ew morning sickness" to "why didn't your parents kiss you?" to a giant sausage burp that literally makes caulin blow chunks. where am I
“I’m glad you found me,” Otto said in Caulin’s ear. “I wouldn’t have known that any of this was possible.”
hanging out the back of a grocery store with a bunch of dumpster diving twenty-somethings while mall-hugging your pregnant baby-daddy that you only met last month wouldn't have been possible? given that he's an astronomer, it makes sense that this guy shoots for the stars
“I’ve been thinking about hash brown cheeseburgers. You know, with the crispy hash brown patties replacing the buns. And dill pickle slices under the cheese.” “That sounds sinful,” Otto rumbled, angling a smile at him. “Let’s stop by Tinto’s on the way home.”
I cannot express how "Tintos" is the equivalent of ice water down the back. Tintos is the boner-killler
They headed to Tinto’s, grabbed some reusable bags and a cart, and stepped through the main entrance. Even though Caulin had been here with Otto a few times by now, it still felt so strange, coming in as a paying customer and not just to ogle the items that didn’t make it into the dumpsters.
