A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows (Stars and Shadows, #1)

by Holly Renee

“I think we both know that I could do things to you that my brother would never dream of.”

“I may not be the Achlys that gets to claim you, but I was the first to look upon you. The first to dream of your star-marked face and imagine what it would look like beneath me.”

“It doesn’t matter that you are destined to be his. Every part of you is begging to be mine.”

He kissed me as if every bit of the power that was prophesied to flow through my body fueled him with every swipe of his tongue.

“Tell me that you’re mine, princess. Even if it isn’t true, I need to hear you say it.”

“There is nothing you can do that would be wrong, princess. However you want to touch me is more than I could ever beg of the gods.”

You are their savior but my demise. You are to ruin every part of me.”

“I don’t give a damn if it was my father himself, princess. No one will hurt you and not see the end of my blade.”
