Then his hands are on my cheeks, sliding back to cup the base of my neck as he brings his mouth to mine.
Sooo crazzyyyy, I mean good.. but crazy that he did that.
The kiss is reckless and consuming, and I give it my all, knowing it might be the last one. His tongue licks into my mouth with an urgency I return, angling to take him deeper.
🤭🥴
He only breaks the kiss when we’re both panting, then rests his forehead against mine. “Leave for me, Violet.”
Damn. Such a good kiss and yet he used it to get her to leave..crazy that he played her like that.
My heart sinks like a rock, pinning my feet in place. “I will hate you for this.” “Yeah.” He nods, a flash of pure regret crossing his face
Damn. Smh. I guess he had to do what he had to do but it’s still fucked up.
His hands fall away from my face and reach for my arms, lifting them so I’m shaped like a T. “Arms up. Hold tight.” “Fuck. You.”
Fair reaction.
“Still hate me?” “Absolutely.” That’s not entirely true, but it’s easy to blame all the guilt I’ve been eating for two straight days on him.
Fair. That’s fair.
“Quit telling Sgaeyl about my sleep habits,” I grumble at Tairn. “I’m not dignifying that demand with a response.” “Andarna is my favorite.” Tairn snorts.
😂😂😂
“I haven’t slept well since the night my father left Aretia to declare the secession.”
That’s sad.
“You were—” I pause. “I don’t even know how old you are now.” Mira was right. I know almost nothing about him.
First of all… this is simple math baby. If you have to be 20 when you join the quadrant.. and he’s 2 years older than you…you can guess🙄. Don’t be dramatic.
“Twenty-three,” he answers. “My birthday was in March.” And I didn’t even know. “Mine is in—” “July,” he answers with a ghost of a smile.
He’s definitely a Pisces man..gotta be. He first the criteria. 🥴😂. & look at himmmmm knowing her birthday and so happy he does. Cuteee♥️
“I know. I made it my business to know everything there was to know about you the second I saw you on the parapet.”
Efficient. Creepy. A tad obsessive.
“Can’t know how to ruin someone without understanding them first,” he says quietly.
Fair points are made.
“And is that still your plan?” Mira’s words have haunted me for two days. He flinches. “No.”
🤭 oooooooo.
Frustration tightens my grip on the mug. “When exactly did you decide not to ruin me?”
Wouldn’t you like to know. 🥴
Maybe it was the first time I recklessly kissed you or when I realized I’m fucked because I can’t stop thinking about doing more than just kissing you.”
Teehee🤭♥️. A moment.
he just sighs, lets his head fall back against the wall. “Does it even matter when, as long as it changed between us?”
My mans is laying it out there for her. I’m just coming to that realization. He’s saying what it is w/out actually saying what it is.
“Don’t do what? Tell you I can’t get you out of my head? Or speak directly into yours?”
🤭🤭🤭
“Either.” “You could learn to do it, too.”
This whole scene is a moment.
And there, swirling along the edge of the roofline, is a shadow of sparkling night. Xaden.
& there it is. 🤭
“Guess you two had the same idea,” Dain says when he sees us, coming to stand along the wall beside me.
Boooooooo. Go away. You’re ruining the moment. 🙄
“Are you hungry? Do you want to get breakfast?” “No, dumbass, she doesn’t, obviously.”
😂😂😂 Xaden behavee.
“Knock that the fuck off,” I toss back. “No thank you.” “Look who figured it out.” Xaden’s mouth quirks upward for a heartbeat.
He’s so annoying. 😂😂
It’s the saddle strapped across his back that has me gawking. “I hear it’s all the fashion,” Tairn brags.
Tairn said he’s a bad bitch honey💁🏽♀️😂
Just because your body is built differently than the others doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to keep your seat. It takes more than a few strips of leather and a pommel to define a rider.”
That part ❗️👏🏽👏🏽
“Fuck, that stubborn, feisty look always makes me want to kiss you.” Xaden’s expression remains bland, bored even, but his eyes heat as his gaze drops to my mouth.
Oop-. Now Xadeennnn.🤭 staaawwppp.
“And you say this now, where people will see if you actually do.” My breath catches.
Oop-…👀🤭
“When did I ever give you the impression that I give a fuck what people think about me?”
Right !? That’s not his style at all !
“I only care what they think about you.” Because he’s a wingleader. Nothing is worse than cadets gossiping that you’ve slept your way to safety.
Of course that’s what the haters would say. 🙄..but girl, fuck em ! 🖕🏽
I rip my gaze from his and study the exquisite, intricate structure of the saddle. “It’s beautiful. Thank you, Xaden.” “You’re welcome.”
You know I’m starting to think his love language is acts of service and gifts.
shiver dances down my spine when his lips brush my ear. “Consider my favor fulfilled.”
🥴🥰
“Bet it would be even more awkward if I kissed you now, huh?” Yes, please. “The next time we kiss had better not be just to piss off Dain.”
Lmaaooo, that’s fair Vi.
“Next time, huh?” His gaze lowers to my mouth again. And of course, now that’s all I’m thinking about, the feel of his lips on mine,
Annoyinggggg, cause why you playingggggg 🥴
“Liam!” The scream tears from my throat as Jack kicks his boot into Liam’s stomach, forcing Liam’s body off the blade…and Deigh. No. No. No.
Fucking foreshadowing… Count your MF days Rebecca ! 🙄
Jack falls down the mountainside in an avalanche of rock that I know he can’t survive.
And yet…🙄
Tairn roars with the unmistakable sound of pride. “Lightning wielder.”
PERIOOODDDD 😛💁🏽♀️👏🏽👏🏽
“The world is a better place without Barlowe in it. We both know that. Do I wish I’d been the one to end his miserable life? Absolutely.
Right, like girl.. I would not be wasting my years on him. 💁🏽♀️
His dragon will choose another rider when she’s ready. I’m glad he’s dead. I am glad you killed him.”
We all were. Jack fucking Barlowe.
“You don’t have to use your power, Vi,” Dain starts, his voice soft and comforting. “Stop. Fucking. Coddling. Her.” Xaden bites out
Complete opposites. It’s almost jarring.
You are not just a weapon, Sorrengail. You are the weapon. You train this ability, own it, and you’ll have the power to defend an entire kingdom.”
She really is the most powerful rider of their generation. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. We love to see it❗️
Keeping my eyes locked on his, I fling the dagger at the target. The satisfying sound of split wood tells me I hit true. “Fuck, that’s hotter than it should be.”
I always wanted to throw daggers and knives.
“So then why are you here, Xaden?” “Because I can’t seem to stay away.”
Eeeppp🤭
“Come on,” he whispers. “Show me what you’ve got.” I surge up on my toes and kiss him.
Eeepp🤭
“You walk into a room, and I can’t look away. I get anywhere near you, and this is what happens. Instantly hard. Fucking hell, I can barely think when you’re around.”
🤭teeheeeee. 🥰💁🏽♀️
“Fuck me, this hair,” he says, then hovers his mouth over mine. “And this mouth. All I ever want to do is kiss you, even when you piss me off.”
He is really obsessed with/ her hair. 🤭🤭
“Look at you. You’re fucking beautiful, Violet. Let go for me.” His words curl around my mind, his mouth fused to mine, and the intimacy of it pushes me to the limit of pleasure and then right over it.
Here we gooo..Loving iiittt.
“I need all of you.” “You’re going to be the death of me, Violet.” Whatever’s left of his control slips, and he takes me completely with one hard thrust.
What a fun time you’re about to have Violet. 🤭
“You feel so fucking good.” He slams back into me, again and again, as he sets a brutal, steady pace, his mouth sliding down my neck as his hand rises to cup my breast.
Xadeennnnn🤭🥴
I can’t even think around the maddening pleasure as my back pounds the armoire door with every thrust, filling the room with the sound of our straining bodies and creaking wood.
Just enjoy the ride. 😂
“Fuck, I’m never going to get enough of you, am I?” he says, his face buried in my neck as I arch into him. “Shut up and fuck me, Riorson.”
Oop-.. Violet. 😂🥴 alrighty then.
“Xaden,” I cry out, simultaneously writhing yet holding on to him like he’s the only thing anchoring me to the earth.
Hey, this line comes back into play in IF.
