Queen Takes Rose Quotes

“But if you want to make it up to me, I’m not going to stop you.” “Good.” She nudges me back to the couch and topples me onto it. Then she’s between my thighs, running her hands over my hips. She hesitates. “I mean it, Malone. I did miss you. I do love you.” “I love you, too.” I give her hair another little tug. “Now, show me, and then I’m going to spend the rest of the day returning the favor.” Her grin is as bright as the sun. “Yes, Mistress.”

“Lies.” Gods, this hurts. I didn’t expect it to hurt so much. “You spent ten days fucking me, letting me hold you, talking with me, coaxing me to let you in. All the while, you were thinking of ways to kill me.” I shake my head. “You’ve accomplished your goal.” “What are you talking about?” “You might not have wielded a literal blade, but you’ve broken my fucking heart.” I turn away. “Get out. Sara will take you back to the Underworld.” “Wait.”

“I’m happy I could be there for you.” It’s the truth, though not the truth I want to say. I have the sinking sensation that I won’t ever be able to tell Aurora my truth. That I love her despite it being too soon, despite us spending a decade being on the opposite side of a line I only managed to cross a few short days ago. I love her, and I’m going to lose her.”

“You have them all fooled.” I don’t mean to speak, but seeing her pull on her sunshine mask irritates me for some reason. “They see the sweet, biddable Aurora because that’s what you want them to see.
