Lord of London Town Quotes Showing 1-21 of 21
“I loved him. I loved Arthur more than life itself. His darkness and his lifestyle meant nothing compared to that. I loved him despite the malice in his soul. I loved him because of it. Not everyone was meant for a life of roses and summer days, all pretty petals and fragrant perfumes. Some were meant for a life of winter and thorns.
It didn’t mean they couldn’t have love.”
Tillie Cole, Lord of London Town

Ruined.”
Tillie Cole, Lord of London Town
“I’m here for you. Let me be here for you.” Holding my head close to her, embracing me and fucking keeping me breathing, she said, “Let me love you.”

Tillie Cole, Lord of London Town

Tillie Cole, Lord of London Town

Tillie Cole, Lord of London Town
“Devil. That seemed a good title for Arthur. Most people were terrified of him. He was unapproachable, with eyes that could cut you where you stood. And he had the allure of Satan too. A magnet to sin and temptation, stirring wants and desires inside of me that were anything but chaste and holy. And if the rumours were true, he had the evilness of the dark lord too.”
Tillie Cole, Lord of London Town
“dropped my ebony king right beside her ivory queen. One light. One dark. Opposing sides. “Queens who pretend they crave the darkness, but in truth want a noble knight on a white horse that will whisk her away to a castle like some fucking fairy tale.”
Tillie Cole, Lord of London Town

Tillie Cole, Lord of London Town
“They’ve opened the gates of hell, and the fucking devil and his demons are now leading the charge.”

It was worth it all.”
Tillie Cole, Lord of London Town
“Try your best to destroy me, Arthur. Try your best to break me apart. But I’ll still be here when you’re exhausted, my claws sunk deeply into your flesh as you drag us both to hell.”
“I won’t let you go,” he warned, and shivers ran down my spine at the malevolent honesty of the threat. “You want to rule at my side? Then I’ll never let you leave me. If you walk by my side, you can never ever fucking leave.”
Tillie Cole, Lord of London Town
