“I love you, and Orpheus is falling for you. You’re stuck with us, Charon.” “By stuck with you, you mean I’m the luckiest son of a bitch in Olympus.” His eyes start to drift closed. “Will you stay with me for a while?” Eurydice and I exchange a look. I smile. “Yeah, Charon. But not just a little while—we’ll stay with you forever.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“Look, I love Orpheus. Even with all of the bullshit and baggage, I don’t think I ever stopped loving him.” She holds Charon’s gaze. “I love you too. You’ve been my best friend for a year, and you’ve given me the space and safety to learn things about myself I didn’t think were possible. I know it’s greedy, but I don’t care. I want both of you.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“Does the name Circe mean anything to you?” I search the faces on the screen, looking for recognition. I don’t know who this person is, but I can connect the dots when they’re laid out in front of me. She is Minos’s benefactor. Which means she’s the enemy. I’m not comforted by the confused looks on everyone’s faces—except three. Zeus, Ares… And Hermes.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“No.” He still doesn’t raise his voice. “I understand you wanting to protect your little sister, and I respect the desire. But she wants to play in the dangerous arena of politics. She’ll do it with or without our blessing, little siren. Which means we go about this in the proper way.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“I take Ariadne’s hands and squeeze until she meets my gaze. “I have to call someone for help. I know this is scary, but we’ll go to a clinic right now. I will stay with you the whole time.”

“I’m pregnant. I need an abortion. As soon as feasibly possible.” I stare. Who…? But then, it doesn’t matter, does it? I’m doubly glad I chose not to call my mother now, because I can’t guarantee what she would do with this information. The pregnancy has to be caused by someone in Minos’s household, and I highly doubt it’s Theseus. Of the other three men left living with her, two of them are related to Ariadne. While I can’t rule anything out, I don’t think Minos is guilty of that. And Icarus certainly isn’t. Which leaves the Minotaur.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“What I want is you.” He slices a hand through the air. “You, Eurydice. Whatever that means, whoever that includes. If that means he comes too, then so be it.” “Just like that,” I whisper. “Surely it’s not that simple.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“The lone streetlight overhead gives off barely enough light to see through the fogged windows to the bodies moving within. Even with the slight distortion, I recognize them. Eurydice is on Charon’s lap, her back to his chest, riding him with her legs spread wide. He kisses her neck and has one hand cupping her pussy, stroking her clit in the exact motion that will get her off, while the other plays with her tits. He’s got a big cock. It’s a strange thing to notice, but even from here, I can see the way he spreads her. It makes my stomach flip and my skin go tight. Jealousy. Anger. Even desire. It’s all there, but I can barely feel those emotions.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“Tease you until you’re begging for it. Not in the back seat of my fucking car where anyone can see you taking my cock like a good girl.” “Charon.” Eurydice licks my throat. “Maybe I want them to see.” She’s writhing against me almost desperately. “If you don’t fuck me right now, I think I might die. We’ve waited so long. You can seduce me properly later. Please.” I should deny her, but I’m already shifting back so she can grip my cock and guide me to her entrance. The feeling of being dragged through her wetness muddies my mind, but I still have the presence to grit out. “Condom.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“Whatever you did tonight? It was reckless. I ought to put you over my knee and paddle your ass.”

“I’ve loved Eurydice for a long time now. I can admit that to myself even if I can’t speak it aloud to anyone else. I’ve waited this long. If I have to wait forever, then that’s what I’ll do. “Okay.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“Take the leap with me, baby. We can figure things out on our way down. We already have a strong-as-shit foundation of caring and mutual respect. I love you.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“But you threw this gauntlet at my feet, and now you have a choice. You don’t get to decide what I deserve. I’m the only one who can do that. I’m not expecting you to be without scars, baby. No one is. But I’m offering you all of me. Heart. Body. Soul. You said you care about me. Let’s give this a shot.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“If we were more, you wouldn’t be trying to ride someone else’s cock without talking to me first.”

“Unless you plan on fucking me, get out of my way.” I make it a grand total of four steps before a hand presses to my stomach, stopping me easily and pinning me against a hard body at my back. Charon’s body. In my heels, we’re the same height, so he has no problem speaking directly into my ear. “Fine, Eurydice. You want to have this conversation? Then we’ll have it. Right here. Right now.”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“He’s my friend. My best friend. He also inspires some of the filthiest fantasies I’ve ever allowed myself to indulge in.”

― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“The seeds of this version of Orpheus and Eurydice were sown with the soundtrack of Hadestown. Thank you for all the inspiration!”
― Katee Robert, Midnight Ruin

“A lot of people who work for Hades have similar stories. Minthe once joked that we’re like the Island of Misfit Toys, and she’s not wrong. Hades has a habit of collecting the desperate, the broken, and the hopeless. Then he gives us a home. Acceptance. Safety. As a result, every one of us would die for him.”
