“You really should’ve stayed away. You may still be that same little flower who saved me, but then, I’m not known for letting flowers grow …”
It’s too easy to feel hopeful, like I have the power to change a bad man one blowjob at a time. Though I will say, my blowjobs are transformative.
There’s something about the tilt of his face and the gleam in his eyes that reminds me of wild, untamed places. He was right when he said he had more in common with the mountains and clouds than he does with humans.
That doesn’t make me like him any less. If anything, his strangeness makes him more alluring.
I know men, I know them far too well. What I don’t know is this being, with his unnatural powers and otherworldly mind. The only thing human about him is his cruelty.
"I cannot ignore the way you draw me in, again and again."HO-LEE CRAP! I'd forgotten just how dark and heartless the horsemen could be, and then how satisfying it is when they come around.
"This land doesn't belong to humans. It never has, and it never will."Just like in the previous installments of the series, be prepared for a harrowing journey full of violence, blood, gore . . . and impossible love.
The only thing human about him is his cruelty.I think Ana is now my favorite Thalassa heroine!
I might be frightened by the horseman, I might even be cowardly in the face of death, but dammit, I have been and always will be a bold, motherfucking bitch.She was strong, unapologetic and a force to be reckoned with. I also loved how her character provided some comic relief to a very dark story.
Fuck it, even after everything, I'm still an optimist.She proved to be a worthy foil to the horror that Famine surrounded them with.
There's no room for sentimentality in that dark heart of his.And then in the midst of all that horror, Famine slowly starts falling for Ana . . .
His own pain runs deep enough to recognize mine.. . . until, in such utterly improbable fashion, I got knocked on my ass.
"You were made from the earth," I whisper to her skin, "I can feel the universe moving through you, and yet you are something unto yourself."AMAZING!
He literally grew plants to hold me in place.
“You are a kinky freak,” I tell him.
“Shhh …” Famine says, his voice vibrating against my core.
“A kinky control freak,” I amend.
“I’ve never felt so alive before, Ana,” he admits. “It’s wonderfully messy. I think I might like being human after all.”
“Because you are human and I imagine you like compliments far more than I do. And for whatever insufferable reason I want to give you many.”
“You are a human-shaped headache,” he mutters.
“I cannot forget how you saved me and all you have admitted to me since. And I cannot forget how your skin felt against mine and the look in your eyes when I touched you. But most of all, Ana, I cannot ignore the way you draw me in, again and again.”
“I love you, you foolish little flower.”
My heart begins to hammer against my ribcage.
“It’s rather an unfortunate realization,” he says, his breath fanning across my cheeks, “but despite every one of my convictions, I do.”
“I love you,” I interrupt, placing a hand against his jaw. “And I can’t believe I get to have you, you sadistic little shit.”
