“Don't be afraid" he whispered against her lips "This life is nothing but one blink of God's eyes. He'll blink again, and we'll be back together”

“You stared at me constantly, followed me everywhere I went. You watched me sleep, Kingsley"
"How did you know that?"
Kingsey shivered as Søren's laugh rippled through the woods.
"I watched you watch me”

“Is that all you want?â€�

At that, he reaches for me, and pulls me toward him so that we’re standing face to face. “Well, I want you, but I didn’t think I had to say that,� he says. “In whatever capacity I can have you, for however long you want me, I’m yours.�

I smile, rolling onto the balls of my feet to kiss him softly.

â€�Yana Crebesti,â€� I murmur against his lips. “No matter what comes.”

“Don’t make me laugh. You begged for it. Night after night, you begged for it.â€�
“Of course I did. Pain is the only way you know how to show love.�
“It’s not the only way I know how to show love. It’s the only way I chose to with you.”

“Don't even think about it." Søren said as Kingsley pulled his coat and gloves off.
"I'm always thinking about it." Kingsley said. "I brought the lube."
"Kingsley, it's not even five in the morning yet."
"You beat me this early before."
"I was attempting to wake you up."
"With your alarm cock?”

“Her name is Queen Theodosia, and if you won’t apologize for disrespecting her, I’ll let her men have you and I’ll describe your last moments to your wife so that she knows how pathetically you died.â€�

Mattin grunts, eyes dropping away. “I apologize,� he says through gritted teeth.

Søren looks tempted to extract something more sincere out of him, but that would hardly be productive. I clear my throat.

“I accept your apology,â€� I say coldly. “I hope you come to see that a woman can wield power beyond what’s between her legs—for your daughter’s sake if nothing else.”

“All is fair in love and sadism.”

“You said they were a…religiousâ€�?â€�

“Oligarchy,� he finishes. “Ruled by five high priests, who are in turn elected by smaller delegations of regular priests, one for each sub-country. Though the common belief is that each high priest is chosen by God himself.�

“God?� Artemisia asks.

“They’re monotheistic, yes,� he says.

She rolls her eyes. “Just say there’s only one. You aren’t in court, your fancy words don’t impress anyone.”

“We’re here, you and I. We’re not going away. We’re here, if for no other reason than God wants us here, and He gets the final say.”
― Tiffany Reisz, The Saint

“My love for you isn’t going anywhere, I promise. Only my body." Søren”
― Tiffany Reisz, The Queen

“Spiros and the other guards move in front of us, clearing a path to the gangway—a thick wooden plank leading from our ship to theirs. The sight of it makes my stomach clench and I imagine all the ways I could topple off it. Spiros crosses first, the plank rattling beneath his feet with each step he takes, though he hardly seems to notice it. He’s done this before, of course. So has Søren—I’m the only one new at this.

“If it helps,� Søren murmurs to me, “I’ve never seen anyone fall off a gangway unless someone pushed them.�

“Thank you,â€� I reply dryly, before taking my first step onto the rickety plank.”
― Laura Sebastian, Lady Smoke
