“How could you not know I wanted you?"
Never in her life had Lorelei been subjected to so many emotions at once. "How could I have possibly known? If you truly wanted me" - she stumbled over the words - "why have you bene such a menace all this time?"
"Because you despise me! You think me beneath you. I could see it in your eyes, and I... God, I would have done anything to earn your respect, your attention. I just wanted you to look at me." Sylvia floundered for a moment. "When you do, I... It's terrifying. It's exhilarating. You're like something out of a nightmare.”
― A Dark and Drowning Tide

“Tell me," She said. "Do you still think me cruel? Would you like to see the depths of it?”

“She wanted and wanted and wanted, so much and so deeply she feared her greed was boundless when it came to Sylvia von Wolff. And yet, she had ensured she would never have her again. Sometimes, she despised herself. Most of the time, really.”

“I want you, Lorelei.
Her entire body sang with those words. She wanted all of her. Her every petty barb, every cruelty she could enact, every meager sweetness dripped onto her tongue like honey. Lorelei had not thought herself capable of feeling like this. Passionately, insatiably, recklessly. It terrified her, to have all her control unraveling and slipping away from her, all her walls crumbling. She needed Sylvia to experience even a flicker of what threatened to consume her now.”
