Status Updates From Kiss of Seduction (Court of...

“I love you, Natalya.” Evie touched the silver Chain pendant around her neck. “I love you more than anything.”
Smiling down at her, Natalya put her hand over Evie’s. Over her fingers that were touching the pendant. There was nothing wanting in her features then. Just wonderful joy. “I love you, darling. I’ll love you forever. I promise.”

“You are beautiful, Evie. You’re so strong. You’re the bravest person I know. You being mine makes me the happiest creature in existence.”

"It was intoxicating to be allowed to do this. To be trusted by someone as guarded as her. By someone who had once lost her freedom to trust being misplaced."

“I love you, darling.” She kissed Evie. Softly at first and then with demand.
“I love you too,” Evie managed between kisses.
Nothing had ever felt more right to say. Nothing had ever felt easier. Never had Evie been so sure about anything.

"Love. Bright and pure and earnest. Without a hint of fear. Without a hint of doubt. Streaming out of Evie, echoing in Natalya’s body, was relief, joy, and genuine love.

“Forever,” Evie whispered against Natalya’s lips. “I’m yours forever.”"

🥹💘😭

"You’re wonderful. You’re kind and caring. You’ve been through more than anyone should, and you’re still you."

“I’m so messed up… Every time I think I’m getting better, something happens and it ruins everything. It ruins me. You shouldn’t bother yourself with someone like that. You could have anyone you wanted.”
“I don’t want anyone else. I only want you.”

“Mine,” Natalya whispered into Evie’s hair. She didn’t sound possessive anymore. She just sounded happy. “My Evie. My sweet, sweet Evie.”

"You deserve to be cared about. You are beautiful, darling. You are strong. And you are brave. You are one of the bravest people I’ve ever met. You may not believe these things about yourself but believe that I know them to be true. Eventually, you will too.”

I love them so much!! 😭💘 I love this book!!!

"Without saying anything, she got into bed, putting her arms around her and pulling her close so they faced each other, Evie’s head resting against her chest. The embrace filled her body with wonderful warmth. It was calming. It was safe. Evie sighed with relief and curled in closer."

"What bliss it was to feel Natalya against her. To be held by her, touched by her, be protected by her. To feel safe with her. It made Evie forget that anything else had ever mattered. Nothing was as wonderful as having her arms around this beautiful woman."

“You’re doing very well, darling.”

"Darling. Give me your hand.” Her voice was calm but assertive. It was a tone that didn’t invite arguments. And her use of the word ‘darling’ made Evie feel strangely fuzzy inside.
“You’re bossy,” Evie muttered, giving Natalya her hand.
Natalya huffed out a short laugh, the sternness fading from her eyes. “You have no idea.”

“You’re alright, darling.” 🥹💘
