All of his energy was taken up in trying to cope with the excitement, the heightened awareness of living in the present moment.

I used to be dark. I was in a dark place. The monochrome world, entirely devoid of the colors he was now experiencing, had had a calmness that was beautiful in its own way, but it wasn’t somewhere he could go back to. It seemed the happiness that had enabled him to feel this quiet peace was now lost to him forever. And yet he found himself unable to think of this as a loss.

This was the body of a beautiful young woman, conveniently an object of desire, and yet it was a body from which all desire had been eliminated.

Dat kan echt niet omd

In the five years we’d been married this was the first time I’d had to go to work without her handing me my things and seeing me off.
“You’re insane! You’ve completely lost it!”

I could have reached out to her, and my hand would have encountered her warm skin. But for some reason I found myself unable to touch her. I didn’t even want to reach out to her with words.

Darius Acrux had set out to break me from the first moment he’d ever laid eyes on me. And he’d finally gotten his wish.

'Darius’s brow pinched and I knew what his answer was without him having to voice it. Because of course he wouldn’t have. He wasn’t sorry about what he’d done to the Vega twin he’d vowed to get rid of. He was sorry that he’d unknowingly done those things to the girl who he was destined to love.'

“Please, just be mine, Tory,” Darius begged. 
“I’d rather be alone,” I whispered. 

“If fate is so cruel as to only offer me true love with a man who could hurt me as much as you have, then I’ll go without love,” I swore. “You want my heart? I’d sooner cut it out than give it to you.”

It was time for us to choose our fate.
And I didn’t think I’d ever had such an easy decision to make in my entire life.

You’re Roxanya Vega and you weren’t built to bow to anyone,” he growled passionately.

“I don’t want you on your knees. I want you fighting me and hating me and fucking me like you mean it. You’re

“You’re going to be the ruin of me,” Darius growled in my ear and I pushed myself back just enough to look down at him.
“Not if you destroy me first,” I breathed in response as I painted the lines of his jaw with my fingertips.

“Did that piss you off?” he asked.
“Yes,” I snarled.
“Then show me how much,” Darius dared.

“I thought you hated me?” I asked.
“I do,” he agreed. “Because you represent everything I want and everything I can’t have.”

“Because if you’re going to drown then I’m going to drown with you.”

Darkness slid beneath my skin, the touch of it welcome and terrifying at once. But I was like an addict; every time I pulled myself away from them, my reality closed in too sharply around me and I was drawn back to the strange comfort they offered me. “

Mskina ze is helemaal depressief ze heeft niemandd en vindt dat darcy echt wel meer mag doen, zij heeft Lance en beseft tory niet eens meer

A gasp of pain parted my lips and his mouth collided with mine a moment later as my heart leapt at the unexpected turn of this argument. 

Omdd

I turned and stormed from the room before she could respond, my heart breaking into a thousand pieces. And not because of the lies the Heirs had told about us. But because for the first time in my life, I truly felt alone.

:((

“Fuck off, you’re not suicidal,” he replied dismissively. “Nobody burns as hot and cold as you do if they don’t love life.”

“Because we don’t get to choose our obsessions. And you’re mine.”

“So what?” I snapped.
“So I won’t let you ignore me, Roxy,” he snarled. “I’ll have your attention even if I have to take it without your permission.”
“Why?” I demanded. “Why not just go after someone else?”

The thing I feared most in life was boredom. I didn’t want to live an easy life, I wanted to blaze through an adventurous one and I’d choose to burn out entirely before I’d let myself whither in emptiness.

“I think the stars picked you for me, Blue. I think you’re my Elysian Mate.”

“You know, I think that if you want to have this, you’re going to need to do something to earn it,” he said eventually.

'again.
“Fine. If that’s how you want it, then stay my enemy. But don’t forget you asked for it.”
He slammed his fist into my door and I leapt back as a crack split up the centre of the wood, but his retreating footsteps sounded a moment later, letting me know he was gone.'

second.
“So that’s it?” he demanded. “You’re just going to run away from me? Just going to go right back to ignoring me?”

are.
“You were quite fond of that the last time you came here too,” he said. “Do you wanna try it out?”
“Why, are you leaving?” I asked, looking back over my shoulder at him.
“Do you really want me to?” he asked in response.

Darius leaned back in his chair, folding his arms with a frown in place.
