PAUSE? jacks doesn't want the valory arch open???

Jacks’s hands pressed harder as they went to her shoulders and, one by one, ripped off the sleeves of her dress so that what remained of the gown
completely fell away.
She made a sound somewhere between a squeal and a gasp. “Was that really necessary?”
“No, but everyone should have their clothes ripped off at some point.”

PLEEAASSEEEE JACKS.

“Do you often travel with girls who’ve been flayed?”
This earned her a soft laugh. “No.” Then quietly, as he ran a cloth along her lower back, “Would you be jealous if I did?”
“Of course” came out.
Jacks laughed, louder this time.
Embarrassment surged through her. “That’s not what I meant to say.”
“It’s all right. I’d probably kill another man if I found him with you like this.”

OMG

“Evangeline—” Jacks’s low voice sounded distant, but he must have been there because she could feel him. She could feel the cool of his arms sliding gently under her legs and carefully under her neck as he cradled her to his chest.
“It hurts, Jacks.”
“I know, love. I’m going to take you somewhere safe.”

omg

i thought she was to be trusted tbh. maybe it's the stone?

Evangeline gasped, and at last she pushed him away. “There is no this—I’m married.”
Jacks ran his finger over the smirk playing on his lips. “You keep saying that, Little Fox, as if it’s something I should care about.”
A heartbeat later, he was gone.

lordy

So, this is what you do when I’m not around?”
Evangeline felt the sudden urge to hide inside her wardrobe, but she tamped it down as she turned and met his gaze with a smile of her own. “You think about what I do when you’re not around?”
“Careful, Little Fox.” He took a step forward. “You sound rather excited by the idea.”

AAGGGHHHHH

Jacks dropped a heavy arm around her shoulders, sending a shock straight through her as he pulled her suddenly close. “Want me to kill any of them for you?”
“No, they’re just gossiping.”
“Then what if I merely give them the urge to cut out their
own tongues?” he asked, flashing one of his dimples.

oh my god.

what is the merrywood three and why is jacks apart of it
