“This is what we will become to one another: partners in crime—if she’ll still have me. If her rage burns anywhere close to mine, she will.”

“I close my eyes once more, seeing nothing but her. The wide angles of her face, the thirty-three freckles that dot her nose and cheeks—her true self, concealed beneath the glamour she wears. It frightens me how easily I can conjure a mental image of the girl. Even in my mind, she is beautiful in a way that is perplexing. Beautiful in a way that is haunting.”

so down bad for her😩😩😩😩

“You’re haunting, it’s been mere weeks that I’ve known you. And it’s been weeks that you’ve been on my mind. Like a spell.”

“How was Kai?”

“How was Fleur?”

“I wouldn’t know,” I say. “I was too busy imagining she was you.”

the banter omgggg >😩😩

“The gold of her dress accentuates the bits of orange in her brown eyes, and up close, she is more than an ember. She’s a raging fire.”

“Your laugh,” he says, his gaze never leaving my face, his eyes darkening as though holding back something he can no longer hide. “It’s bewitching. I don’t think I could ever get enough of it. I think I could get drunk off it.”

“I can’t tie the corset,”.

“I’ve only ever untied them.But for you, I’ll try.”

GURRRRRRL

“Desdemona looks up, locking her gaze with mine, her eyes wider than I’ve ever seen them. Her eyes. How have I never noticed her eyes? They’re the color of the warm rays of the sun, of leaves right before they fall from their trees, of the gold that we’ve deemed too precious to mine.”

UGH HES FALLING FOR HER YAS

“This is only our second time working together, and since the last, I’ve spent far too many hours turning over the question of why her magic feels so potent. Specifically why it felt so different—so jolting—when I touched her. It was electrifying. Like I was the winter and she was the warmth. Like I was a question and she was the answer. Like I was a dying man and she was the air.”

“I need your help with something.”

“You need my help?” I ask slowly.

“Yes,” he says with a smirk. “I could use a powerful partner.”

“In your dreams,” I scoff. His tone is too sarcastic to be considered kind when he says,

“You already are.”

yesss let the flirtation begin😩🙂‍↔️
