"Break my trust, even once, and I’ll throw you down here and forget where I put the key or that you even exist."
"Just so long. as you realize that there are things I can't tell you and questions I can't answer, and it's not because I'm breaking trust."
"I have the strangest sense, my star, that you are going to be trouble."
"I promise I'm more trouble than even you imagine."

😍😍

So like … Kronos really didn’t eat his kids in this lore?

She must catch my closer look, because she tries a wheedling smile. "I react much better to coaxing than orders."
And just like that, I'm back to frustrated. "I don't coax."
"Just a tip."
Is she laughing at me? "Gods, you're impossible."
"You secretly love that about me."
My heart gives a single painful thump that I immediately resent. "Do I?"

🤭🤭

"I'm not playing a game with you, Lyra." And who exactly does she think is going to happen across us here? It's private enough.
"Me neither. But I'm not answering any more until you hide me."
"Watch it," I warn. "I could rend your soul from your corpse and cast it down into the Underworld with merely a thought."
Or kiss her until she turns hazy and warm in my arms. Both have their appeal.

😍😍

I don't want her fear.
Then she cocks a hip and throws me a smirk. "Who says you get to have answers?"
Is she trying to piss me off? I take it back. Lyra mieht benefit from a healthy dose of fear.
She was the same way before Irreverent. I'm the god of death and King of the Underworld. Doesn't she know better?
Fuck me, and now I'm stating my credentials in my head. Maybe I am that asshole

😂😂

"You look...disappointed."
"Not exactly."
"Then what?"
"It's just become so clear to me that you aren't him. You're like a carbon copy from the nineteen hundreds-smudged and blurred at the lines."
For the briefest second, I think I hurt his feelings, the way he stiffens. But then he cants his head in the direction of the waiting group outside the Lock. "You'd better go."
"Yeah."

True but still 😃

Then, without warning, he lowers his head and kisses me.
…
"What was that for?" I ask.
The smile he offers this time is a shark's smile. Predatory. "I don't like competition.”

I know that’s not really him, but WHAT A LINE 😍😍😍😍😍

"My star," he whispers to himself more than me, and his nickname for me makes my heart squeeze. "Do you know why you're here?"
"If I've been here so often, I have a feeling you know better than I do."
His lips quirk. "I can see why I like you in my future." Why does that wording sound off, like he's more than just a copy?

Wait- 😱

"Look at me, little goddess" He says the words softly. Temptingly, even. "Come on."

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

I’m a hundred pages in, and ITS PISSING ME TF OFF. LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE TRAPED IN TARTARUS AND THE TITANS AND PERSEPHONE ARE THROWING ALL THIS INFORMATION AT HER, AND SHE ASKS QUESTIONS THEY CANT TELL HER!!!!!!
