Why was it that whenever she looked at Nezha, she wanted to either kill him or kiss him? He made her either furious or deliriously happy. The one thing he did not make her feel was secure. With him there was no neutrality, no in between. She loved him or she hated him, but she didn't know how to do both.

"You're saying I'll stop Rin from going crazy," Kitay said.
"She's already crazy," Chaghan said.
"Fair enough," Kitay said.

😭 Stop roasting her 😂✋

"Is this what you want?" His mouth closed over hers before she could speak. Scorching hands moved on her body and trailed downward. Everything was so terribly hot. She was burning. She'd forgotten how it felt to truly burn she was immune to her own flame, and she'd never been caught in Altan's fire, but this ..this was an old, familiar pain, terrible and delicious all at once.

His hand went into the skimmer's hull, an inch from her head. She didn't flinch. She turned her head slowly, trying to pretend her heart wasn't slamming against her chest. "You missed, she said calmly.
Nezha pulled his hand away from the hull.

"That's what you get when the people decide."
Kitay shook his head. "No, that's what you get when you've killed all the brave men and let the cowards vote." 🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥

He raised a dagger to her chin with his other hand.
She kicked savagely at his shin. He buckled to the ground. 😂♥️😂

"But I was fighting for the Militia until now. We could have been enemies."
"I know." Nezha beamed. "Aren't you so glad we're not?" 🥰♥️🥰♥️

"What if I touched you?" She was struck by the urge to run her thumb over his scars. To caress them. 🥰🥰♥️♥️

"What the fuck?" she screamed. "Hello to you, too, said Nezha. "I thought you'd be happy to see me. She couldn't help but stare at his face while he talked. Up close his scars weren't so unsettling, but rather oddly compelling. "Rin. Don't do this." Nezha stopped rowing to reach out and grasp her hand. "It wasn't your fault. I don't blame you." "You should." "I don't." ♥️♥️🥰🥰

You've got to understand that we're killers. You spend your life doing one thing, it's very hard to stop.
