The Liar’s Crown

Courtney Passio

“ You have no idea,” he tosses back, focused on the portal now. 

“ Don’t let me fall,” I whisper. A plea that comes from some place down deep and frailer than I like to admit. 

Reven swings around the underside of the ladder and hangs there by his hands, muscles straining, for a breathtaking minute. Then he looks straight up at me, and his expression hits me like a punch to the gut. 

The air 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘴 from my body. That hand of shadow moves again and deposits me well below him on the rings with surprising gentleness. 

Goddd, I’d like to know what. If I was in this scene, I’d melt. 

“ You must think I’m a total bitch to want anyone to die that way.”

His humor dies slowly. “ You have no clue what I think about you.”

Princess, touching you is quickly becoming an addiction. 

He finally faces me then and brings a hand around the back of my neck in an unexpected, possessive move that shoots molten, silken heat straight through me. 

“ That connection you feel is my heart, and every beat is for you.”
