“And when I looked up and met Sloth's eyes, the world quieted. He was still watching me. Hadn't looked away once. My heart did that soft, fluttering thing it did only for him. And I knew then, without question, that this wasn't the end of our story. Not even close. This was only the beginning. And, gods, I couldn't wait to turn the page.” KissSlothKerri ManiscalcoLoreThrone Of Nightmares Book:Throne of Nightmares Source: Throne of Nightmares
“His mouth crashed into mine, not a kiss, a claim. His tongue surged past my lips, demanding, devouring, like he meant to brand me from the inside out.” KissSlothKerri ManiscalcoLoreThrone Of Nightmares Book:Throne of Nightmares Source: Throne of Nightmares

“You did this to him." Her anger was a blazing inferno, but her voice was cold, unfeeling. I'd never heard that tone from her. "If it makes you feel better, I was aiming for you." His low drawl didn't hide the fear I sensed coming from him. He'd realized the same thing I had-the true threat wasn't him and it certainly wasn't me. There was something far worse in these woods tonight. And I was wholly captivated. I kept my attention on Lore, sensing a chasm splitting inside her, growing wider the longer her anger simmered without an outlet. She was a geyser ready to blow. I released a small hiss as the next wave of ice moved through my veins. Lore didn't miss the barely audible sound, as if she was now attuned to the slightest shift in me. Her gaze darkened, like a shadow passing over the sun. "You shouldn't have missed.” BadassSlothKerri ManiscalcoLoreThrone Of Nightmares Book:Throne of Nightmares Source: Throne of Nightmares
“There was nothing soft or forgiving in her face; there was hardly anything human in it. She wore a mask of vengeance that would make the fiercest archangels tremble if they dared to gaze upon it. She was a perfect nightmare. An inkling of recognition flickered in, but I couldn't sort out what was familiar. My sweet ray of sunshine who burned hotter than the surface of the sun when provoked. It seemed like I was the only one who admired her ferocity. I heard the Fae's boots catch on a rock as he stumbled back. It was the wrong move. Showing a predator any fear was the quickest way to ensure they attacked. Right now Lore was no different. I sensed the rising tide of power a moment before she detonated. "You hurt what's mine.” BadassSlothKerri ManiscalcoLoreThrone Of Nightmares Book:Throne of Nightmares Source: Throne of Nightmares
