Kindle Notes & Highlights
This was never the life he wanted, but the one we were forced into. I gave him his freedom; it’s not something I will ever have. I had to let him go, to finally have the family he deserved with Sienna.
“You can trust me, Rosa. I won’t hurt you. I swear on my life.”
“But I did just kill one of my men for you.” I
little one.”
“Because I like you. Because I can feel your pain every time we’re in the same room. Although you may not, I see your potential. I want to help you stop hurting. I want you to be able to walk out of here when this is over and live your life. I had my life taken away from me, and I know how it feels to not be certain of who you truly are and where you belong.”
“This is your safe space. Your sanctuary. And I want to listen. Give me your demons, Rosa. Let them out of your brain and into mine. Let me take some of this pain from you.”
I rest my forehead against hers. And, for some reason, it feels like home. Something I’ve never truly had.
“And why am I your treasure, Luca?”
His full lips twitch into a smile. “It’s because you are. You are my stolen treasure.”
“Luca?”
“Please tell me I can kiss you.”
The easiest answer I will ever have to give l...

“You. Are. Perfect,”
“I couldn’t leave without saying goodbye properly.” A
I want–no, crave–more from this man.
“I promise, I won’t be long. When I’m home, we have some things to discuss.”
If we do this, we do this properly. I want to worship every inch of you. But it has to be completely on your terms. You are always in control.”
“It’s you, Rosa. Just simply by existing, you are perfect. Even if you want to just lay here and let me worship your body for the night, we can do that. This is new for me too. What I do know is, anything with you will be everything.”
Putting my hands back behind my head, she leans forward, her hand grabs my throat to hold herself upright.
“Well, fuck, that’s new,” I choke out.
“Oops, sorry.” She lifts herself back up, her ...

“Good girl. You’re safe here. I will always protect what's mine, tesoro.” A
“No matter what happens next, my treasure, you will always be my home,”
“I have to let you go, tesoro. I don’t fucking want to; it’s the last thing I wanted to happen. When I said things got messy, I underestimated just how bad. I have to protect my family and you. To do that, I can’t keep you.”
“Do you seriously believe this was all a lie? That I don’t truly love you?”
“Because I do, Rosa. I love you so much it hurts. This is the last thing I ever wanted to happen. I even bought a goddamn house in Greece for us to go to. I wanted it all with you.”
“We will have as many last kisses as it takes to finally be back where we belong, tesoro.”
“Rosa, I want to show you love. True, unconditional love. All the dates, the extravagant gifts.”
“A real diamond, the wedding of our dreams, the family. Every. Single. Damn. Thing. That will bring a smile to those beautiful lips. I want to give you that. No, I will give you that. It’s the only thing keeping me going, tesoro.”
“I want you almost suffocating on my cock, letting me fuck your mouth until my come slips down your throat, and you’ll swallow every last drop.”
“And extra points if you slide your hands between your legs and play with yourself at the same time. The only way I can enjoy myself is if you are, too.”
am completely and utterly, head over heels, in love with this woman. I have been since the moment I held her in my arms, watching her battle her addiction. The strength she showed only made me fall deeper for her.
I’m Luca Motherfucking Russo, and I’ll take what I want.
“I love you. You are the only man who will ever own my heart, my soul, my entire being. Now I need you to remember that in the future. No matter what.”
“Yours. Only yours.”
“I can wish in one hand, shit in the other, and see which one fills up first.
“And then I will deliver you to our new world, tesoro. I just have to burn it down first.”
Fuck the consequences. I’ll fight a war to keep her safe. I’ll give up my own life if I have to.
“I suggest you back up. This isn’t a time for God and forgiveness. I am the devil, and I’m here for revenge.”
“You should have told me a long time ago. I will do anything for you, Rosa. You are my whole fucking world. My entire soul is yours. If that means I tear down a whole city to keep you safe, then that is what I will do. I swear to you, from this moment on, no more pain.”
To me, you are everything. Without you, I am nothing. Never say that again.”
The four of us, we are sadistic fucks. Each of us has lived a life of pain. We aren’t good men. We never will be. But we will always be the best for our women and our children. Everything we do is for them.
