Kindle Notes & Highlights
Just the idea of cheating on this beautiful woman fills me with disgust.
Books don’t let you down—especially romances. You get that ending you want, even if it’s hard won.
He doesn’t think I’m a prop. Perry Constantine looks at me as if I might be someone special.
“Charlotte.” His voice is extra deep. “Those bruises are fingerprints.” I say nothing. Can only stare at him, my entire being trembling. “Who did this to you?” A shuddery breath leaves me. “I can’t tell you.” “Why the fuck not?” I swallow hard. “It’s none of your business.”
she’ll eventually become mine and I’m a Constantine. We take care of what’s ours. And for some reason, she feels like mine. My responsibility. Seeing the bruises on her arm caused something unfamiliar to rise within me. Something I’ve never really felt before in my life.
She may be a pain in the ass sometimes, but she’s my pain in the ass.
It’s someone else’s turn. I need to take care of me. And my wife.
“What do you mean, you’re not benefiting?” “All that talk of sin doesn’t mean shit, since you won’t let me touch you.”
“He will never speak to you like that again once you become my wife,” I say, my voice firm. She stares at me, her lips parted. “What? I won’t let him, Charlotte. If he so much as lays one finger on you, I’ll break it. I’ll break all of them if I have to.” “But I’m his daughter,” she reminds me. “And you’ll be my wife. You’ll belong to me.” I pull her to me, slipping my other arm around her waist, my mouth at her temple as I whisper, “I don’t care if he’s your father. No one hurts what’s mine. Do you understand?”
“You have a big heart, Perry,” I whisper. “Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.”
“Hmmm.” That rumbling sound settles right between my thighs, making me tingle. “I marked you.” His voice deepens. “You’re mine now.”
I could fall in love with this man. And that’s the last thing I should do.
