When She Loves (The Fallen, #4)

by Gabrielle Sands

“Don’t worry, we’ve got all the time in the world, tesoro mio.” His treasure.

“How do you know the ideal wife in my head looks any different from you?”

“You always have a choice. You can go home.” “You are my home.”

“Cleo, when I look at you, I see the entire universe. It took losing you for me to understand that you are everything to me. There might have been a ‘before’ you, but there is no ‘after’. I can’t function without you. I can’t sleep, I can’t think, I can barely fucking breathe. Without you, I exist in a horrible dark place that’s devoid of everything that makes life worth living. Please come back to me. I love you.”

I want her so fucking badly. I can’t believe the nonsense I told myself about getting bored with her. That’s never going to happen. I’m obsessed and I’m always going to be fucking obsessed.

“Promise me you’ll always be like this with me. That you’ll never pull away from me again. Or I swear, Rafe, I’ll write up a new plan.” He presses his lips to the spot right below my ear and chuckles. “Tesoro, you’re never getting rid of me. I promise. I am yours, and you are mine. Forever.”
