Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Tell me, darling, do you think of me often?” His voice is a murmur, as if his lips were pressed against my ear. I shiver, knowing exactly what that feels like. If he knows I’m here then why hasn’t he— “Do I haunt your dreams, plague your thoughts, like you do mine?”
“It’s a good thing you’re not here,” he says softly, a tone I never thought I’d hear from him again. “Because I still haven’t found my courage.”
“You promised to be my undoing,” I murmur, lowering my head close enough to hear her sharp intake of breath. “So, prove it.”
“Ruin me.”
Yet, I can’t help but think that in another life, another time, another chance to choose each other—I would be in that bed beside her.
“Your name seems like a good word to die with on my lips.”
“Possessive, are we?” “I chained you to me. What do you think?”
“Pretend, Gray,” he breathes, trapping me against the wall with his body.
“You’re okay. I’ve got you.”
“Shh,” he murmurs. “You’re all right.”
When he’s kissed my thumb for the last time, I’m being pulled into his arms. My back is pressed against his bare chest, and he holds me tight despite his wound.
