Quintessentially Q (Monsters in the Dark, #2)

by Pepper Winters

I may be a controlling bastard, but the moment Tess stalked into my life I lost my balls to her.

“You’ll never be free of me. I’ll never be free of you. It’s fate who decides, and fate gave us each other.”

Tess kissed me back, whispering into my mouth. “Because you’re my monster in the dark, and I’m yours.”

“I’m stronger than you will ever be. I have a woman who sees the light inside me. And I’ll never stop trying to be the best I can be for her.”

I willingly opened my heart to her and finally fucking admitted that I no longer merely cared for her. I no longer even fell for her. I’d hit rock bottom and loved her with every inch of my fucking soul.

I fucking loved this woman. Not just for now. Not just for tomorrow. But always. Now and forever, I was hers.
