Sovereign (The Sovereign Mountain, #1)

She looks like a bird in a cage. A redbird with clipped wings.

Tonight is the first night of the rest of my life with her. She doesn’t know it, but this is a consummation.

I’m going to have to watch this man. Without me realizing, he’s going to have my walls down faster than he got my panties around my ankles.

“It’s not the pain,” he murmurs. “It’s the way it breaks down your walls and lets me in.”
