Sovereign (The Sovereign Mountain, #1)

by Raya Morris Edwards

“Mrs. Garrison, I could bend you over this desk and fuck you with your husband watching and he wouldn’t say a goddamn word.”

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

“Oh, God,” she whispers. “Sovereign,” I correct gently. “Say my name while you come on my cock.”

“Sign it, redbird,” he says quietly. “Sign it and let me give you everything.”

“I will fuck your dead husband’s name out of your mouth,” he says. “Then I’ll decide what I want in its place.”

“Put my hat between your teeth, girl,” I order. “And crawl to me on your hands and knees.”

“It should have been me,” he says, jaw tight. “I should have been the one to fuck you first.”

I don’t say the rest—let me love you, let me be your man, let me make you the mother of my children. Take my name and the land that I love.

If I love him, I have to love every part of him. And that includes his darkness and desire for justice no matter how bloody the consequences.
