Consumed by Deception (Deception Trilogy, #3)

No one touches Lia and lives. No fucking one.

I miss her. I miss my Lia, and the fact that she doesn’t remember me has been eating at my soul like the crashing waves that swallowed her that night.

Don’t do this to us.” “Do what?” “Kill us again.”

“And because my love is selfish, I will put you ahead of everything else.”

“I wish it could’ve been different between the two of us. I wish I were the man you deserve instead of the villain you’ve got.”

“Is it worth it?” “Is what worth it?” “Losing everything for her?” A small smile grazes my lips. “Absolutely.”

You think I can live away from you when you’re the one who gave meaning to my life?”

“Because you’re my wife and I’d rather die a thousand times over than put you in danger.”

“I’m done settling for scraps. I need more of you.” “You have me, Lenochka. All of me.” “Not where it matters.”

I told you how different my love is, how dark it can get, but I do love you, more than I’ve ever loved anyone in my life. I don’t only need you; I also genuinely cannot live without you and the light you bring to my darkness. I know you deserve better, but I’m unable to let you go, so I’ll try my best to be worthy of you, Lenochka.”
