Kindle Notes & Highlights
I close my eyes, and while she breaks down in my arms, I find comfort in being so close to her. Right now, I’m not a capo. I’m not her boss. I’m just an ordinary man who gets to hold the woman he’s fallen in love with.
Christ, I want this woman so bad I’ll do anything to make her mine. Love me back, Samantha.
I feel the connection I have with her in the deepest parts of my soul. I love this woman.
The way my mystery man kisses me makes me feel loved and treasured. He sweeps me away from the memories of Todd and takes me to a world where I’m whole. I’ve been violated and destroyed, but I’m intact, and it’s because of this man. It feels like every choice I made, everything that happened to me, led me to this moment. It led me to him.
“You’re such an amazing woman, Samantha. I’ve fallen in love with you, which is a feat in itself because I’ve never felt this way about anyone.”
“Every part of me is drawn to you. The connection I feel to you is unbelievably strong.”
“Feel that?” “Your heartbeat?” He nods, his eyes staring so deep into mine I’m sure he’s looking at the darkest parts of me. “Every beat is for you.
“No matter what happens, I want you to know I love you.”
“You’re mine, Samantha. I will do everything in my power to keep you from leaving me.”
“I’ll burn New York City to the ground for you. Every ounce of power I possess will belong to you. There’s nowhere safer on this planet than by my side.” Her eyes begin to shine with unshed tears. “You deceived me.” My voice is soft as I promise, “I’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.”
His eyes drift over my face, and seeing the love he has for me makes my heart feel complete. It feels as if I was placed on this planet to be his.
With our bodies pressed tightly together and my tongue tasting hers, she becomes my reason for existing. For her, I’d wage wars. For her, I’d kneel. It feels like my soul becomes one with hers as the kiss becomes more passionate. She’s my twin flame, and together we create an inferno.
“I didn’t know there was a chunk of my soul missing until I met you.” My heart. “You gave me a chance for which I’m eternally grateful. You’ve shown me the true meaning of happiness. You’ve taught me to be patient.” He clears his throat, then continues, “I can’t live without your sass, your bravery, your strength. I want you to be the mother of my children and my wife.” My chin begins to tremble as I stare deep into Franco’s dark eyes. “Will you marry me?”
