It Kills Me (Betrayal, #1)

by Penelope Sky

You deserve a man who takes care of you and everything else, even though he knows you can do it yourself.

“But I want you to have a man who treats you the way I treat you. Loves you the way I love you. I’ve done everything I can to prove my love for you is unconditional. I’ve sacrificed so much for you, but I’ve done that happily because you’re the single most important thing to me…and I’m pretty sure you’ve never had to question that.”

“You should never have to question him, sweetheart. When you aren’t in the room, you know his eyes aren’t where they shouldn’t be.

Even if he never tells you he loves you, you would know that he does. That’s what I want for you. And Ryan isn’t it.”

“I have obligations tonight. But tomorrow night, I’m coming to your place. You’re going to cook me dinner then come on my face. Any questions?”
