“I will not be nothing to you, Ilmari Price. And I am no longer content to stand on some distant shore, helping you hold this family together, wanting you with an ache that tears me apart.” I suck in a breath, squeezing his hips as I step in. “I can’t breathe for wanting you. I have no pride left. No clever words. Nothing. Please…just end my fucking agony and tell me there’s something left. Tell me there’s a part of you I can have that they don’t already claim, something that can be only mine.”
I can’t fucking breathe
