Xavier Kingston is the devil in disguise,
“My sweet kitten got her claws into all my other cars, so I had no choice but to buy a car I thought she might leave untouched.”
My sweet Kitten, Surely you didn’t think you’d get away with damaging my precious car collection? You, of all people, know me better than that. In return for the damage you did, I took something of yours. Dance with me tonight, and I’ll consider giving it back. I won’t even mind if you blatantly and purposely step on my feet — after all, I’ve greatly missed the way you keep me on my toes. Yours, XK

“Care to dance with the devil?”
I’m not a short woman, but in his arms I feel tiny.
“I’ve always loved the way you say my name.”
“If things go the way I hope they will, I intend to make Sierra my wife.”
Each time we dance together, he makes me forget why I hate him, and then he opens his damn mouth.
Dear Kitten, please know that I wish it were my hands on your skin each time you wear these necklaces.
“You… you’re completely unhinged!”
“You say that like it’s new information, when you were the one who drove me crazy.”
“You’re the only one I’ll ever buy jewelry for, Sierra. Only you.”
“You’re here to steal my beloved granddaughter from me.”
you made her wait?”
“Kingston men don’t cheat,”
“There won’t be any need for discretion, Sierra. I won’t look at anyone but you, won’t touch anyone but you. For as long as you’re my wife, I’ll be loyal and faithful to you, and I expect the same in return.”
“I’ll never want you,” she snaps. “Not in a million years.”
“Then I’ll wait a million years and a day, Kitten. I’ll wait forever if I need to, so long as you understand that you’re mine as much as I’m yours.”
“Fuck every goddamn misconception you insist on having, and listen to me. I will never, ever, cheat on you. I am yours, and yours only, Sierra, whether you like it or not.”
“You were born to frustrate the fuck out of me, weren’t you?”
He’s ruthless, unyielding, and, dare I say it, unscrupulous.”
“Ah,”
“A match made in ...

I picked the best diamonds I could find, and yet, they don’t shine as brightly as you do.
She looks like my wildest dreams come to life,
“Don’t ever get hurt on my behalf,”
“Then I suggest you handle me with care, Mrs. Kingston.”
“I don’t know what I love more, your cute little fangs, or those claws of yours that you won’t show anyone but me.”
What has she done to me? I think I’ve finally well and truly lost my mind.
“No. My priorities just changed.”
“I don’t need more money,” I tell him. “I just need a chance with my wife.”
“Yet here you are, Sierra Kingston. I don’t know about you, but personally, there’s nowhere I’d rather be.”
Sierra is the only one in this world that can make me forget about my worst nightmares.
“Don’t be so foolish as to forget who I am, Xavier. No one gets away with threatening a Windsor. Not even you.”
“Perhaps so, but you’re no longer a Windsor, Sierra Kingston.”
“I like you just the way you are,”
though words can hurt, the words we leave unspoken can cut just as deep.
“Then eventually, this girl came along that challenged me at every step, and I fell in love even more, harder than ever before. I became obsessed with competing with her, and she inadvertently helped me grow my company into more than what I ever thought possible. She became my lifeline. This incredibly beautiful, batshit crazy girl became the highlight of my entire damn life. She gave me purpose, and she doesn’t even know it.”
We’ve come so far from where we started, all in a matter of months, and I just know… this story we’re writing together, it’s my favorite one of all time.
“I don’t want to keep you hidden, Xavier.”
“You’re mine, Xavier Kingston,”
“And I want the world to know it.”
“You want me?”
“What will you give me in return?”
