A Simple Truth (The Freckled Fate #2)

by Tetyana Walker

“Oh, fuck me!” I growled in frustration, lowering the now-empty bow. This day was turning progressively worse. “Is that a request, Finnleah?” the General purred with amusement, taking a step back from me.

“When I take you. When I have all of you, I want to know with absolute surety that you’d wake in my bed without a single doubt or regret. And that you want me too. Not just wine-driven sex, but that you want all of me, because I, my goddess, my queen, my little wildfire, I want all of you.”

I was going to burn the world for this. The whole of Esnox would soon be covered in nothing but ash.

“Because I fucking love you, Finnleah! Because my whole soul trembles in your presence, my heart bleeds when you are away, and air burns like acid when you are not close. Because there isn’t a price I wouldn’t pay for you. I’d start a million more wars for you. I’d burn this whole fucking world down if it meant you’d be near.”

“So yes, I started a war for you, and I’d start a million more. I’d kill for you. I’d die for you. I would do anything you wish me to. You are the one I love, Finnleah. You are the one I desire. You are the one that holds the entirety of my body and soul. And if that’s not enough, then please tell me what is.”
