Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Sweetheart, you don’t have to convince me. I’m not exactly a catch.” If anything, his attention only got more intense. “But I’d be lying if I said last night didn’t make me stop short and take notice. I know you felt it.”
“And even if it wasn’t…A few hours ago you were telling me that this wasn’t what you want. When you change your mind for good—and you will—I want you to know you’re not just coming down from an adrenaline high. You want me as much as I want you. It’s not circumstantial.”
“This is blackmail.” “No, sweetheart. This is respect. I want more than sex, and I don’t know how to prove that to you other than saying no.”
“Life is full of painful subjects.”
“The world should change if someone like my brother dies. It should mourn and cry, and the face of it should be altered. Except none of that happened. It kept on spinning and we were expected to do the same. So we’re all in our private little hells and no one talks to anyone else and it’s just this giant clusterfuck that I’m sure a shrink would have a heyday with.”
It was official. He’d gone and fallen for Olivia Rashidi, half sister to a man who was emerging as an enemy to the family.
“You don’t want to leave. You want to be kept as much as I want to keep you.” He thrust into her, using his free hand to stroke her clit. “Which is a good goddamn thing, Olivia, because I’m never letting you go.”
“I love you.” She wanted to hug him, but she needed him to see the truth on her face. “I never planned on it, and I still can’t quite wrap my mind around it, but I love you so much it hurts.” “That would be the injuries Sergei gave you.”
