Kindle Notes & Highlights
The day I met her, I started my descent into hell. Now, I lived there.
“I’ll kiss you like you’re meant to be kissed. I’ll kiss you like I’ve wanted to since the moment we first met.”
“I was born to want you. I will always want you. I will live every day wanting you and I will die that way, too. Wanting you is in my blood. It is my legacy to want you… but I want more than tonight. I want forever.”
“Because, I can’t take having you just for one night. If I have you, I need to know it’s forever. Anything else would break me.”
Something dark and possessive snaked through my blood at that thought. One of those demons I’d carried back from hell, alive and well inside me.
“Why can’t you just die, man?” I shrugged. “Would you believe me if I told you I was working on it?”
Because I still loved her… after all this time… and I’d never stopped. Not even for a second. I had loved her then, and I loved her now, and I’d loved her all the time in between. I’d hated her, and I’d missed her, and I’d envied her, and I’d coveted her… And through it all… I’d loved her. Loving her was my one constant. My love for her was true north on my compass.
“Because loving you isn’t something a man can recover from — or forget. It’s a lifelong condition.”
“No. My honor and privilege... my birthright. Protecting you… loving you, is my legacy, topolina, and I’m the luckiest bastard in the world.”
