Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Be careful about one thing, Tess.” I pause and look back at her. “The way he was looking at you tonight…if you do find him, know that he might never let you go.” In retrospect, I should really have listened to her.
“He thinks he’s going to marry me.” The thought of that man or any other getting their hands on her makes my eye twitch dangerously. I don’t fucking think so. “He’s wrong.”
“I’ll kill anyone that gets between you and me, amor. Take that as my first wedding vow,” Thiago says with a grim, evil smile. “Now where were we?”
“I’m getting myself off to the sound of your voice,” I purr, my own voice thick with arousal. My head falls against the back of my chair, my throat bobbing as I pleasure myself to thoughts of her. “Thiago,” she gasps, shocked. “Yes,” I moan. “Fuck yes, say my name like that.”
Do you want to know what the punishment is for disrespecting my wife?” “No, it’s–” “Death.”
“When will you smile for me?” I question territorially, nipping at the soft skin there. She whimpers. “It wasn’t for him,” she denies. “I smiled because he mentioned my brother.” “I can do that too,” I reply, desperate to please. “I can talk about your brother, I can get to know him. I’ll become the best fucking friend he’s ever had if that’s what you want.”
“Do you understand what you do to me now? Why I had to chase you halfway around the world to have you?” Softer, he mumbles, “I knew I was supposed to wait for you, amor.”
“Baby,” I hum heavily, unable to say anything else. “‘Baby’?” he groans huskily. “Don’t look any further for pet names. That’s the one I want. That’s what I want you to call me.”
“If someone held a gun to my head and had me choose between death or divorcing you, I’d reach up and pull the trigger myself,” he replies gutturally.
