Connor's Claim (Body Count, #2)

by Jolie Vines

“I’ve got a fast car and no sense of self-preservation. Say the word and I’ll get ye out of here.”

It’s not as bad as what you two just said, but still, some men shouldn’t be fathers.” Cassie said, “But without their fuck-ups, we wouldn’t be here.”

I own ye now. Just as ye own me. I’ll defend your life with mine and give ye everything ye want. A home, my last name, the blood of anyone who hurts ye.

“Your body is so beautiful. You’re perfect, Everly. I need ye to know that because what I’m going to do next is going to be disrespectful as fuck.”

“Please be careful out there. I want a life with you. I want all the things we said to each other, and for us to live here and be happy. I want to lie in bed with you while you read your thriller novels and for us to work side by side. Come back to me.” “I will, I swear.”
