Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Understand me, Ava: once I fuck you, you are my wife. This is your last chance to change your mind.
“Told you, pet: if I knock you up, I need an heir anyway. You’re my wife now. There will never be anything between us.”
“I did my penance. Now you’re mine, Ava, and I fucking dare anyone to try to take you away from me.”
“She’ll call you Royce,” Link says firmly. “And if you don’t stop coming on to my wife, you’ll refer to her as Mrs. Crewes until you get it through your fucking skull that Ava is mine.”
“It’s our wedding night, pet. The beginning of forever. I wouldn’t miss a minute of it unless I had to. Remember that.”
“You’re my wife. You’re mine. That ring proves it, and you took it off?”
“I want her to have a permanent ring, Cross, not be in pain.”
“This is my Ava. For those who don’t know, she is my wife. We eloped last month, and now that I’ve had her to myself for a while, I thought it was time to introduce her to the syndicate.”
“It’s just me and you, Ava,” I tell her, putting a small amount of pressure on her to spread her legs wide. “Don’t look at them. Keep your eyes on me and open up for your husband.”
“Does anyone else think it’s a good idea to disrespect my wife?”
“I have feelings, Ava,” I repeat. “Lust. Anger. Obsession. God, when I think of you, I want you so bad, I’ll do anything for you. And you got it wrong. Killing Twig… I could give a shit about my rep. I did it so my men know that they’re not untouchable. When it comes to you, my Ava… I’d kill every last one of them for you.”
You tried to take away the most important thing in the world to me. You saw what happened to Twig. You had to know that I wouldn’t let that go.”
To me, my wife is everything.
“Jealous? Of fucking what? I told you, Ava… you’re the only one I’ve ever wanted. Everything I’ve done… everything I do… it’s for you. I’m the one who’s jealous of any man who gets to look at your smile for the first time. Who gets to experience your laugh for the first time. Who gets to see the vision that is your ass from behind before I threaten to gouge out his eyes for looking at you… but what can you possibly be jealous of?”
