Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I wish I had the ability to protect you from the pain,” I whisper as I start to caress her caramel-colored hair. “But I can make sure no one else sees you like this.”
He’s broken beyond repair, and it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. This man loved his sister so much that losing her turned him into the angel of death, reaping the souls of those he deems evil.
“You’re goddamn near perfect, Cassia. The only thing wrong with you is that you don’t believe in yourself enough. You need to stop that.”
I swear my heart swells to twice its normal size, and it fills with an insane need to protect her and the urge to possess her. It becomes pure fucking obsession. I suck in a sharp breath as the mustard seed of affection breaks through the crack in my soul, the first living thing since everything in me died with Ronnie. My arms tighten even more around Cassia, and I practically squash her to me as I growl, “You’ll never have to find out. I’m with you until the end.”
“I’m with you until I die,” I spell it out to her. Her head snaps back, and she looks up at me with parted lips. “Until you die?” “Yes, because there’s no way you’ll die as long as I’m alive.”
“If you lift your dress like that in public to get to your gun, it will be an effective weapon in disarming any warm-blooded man,” Knight mutters. “Yeah?” I chuckle. “Should I just go around flashing my enemies?” “At least they’ll die happy when I shoot them,” he grumbles as the yacht comes to a stop.
There’s only one man I listen to. The one who keeps me alive.
Pull the fucking trigger,” I say, my tone low and deep with anger. “Because if you don’t, you agree to let me do everything in my power to keep you alive. Even if it means going against you.”
If you plan to leave me, you better shoot me now, Cassia. It’s the only way you’ll get away from me.”
“You are mine,” I whisper. “It’s not up for discussion.” She lets out a soft chuckle. “I was worried the attraction was only from my side.” “Safe to say it isn’t, and I wouldn’t call what I feel for you attraction.” She hesitates for a few seconds before asking, “What would you call it?” “Obsession.”
“You’re like a life vest that’s been thrown into my life while I was drowning.” My gaze softens on her. “My emotions run much deeper than just my need to fuck you.”
We’ve come a long way in a short amount of time. She’s mine, and once we have my high priestess sitting on her throne, I won’t allow anyone to knock her off it.
Thank you for being the hero I dreamed about as a little girl. Thank you for being the protector I need. But mostly, thank you for choosing to love me.”
