Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Sweetheart, I’m a man of little leisure, but lots of labor. At some point, the strongest of my kind needs a break, and as impossible as it is, it’s a matter of health for us to find time to retreat for a reprieve, even if it means creating it. This weekend, I cleared at least nine engagements to take some time for me.” Bilan’s head dipped, eyeing me keenly. “I’m in need of a major escape: mentally and physically. A selfish one where it’s more about me than it is you. Not of a sparring partner on my dime. I’m not short of women who could fill the role of companion for a getaway.”
“I did! Down there in front of the people I love the most. And now I’m here, like a fuckin’ clown, telling you. I’m fuckin’ in love with you, Bilan. I want to spend the rest of my life being your friend, lover, leader, and protector. I want all of you. I want your damn hips to birth my babies. I want to fight with you and for you for the rest of my days, but not just as we are now. I need more of you. All of you.” I began to back away my damn self. “But I guess I’ll just have to wait for you catch the fuck up.” I marched the rest of the way out and slammed the door behind me.
