Kindle Notes & Highlights
These guys don't know the meaning of “friends with benefits,” or “casual sex,” or “one-night stand.” They know “mine” and “mate” and “forever.”
“You are both fools for not keeping an eye on the most precious thing on this beach,” he tells them. “I will take care of her. S’bren will not let her come to harm.”
I know I will never have P'nee for myself. I know I am just big, stupid S'bren…but I will watch over her, with or without resonance. If keeping her safe only nets me a smile or two…it will still be worth it. Because P'nee's smiles are everything.
“It is already too late, P’nee. I lost my heart to you long ago.”
“I would do all of this with you.” There’s such an ache in his voice. “I would hold you and honor you and take you as my mate until resonance separated us. And if we never resonated, I would be glad, because it would mean you were mine forever.” He pulls my hands to his mouth and presses his lips to them. “Let me be your mate.”
Do I dream of resonating to her? It is a foolish question.
M'tok would say I am a fool for not taking her up on her offer…but P'nee asked me to guard her heart. No matter how difficult it becomes, I understand. I do not want to cause her future pain with a moment of need now.
What if I'm the problem in all my relationships?
"If the time comes and you resonate to another, he will have to make room in the furs because I am not leaving you."
all my happiness is going to be ripped out of my hands. "If I give you my heart," I whisper, "Do you promise never to let it get hurt?" He nods, leaning in close. His horns are flushed at the base and his eyes are full of heat, his breath slow. His lips part as he moves ever so slightly closer to me, and then leans in and breathes in my scent. "Never," he tells me. "Never will I let anyone hurt your heart." "Then let's do it," I whisper, my body full of aching need. "Let's get married."
