Kindle Notes & Highlights
It had been about four days since Jade was abducted. All in all, she had to say, abduction was boring.
It’s a Clecanian husband’s job to satisfy his wife in every way.
Our ways may seem strange to you, but it doesn’t mean they’re wrong. Try to remember that.”
I have the skin of a baby and the boobs of a college freshman. I may have to figure out how to steal that magic tube before I leave.
Theo had never seen a more beautiful creature in his whole life.
He might look like a hulking angry tattoo enthusiast most of the time, but he was showing a caring side she hadn’t expected.
“I mean, sure, you glare at everyone like you’d like to rip their heads off, but you’ve been looking at me like that for hours now and you haven’t done anything cruel.”
I’ve only felt the soft curves of your body twice, but it’s been the highlight of my year,
Jade reasoned that asking him about himself would help to distract from the fact that they were in a tub together naked. And that was the only reason. It definitely wasn’t because she was curious about the hot, mysterious, brooding man sitting across from her.
“The problem with that expression is that no woman should wish for a knight in shining armor. A knight with shining armor has probably never been to war. They’ve never fought or been hurt. If you want a strong man who can protect you, then you should hope for a knight in dented, scratched, rusted armor. That knight has fought and survived.”
Before meeting her, he hadn’t recognized how lonely he was. If she was indeed the one female in the entire universe who wanted him, then she was a blessing. If he accepted her, he might know peace for a while.
stop it I'm gonna cry, I love him
Something in him warned that if they had sex now, he’d never be the same. She’d leave him and he’d stay behind with a hole no other female would ever be able to fill.
For the first time in a long time, Jade felt like she was living in color.
He liked his home to be full of soft, comfortable, beautiful things. She fit here.
Before leaving, he brushed the back of his knuckles down her cheek and whispered, “My life before, as I knew it, ended when I met you. Have a care for my life now.”
“I received the highest grade possible in the culinary arts and yet I burned our food three times while cooking this evening. Is that enough confirmation for you?”
“You asked about what food I like?” He barked a laugh. “No food has any taste. The only thing that makes my mouth water is the thought of devouring your sweet juices while you writhe and claw at me. I can still smell your arousal in my bed and I have to relieve myself ten times a night just to keep from storming into your room to taste you!”
He looked at her, defeated and pained. “Everything I want to do with you is rough and brutal and mindless and happens whether you want it or not. I would hurt you. I wouldn’t be able to stop myself, and I wouldn’t be able to live with my guilt if I hurt you.”
“We purr when we feel…happiness without effort. When we are content.” When we feel whole, he said to himself.
Was this how she’d be with him? Trusting and sweet? Would she choose to be close to him throughout the day and then give herself to him at night? If he believed he’d be able to hold his sated female like this every night, then all the pain he’d been through in his life would’ve been worth it.
There was no happy existence if she weren’t with him.
Nothing is sexier than a well-loved Theo,
“You could betray me a hundred times over, and I fear I’d still fall at your feet.”
Jade no longer wanted an easy good-looking man to shower her with compliments. She wanted her rough, poor-tempered, alien sexpot who rarely knew the right thing to say.
From the first day they’d met, he’d thought of her as his.
His mate had been stolen from him, and there was no male in the universe more equipped to retrieve her.
Crazy horny dudes in the woods was bad. Crazy horny dudes with a secret underground lair was worse.
Jade’s moods had been swinging out of control for the last few months, and yet he always looked overjoyed to be in her bitchy presence.
I’m whole again because of you, Jade.”
All the pain and loneliness she’d experienced in her life seemed to fade to a distant memory. She now had a true family and a gorgeous alien husband who doted on her endlessly. All she’d had to do to earn her new life was get kidnapped, be forced into marriage, be repeatedly manhandled, get kidnapped again, and finally be beaten.
