The Tie That Binds (Serendipity, #1)

by Catharina Maura

“So just date me, wife.”

Though you’ll have to promise you’ll make it home for dinner every day like you did with your dad. I’ll do the same.

You’re my wife, Lyss. You’re the only woman in my life.

“Go ahead. Call HR. I’d love to see how that goes. Go ahead and tell them Mrs. Devereaux, your wife, is harassing you.”

“I take it back. I take it all back, Alyssa.

I wanted us to be able to do whatever we want, yet hopefully still choose to spend time together.”

To think Daniel and you finally ended up together. I’m so happy for you,”

“Who says I’m planning on going without sex for three years?” he whispers.

“Tell me you’ll be mine for as long as we’re married, Alyssa. Promise me you’ll be mine like I am yours.”

“You’re mine, Alyssa, and I’m done playing games. I’m done stepping aside and trying to do the right thing. You’re mine.”

“Tell me you’re mine, Alyssa. Officially from now on. No more games. No more blurred lines. No more flirting with other people and making each other jealous. No more guessing and no more miscommunication. I want you, heart and soul. Tell me you want that too.”

You might not have had my every first, but you’ll have all my lasts. You’ll be the last girl I’ll ever sleep with. The last one I’ll ever take on dates and the last one I’ll ever kiss.”
