Merged With Him (Merge, #1)

by Kylie Kent

I hate meeting new people. I’m not a people person.

the vision of The Merge: bodies entwined in a sexual embrace, when two or more souls become merged to unite as one.

“Trust me, sunshine, if

we did,”

“you would most c...

remember, and not to mention, feel it for the...

Men like Zac did not exist in the real world.

“For future reference, sunshine, if you ever turn your phone off when I’m calling, I will show up on your doorstep, no matter what time it is.”

“I think we need to get something straight, sunshine. You haven’t known me for long so I’ll give you that concession. But one thing you need to know is I don’t share.”

will share anything with you; what I will not share,

under any circumstances, is you.”

“Where the hell have you been all my life, sunshine? You might not know what this is, me and you, and that’s okay, because I know. This is us always having a tomorrow, together.”

“What I’m scared of is what will happen if I don’t have a tomorrow with you. If something happens or if I fuck this up and make you realise you could do one hundred times better. Not having you, that’s what I’m scared of.”

I dress for me, not for the approval of any man.

we have kids, that’s up to us to decide, not anyone else. I don’t want kids if it means not having you. There is nothing you can say that is going to make me want to look for anyone else, okay?”

“What can I say? I like hearing you beg.”

I love you too damn much to let anyone take you from me. So, if some psycho-bitch thinks she will get you, well, she will have one hell of a fight on her hands.”

“This is a once in a lifetime kind of love. I’m not about to let that go.”

“Our family and our friends. There’s no mine or yours anymore, sunshine. There is only ours.”

“There’ll always be a tomorrow together for us.”

One thing I know for sure is that she is it. She is the girl I see my future with, the one I want to wake up next to every morning. And I will take her any way I can have her. If that means I spend the rest of my life fighting to bring life back, to restore the sunshine and happiness to her eyes, I will. If I have to spend every day proving to her that she is safe with me, that I’m not about to let any motherfucker get their hands on her, then that’s what I’m going to do.

“Umm, Zac, honey, do you see anything on my hand? Anything at all?”

“Well, I can see you’ve still got five fingers, clear skin, no signs of a rash.” Turning my hand back over so the diamond is facing him, he adds, “Other than that three-carat diamond on your finger, I don’t see anything else. What am I supposed to be looking for?”

“Umm, Zac, how exactly did that diamond come to be on my finger?”

“I put it there of...

“Okay, but I think you forgot the part where you ask me a very big question before you...

“I didn’t forget. I was waiting for you to wake up. I thought I’d get a better answer when...

“Mm...

“Sunshine. Alyssa. I was going to do this differently, more romantically, but I couldn’t wait. I love that the first thing I see in the morning when I wake up is your beautiful face. I love that that’s also the last thing I see before I close my eyes at night. I love how

you have brought so much light and joy into my otherwise dark and dim world.

“The word love doesn’t even begin to describe what I feel for you. I don’t think there is a word to describe it. It’s like you are a part of me. When I’m not with you, it’s like I’m short of oxygen. I would love nothing more than to wake up with you in my arms every morning for the rest of my life, to spend the rest of my...

know I didn’t need to… I wanted to. I want to give you the world, Alyssa, but I’ll start with a closet.”
