Tears of Salvation (The Saints #5; Underworld Kings #3)

The corner of his mouth lifts again. “Family. Never thought I’d consider having kids.” “I’ll teach them how to shoot a gun,” I joke. Demitri’s smile widens. “You better, seeing as you’ll be their godfather.”

Again Alexei laughs. “Do you really want to deprive the world of the ecstasy you felt when I fucked you?” My left eyebrow shoots up. “Vain much?” “No, just confident.”

You’re strong enough to survive at my side, but how the fuck do I capture someone as wild as you?

“Is everything a turn-on for you?” “When it comes to you, yes.”

Okay. Deep breaths. You love Isabella. Christ, so much for thinking I was the one in control. My breathing begins to speed up as I feel panic for the first time in my life.

What if her memory returns and I lose her? What the fuck will I do then?

“Whatever happens in the future, I want you to remember this moment. I mean everything I’m going to say.”

“I fucking love everything about you. I could spend the next hour going into detail, but I won’t. I want you. All of you. I want

you next to my side. I want to wage wars with you. I want to build empires with you. I want you in every new memory I make because there isn’t a woman on the face of this planet I respect more.”

“Mine. A fucking goddess belongs to me.” My lips curve up as I shake my head, and framing his jaw with my palms, I say, “No, a god belongs to me.”

My heartbeat speeds up as the thought that I can actually lose Isabella crosses my mind.

“It’s not home without you.”

She’s back. I didn’t lose the love of my life. Thank fuck.
