Kindle Notes & Highlights
God help her, but she loved him. Needed him like she needed air to breathe. Wanted him, despite her body feeling like it was on the brink of death.
“Lara, no matter where you are in the world, if you need me, I’ll come for you. Please know that.”
She was everything. Mind, body, and soul, she was everything he wanted. Everything he needed. The queen Ithicana needed.
She was right, and he knew it. But in his heart, he knew that even if he never saw her again for the rest of his life, it would never be over. She would always be his queen.
“I need you to know that I forgive you, Lara. That I—” He broke off, clearing his throat.
“Awake or asleep, all I see is your face. All I hear is your voice. All I feel is you in my arms. All I want is you.”
“You are my goddamned damnation, but there will never be anyone but you.”
“I can’t be around you, Lara. I can’t risk this happening again.” She knew he was right, but still she said, “I love you.” Aren only walked toward the door. He paused with his hand on the latch, before turning to look at her. “I’m sorry.” Then he disappeared into the night.
“Since the day we met, there has never been anyone but you. And there never will be anyone but you. You are my queen, and I need you.”
