“The tremendous love and loyalty you have for the cadre, your father, and his people is inspiring. The strategy and leadership you displayed on the battlefield, your willingness to fight at the side of your men, and saving me, of course,” I admit with a chuckle. “And the…breathtaking way you fight.” I lick my lips in memory. “I knew I wanted more of you. I wasn’t sure if you wanted me, though.”
