Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I hate that they made you feel so worthless, princess, because you are worth ten of them. I dated those women because they were there, Alana. They could have been anyone. They meant nothing to me then and they mean even less to me now. You are the only woman in my life and you are the only woman I want in my life.”
“Hey! You are Alana fucking Montoya. So, put a smile on your face, hold your head high and walk through that damn lobby like the queen that you are.”
I felt worshipped and adored by him. But surely that was all in my head? Because this was Alejandro Montoya. This was the man who had bound me to him through fear and intimidation. This was the man who didn’t do love. But this was the man I was losing myself to and I didn’t know how to stop.
“Because I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with you, Alana. Love is messy and complicated, and I didn’t have time for that. But you are nothing like the woman I thought you were. I may have stolen you, but you have stolen my heart, princess. You are the most precious thing in the world to me.”
“This isn’t the beach house. I wish that it was. I wish that I had nothing to do all day but swim, eat and fuck you. But I have responsibilities here and yes they make me angry and tense. But never with you. You are my beach house, Alana. You’re what makes me happy — here, or the beach, or anywhere else we may be. Wherever you are, is where I am content.”
“I love you, Alex,” I whispered. “I love you too, Alana.”
“You can’t buy my love, but you have earned it. I want to be your wife, Alex. But only for real. Not because it’s good for business, but because you can’t bear to wake up one more day without me by your side. Because the thought of living without me would be like living without air.”
“You’ll always be my princesa, Alana, even when I fuck you like a puta.”
