Kindle Notes & Highlights
“There are animals that roam these halls. If you’re not careful, one will catch you.”
You’re stuck behind a device watching others live out their dreams. You post selfies of fake smiles and expensive clothes, hoping that someone will envy you. Reassure you just how good you have it. All the while hating your life.
“I’m going to fuck you right here, right now. That mouth is mine. That ass is mine. That cunt is mine. You’re fucking mine.”
“You live for me now.” He licks up the side of my neck to my ear. “And I for you.” He thrusts in a second finger, and I suck in a deep breath from my nose, closing my watery eyes. “You serve and obey me. I protect and own you.”
If there’s no pain, then how do you know you’re alive?
“Put my ass in the air,” he commands.
Cupping her cheek, I lean in and kiss her forehead while whispering, “Good girl,” making her whimper.
“No one touches them. Got it?”
“Why did you let me choose you?” I ask. She gives me a weak smile. “Because you made me feel wanted.”
“Here’s to being mine forever, Blake,” I say, watching her sleep.
“You were mine yesterday, today, and tomorrow.” He gently kisses my forehead. The tenderness a contradiction to his threatening words. “And you will continue to be mine forever.”
The moment we touched back down in Pennsylvania we went and applied for our marriage license. Three days later we were at city hall getting married.
She only has eyes for me, but everyone is looking at her.
Ryat Alexander Archer has found me.
“Don’t thank me, Blake,” I tell her, my eyes falling to the marks on her neck. I’d go to war for my wife. One man was nothing. “I’ll always show up for you.”
“Earlier in the shower made me realize I’ve gone fucking soft on you, Blake. Know why?” He doesn’t let me answer. “Because you cried. Because another man tried to hurt you. That’s what I’m trying to protect you from. I should be your biggest threat. But instead, I’m falling in love with you.”
Those three years I had to abstain from sex was nothing compared to the three weeks without her. It was fucking torture.
