Dukes of Ruin (Royals of Forsyth University, #4)

by Angel Lawson

“No one was coming for you. No one cared what happened to you. No one but me. I came in there and claimed you before the Lords could sell you off to the highest bidder. Don’t you understand?” He touches my cheek, coaxing my eyes to his. “I’m all you have. I’m all you need.” Quieter, his eyes flick to my mouth when he roughly whispers, “I’m the only one who loves you.”

Nick quote

I speak my next words on the crest of a gasp, slick against her tongue. “I love you.” That’s how I come, kissing the refusal from her lips. I know she doesn’t want to hear it—doesn’t want to believe it—but I know deep in the pit of my wandering soul, this woman is mine. Even if she never loves me back, I’m never letting her go.
