Make me look like a fool and see what happens, Aster. I’m warning you now.”
And if you don’t remove your hands from my prize, tomorrow, you no longer exist.” The ice in Logan’s words froze the air.
“I think you’ve forgotten who I am.”
Nah. I haven’t forgotten. I just don’t care. Now if you’d let her go.” Logan straightened his suit jacket.
“Why would you make that bet?”
“He took what was mine, so I took it back.”
And if you were mine, I would never share you.”
That’s what living without her had been. Cruel.
when I was with Logan, I felt consumed.
she still held the power to fuck me up.
“I take care of what’s mine.”
Who is it you belong to, Aster?”
“You.”
“He took what was mine. It seems only fair I take it back.”
I had to be careful, or he was going to ruin me all over again.
loving him was a sin but the only thing I’d ever done right.
“Your family is amazing.”
Logan held me tighter. “They should have been yours.”
“Why did you come back to me?” “I don’t know if I could have ended up anywhere else.”
“I’m going to fight for her. The way I should have then.”
“Is she worth it?”
“I might regret it, but yeah, I think she is.”
“You were the best idea I’ve ever had.”

Logan stood there. The master of my universe.
The one who made me question it all.
He was the most striking man I’d ever seen.
Then. Now. Forever.
“I imagined you in that dress, and my imagination didn’t come close to doing you justice.”
“I’d forgotten what beauty really was until I found you standing in that basement.”
You are the cup and the crown and every jewel that has ever existed.”
Logan looked at me like I was the treasure. The reason. The destination.
“They’re all looking at you,” Logan murmured
“The most gorgeous woman in the room. In the city. In my universe.”
I would have given up everything. I would have burned the world down to get to you.”
“Little Star. One tiny star hidden in a vast cosmos. The only one I can see.”
“Even if I can’t see you, I’ll know you’re there, and I’ll find my way to you.”
She repeated the promise I’d made he...

“Did you feel it? Did you feel me?”
“You are the only thing, the only one, I’ve ever felt.”
“Our worlds have always been against us.”
“Then let’s burn it down.”
“No, Aster, I don’t want to punish you. I want to give you the world. I want to
chase down every dream you’ve ever had and give it to you. Kill everything that threatens it. I want to fuck you. I want to keep you. I want to feed you and love you and protect you. I want to live for you, Little Star.”
I was never going to mend or reclaim because every touch he stole belonged to him.
