Kindle Notes & Highlights
He’s never grumpy with me. He doesn’t mind touching me. He drinks the coffee I make. He brought me to his home and has gone out of his way to take care of me. Slowly the realization starts to sink in. I think Liam likes me.
Chicago’s all that mattered up until Kiara. This city is mine. Always have been, always will be. So is Kiara Murphy. She just doesn’t know it yet. I’ll give her time to heal, to get used to me, but after that, I’ll make her mine. My eyes drift over her feminine features, memorizing every inch of her. So fucking beautiful. Remembering how she clung to me at the office, warmth and possessiveness burst in my chest. Cling all you want, baby. I don’t want you to let go.
The way her body fits against mine, it’s as if she’s a piece of me that was missing. She’s the emotion I was unable to feel. She’s the touch I missed my entire life.
In the early morning hours, I realize that I’ll raze heaven and hell for this woman. Within a matter of hours, I’ve gone from being attracted to her to being absolutely devoted.
The thought leaves a sour taste in my mouth, the possessive feeling rearing in my chest. Now I understand why some men kidnap a woman.
“I don’t kiss. It’s too personal.”
lmaooo its giving alex volkov
“Because you make me feel.” Christ, do you make me feel. My hands frame her face, my eyes burning intensely into hers. “Because I can touch you.” I tilt my head. “I. Can. Touch. You. Kiara.”
The princess I never knew existed and the only woman I want. She’s mine. Especially now that I have a right to claim her.
“I’ve never felt like this about anyone, Kiara. Jesus, I can touch you. You have no idea what that means, what you do to me.” Determination and possessiveness darken my tone. “I have full right to claim you.”
“You’ll protect me from your world?” It will become your world too. “With my last breath.”
I lay my soul at the altar of her body, and she reshapes me into a man who will burn the world down for her. A man who loves her. Only her. I give Kiara everything I am. My wealth. My heart. My body.
“You really like carrying me around,” I tease and wrap my arms around his neck. “Safest place for you is in my arms,” he murmurs as he climbs the stairs.
UGH STOPPP LIAM IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECTTTT
“That will never happen. Your heart will be the most important thing I own.”
“I loved you long before you came into my life. When you bumped into me, my body recognized yours. When you looked for safety in my arms, my heart knew you were the one.”
“Baby, if you don’t spend at least a hundred thousand dollars a month, you’ll be in trouble.”
“I promise, if I steal, it will be to steal her heart. If I cheat, it’s to cheat death so I can stay with her longer. If I fight, it will be to protect her.” Then I add my own twist, “If she cries, it will be tears of happiness. If she’s in pain, it will be because she’s giving birth to our children.” I clear my throat, and pulling a pocketknife from my jacket, I flip it open and cut my thumb. Pressing the drop of blood to the gravestone, I say, “I make this blood vow to you, Jimmy.”
