Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I didn’t kiss you, dolcezza, because I wasn’t certain I’d be able to stop.”
“For the people I love, I’m exactly who you describe.” “For the people you love,” he echoes, tasting the insult on his tongue. “Maybe my hope is that one day you’ll love me.” “Would you love me back?”
“I don’t think the darkness within my heart would ever allow space for love, dolcezza. Monsters are more afraid of the light than angels are of the dark.”
“You’re my undoing,” he whispers, low enough that Lorenzo can’t hear. And you’re my peace.
I watch as he focuses on his thumb, my cum glistening against the tan of his skin. He collects his whiskey glass wordlessly, sliding my release along the rim, watching it coat the crystal. “Your cum and whiskey,” he murmurs, licking the remnants of my orgasm from his thumb. “I’ll spend my life drunk on you.”
“I may own you, Bianca. But I belong to you. I own you because of who I am. I belong to you because you’re my only weakness in this world.”
“I’ll tell you I love you every minute of every day for the rest of my life if that’s what you want.” He’ll give me the words, but it's not enough. “I need it to be true, Vinnie.” “True?” he tests, louder than I expected. “Bianca, I’m the only person in this world that has loved you the way you deserve. I know that to be fucking true.”
“I love you without obligation, without expectation. My love is the truest you’ll ever feel, the deepest you’ll ever know. I thought you knew that.”
“Sei il mio universo,” he declares. You’re my universe. “Sei la miglior cosa che mi sia capitata.” You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.
“I love you, Bianca.” He moves onto the bed completely, cupping my face in his hands. “I love you to the point of obsession.” He kisses my lips. “I saw you, and I knew. I knew that you would be mine, and I would be yours. That this world would be ours.”
“I told you I had no capacity for love, afraid you would never find it in you to love me back. I loved you before you knew I was an option. You knew I existed, but you had no idea of the way my heart longed to beat your name.”
You won’t be finished coming until I’ve convinced that sensitive heart and tenacious brain of yours that I’m so fucking in love with you I don’t know how to breathe without your name on my lips.”
