Kindle Notes & Highlights
Right now, all I wanted was for her to wear my gift. I lifted the coronet of flowers and placed them on her head, then put my hands on her delicate shoulders. I leaned down. “Open.”
“But there’s something you should know that I’m not sure you understand. Or that you ever have.” “What’s that?” she asked, a little breathless. I never dropped her gaze in the glass, voice rumbling deep. “You’ve always been my queen, Juliana. You always will be.”
“There is one thing you cannot ever do again,” I growled, trying to rein in my temper, “and that is question my loyalty. There has been no one since you. And never will be again. No one.” Her expression shifted from shock to horror. “But we’d broken up,” she whispered, panic seeping into her gaze. “That makes no difference to my hardened heart. Or my fucking immortal soul.”
“Did you plan this?” I accused. His smile curled into wicked lines. “Yes. I planned for our rental car to break down and for our only sleeping arrangements to be at this tiny bed and breakfast where their bi-annual Tantric Sex workshop was taking place and would knowingly make you uncomfortable.”
His expression—aching and adoring and severe—belied the calm tenor of his voice when he said, “I’ve been bleeding inwardly for over a decade.”
“I sank myself into the club, into business, hoping I could lose myself in work. But at the same time, I wanted a reminder of you. I renamed it The Green Light so that my longing had a tangible place in my life. So that it could be a constant reminder of what I lost and what I still wanted. And when I realized that you were more than an obsession to me, that you were the only one I was ever meant to be with, I watched and waited and yearned for this day when I could tell you.”
“Since the day I realized you were my whole heart, I’ve never stopped loving you. Not for one painfully paralyzing minute.”
Sal told him, and I quote, ‘If my sire says he fucked his woman to screaming orgasms, then he did, so sod off.’”
