Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You don’t have to test my patience to get my attention. All you have to do is ask.”
I wish I had my kindle so I could lose myself in my books.
We drive past high-end brand stores and then weave through more streets before Viktor brings the Lamborgini to a stop. My lips part, and I’m hit with a wave of emotion as I stare at the Barnes and Noble building. “You brought me to a bookstore?” I ask. “It’s one of your birthday gifts.”
“Jesus, you should spend every second of every day smiling.”
I push Rosalie’s door open and find her staring at the shelves I had my men install while we were out. “Do you want the books sorted alphabetically or by author?” I ask, happy with the work my men did. The shelves fill the entire left corner of the bedroom, forming a reading nook for Rosalie.
“You have a beautiful smile, Little Rose,” I compliment her.
“Thank you. She’s perfect.” His eyes warm with an emotion I pretend not to notice as he whispers, “Just like her mother.”
I know, without a doubt, Rosalie is attracted to me. I’ll even go as far as to say she’s in love with me. But as long as she’s unable to forgive me, none of that matters.
I’ll never love another woman the way I love you, baby.
“You’re mine,” I say with determination. “I might let you go the day after tomorrow, but you’re mine, Rosalie. I’ll give you all the time you need, and when you’re ready, you’ll come back to me.”
“I’m not going to survive without Rosalie. Christ, Luca, I love her. I can’t face a day without her.”
“And so the last of us fall,” Gabriel mutters. “I still win,” Viktor chuckles. “You all fell long before I did.” I glance up at Viktor. “Fall?” “For a woman,” he explains. “They’re all married already.” Oh. Ohhh. Viktor fell for me.
I gesture at the stars tattooed on my shoulders. “I have them tattooed right above my knees as well. It means, as the head of the bratva, I don’t kneel before anyone.” “Okay,” she murmurs, looking a little confused. Then I drop down to my knees in front of her. It takes a moment for Rosalie to realize what I’m trying to say. “I’ll only kneel before you, moya Malen'kaya Roza.
Viktor is the first man I’ve fallen irrevocably in love with.
“It’s unfair that you look hot first thing in the morning.” “Says the sleeping beauty in my arms.”
I still have the list of destinations she made. It’s been safely tucked in my drawer for the past three and a half years, and I plan to take her to every country she wrote down.
I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure my woman only knows happiness from now on.
“Because I want to spoil you, moya Malen'kaya Roza.
Viktor lets go of my hand and falls back until he’s behind me, stepping in every footprint I leave. Chuckling, I glance over my shoulder. “What are you doing?” His eyes lock on mine as he comes to a standstill. “I’ll always be behind you, moya Malen'kaya Roza. To protect you at all costs.”
