Kindle Notes & Highlights
“It’s nice to meet you, Emerson.” The sound of my name on his lips should be a criminal offense it sounds so damn sinful.
I don’t ever want my woman to be able to hide from me. Not her pain. Not her pleasure. Not even her embarrassment. Like I said, I’m a selfish bastard and I want it all.
There are so many things I would like to hear her call me. Sir. Master. Daddy. But my name will do… for now at least.
before his daughter walked into the room and became the object of my affections,
My intentions are anything but pure. No. I have a feeling I would use any excuse to be as close to Emerson as possible until I can work her out of my system.
My hand itches to reach across the table and pop it out, because somehow, I’m jealous of her own teeth.
It’s small, and still shrouded by what seems like the weight of the world, but it’s the most beautiful fucking thing I’ve seen in my life.
I’m too attached to her already, and I don’t know if she’ll be able to handle being the object of my obsessions. Too bad she doesn’t have a say in the matter.
“I’m the person that will break every bone in your body if you ever touch Emerson again. Get the fuck out of here before I lose my patience.”
To teach him not to mess with what belongs to me.
I’m going to have an all-out fight on my hands when I claim her. She won’t like it. She won’t like it when I squash her independence, or when I demand to know where she is and what she’s doing at every moment of the day. But it’s the way it’s going to be. It’s the way it has to be.
I’m obsessed with Emerson.
Her skin is so fucking soft under my touch I barely believe she’s real, but she is, and she’s all fucking mine.
“Because you’re mine, and I don’t take kindly to people touching what doesn’t belong to them.”
“You are mine. And as part of being mine, I need to know that you’re okay. Your health. Your safety. Any danger that could come to you is my business. If that means taking you to doctors, then that’s what I’ll do. I need you safe and healthy.”
“This is happening. The sooner you make peace with that, the sooner all the fun can begin.”
“This is my number. If that asshole comes near you again, I want you to call me immediately. If you’re sick, I want you to call me. If you’re hurt, I want you to call me. If you’re scared, or feel unsafe, I want you to find somewhere safe and call me, and I will come to you. If I find out you didn’t call me, believe me when I say, you’ll be in a world of trouble. Do we understand each other?”
“Before you answer, I need to let you know that if you lie to me, I will cut your tongue out and then feed it to you.”
“If you ever go near her again, ever so much as look at her from across the street, I will find you, and I will kill you. Not some easy death like the one Russo will give you. No, it will be even more painful than you can possibly imagine. Nod if you understand.”
“That’s where you’re wrong, sweet girl. You may not have known it, but you were mine from that very first day. The moment I locked eyes on you, I knew I was going to claim you.”
He doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air as her, let alone touch her.
“Your health and safety are my number one priority. You can’t go to work because your safety would be in jeopardy and that is not something I am willing to negotiate on, you’re worried about money, I have money, problem solved.”
It’s not charity, it’s not a hit to your pride, it’s selfish because I don’t want to lose you before I’ve even had the chance to have you.”
“Don’t hide from me, Emerson. Don’t ever hide from me. I want all of you, and nothing you do or say is going to change that.”
I want those feelings, I want to tell everyone I meet about my woman, and I want to worship her every day of my goddamn life.
Emerson giggles and fuck me if it’s not the most beautiful fucking sound I’ve ever heard in my life.
“Emerson, any time I spend with you is not a waste.”
It’s oddly freeing to not have to think about what I have to do next, to let someone else take the lead for once. It feels unnatural, but I kind of like it.
“No wearing other men’s shirts,” he growls.
“No. Wearing. Other. Men’s. Shirts. If that’s what you like to sleep in, I will bring you some of mine, or better yet, wear nothing at all.”
“Watching you eat that pasta was a fucking religious experience,”
Watching her eat had me hard as a fucking rock, the sounds she made as she ate were the most erotic sounds I’ve ever heard in my life, and I’m honestly wondering if I can feed her nothing but that pasta for the rest of her life to keep hearing them.
I want to fucking devour her, consume her, ruin her for every other man in the world. The idea of anyone else touching Emerson makes me fucking homicidal.
But I’m a selfish fuck, and I want all of her. I want her to crave me like I crave her.
Emerson is ruining me for every other woman on Earth, and I don’t give a fuck. I want to be ruined. I want her to fucking destroy me.
I’ve never felt anything so right as I do in this moment, holding my girl in my arms, her body trembling with the pleasure I gave her as she relaxes into my touch.
“I told him that we’re together the other morning before I took you home.”
But the further I am from Emerson, the more it feels like I’m coming out of my fucking skin. It just cements the fact I need to move her into my penthouse. I need to know where she is at every moment of every day, and her living with me is a sure-fire way to make that happen.
“Well, here’s the thing. I have a beautiful woman waiting for me. The most stunning creature you’ve ever seen in your miserable fucking life. And she’s about to make a speech that she’ll be really fucking mad if I miss. Now, if anything, or anyone, makes my woman angry, or upset for that matter, I get angry, and believe me when I tell you, you don’t want to see me mad.”
“You mean to tell me that my woman was just on stage with hundreds of people staring at her, and my pussy was bare?”
“Sweet girl, I’m really fucking close to losing my fucking mind. I need you to let me take care of you. Can you do that for me?”
“I will always protect you, Emerson. I will kill anyone that hurts you, and I will burn the whole fucking world to the ground if it means keeping you safe. You are everything to me, sweet girl, and there’s nothing I won’t do to ensure your safety.”
I don’t know what I did to deserve Emerson falling into my lap, but I’m going to hold on tight because I refuse to let her go. She’s mine. She belongs to me, and there isn’t a person alive that can take her from me.
but that’s not true because I’m not a danger to you. In fact, you’ve never been safer than when you’re with me.”
“I thought you were the most beautiful creature I’d ever seen in my life. When I caught sight of you coming out that door with a baseball bat, I swear I almost came right there in front of your dad.
“You were mine from that moment and you didn’t even know it.”
“I’ve watched you when you didn’t know I was there. I’ve had security follow you when I couldn’t be around, and bit by bit, I’ve started to take over your life.”
I want Rayne to possess me. I want him to claim me. I want to give him everything I am because I know he’ll always keep me safe.
“Good girl. You belong to me. Your body. Your tears. Your orgasms. It’s all mine. You will not touch this sweet pussy unless I give you permission, do you understand me?”
“I want you to come for me, Emerson. Scream for me,”
