Queen and Conqueror (The Queen's Red Guard, #1)

by Isabelle Olmo

“An obedient wife? His majesty must know by now that to achieve that he would have to marry someone else.”

“There’s days I must hold myself in a tight fist to not fall to my knees and beg you to care for me in the manner that I have desperately and uncontrollably grown to care for you. Everything I do is to get a reaction from you, to watch you smile or anger, I want to see the spectrum of your emotions, even the bad ones. I want to bask in them.”

“Then break if you have to. Break here with me, and I’ll carry you if you carry me.”
