Caged (Defiant Kings, #1)

Madison Dixon isn’t the kind of girl you take out for a night, knowing it’s only one night. Everything about her screams she’s more than that. She’s pure. She’s sunshine.

She’s the only woman who’s ever tempted me to want more. To think about what that would look like. To consider whether I’m capable of giving it to anyone. The only woman.

“I think I was waiting for you to fix me.” His heavy arms tighten around me. “You were never broken, Maddie. And I would have waited forever for you.”

Something primal in me snaps. I drink her in, running my fingers through her soft golden locks. Wrapping them around my fist and angling her head for better access. I need more. I want everything. All of her. Her body. Her heart. Her fucking soul.

Then it dawns on me. I don’t love that she’s here for this. I love her. The thought hits me like a sucker punch to the jaw. Holy shit. She really is it for me. It’s like my world tilts on its axis for a moment before righting itself again. She’s it. She’s the center. She’s the sun.
