Kindle Notes & Highlights
You didn’t fear Keir. Yeah, but I’m different. Broken. Or … hear me out … maybe your intuition told you he wouldn’t hurt you. Remember that whole survival instincts, hunter and prey monologue? If you could tell he was watching, maybe you could intuit that he wasn’t dangerous. You’re awfully opinionated.
Then his lips were on mine, his hands gripping me tightly to him. I met his kiss with an intensity that rivaled his own. We were two magnets unable to resist one another. The sensual press of his lips, the tug of his fingers in my hair, the delicious taste of his tongue against mine—the simple act erased my identity until I was no longer Rowan. I was whoever he wanted me to be. I was free.
Like the last time, she didn’t taste like strawberry lip gloss or mint gum. That would be too typical for her. Rowan Alexander tasted like summer rain and heartbreak. Mine or hers, I couldn’t be sure.
“I’m going to fuck you against this wall,” I informed her, sounding half savage even to my own ears. “I do something you don’t like, I expect you to fucking tell me.”
It pissed me off even more that I was upset because the words seemed to get lost on their way from my head to my mouth. It had always been that way. I’d learned to manage it by keeping calm, but fuck if Rowan didn’t make me feel like a stuttering kid again.
Rowan was meant for me, and one way or another, I’d find a way to prove it to her.
“My bed is your bed. I wake alone, and I will not be happy. Understood?” Holy hell, why did I feel like saying yes, sir? It was there on the tip of my tongue, but I kept it at bay, nodding instead. He made a masculine rumble deep in his chest, then swatted my ass. “Good, now keep moving.” Suddenly, I wasn’t so tired.
“That’s my girl. My wife. You’re mine, Rowan Byrne. All. Fucking. Mine.”
“Speaking of your family. How do they feel about all this—you and me? I’m not AKC registered Irish stock or anything.” “Are you kidding? You know my father is thrilled, and I think everyone else is just happy to focus on something other than Caitlin’s betrayal.” AKC registered. I swear, the things that come out of my wife’s mouth.
“You’re a wise man, Mr. Governor.” He stood, extending his hand. “And a grateful one. Just don’t make me regret it.” “My wife would skin me alive.”
