A Cruel Arrangement (Kings of New York, #2)

by Tijan

“You have an issue, you wait and discuss it with me. You don’t bolt. Ever. They could’ve taken you.” His whole body was vibrating on those words. “You think I’m still the guy who wants to use you as bait? We’re past that. Long past. They shot at you. Another man had a gun to your head. How many fucking times do you need to get that you don’t leave my side? Everything changed the second a gun was put to your head. Everything did. You. Me. Us. This.”

“I can’t do it. I can’t let you go. You’ve become the reason. You’re no longer the woman I’m going to use to end this war. You’re the reason for this war because if anyone hurts you, touches you, I’ll kill them. Are you hearing me? All of them.

“You run and I’ll burn the world down for you.”

He shrugged. “I got excited.”

I love this guy! 🤣
