“Did you know I can’t stand to hear his name on your lips while you’re leading the way to my room?”
“Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?” His voice lowers. “If not, I’m a fool, because you are magnificently beautiful.”
“I wanted to fucking kill them. And instead, I had to stand there and watch them go at you three-on-one. I was at the edge of my control and ready to step in when Tairn landed.”
“But I’m going to keep you all the same.”
“Good.” I lean in and brush my lips over his. “Because I think I’m in love with you.”
“You think? Or you know?”
“I know. I’m so wildly in love with you that I can’t imagine what my life would even look like without you in it. And I probably shouldn’t have said that, but if we’re doing this, then we’re starting from a place of complete honesty.”
“I fucking need you, Violet. Right now. And I don’t need anyone, so I’m not quite sure how to handle this feeling, but I’m giving it my best. And if you don’t want this tonight, that’s fine, but I’m going to need you to walk out that door right now, because if you don’t, I’m going to have you naked on your back in the next two minutes.”
“I think two minutes might be overestimating your skills with a corset.”
“I’m timing you.”
“Is that—” “One. Two.” I hold up my fingers. “Three.”
“So fucking beautiful.”
“I think that might have been a little longer than two—”
“Still counting?”
“Do you need me to keep score?”
“Oh gods.” “Which one are you calling out for?”
“Because it’s just you and me in this room, Vi, and I don’t share.”
“I’m calling out ...

“Though I do think we’re going to have to work on the fireworks show or people are always going to know what we’re doing.”
“You are absolutely delicious. I never should have waited this long to get my mouth on you.”
“You can play all you want later if I can have you right now.”
Yeah, that’s a plan I can get with. “You already have me.”
“You have everything I have to give.”
“I want this to last. I need this to last.”
I’m not going to survive this. I’m going to die right here in this bed. “Then I’m going to die with you,” he promises, kissing me.
“You’re almost there. Fuck, you feel so damn good around me. I’m never going to get enough of this, enough of you.”
“I love you.”
“I’m great. You’re great. That was…” “Great?” he supplies. “Exactly.” “I was going to use the word ‘explosive,’ but I think ‘great’ covers it.”
“I fucking love your hair. If you ever want to bring me to my knees or win an argument, just let it down. I’ll get the point.”
“That was two, if we’re still counting, and I say we clean up, get the sand out of the bed, and get you to three, maybe four if you’re still awake.”
“Yeah, let’s go for three.”
“Wanting you will be the death of me. Let’s go.”
If he leaves without saying goodbye, I’m going to track him down and kill him myself.
“If you’re saying goodbye, it’s to him,”
“Please, do quit while you’re behind, Aetos,” Xaden seethes. “You want the truth? She’s a fuck of a lot safer with me beyond the wards than she is with you within them. We both know it.”
“Thank you for trusting me,”
“Always.”
I can’t help but note both of the important men are walking away from me right now, in opposite directions, and given the one I’ve chosen to follow, my life is about to change forever.
“Keep looking at me like that and we’ll be stopped longer than a half hour,” he warns without looking at me.
His gaze whips my way, and I swear I see him actually smile before turning back toward Garrick.
“I’m not scared, no one is hauling me, and believe it or not, Violet, sometimes my orders actually don’t revolve solely around you. I do have other skills, you know,” he teases with a grin, flashing a dimple as he hip-checks me.
“I’ve never once forgotten how amazing you are, Liam.”
I’m not ashamed of loving him,
You don’t have to worry about me.” “Worrying about you is ninety-nine percent of what I do.” His thumb strokes the back of my hand.
“Trust me, my motives aren’t altruistic, Violence. I’ll take any excuse I can get to put my hands on you.”
“The feeling is more than mutual.”
“We were in the middle of something, if you don’t remember.”
“Oh, I remember.”
“Is it wrong to wish we’d had time to finish?”
