God of Wrath (Legacy of Gods, #3)

by Rina Kent

Cecily Knight is officially mine. Now. In the future. Forever.

I think Creigh is jealous of me because Adrian likes me while he’s still struggling for his approval. “You took his precious little daughter,” Jeremy told him when he complained as he hugged me to his side. “Cecily is joining his family. It’s different.” “I can join his family.” “Wouldn’t work. Still different.”

I fell in love with a mafia prince.

“Tell me you love me.” “I love you, Jeremy,” I murmur. “Am I the only one you love?” “Only you.” I touch his cheek, melting when he leans into my touch. “Do you love me?” “I’m fucking crazy about you, Lisichka. I love you more than words can express.” “What do you love about me?” “Your melodic voice and the elegant way you speak.” He kisses my throat where my vocal cords are. “Your addictive taste.” He nibbles on my pulse point. “Your fucking water lilies scent that if I don’t smell, I get a headache.” He sniffs my neck and then behind my ears before he kisses my nose, my cheek, and my eyes. “Your face, the way you look at me, the way you look when you see me, the way you look when I’m touching you.”

“We haven’t talked much since you got here, for obvious reasons, but I wanted to thank you, Cecily.” “For…what?” “For seeing the man inside Jeremy, not the cold exterior he showcases to the world. It takes a brave soul to dig deeper and see him for what he truly is and not be repulsed by it.”
