The Sacrifice (L.O.R.D.S., #3)

by Shantel Tessier

“I am the only god you will worship, little darling. Ready to get on your knees for me?”

He may be my husband, but he definitely doesn’t belong to me.

He never has, so I’m not sure why I think he should now. He wants everyone to know that he owns me, not the other way around.

I’d drop to my knees, pucker up my lips and call him Daddy if it meant he’d let me suck on his dick like it was my own personal pacifier.

“Being alone in a world full of billions of people is hell.”

When you’ve been starving for affection all your life, you’ll accept the least amount of effort given and turn it into something it isn’t.

I’ve become addicted to his touch, the sound of his voice, and the way he fucks me…Goddamn, it’s unholy.

I live for my Lord, and I trust him with my life.

Love? It doesn’t sound so foreign anymore. If loving someone means you’d burn the world to protect them, then I love her.

Lots of people mistake lust and love. The difference is love demands a sacrifice.

Someone wanted to kill her to hurt me. That’s what would hurt the most—having to live the rest of my life without her.

Because the villain doesn’t give two shits about the world. All he cares about is the one thing that calms his demons, and that person for me is Lake. If I don’t have her, they take control, and all they know is to destroy.

My wife could tell me that she wanted to burn the world, and I’d be proud to watch her burn it down to nothing but ashes. In my eyes, she could do no wrong.

“It’s the last warning I’m going to give the world that if you fuck with my wife, you’ll burn in hell.”
