Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I am beginning to remember—” He stopped, shook his head, then started again. “I am beginning to remember what it means to need things. Laughter. Companionship. Love.” He leaned forward and pressed his forehead to mine. “And I need you, Merit.”
“You undo me, Merit. Wholly and completely. You don’t take me at my word. You challenge me at every opportunity. And that means when I’m with you, I am less than the head of this House . . . and I am more than the head of this House. I am a man.” He stroked my cheeks with his thumbs. “In my very, very long life, I need you more than I have ever needed anything.”
“You’ve changed your mind before. If you end it
now and change your mind again, I won’t come back. I’ll stand Sentinel, but only as your employee. Not as your lover.” It took a moment for him to answer . . . and break my heart. “Then that’s the risk I take.”
