“I love everything about you, my hermit. To me, you’re the most perfect man alive.”

“When her morning sickness gets really bad, I always feel nauseous, which I’m now using as a warning sign to get her to the nearest toilet as fast as possible. The doctor said it’s because I have anxiety about Grace being pregnant, which is the biggest load of bullshit I’ve ever heard. I say it’s because I love her so much that she’s ingrained in my soul and we’re in complete sync with each other.”

Knowing it’s a trigger for her, I give her a warning, “I’m going to hold you from behind.”

“I trust you.”

“Thank you, Grace. That means a lot to me.”

“I check through my walk-in closet and pull out a gray shirt that will match Grace’s eyes.”

“No one has ever made me feel the way you do, and no one will. There’s only you, Grace.” “You’re a masterpiece that was made just for me.”

“Staring at my beautiful wife, I can’t believe someone so perfect belongs to me.”

“Who would’ve thought that things would turn out this way? Me, the man who didn’t give a shit about having a family, wanting one with Grace. It just took the right woman to cross my path.”

“You said you want children,”

“Yes.”

“I can’t wait to have you pregnant with our child, Grace.”

“Thank you for trying so hard to make this marriage work. I know I forced you, but I did it because you deserved so much better, and I couldn’t leave you in Ireland. I wanted you here with me where you could heal, and nothing could hurt you again.”

“Sakra, si krásna, moja žena.”
“Damn, you’re beautiful, my wife.”

“We never got to dance on our wedding day.” 🥹

“Mmmh. Are you falling in love with me?”

“I started falling in love with you the second you glared at me and told me I couldn’t marry your sister. One look at the fire in your eyes, and I was done for.” He gives me another smirk. “I saw that fire again when you told Ilias off. It was one hell of a turn-on.”

“I tighten my arm around her shoulders as I think of ways to make our first kiss romantic and special for her.”

“You’re a little temptress.”

“I didn’t do anything,”

“I just want to get home so I can be alone with Grace.”

“Careful, láska,” (love)

“You look handsome.”
“I was going for dangerous, but handsome works,”

“You look beautiful, moja žena,” (my wife)

“I love the perfume you use. It’s refreshing and makes me think of our home.”

“As long as I’m the man in your dreams, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

“Close your eyes and rest, moja žena.”

“What do the words mean?”

“My wife,”

“You’re always quick to take care of others, never thinking of yourself.” He shakes his head. “I’m the one who will take care of you. I will worry about you, and right now, you’re dead on your feet, miláčik.”

“Then why did you run away for a second time?”

“Because you’re very attractive, and it makes me feel nervous.”

“Nervous is good,” “I can work with that.”

“Eat.”

“Yes, miláčik.”

“I’m starting to think you’re doing it on purpose.”

“Just say if you want me to walk around shirtless.”

“What if you change your mind and you want more?” “Then I’ll just have to take a lot of cold showers,”

“Can I really trust you, or is this just a ploy to get me to let my guard down?”

“You won’t believe anything I say, and that’s okay. Let me show you I can be trusted.”

“You’re safe, miláčik,” (sweetheart)

“He saved my life. Twice.
He insisted on marrying me instead of Ciara.
He shot Dad for slapping me.
He gave me my own bedroom instead of forcing me to share his bed.
He’s assured me, again and again, that he won’t hurt me.
He’s patient with me.”

My gaze lifts until it stops on the X and broken heart tattooed beneath his left eye.

“What does the X and broken heart mean?”

“Keep people out, and you won’t have your heart broken.”

“She can’t be the only good person you know,”

“Not anymore,” I reply. With my eyes locked with hers, I admit, “There’s you as well.”

“Jebat. I’m married. Grace is my wife, and oddly, the thought fills me with intense satisfaction. The fire in her eyes will return once she realizes I won’t hurt her. The corner of my mouth lifts, knowing her fiery temper now belongs to me.”
