“I want to be in your mind, in your heart, and in your fucking soul the way you are in mine. You and me, Princess…”

“Against the world.”

“That’s right. You’re never alone, Princess,”

“Bridget and I kept our hands clasped together as we walked through the storm. One battle down, one war to win. Good thing I was, and always will be, a soldier for one queen.”

“I’m right here. I’m not leaving. I take care of what’s mine, and you’ve been mine since the moment I saw you outside your poorly secured house at Thayer. Until I fixed it, of course.”

“You couldn’t stand me back then.”

“Doesn’t matter. You were still mine. Mine to fight with. Mine to protect. Mine to fuck. Mine to love.”

“I’m calling in my favor.”

“I was expecting your call.” I could practically see Alex Volkov’s smile over the phone, icy and humorless. “What can I do for you, Your Highness?”

ALEX!!!!!

“We never got to dance at the wedding.”

“You don’t like it when I dance,”

“I love it when you dance. But only with me.”

“I want you to know something, Princess. There’s not much in the world I want to claim as mine. I’ve seen and done too much shit in my life to believe in forever. But you… You belong to me. I don’t give a fuck what the law or anyone else says. You are mine.”

“I was addicted. Me, the man who’d avoided most addictive substances all his life—drugs, smoking, alcohol, even sugar, to an extent—had found the one thing I couldn’t resist.”

“Perhaps…I was always meant to find my way to you.”
