There aren’t words to tell you what you mean to me. But I hope that when you see this ring on your hand, you’ll remember that you shine as brightly as diamonds in my life and you’re infinitely more precious.
Angel, if you’re not missing the feel of my cock inside you, I need to step it up, not hold back.
Gideon walked briskly and I hurried to keep up. When he stopped abruptly, turned, and dipped me back in a lavish heated kiss on the crowded sidewalk, I was too stunned to do more than hold on. It was a soul-wrenching melding of our mouths, full of passion and sweet spontaneity that made my heart ache. Applause broke out around us. When he straightened me again, I was breathless and dizzy. “What was that?” I gasped. “A prelude.
I loved him too much. I was constantly worried that I wouldn’t be able to hold on to him. He was lightning in a bottle, a dream I tried to hold in my hands.
No matter how close we were, it was never close enough.
My eyes stung as they always did whenever I saw Cary happy. Dr. Travis was the closest thing to a father that he had and I knew how much Cary loved him.
Gideon had killed Nathan to protect me. Clancy had made sure Gideon would never pay for it.
I threw my head back and screamed bloody murder, completely fed up with everyone in my life.
You’ll never lose me, angel,” he vowed. “Wherever you go, however far, I’ll be right here with you.
As I sat in my chair, her gaze followed me. I adjusted the fit of my headset and paused when I realized she was staring. She liked looking at me.

There’s nothing you could say that would affect anything. If she wanted my money, I’d give her every cent. If she wanted another man, I’d make her forget him.
I was always running. My recovery was so fragile that I’d learned to protect it at all costs. When something threatened my stability, I ditched it.
I want someone who knows everything to be standing with me when you come down the aisle. I don’t want there to be any pretense. Not for something this important. When we face each other and say our vows again, I need that to be... real.
We both had hang-ups, insecurities, and an addiction to each other that required regular contact to keep us functioning properly. I hated being apart from him. I rarely went more than a couple of hours without thinking of him.
We both know that’s not exactly healthy, Gideon.” “Says who? No one else knows what it’s like to be us.
I can’t just give up my life for you. If I turn into arm candy, you’ll get bored real quick. Hell, I’d get sick of myself. It shouldn’t kill us to spend a couple days straightening out other parts of our lives, even if we hate doing it.” His gaze captured mine. “You’re too much trouble to be arm candy.” “Takes a troublemaker to know one.
My problem was me, and I didn’t want to concern him with something he couldn’t change. Only I could make myself a stronger person, and I needed to, if I wanted to make him happy and offer him the security he so desperately wanted from me.
What else can I bargain with? You have everything.” “Your time and attention are the two things you can leverage. I’ll do anything for them.
