Oh hell." He gasped, his back arching, his balls drawing up painfully tight. "Don't make me come too quickly.

Love will find a way against time itself.

Gideon brought into my life. The acceptance and the love. The safety. Gideon had given me my freedom back, a life without terror. Giving him vows in return was too simple a repayment for that.

What the hell was I supposed to do, Eva? I didn’t know you existed.” Gideon’s voice deepened, roughened. “If I’d known you were out there, I would’ve hunted you down. I wouldn’t have waited a second to find you. But I didn’t know, and I settled for less. So did you. We both wasted ourselves on the wrong people.

You’re different,” he said, touching my face.Of course I was. The man I loved had killed for me. A lot of things became inconsequential after a sacrifice like that.

—Te miro, cielo, y deseo tenerte con todas mis fuerzas. Quiero estar contigo, escucharte, hablar contigo. Quiero oírte reír y abrazarte cuando llores. Quiero sentarme a tu lado, respirar el mismo aire, compartir contigo la vida misma. Quiero despertarme contigo así todos los días de mi vida. Quiero tenerte.

-Por ti yo haría que el mundo dejara de dar vueltas.

Después de todo lo que Gideon y yo habíamos pasado, lo que seguíamos pasando, todo lo que él había hecho por mí... era más difícil desconfiar que creer.

-Tú no me perderías nunca,cielo-me aseguró-.Dondequiera que vayas,por lejos que sea,allí estaré yo contigo.
