The one who had the power to take me apart was also the only one with the power to put me back together again.

Because I want you again. I want in you again. I want to make you come with my cock so deep you’ll never forget I was there. I want to come inside you, Brynne, and feel that with you.

I have no intentions of letting you go.” I swallowed hard. “If you come with me you’re signing on for all of me, Brynne. I don’t know any other way to be with you. It’s all in for me. And I want it to be all in for you too.

Decisions were permanent, and although we could regret some of them, we couldn’t call them back. I had made some poor ones. Neil had too. I guess the best we could hope for, was to love each other as honestly as possible on each day we had left together. And hope for many, many long years of those days in the future.

I lifted my eyes and got that wave of emotion again as his blues found me. I loved him so much I knew the fear. I’d heard others speak about it. I’d read about it in books. Now I understood. The fear that you have when you finally give your heart away to another person. It makes you very vulnerable to loss. If you never love anyone, then you’ll never be hurt when they don’t love you back or when they leave you. I finally had the practical experience of understanding. It sucked.

You’re not meant to be alone. You’re meant to be with me.

Bossy James was hotter than hell and slapped every sexual button. Hard.

It’s never been like this. It was beautiful and savage – it was filthy and precious.

Years of living with my feelings only cemented what I knew. I was so lost in him. I always had been, and I knew that I’d accept whatever he offered and deal with the consequences later.

Brynne was my heaven. I’d seek out my heaven endlessly.
