“Just because we’re
married, don’t think I won’t gut you.”
Only when she reached the door did she hear him say, “I would
expect nothing less, wife.”

“When it came to
anyone harming her, he seemed to operate by a kill first, ask
questions later philosophy.”

“Heart,” he said steadily. The spikes on his
shoulders made him look like a demon. His blood-slicked armor
glimmered in the moonlight. “If waging a war for one woman is a
crime, then please do consider me a criminal.” Closer. “If killing
thousands to keep you alive is wrong, then consider me a villain.”
She now had to tilt her head to see him clearly. He leaned down. His
breath was hot against her mouth. “If loving you this much is my
downfall . . . then consider me already on my knees.”

“You shouldn’t have bound yourself to me.” She
closed her eyes again and tears swept down her face.
Grim’s thumb traced her jawline, smearing the tears away. “I
would do it again,” he said, his voice a deep rasp against her ear. “I
would do it a thousand times over, heart; you should know that. I
will choose you over the world every single time.”
