"Tonight, I don't want you to be quiet. I want to hear every sound out of your mouth. Every part of your body singing for me."

“The butterflies in my belly were fluttering south, waiting for him to take over me. It wasn't just a want anymore; it was a need. I needed him just as much as he needed me. Everything between us was real and from this point forward, there wouldn't be any stopping us.”

"You called me Evander in that beautiful head of yours. You are the only person that I ever wanted to call me by that name. Eros is my given name but Evander was chosen under the curse by me."

"You are my forever. The marking might have disappeared when we tied ourselves in marriage, but the promise never did."

“Then, he walked toward me. With each step my heart beat faster. This was where it would change for us. There would be no more games. No more pretending.”
