61 " You’re the first woman who’s ever made me afraid. Afraid of how good this is. Afraid it won’t last. Scared to death of losing you. "
― Nina Lane , Awaken (Spiral of Bliss #3)
62 " Easy, beauty,” He presses his mouth to the tears that have slipped from the corners of my eyes and down my temples. His breath rasps against my ear. “Come first, and then I’ll fuck you. "

63 " You show me what I can be.""No. I just know what you are. "
64 " ...putting down roots doesn't mean you're trapped of stifled or even...ordinary. It just means that you figured out where home is. "
65 " Feel that?” he asked. “You’re the first woman who’s ever made my heart beat like that. You’re the first woman I’ve ever wanted to spend all my time with, the only one who could convince me to start a new life. You’re the first woman who’s ever made me genuinely happy. Who makes me glad to be alive, who makes me burn hotter than fire. You’re the first woman who’s ever made me afraid.” I stared at him. “Afraid?”“Afraid of how good this is. Afraid it won’t last.” He pushed a lock of hair off my forehead. “Scared to death of losing you.” “Oh.” I was speechless. I swallowed hard. “You’re … You don’t have to be scared of losing me.” Something flickered in his expression that I didn’t understand, couldn’t decipher. “I don’t?” he said. “No.” I shook my head. “No.”“Good.” He pulled me closer. “Because you’re the first woman I’ve never wanted to let go. "

66 " I didn’t know this kind of love existed, the kind that can both shatter you to pieces and make you whole. "
67 " you know you’ll always be my beauty. "
68 " Christ, Liv, sometimes the way you look at me makes me feel like I can hang the fucking moon. "
69 " So pretty with her long hair and bright eyes. And so pure and damaged at the same time, like a priceless vase threaded with cracks. "
70 " Our marriage has always been an island, a safe place where sea-dragons and monstrous creatures can’t reach us. Now we’re letting them in, gnashing teeth and all, and we are failing to protect each other. "
71 " You don’t know that I started believing in impossible things after I met you. Maybe a person could slide down a rainbow or taste the clouds or count to infinity. Why not, if there was Liv in the world? The stars shone brighter, the colors of the world became more vivid, everything was clearer, happier, better. All because of you. "
72 " Look, I’m not going to apologise anymore … Yes, I want to protect you. You’re my wife. I’d fucking kill for you, Liv, and if that makes me a possessive bastard of a husband, then fine. That’s what I am. I’m not going to change either. I love you too goddamned much. "
73 " Our island. Our love. Our marriage. "
74 " I press my lips to her temple, tightening my arms around her. “Let’s see what finds us. "
75 " Professors have a lot of power.”I almost smiled. “Even medieval history professors?”“Especially medieval history professors,” he assured me.“Knights on horseback and all that?”A responding smile tugged at his mouth. “And damsels in distress. "
76 " life is both transitory and filled with permanence. "
77 " Instead he just waited. I had the strange thought that he would wait forever. "
78 " As self-possessed as he is, when he’s tired from working too hard, his whole demeanor softens with vulnerability… which makes me want to tuck him right beneath my heart and hold on tight. "
79 " Pie love you, professor,” I whisper. “Have faith in me, okay?” “Ah, Liv.” He presses his lips to my forehead. “I don’t have faith in anyone but you. "
80 " He’s been protecting this intense, precious bond we share that is more than desire, more than tenderness, more than adoration, more than love. "
