1 " My favorite thing is when you smile,” he whispered. “My second favorite is knowing I made you smile. "

2 " We deserve each other.” “Got that shit right in one.” Daniel squinted at him. “Must you always swear?” The happiness in Stavros’ chest bubbled over, spilling from his lips in the form of low chuckle. “Fucking yes. "
3 " You deserve—” “You. That is what I deserve, diablo.” Stavros’ lashes lifted. “Then take what you deserve. "
4 " Feelings aren’t something you run from,” Christophe answered softly. “You bring them with you wherever you go. "
5 " We connected through blood and violence,” Daniel said thoughtfully. “We’re bloody, violent men.” A slow smile broke across Daniel’s face. Goddamn. He would never not stun Stavros with that gesture. “We "
6 " I am yours. To fuck. To torture. To kill. I am yours.” For some reason, the truth of those words were the saddest thing Stavros ever experienced. "
7 " That shit was fucking foreplay to me. You know that. "
8 " But the sooner you talk to your brother, the sooner my tongue can be in your ass. "
9 " We’re just here for the Greek.” Stavros cocked his head. “Wait, you’re here to kidnap me from my kidnapper?” Seriously? "
10 " He disappeared into Stavros’ mouth, into his touch. Falling faster and harder than he ever intended. He didn’t outrun the betrayal. No, it stayed with him, keeping pace with every thrust of his tongue into Stavros’ hot and wet mouth. Every tug on Stavros’ hair. Every roll of his hips that pushed him into Stavros’ body, erections grinding. "
11 " I expect you to love me like I love you,” he whispered into that kiss. “I expect you to do right by me, because I will do right by you.” Stavros shuddered. His grip on Daniel faltered. "
12 " Tócame.” His cock lay atop his belly, thick, the veins bulging. Dripping. "
13 " She’d see it, she’d understand just how much Stavros stunned Daniel. She had to know how hard he fought his connection to Stavros. She had to know how impossible it was to fight your heart. "
14 " Daniel’s face with cold, trembling hands. “You died. You died. You died!” He spun away then faced Daniel just as quickly. "
15 " Fuck.” Stavros fell on him. Carefully, though. Cupping Daniel’s face with cold, trembling hands. “You died. You died. You died!” He spun away then faced Daniel just as quickly. “Twice I watched you stop breathing.” His breaths were labored, agony bleeding from his eyes. Dripping from his words. “Twice I watched your heart stop. "
16 " Bending over, he gasped for breath. “Se agápo.” He shook against Daniel. “I love you.” “Diablo, te amo,” Daniel whispered "
17 " My family, the one I’d die for? My family is made up of some of the most dangerous men you’ve never heard of. I’m seven killers deep. "
18 " You don’t get to fucking make me love you then leave me behind. "
19 " Would she recognize her husband the way he was now? In bed with the man who’d slit her throat, halfway gone in love with him. "
20 " And you’re wearing my shirt.” The corners of Daniel’s mouth curved. “Do you mind?” Arms circled his waist and Stavros’ head dropped to rest against Daniel’s back. “I do, but only because I want to touch your skin. "
