Chapter 541
- I wonder if the other man could so easily brush off her violent tendencies and true passionate self quite so effortlessly. Daniel seems to be taking moments to think, and his eyes never leave that little blonde head as she stares at their feet on the ground between them. Her body is emanating all kinds of aggressive self-defense, but he holds tight.
- “Tell Kurt it’s over and give me a chance Leila. I’m willing to swallow my fear and try if that’s what you want. I can’t promise I’m not going to fuck things up and make mistakes, but I can’t stand the thought of you being with anyone else anymore. Too many years we’ve done this and come around in circles. I just want you and no one else. It’s never been anyone else.” It’s barely a whisper, but we all hear it loud and clear, oozing complete sincerity.
- “By trying, you mean stop fucking around with other women and me? Stop acting like some man-whore on a mission to bed everyone in the northern hemisphere?!” Leila lifts her chin and glares at him fully. She’s not for backing down; I wouldn’t expect anything less of her. She is a spitting little fireball, even with love declarations and promises of more, still not quite ready to trust him.
