I leaned forward on the table and leveled her with my steady gaze. โDo not ever speak to her that way again. If she hadnโt agreed to come with me I wouldnโt have come. Donโt underestimate her importance. Sheโs mine. Respect that.
Abbi GlinesI love you,โ I said, causing his face to contort in pain. โIโm not a man so I do not have a heart that loves as a human does. Iโm an immortal god that dwells with supreme power because I hold the keys to Death. But you are my existence. I am yours.โ Hot tears streamed down my face as I stared into the face of someone who comprehended an emotion much stronger than my weak, feeble words of love.
Abbi GlinesThis is new for me. I'm learning how to have a realtionship with someone other than Ashton. I made a horrible mistake. It was like a relapse. But you," I reached up and tucked the tear dampened hair that had worked its way loose behind her ear. "You touch a place inside of me that Ashton never did. I feel things with you I never felt for her. I loved her for a very long time. I can't help the fact I still want to be there if she needs me. Next time there is a choice to make it will be you I choose first. I can promise you that.
Abbi GlinesI wanted to live. For the father and brother who I never knew and for my mother who was cheated of a life of happiness. I wanted to live for them. And I wanted to live for me.
Abbi GlinesThe whole townโs talking about the way Jax Stone sat in your hospital room and snag to you until you came out of your coma. Then he apparently wouldnโt leave you alone for a minute. The boy sounds hooked.
Abbi GlinesJust to make your eyes sparkle, I'd do anything. I could give it all up to know you were my girl. Just being with you and listening to your laugh is what makes up my other half. I was lost and cold inside when your heart called out to mine. Now I know you're the only thing that keeps me hanging on, when the rest of the world seems to come crashing down." -Jax Stone
Abbi GlinesBecause Iโve had a taste and Iโm not sharing. This isnโt just for fun. I may be slightly addicted.
Abbi GlinesYou think this necklace is a tailsman?" "Yep, I'm not stupid Leif. I hang with Death, ya know.
Abbi GlinesThe one thing Iโd learned was that having someone with you all the time did not take away the loneliness. You could be surrounded by people and be lonely. Something was missing. I could almost pinpoint it, but right when it was within my grasp I forgot; it just slipped away.
Abbi GlinesThis is the most precious gift anyone has ever received. You gave me back a memory that I will cherish forever. You gave me something from my grandma I didn't know I had. And you kept it and it lef you back to mme. It gave me you'' I felt a wetness in my eyes and I blinked confused from the strange sensation. A small trickle of water rand down my cheek. I stared into the darkness as I held Pagan in my arms in amazement Death had just shed a tear.
Abbi GlinesInside I knew he was meant to be the guy that taught me about life. Even if he broke my heart eventually.
Abbi GlinesIt's called Valentine's Day, you moron. If you're going to date a human, Dankmar, you need to remember their holidays.
Abbi GlinesWhen I'm with you, my world is complete. When I touch you, I understand the meaning of life. When I lost you, I completely shattered. You. Own. Me.
Abbi GlinesYou just came wild and sexy all over my hand and even left some claw marks on my back to prove it. Donโt go getting shy on me now. โCause baby, before the night is over you will be naked in my bed.
Abbi GlinesWhat Death protects can't be harmed and baby, you're the only thing I protect - Dank, Predestined
Abbi GlinesTalk. We are going to talk first. I want to see you smile and laugh. I want to know what your favorite show was when you were a kid and who made you cry at school and what boy band you hung posters of on your wall. Then I want you naked in my bed again.
Abbi GlinesDid you really think I would be this excited about college if I thought I'd be leaving my girl behind?
Abbi GlinesIn my search to find myself, Iโd found so much more. I knew now why I wanted to live. I understood love. I had found it.
Abbi GlinesYou're it for me, baby. Just you. You're not going to be your mother. You're special and unique and we're going to get you help. But I will be right by your side the entire time. I'll never leave you. I swear it.
Abbi GlinesBe glad I don't have my gun because right now I'm considering the different ways I can get you to shut up. Let me scream and back off.
Abbi GlinesIf I lose you because of the blind idiot I've been then I will be the one who is destroyed
Abbi GlinesBut Ash, I can't continue to want you from a distance. To love you and not have you. I'd end up in jail if anyone tried to touch you and God forbid you tried to date someone.
Abbi GlinesI knew then that I had never understood what humans called love. But if that was anything close to the power you held over me, then no wonder they searched for it so passionately." I reached out and pulled him into bed with me. "You're going to be late." "Why ?" "Because after hearing that I can't let you leave until I've had my fill. Get naked, Dankmar.
Abbi GlinesI'm not going to hurt her. I know she's special and I tried to stay away, but when I'm with I don't feel so cold and alone.
Abbi GlinesI know this because I understand now what love really feels like. The kind that consumes you. Love holds the power to break you. It holds the power to complete you.
Abbi GlinesMy beautiful soul,"he murmured and caressed my cheek."When you have the ultimate selfless sacrifice it paid my wrong.You proved to be worthy of my devotion.Of Death's...love.
Abbi GlinesI donโt want to love you,โ I forced out through the thickness in my throat. โGod, I hope you do, because you own me completely,โ he whispered.
Abbi GlinesWhen you fall for the one that owns you, sheโll be the only one that has the power to make you cry.
Abbi GlinesHe pressed a kiss to my ear. โDo you feel stretched? Can you tell Iโve been inside you?โ I nodded, feeling my knees go a little weak from the tone in his voice. โGood. I like knowing you can feel where Iโve been.
Abbi GlinesThis is what it feels like to care about someone who doesn't feel the same. I'd only known how it felt to love someone who loved me just as fiercely. I'd never known rejection. I'd never wanted someone who didn't want me. The longing didn't go away with rejection.
Abbi GlinesAnd you've got a boy right there who looks at you like he would drink your bathwater if you'd ask him!
Abbi GlinesYes, of course. I was on her like, um... I believe that old woman last week we took after she'd burnt down her house cooking said 'like white on rice.
Abbi GlinesI get to keep you,โ he said, staring at me with an intensity that made me shiver. โKeep me?โ I asked, reaching up to kiss his chin and trail kisses down his perfect neck. โNot here. I canโt take much more, Pagan. Iโm only so strong,โ he said in a husky voice as he pulled me against his chest. โYouโre mine now. While you walk the Earth you belong to me. Nothing can hurt you.โ I heard a touch of humor in his voice. โItโs pretty impossible to hurt what Death protects.
Abbi GlinesNo one expected the preacher's daughter to sin, but they sure would love to catch me at it.
