I love you,โ he said fiercely. โ โTis not true that I kept a part of my heart locked away from you. You own all of it, lass. Youโve always owned it. I didnโt give it to you. You took it from the very start.
Maya BanksThis doesn't just involve you, honey. If it did, then what you suggest might be the best option. But it involves Shea and, by proxy, everyone at KGI because now you and your sister both are part of us. We don't run from a fight. It's not what KGI is about. KGI is about family. It's about protecting what matters the most to us. It's about never letting anyone take what is ours. You and Shea are ours now, we'll protect you with our last breaths.
Maya BanksYou have more power, more control than you could possibly imagine. My heart is in your hands. That's not bullshit. I'm not saying stuff I think you want to hear in order to manipulate you. I can't be any more honest than this. I'm yours, baby. I'm putting it out there. My heart, my soul, it all belongs to you.

Youโre real.โ She pulled away, looked up at him, the same answering emotion shining in her blue eyes. With a groan, he lowered his mouth to hers. He couldnโt hold back. Nothing in the world would have kept him from kissing her in that moment. He was overcome.
