“I love you, Assail. I love you with all that I am and all I will ever be, and if you die tonight or tomorrow or the night after, I just want you to know that you will always be with me. Right… here.”
“Revenge… was a dish best served calmly..”
“I love you, too, Jane Whitcomb. Forevermore.”
I see you, he thought. And you are beautiful to me.
For a male who existed separately from everyone, even his brothers, he had to have this unity with his female, with Jane. She and she alone was the one who he could be both strong and vulnerable with, his brilliant, beautiful, full-of-compassion female.The stars of this book for me. ❤️ And I’m so dang happy with the outcome. I was sweating over this book because of what was teased in the last book and that bomb Ward dropped at the last book signing. Trust me, I was expecting to come out of this wanting to rip Vishous a new asshole. V and Jane are very much a polarized BDB couple, some love them while others don't. I'm the former. I've loved them as a couple and loved their story in Lover Unbound. And given that J.R. Ward has already tried messing with these 2 before and the outcome wasn't great, I was naturally very worried that this couple was done for and that the magic was no longer there. But thankfully, I'm happy to report that the Vane magic is very much still there, still alive and kicking. Huzzah! 🎉
"Yup." Her smile was radiant. "I'm still here."
As his eyes watered from all the fucking feels, he wanted to cut them out of his skull with spoons. "I am so glad no one else can see me like this, true?"
"You meet another woman-female, whatever she is-behind my back and you don't know why you did it? You're the smartest person I have ever met, and even dumb people know why they cheat."
"I told you, I didn't touch her-"
"Bullshit!..."
“You’re so damned superior,” she muttered. “I’m the son of a fucking deity. You want me to be average?”
"What you did or didn't do doesn't matter to me. Because as far as I'm concerned, you're a free male as of right now."
