Lachlan’s gentleness is not restraint. It is control, hunger, and a promise Isabella feels everywhere.
“I’ll be gentle with you, Mouse.” I lowered my mouth until it was barely above hers. “But don’t mistake gentle for restrained. I want every one of those pretty little sounds you make.”
Her pupils blew wide.
“And before I’m finished with you, I want to hear you scream my name.”
~Lachlan Byrnes, Eyes Never Lie
