You tried to kidnap me, Luc.
Hmm, he murmured. That means I like you.
I arched a brow. Okay. That's messed up on about a thousand different levels.
Probably, I don't people well.

A Luxen didn't kiss you, Evie. His lips brushed mine. But neither did a human.

I kinda like the arm-grabbing thing," he replied, shoving his hands into the pockets of his jeans. "Very dominant of you. Maybe I'm the submissive type in, you know, the-

Do you want me to take one of those creepy, self-indulgent selfies of my stomach and send it to you?" Luc asked. "Then you can check me out whenever you want, even when I'm not around.

I like you, Evie." His hand lifted with startling quickness and he picked up a piece of my hair. "Lots.

Even if you wake up and you donβt know who you are and you donβt know who I am, itβll be okay. Iβll be here, and Iβll help you remember.β His lips brushed my forehead. βIβve got enough love for you that Iβm overflowing with it. Itβll be more than enough if you wake up and see me as a stranger.β
Lucβs next breath sounded as ragged as my heart felt.
βNo matter how you come back to me, as Evie or as Nadia or someone else, Iβll still love you like I do now, like I did yesterday and the day before, and thatβll be enough.β
Iβll still love you.

My hand balled in the front of his shirt. βThank youββ

His jeans were zipped but unbuttoned, and they hung indecently low - like, so low, they had to be held up by alien superpowers. He had those muscles on either side of his hips, the kind that formed indents. I didn't even know what they were called, but boy, oh boy, did he ever have them. There was a faint dusting of hair that disappeared below the jeans.
