“Please, angel. Make me your home.”

“Eden, angel. Please. Please forgive me. Please give me another chance. Please give me a reason to keep fighting, to be a better man. Redeem me. Only you can.”

“Am I supposed to be your submissive?”…He chuckled good-naturedly. “Submissive? I’m sorry to disappoint you my angel, but I don’t run with that crowd. Perhaps you’ll submit to me tonight, but after that, I’ll be the one submitting to you.”

“I could never forget your voice. You sound like an angel who’s gotten her wings dirty.”

“There was pain and then there was agony. Hello, agony. I’d been waiting for you. Finish me off. Please.”

“You can scream, angel. I love the sound of my name coming from your lips, especially while I’m occupied with these ones.”

“I once told you to leave and not to love me,” he cried out, muffled. “I’m taking all of that back. Not because I deserve it or because I’m worthy of your love. But because I need it like the air I breathe. I need you. I need you to believe in me. I need your love to make me feel like I can be redeemed.”
