That wanting nearly drove me mad.â€ Patch paused, inhaling softly, as though breathing me in. â€œAnd now that I have you, the only thing that terrifies me is having to go back to that place. Having to want you all over again, with no hope of my desire ever being fulfilled. Youâ€™re mine, Angel. Every last piece of you. I wonâ€™t let anything change that.”
