Every second Quote by Catherine Anderson
““You are my woman. We are one, forever with no horizon.” “Oh, Hunter, it isn’t that easy. I’m leaving,” she whispered in a quavery voice. “You can’t watch me every second.” “It is forbidden for a woman to leave her husband.” “So is our love.” Hunter’s guts knotted. He couldn’t blame her for wanting to leave. Oh, yes, he understood. He even sympathized, but not so much that he was willing to let her go. She was reeling with shock right now. Later, when she calmed down, perhaps she would see things differently. Regardless, he needed time to think, to decide what to do, to somehow make things right between them. He loved her too much to lose her. Far too much. Hoping to discourage her, he growled, “If you flee, this Comanche will follow you. Anyone who tries to keep you from me will die. Think long and hard on this. I paid a fine bride price. You are my woman. What is mine, I keep.””
