Quote preview background for Christine Feehan
His hand cupped her face, his thumb caressing the delicate line of her jaw. __isten to me, Raven._ He brushed a kiss on the top of her silky head. __ know I do not deserve you. You think you are somehow less than what I am, but in truth, you are so far above me, I have no right even to reach for you._ When she stirred as if to protest, Mikhail held her tighter. __o, little one, I know this is true. I see you clearly, whereas you do not have access to my thoughts and memories. I cannot give you up. I wish I was a stronger, better man so that I could do so, but I cannot. I can only promise you that I will do everything in my power to make you happy, to provide for you everything I can possibly give you. I ask for time to learn your ways, for room to make mistakes. If you need to hear words of love__ his mouth skimmed down the side of her face to find the corner of her mouth__ then I can say them to you in all honesty. I never believed I would have a woman of my own, a true lifemate. I have never wanted a woman for my own._ His kiss was infinitely tender, a searing, smoky flame tasting of love and longing. __ou are in my heart to stay, Raven. I know better than you the differences between us. I ask only for a chance.

He talked about luck and fate and numbers coming up, yet he never ventured a nickel at the casinos because he knew the house had all the percentages. And beneath his pessimism, his bleak conviction that all the machinery was rigged against him, at the bottom of his soul was a faith that he was going to outwit it, that by carefully watching the signs he was going to know when to dodge and be spared. It was fatalism with a loophole, and all you had to do to make it work was never miss a sign. Survival by coordination, as it were. The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but to those who can see it coming and jump aside. Like a frog evading a shillelagh in a midnight marsh.
