Falling Into Love with You (The Hate-Love Duet #2) - Lauren Rowe Page 0,113
reception. I pull away from my mom, wiping my eyes, and instantly notice Savage standing on the edge of the dance floor, grinning at me. He gestures to the dance floor, clearly inviting me to dance with him. So, I take my husband’s hand and let him guide me to the middle of the floor for our first dance as husband and wife.
As Savage holds me close, my own voice serenades Savage and me, and I’m struck by the unbridled truth of my words. I’ve got a savage love for this man, and I know he loves me the same way—because our love is, and always will be, infinite and everlasting.

One for the money
Two for the show
Three cuz you’re so good givin’ Os
Ooooooooooh
Four for the cameras
Five for the fame
No catchin’ feelings, only a game
Ooooooooooh
But then six came along when we had our first kiss
Six made me swoon, yell out “I call dibs!”
Six watched you sleep, whispered, “I want this.”
Six held you tight in a white knuckled grip
Ooooooooooh
And now I’ve got a savage love for you
I’ve lost count of all the ways you’ve made me a slave to you
There’s no doubt my love is here to stay, I’m addicted to you
I’ve got a savage love for you, infinite and everlasting
Six hit the road, now it’s long gone
Seven came along, now you’re second to none
Ooooooooooh
Cameras are off and our love remains
Eight, nine, and ten, our love never fades
Ooooooooooh
Fake became real and want became need
Can’t live without you, I need you to breathe
You’re swimming in my bloodstream, enmeshed in my heart
I dream about you, in pain when we part
Ooooooooooh
I’ve got a savage love for you
I’ve lost count of all the ways you’ve made me a slave to you
There’s no doubt my love is here to stay, I’m addicted to you
I’ve got a savage love for you
Infinite and everlasting
Take my heart, take my soul,
Take my blood, bones, and flesh
Take the air from my lungs, every pound, every inch
Take it all, every ounce, I give everything
Savage love, my sweet addiction
Oooooooh
And now I’ve got a savage love for you
Infinite and everlasting
When the song ends, Savage kisses my cheek and whispers into my ear, “I’ve got a savage love for you, Mrs. Savage.”
I kiss him, but I don’t need to say a word in reply, since the song has already said it all for me. I’ve got a savage love for my husband, too. This beautiful, generous man. A love that’s unbreakable and sacred. Unconditional and true. Infinite and everlasting.
