This week's swoon comes from Jessica Rules the Dark Side and is more sweet than sexy but still totally swoon-worthy. 

Indeed, if so much as one hair on my wife's head is disturbed while I cannot protector her, this kingdom will see retribution that will go down in the history books--to be read by the very few who remain standing.

--Pg. 143 of "Jessica Rules the Dark Side" by Beth Fantaskey

As you can see, this is less sexy and more incredibly sweet Lucius' own way. He's always been prone to violence, something he struggles with since that is how he grew up, and his only instinct is to protect Jessica with every fiber of his being. Even though this is a threat, I think it's swoon-worthy because of it's passion and it shows how much he loves her.

What's your swoon this week?
