Kindle Notes & Highlights
We don’t look at each other as we walk, but he touches my shoulder gently and gestures me across his body. He moves me to the opposite side of him before taking up position by the road.
Sidewalk rule
I hear a knock at the door. “No!” I bark toward the door.
I’m not opening that fucking door for anyone. “Yes!” Summer barks back, banging again. “Open up.” Except maybe Summer.
“Careful. Your dad told me to keep my hands off you.” “Yeah, well, he didn’t tell me to keep my hands off you
“Don’t be ridiculous. You’ll sleep in my room.”
I’m so ready for thisss
“You know, it’s not my place to say, but you should know that what Rhett is doing, he’s doing for you. For this place.”
Yeah defend your man that’s not your man (yet)
Summer as she pulls Emmett’s cowboy hat off and plunks it on her head
Noooooo😭 does she not know the rules?!
“What the hell is the cowboy hat rule?” “You wear the hat, you ride the cowboy.”
With one step forward, my hand darts out and I yank the saddle-brown cowboy hat off his head and place it on mine.
Hell yeah girl!!
“Having you think I’m out fucking everything that moves when I’ve looked at nothing and no one since the first day I laid eyes on you. I stepped into that godforsaken boardroom, and you practically demanded I become obsessed with you.”
“Having to spend all day, every day, with you and this smart mouth . . .” His spare hand yanks the can of whipping cream from my sweaty grip. He holds it up, hitting me with the most sinful grin. “And not being able to use it the way I want to. To fill it the way I want to.”
“How does that taste, Princess?”
“Good girl. You wish that was my cum, don’t you?”
“Now, tell me honestly, Summer. If this were your last moment on earth, what would you want me to do?” I don’t even need to think about it. I know what I want from him. “Ruin me.” “Good. I’m about fucking done being a gentleman with you. And the only thing I’m ruining you for is anyone else.”
😩🥵
“Because if this were my last moment on earth, that’s how I’d want to go.” I thrust in hard now, watching her body shake with the force, hearing her curse. “Head between these pretty little thighs, your pussy on my tongue.”
Blushing furiously
“You’ve been playing the long game this entire time, haven’t you? You didn’t have a teenaged crush on me at all. You’ve been plotting my murder for over a decade.”
What if I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me?
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all by design
'Cause I'm a mastermind
He’s connected the freckles to say Mine
What if he’s written mine on my upper thigh only in my mind??
“It never mattered whose eyes were on your mom. Because her eyes were always on me.”
Summer wasn’t just made for me. She’s it for me.
“He is my husband.
I’m sorry. WHAT?!
So not only is Doctor Douche, summers doctor, he’s also summers sisters husband.
Summer. Darling. I’ve done a lot of questionable decision but this might top the cake…
“Talk to her like that again and I’ll fucking bury you. And trust me, you won’t be missed.”
Ugh so protective 😩
I am not possessive. I am protective. And I’ll never stop protecting you. I’d hit that fucker again in a heartbeat if it meant keeping him from talking to you that way.”
Smaaasshhhh
“No, he’s not okay. He rides fucking angry cows with testicles for a living. He’s standing crooked like a broken cock. And he’s clearly got more than a few screws rattling around in his thick head.”
What a way with words
men don’t look at a woman the way he looks at you unless they’re out of their goddamn mind for that person.
But what I saw that night was a man who’d burn everything down to defend you. I saw a man who’d risk it all to take care of you.”
But that man wears his love for you on his sleeve for the entire world to see. And he doesn’t give a shit who sees it. He’d scream it from the mountain tops if you asked him to. It’s written all over him. And you definitely need that.”
“Tell me what to do, Summer. Tell me, and I’ll do it. Was I unclear before? Because I want to be crystal clear now. I love you. I loved you the moment you walked into that boardroom and smirked at me like you knew something I didn’t. It bothered me, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Wanting to know what you know. I fixated on it, but I think I was just fixated on you.”
“And I still am. I always will be. This thing between us? For me? It’s everything. It’s it. You’re it. I’ve spent years thinking I didn’t have someone who really supported me. But that was only because I hadn’t met you yet. You were out there, wanting me. And all it took was one meeting with you for me to want you too. A few weeks for me to know that I’d do anything to support you too.” He shakes his head and peers out the window. “You were out there this whole time, and now I know you exist, and I can never go back. Wouldn’t want to if I could.”
Summer: Good luck tonight. Rhett: I love you.
I found the piece that was missing. I have no idea what I’m going to do with the rest of my life, but I know I’m going to do it with Summer. I’m going to keep coming back, keep proving to her we’re better together.
Choosing each other. Finding each other. Showing up for each other. And everything about the moment is flawless.
