I let my guard down with him. I fell so damn hard. He broke my heart far worse than I’ll ever let anyone know.
Fool me once, never again. That’s the new saying.”
Because the very last thing I need in my life is someone who makes me feel like there’s not enough oxygen in my lungs when I’ve only just caught my breath.
“Call your dog off, Eaton.” She keeps walking, only addressing Rhett, like I’m not even here. But goddamn, I love a challenge. I turn with a loud, “Woof!” as I watch her petite frame slip into the bright light of the warm, bustling house.
I want to know more about Winter Valentine. Like when that divorce is happening.
“Is that why they scream Oh Theo, this is so boring! when I’m inside them?”
“They just tell you that so you’ll finish and stop flopping around on top of them.” “Do you think? Maybe we could arrange a time when you can instruct me on how to flop less. I do love to practice.”
“Careful, that one’s got claws,” Cade offers right as Willa shoves a pointy elbow into his ribs. I grin. “That’s okay. I like having my back scratched.”
“I think I like you because you are a heart-stopping, jaw-dropping type of beautiful.”
“But I’ve also had a lot of concussions. So my judgment could be off,”
“Winter. I’d have properly fucked you in the back room of that gas station if you’d asked me.”
“Consent, Tink. I’m worried about consent. The rest isn’t an issue.” His voice drops to a low growl. “You’d get there with me. I’d make sure of it.”
“I’m going to ruin you tonight.”
“I can’t wait to see how fucking pretty you look when you come with my name on your lips.”
I can’t think of anything worse than everyone around you knowing something this personal before you’ve even had a chance to process.
“Other than tequila and doggy style—fuck.”
“Watch your fucking tone when you’re talking to the mother of my child.”
“I think people mistake you being in a bad mood when you’re just overwhelmed. I think you needed to lie here for a few minutes with no one needing you. I think you’re overstimulated and even the best of us require some time to collect ourselves.”
His mouth slants over mine and he swallows my laughter like he wants to keep it for himself. He created it, so I suppose it’s only fair I give it back to him.
“I want you unhinged for me. Just . . . disrespect me. Just for a bit.”
“You’d like to be my pretty little slut tonight?”
I want to go home and be with my girls.”
“Dr. Hamilton in the streets, filthy slut in the sheets.”
I need a hug after the last few hours and something about a squishy baby just hits different.
“Yeah. We haven’t done one of those yet, have we? Wear a slutty dress for me.”
“I’m not sweet.” “You are. I’ve tasted you. And now I want to again. Let’s get the fuck out of here.”
“Lean back. Play with your pussy and come on my cock. I want to watch you again.”
“Why did you bring Peter?” “Because he’s part of our family, no matter how much he reminds me of the weird squirrel from Ice Age. And I like it when he sleeps between my feet, so he’s stuck with me now. Just like you.”
It strikes me that perhaps I’m not an easy woman to love, but Theo does it so effortlessly that I feel like I could be. Like I deserve to be.
