Kindle Notes & Highlights
I hate, hate, hate being called that. Little Dalton, Mini Dalton … everyone in hockey does it, and it’s annoying. I’m always being compared and always have to live up to the expectations Westly Dalton set.
Note to parents everywhere: don’t judge your kid based on what you like.
Zoe, go … have a bath or whatever you womenfolk do to relax.
If I don’t get close to anyone, I can’t hurt them. Or vice versa.
It hurts. It burns. Most importantly, it reminds me I can actually feel pain.
“I get it. You play the dumb card or the asshole card to get out of expressing any kind of emotion.”
“Careful,” he says. “I can’t imagine your dad being cool with you checking out his players.” I pretend to draw a halo over my head. “I am a sweet, innocent angel.” “You were eye fucking my ass.” I shrug. “Again, it’s a nice ass.”
Asher Dalton just gained a new best friend. Whether he wants it or not.
awww
Kole’s head pops up from a table near the door as I enter, and … whoa. Kole’s wearing glasses. Black, square ones that frame his eyes, and all my blood flows south. If you’d asked me two seconds ago if I had a nerd kink, the answer would have been hell no, because someone like Foster’s boyfriend, Zach, would have come to mind. But this … tall, chiseled features, and glasses? I’ve found my new weakness.
“I don’t want to date the guy.” She pouts. “I just want him to spank me, Kole.”
I decide to tease him some more because I’ve finally found something that makes Kole Hogan uncomfortable. Me flirting with him. Hello, future ammunition.
And they’re all in suits. Hot men in suits are my weakness. Wait, hot men in general are my weakness.
same
It’s probably a good thing smiling for him is rare because damn, he’s possibly the most attractive man I’ve ever seen up close when he does.
ughhh
“Keep looking at me like that and we’ll be doing something other than studying tonight.”
“What if I promise not to fall in love with you? Then will you let me suck your dick?”
Asher fucking owns me with his kiss.
“Holy fuck. I might have found a new favorite way to study.”
But then I look at Kole’s face, and his hazel eyes look at me like I’m a better person than I really am, and for some fucked-up reason, I want to prove to him I could be the guy he thinks I am.
I am thirsty for the guy.
“Tell me to stop.”
He whines. Actually whines.
hottt
“Better make it fast, Asher. I want to see you come for me.”
I hold his stare as I lick his load from my fingers.
“Stop staring at his ass.” Katey giggles. “There isn’t a single part of me that wants to stop doing that.”
The smile that spreads across Kole’s face is breathtaking. No, not breathtaking. It’s hot. Sexy. Something not so … mushy. It makes me want to kiss it off his gorgeous face. No. Fuck.
It’s all tongues and greedy mouths devouring one another. Damn, he can kiss.
“Don’t I deserve a reward? I’ve been so good.” “Well …” “Let me show my teacher how much I appreciate his help.” “Asher …” “Please, teach?” He mouths at the bulge in my pants. “Please?”
All that anger building, the tension, that urge to go and fuck shit up, dissipates immediately.
aww
I’m starting to forget what I see in him, but there’s no doubt Kole Hogan has some weird hold over me because I’ll do anything to have his mouth on me again.
A tall, good-looking, hipster type wearing an unbuttoned flannel shirt stands there smiling down at Kole. I growl. Wait … I growl?
“You can go out with whoever you want.” As long as their name starts with A and ends in sher.
hihi
His smile is wide and so pretty. I forgive him instantly.
hihi
“Need me to kiss it better?”
hihi
“A car crash. They hit a moose and drove off the road.”
yeah
“I’m here,” he whispers. “We can talk, I can just hold you … whatever. Just let it all out.”
For the first time since my father and stepmother died, I let go of everything I’ve thought I needed to hold on to.
Being in his arms is the safest place I’ve felt in a really long time. As long as he keeps touching me, I think I’ll be okay.
I don’t have to pretend I’m not struggling. Because I am struggling.
“You make me dumb.” He does. Dumb in the best possible way. He makes me turn off from everything. He reminds me to feel and experience and live.
“And if nothing else, I want you to remember this, not because I said it, but because it’s true. You are never a waste.”
Kole’s obviously realized he can do a lot better than someone like me. Someone who he can’t have a future with. Who isn’t worth disappointing his father over.
nooo baby thats not it
“Is Mr. It’s Impossible to Fall For You Because You’re A Stupid Jock catching feelings?” I can’t stop the smile from taking over because the idea of that? My heart wants to damn explode.
I didn’t think Kole could ever look at me as more than a jock who can’t pass a basic health course—and who can give him amazing orgasms. If there’s a chance? Even if I don’t deserve it? I’m going to give it everything I have.
Prepare to be wooed, Kole Hogan. I’m bringing out the big guns.
hihi
Even though he’s the one constantly saying he doesn’t feel worthy, I have the strongest need to prove that I deserve him.
“I like you.” He looks me straight in the eyes as he says it, and my heart gives this weird jitter.
“You’re so fucking gorgeous,” he murmurs against my skin. “And you’re mine. All mine.”
“Mine …” I nod. “I’m yours.”
“Damn, I didn’t know how much I needed this.” “What?” “You. Inside me. Owning me. Fuck, Kole, you’re all I can feel. It’s
The thing is, I don’t want to disappoint him this time, because I don’t want Asher to be seen as a disappointment. He’s not.
