Kindle Notes & Highlights
She’s in her element now, confidence radiating from head to toe—from her wide smile to her self-assured posture to the notable pep in her step.
She’s a fucking vision, isn’t she?
“Well, I’m sure you killed it. You’re gonna top your girl Kaia, no doubt.” “I’d definitely fucking like to,” I say, grinning at the innuendo that’s slipped right over poor Rai Rai’s head. “That’s one thing I know for sure.”
For some reason, I’m rattled by the thought of her hooking up with one of my teammates. It’s not because I want her for myself—to date her or anything like that—but it’s just the principle of the matter.
Kaia Karras is mine to fuck with.
“Look, if you’re pissed at me, then just tell me. Fight with me. Yell at me. But don’t shut me out. I don’t like seeing you everywhere, knowing that you’re just gonna look the other way.”
“You still think I don’t like you?” I lean back, running a frustrated hand through my hair. “Kaia, I fucking adore you.”
“If you’re struggling, I wanna be the guy you call for help. The one who can make you forget about everything else and just . . . be in the moment.”
“So, what you’re saying is that you want to be my last resort?” A smirk tilts my lips. “As long as I’m your something.”
“No,” he denies me again, and I feel a surge of frustration mixed with excitement. “I’m gonna make you come. At least three times in a row, and then you’re gonna go right to sleep like a good fucking girl.”
“If it wasn’t obvious by now—I kinda give a shit about you, Karras.” I tense up in his arms. “Ah, I see.” “And I think you give a shit about me, too.” “Yeah,” I quietly, hesitantly agree. “Yeah, maybe I do.”
The truth is, I want this girl for a million other reasons than what she can do for me in the bedroom.
I want security. Trust. To be the one person she comes to when she’s in need. But for the first time in weeks, I’m not so sure the two of us are on the same page.
