Kindle Notes & Highlights
I don’t know this woman, but I still want to claim her as my own.
“Let us keep you safe. We ain’t worth much out there in the real world, but we can throw a mean punch. Whatever’s chasing you won’t find you here. We won’t allow it.”
“You belong to the valley now. We protect what’s ours. Better get used to this possessive fucker following you around with his gun from now on.”
She looks like a fallen angel, all broken dreams and pain, wrapped into a shell of bittersweet beauty.
I want more. I need more. She’s bringing me back to life.
“Perhaps you want me to trace every single inch of your body with my tongue, or for me to taste how wet your pussy is in this moment.”
“You’re safe with me. I would never hurt you or Arianna. Fuck, Willow. All I want is to make you both happy. Whatever this is… you can tell me, and it won’t change anything.”
“I’ve spent every day watching you since I pulled you from that ravine. You’re the first person I think of in the morning, and the last thing on my mind every night.”
I’m on my literal knees for the one woman in the world that I’d be vulnerable for.
“I’ve kept my hands to myself, but don’t expect me to be a gentleman if you’re gonna be all cute and shit while naked in my bed.”
“I’m saying that we want to be with you. All of us. I know it’s unconventional, but this is Briar Valley. We don’t do normal here. It’s fucking overrated.”
“You’re wrong. I’m broken.” “Broken wings can still fly. You are living proof of that.”
“I’ve got you, and I’m never letting go. None of us are. We’re here to catch you if you fall and help you get back up again. That’s what family is for.”
I don’t give a shit about whether I have to share you. All I want is the privilege of owning a piece of your heart.”
When his mouth imprisons mine, I know fighting is futile. I can run from them until I have no strength left in my body, but it won’t prevent the inevitable recapture of my heart. It doesn’t belong to me anymore.
I’ll fuck your tight little cunt until you scream so loud, all of Briar Valley will hear.”
“Louder, babe. I want to hear how much you love it when I worship this beautiful body of yours.”
“No more hiding. Your ours, Willow. Fucking ours. You have nothing to hide from any of us. Say it.”
Clearly, my time in the wilderness has made me as uncivilised as the guys. I couldn't care less about how insane we are. I’ve got the family I always wanted right here.
“Because I love you, alright?” She loses her patience. “All three of you. I’d do anything to keep you safe, even if it means tearing myself apart every time I lie and pretend like I don’t love you all to death.”
“You’ve belonged to us since the moment we met.” He licks his lips. “You don’t need to lie to us anymore. Let us help. Let us keep you safe. You’re our family.”
It’s her trust in us that’s the biggest turn on. Her willingness to be vulnerable and offer a part of herself that others have abused.
Willow’s different. She’s it for me. The beginning and the end. I live and die with every breath swirling in her lungs. My life starts right here with her and the gift she’s given us. I’ll sacrifice everything to protect the family we’ve forged against all odds.
I love him. Fuck, I love them all. And that scares me to death.
While the other two demand physical possession of my heart, Micah’s content to sneak into the darkest corners of my mind and set up shop in the shadows. I’ll take it. Whatever he needs of me.
Willow is pretty much the only good thing in my life right now. She’s the welcome relief of rainfall after years of scorching drought.
“Since you arrived here… fuck, Willow. Everything has changed for me. You make me so happy, and I’d forgotten what that feels like. Until you.”
“I’ve never felt about anyone the way I feel about you. When we’re together, I feel… well, happy. Whole. Alive.”
I love you, Willow. That scares the shit out of me to admit, but it’s the truth. I’m in love with every single part of you.”
I need our family more than I need air in my lungs to breathe, and the way they’ve accepted me and Arianna into their lives gives me hope.
Willow. The town isn’t the centre of my world anymore… she is.
Willow is my whole fucking world. I don’t give a shit what it takes, I have to keep her by my side for the rest of our lives. This life means nothing to me if she’s not in it.
We have a plan. A future. A fucking reason to be together again. I have my family back, and it’s because of Willow. She brought them back to me. That woman changed everything.
