Kindle Notes & Highlights
For all the women just waiting to be rescued by a shirtless mountain man. Here, have three instead.
“You know that to love is both to swim and to drown. You know that to love is to be whole, partial, a joint, a fracture, a heart, a bone. It is to bleed and heal. It is to be in the world, honest. It is to place someone next to your beating heart, in the absolute darkness of your inner, and trust they will hold you close.” - Caleb Azumah Nelson
She stares up at me with big, blue eyes that sucker punch me right in the damn chest. I don’t usually like children—too loud and demanding—but there’s something about this tiny speck of sass and fire that I find endearing. “I missed you, giant.” I blink, taken aback. “Me?” A smile blooms across her pink lips. “Where have you been?” “Hiding, obviously.” “You’re too big and fat to hide from me!”
I don’t know this woman, but I still want to claim her as my own.
she thinks it’s okay to be in pain, we’re gonna have a serious problem.
To my shock, he stretches out to lie down in the grass next to me. Arianna wastes no time adorning him with his own tiny
daisy crown. Killian grumbles a complaint but doesn’t stop her from dressing him in flowers. “Now we match,” I whisper to him. “If anyone sees me in this shit, my reputation is ruined.” “You’re the one that laid down. Suck it up.”
“I thought I had to protect Briar Valley from you,” Killian murmurs, wetting his bottom lip with his tongue. “But I forgot to protect myself.”
“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.” “Zach,” I gasp, embarrassed. “What?” he counters. “Don’t deny it. I can see your legs pressing together. Does it hurt, beautiful girl? Is your cunt soaking wet and begging for me to touch it?”
I won’t lay a finger on you without your consent.”
“I’m fucking angry because I care about you, alright? Because I actually like you. A lot. And I don’t want to see you in pain anymore, but I can’t seem to protect you from it.”
Let me hold you. When you wake up screaming, I’ll be there. I’ll fight your demons for as long as you need me to.” “Do you promise?” Willow whimpers. “I swear on my fucking life. No one will ever hurt you again.”
I can’t run. Can’t hide. Can’t stop this fearless warrior from pushing me over the edge. And I don’t want to.
I need him to fuck me to death and leave no space for the demons of my past.
“You’re here,” I say sleepily. He tosses another log on the fire. “I didn’t want to paint.” “Why not?” “Because Arianna needed me, and I wanted to be with you. That’s more
important to me than some stupid paint pallets.”
“You’re human,” he whispers. “Being
human doesn’t make sense.” “What do you mean?”
“We mourn things that don’t exist and chase dreams that will never materialise. We cry when we’re happy and laugh when we’re sad. Our whole existence is im...

“You’re going to let my twin fuck your mouth while I eat you out from behind, gorgeous girl. I want you to come all over my face.”
All I can feel is her lips sucking me off, while the scent of her arousal perfuses the air. I’m enthralled. Addicted. Utterly and powerlessly in love.
“I see a mama bear determined to protect her baby, and the strongest woman I’ve ever met.”
“Broken wings can still fly.
“Head over fucking heels, babe. 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.”
“You want me to prove it? I’ll fuck your tight little cunt until you scream so loud, all of Briar Valley will hear.”
All that matters is the feel of him dominating every last dark corner of my mind and driving the demons out.
“I need you to fuck me, right now.”
He turns me around and shoves my back into the wall with a low growl, yanking my legs up to wrap around his waist.
“I want to watch you fall apart for me, babe.”
I did that. Me. There’s a strong, powerful man beneath me, but right now, he only lives to service my every whim.
Zach begins to chokes me harder.
“You greedy little slut.” Fuck, I never thought being called his little slut would be a turn on. Turns out, I’d happily toss away my pride and be whatever the hell he wants me to be.
The risk of
getting caught makes this even hotter.
I watch him cuddling my little girl like she’s his own. It’s stupid how emotional the sight makes me, but I have to blink back tears. Killian looks so content, it hurts my soul. I love him. Fuck, I love them all. And that scares me to death.
I want you for who you are, and I love everything about you.”
