Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Why are you helping me? I don’t deserve it.” He took another drink. “No, you don’t,” I agreed. “But I get what it’s like. The dad shit.” I watched his eyes shift to my jaw where there was a line of twenty stitch scars from my dad; it’d been an accident bred by a drug high, but still.
Everything this guy did pissed me off. He breathed—I wanted to kill him.
“Because if anyone gets to kick your ass, it’s me. Alright? Can we just leave it at that?”
“Stay,” he whispered. I didn’t know what to make of that. “Maddox?” It was barely a whisper this time, and he wasn’t even fully lucid. I barely moved, not wanting to hear whatever he was about to say. “Thanks.” Oh, fuck him.
Maddox fucking Kane! Fuck him. Fuck him? God.
He was trailer trash in its finest form, so why the hell did I find it so hot? Why was it so exciting to be this close to him? Why was my body pressing into his, wanting to be closer, trying to feel more of him? Where did hate end and desire begin? Why were they merging? Mingling?
“Still hate you, Kane,” he shouted as he left, giving me time to process. I almost smiled as I sagged against the tree. Holy fucking shit. Did that really just happen? I touched my lips, making sure it was real. It was. That shit happened.
