Kindle Notes & Highlights
To my fellow fat babes who wish they could see themselves in the books they read. You’re hot. This is your main character moment.
“Alexandra West,”
“Lexie.”
“Can I see some sort of ID?”
“I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.”
The man is as devastating as he is intimidating, especially when he smiles.
“I wasn’t supposed to be here, but there’s been a change of plans.”
“I’ll go pack, I can be gone in thirty minutes.”
“Don’t bother, you’re...

“I’ll stay out of your way,”
“Don’t worry about that. The place is still yours to use how you want.”
“But from this moment on, you don’t answer the door. Not while I’m staying here. And my office is off limits.”
“Goodnight, Doc.”
“I’m a nurse.”
There's definitely a dose of sass in my correction, and as I turn to leave the kitchen, I swear the corners of his lips quirk in a smug smile. Rolling my eyes, I’m heading to the gu...

“Sorry, I completely forgot you’re here,”
I admit. His eyes flicker to my navy athletic leggings, matching navy sports bra, and white mesh crop jacket. The sports bra is one of my favorites with good coverage and decent support for my enormous chest, my jacket left unzipped. Despite the amount of fabric on my body right now, my outfit makes no effort to hide my extra weight—apron belly included. I look cute for the gym downstairs, but Callum is seeing me when I’m not dressed to impress. Again.
“You’ve definitely made yourse...

“Honestly, probably not. Just let me know if I’m being too loud. I don’t want to disturb your business.”
“I’d never allow you to disturb my business,”
“I thought you said you were going to brunch,”
“I did. I met up with a friend at Flora’s on West 118th Street.”
“That’s basically in Harlem.”
“I know, Ronnie lives in Harlem. It ...

“It’s a handbag. A pretty, mini, gold one. There was a purple one I almost got too, but I couldn’t justify the price. Especially since I have nothing to wear it with.”
Her attention radiates warmth and light, and I like being caught in those rays.
Lexie hops down from the stool, smoothing her pretty little dress over dangerous curves, and slips on a pair of sandals. When she steps around me to grab her purse from the counter, I’m surrounded by a delicious scent. It’s light and citrus, and smells like heaven. And, like a moth to a flame, I’m stepping closer. She smells really fucking good. Oblivious to the magnetism pulling me towards her, Lexie chirps a goodbye to me before heading out the door. My eyes don’t leave her until she’s out the front door, silently thanking whoever invented short pink sundresses.
black is domination and control. I usually wear black, it’s who I am.
The only people who can get close enough to notice already know who I am. Everyone else gets to see who I show them.
He walks closely behind me, almost too close. His tall frame towers over me, looming and crowding. Hyper aware of his proximity, I glance up at him in the elevator, my shoulder to his chest. There’s no way he means to stand so close to me, but something in his eyes when he looks down at me says he knows exactly what he’s doing. Nothing he does is by accident.
“No one is going to hurt you, you have my word.”
I accept his hand and allow him to help me out of the car. His hand releases mine to close the door behind me with a resounding click and moves to the small of my back.
Callum presses his hand to the small of my back and propels me through the doorway.
he steps beside me and grabs my wrist—his strong fingers leading me firmly. Then we’re walking.
Callum’s hand on my back pushes me into the room, the door closing behind us.
Callum is at my side in an instant, lifting me off the floor. Damn, I definitely wasn’t this tired a few seconds ago.
“You’re finished?”
Callum’s question is said deeply at my side. I look up at him, my mind racing as I look at the man I clearly don’t know at all....
