Cruel Summer (Seasons of Revenge, #2)

by Morgan Elizabeth

Damien Martinez was put on this Earth to take care of Abigail Keller, and you can’t convince me otherwise.

I don’t know for sure when I decided I was going to try and make this woman mine, but if it wasn’t that first night, drunk off her ass and completely and totally unimpressed with me, it’s right now. She’s put together, utterly in charge, and fucking beautiful.

The best revenge, Cami, is letting them see you thrive when they wanted to watch you fail spectacularly.

But if you keep calling me dimples, I’m turning you over my knee and spanking your ass.

Maybe the key to finding a good man is getting an older one—fuck these young guys who barely remember to wash their sheets.

If I had a star for every time I thought of you, I’d have a whole galaxy.

“I’m going to request a FaceTime.” “A FaceTime?” “You’re going to watch us, Cami, and I’m going to watch you.”

“Email. Now. Open the attachment, Camile.” Camile. When did my name get so fucking sexy?

Are you a camera? Nope. Because every time I look at you, I smile. Aww, that’s cute. I like that one. Finally.

“Why are you so chipper?” she asks, caution in her words. “Oh, you know. The sun’s shining, we have a new client to interview today, and your dad ate me out before I got to work.”

“Why do I just know your dimples are out?” “Because they never go away when I’m talking to you, Camile.” “God, I think that was my favorite one yet,” she says, her voice wistful. “Favorite what?” “Dad joke. That was my favorite one.” I don’t have it in me to tell her it wasn’t a joke. Not in the least.

He wraps me in his arms and I lose it, crying over ice cream and tampons and pillowcases, but it’s not that. It is, but it isn’t. This. This is what Abbie has. This is what Kat is always chasing. A partner. Someone in your corner who wants to take care of you.

Morning, angel. Morning, Daddy. I thought we agreed you’d stop with the Daddy?

Honestly disappointed the daddy kink was teased and the trigger wasn’t pulled

Even in zero gravity, I would still fall for you.

Is summer over? Because I’m ready to fall for you.

“Oh god, is it sexual?” Her face goes a bit green. “Look, I can handle you two being together because I think you’re perfect for each other, but I can not handle you two being loud about your sex life. Fuck no.”

“Because you’re everything I thought didn’t exist in the world.” “I’m right here, Cami. I’m real, just like we are, and I’m yours.”

What, no joke today? I already had my coffee at home. You were so pretty this morning, I forgot my pickup line.
