Kindle Notes & Highlights
“No, Celeste,” I tell her, my heart racing. “You look fucking breathtaking tonight.”
“Because I missed you, my beautiful Celestial. I missed that soft huff that escapes your lips when I annoy you, the way your
eyes flash when I outdo you, the way you challenge me to do better.”
“I’ll remember those words fondly the next time I’m pushing
my cock deep into you, Celeste. When I’ve got you on the brink of an orgasm, my name on your lips, I’ll make you eat those words before I make you beg for more. And you will. You’ll beg, just like you did that night.”
She glares at me, but that hatred I see in her eyes—it’s laced with pure, unadulterated desire. She’s right to say we’re playing a game, the way we always have. What my beautiful Celestial hasn’t quite...
This highlight has been truncated due to consecutive passage length restrictions.
I hate the man, but he knows how to put that body of his to use.
I’ve waited years for a shot with her—I won’t wait another second, won’t let my own dumb behavior come between us the way it used to.
“Wasn’t that obvious? You were my first, and you ruined me for everyone else.”
Fuck, I want my name on your lips while I make you come harder and faster than I did on prom night.
she’s in my fucking veins, infecting my heart.
I didn’t realize it until she left, but she’s always been my anchor.
“You took my first kiss and my first time, and now you’re my first girlfriend. How many more firsts will you take? I’ll give them all to you if you want them.”
“I love your fingers, Boyfriend dearest, but I want your cock. Fuck me, Zane.”
“This cock
is only for good girls,
“Who do you belong to?”
“You,”
“I’m yours,”
“Only yours.”
“I hope you enjoy sitting back down next to him, your pussy filled to the brim,”
“I can’t tell what’s real
anymore, because when I’m with you, it feels like all my dreams have come true.”
“I’ve always loved the way you beg,”
I don’t want to make you my wife, but I’ll enjoy every second of it. I’ll make you regret the day you crossed me. Every day of torment you caused me, I’ll return a thousand times over.”
“It’s always you, crazy girl,” I whisper. “It’s always been you.”
“For someone who claims to hate me, you sure do love my cock.”
“You’re mine. My wife.”
I told myself I’d keep my distance, that I wouldn’t let her provoke me, so how the fuck did I find myself buried deep inside her all over again?
She fucking torments me, every single second of every fucking day.
“You’re mine, Zane. For the next three years, you’re mine.”
“I’ll never want anyone but you, Celeste. I never have.”
“I regret ever falling for you and thinking my love for you would be enough, that we could get through anything together. I regret believing in us the way I did and risking it all for you.”
“You know what I regret the most? I regret asking you to dance with me at that gala. I should’ve let you go, should’ve moved on from my childish crush on you and heeded my grandmother’s warnings. Hell, if I could go back in time, I would’ve left you alone on prom night and wouldn’t have consoled you. I wish I never kissed you, never brought you to a place I’d only ever wanted to share with my wife. All of my regrets have one thing in common, Celeste: you.”
That’s the thing with Sierra—once she lets someone into her heart, it’s forever. I suppose we have that in common.
“Do you have any idea what it’s like to look into the eyes of the woman you love more than anything, and realize she never loved you the same? No matter what happened, I could never do to her what she did to me. I’d have walked away and ended things. I never would’ve hurt her like that—and that’s why it can’t ever work between us. She doesn’t have any faith in me, in us, and I don’t trust her. Even if she fell back in love with me, I’d never be able to trust that her feelings are real, that she wouldn’t destroy us the next time someone accuses me of something. Each time she smiles at me, I

Fuck, this version of my wife will have me on my knees, begging for more.
“Sometimes I forget how perfect we were together,”
“You always made everything you touched better, and I let myself forget it. It was easier to hold on to the hate, but I’m not sure I want to anymore. Do you?”
“What if we just stop fighting?”
“What if we just let ourselves feel everything we claim not to?”
“What do you want, baby?” “You,”
“You have me,”
“You’ll always have a part of me, Celeste, whether I like it or not.”
There’s no resisting him when he knows my body better than anyone else.
“I’m not the kind of man that’d deny his wife anything.”
I can’t see a future with her, not with the way my family feels about her and the way we can’t trust each other, but fuck, I love her. I just wish that was enough, that the rest didn’t matter.
“You owe me something, don’t you, Goddess?”
I love the way his breathing accelerates, the way he hardened in the few seconds it took him to take in my body. I love the way he still wants me.
“You’re so fucking beautiful right now. You have no idea what you look like, do you? Fucking ethereal. You’re my every dream come true, Celestial.”
