Kindle Notes & Highlights
The former Duke of Blackthorn had pulled funding from Eventide Children’s Home, where I’d spent the first few years after my parent’s death. I’d had pretty poor opinions of the nobility ever since, especially the Blackthorns. I’d never told anyone in town about it, though.
He had the kind of body that made something primal light up inside me, like I was a damned alley cat who’d just spotted the hottest tom on the block.
I stared, frozen, as a very pissed-off goat slammed his head into the arse of the Duke of Blackthorn. I thought I’d never see him again. Instead, I’d just assaulted him with my goat.
I actually couldn’t argue with that. I, too, liked snacks. I’d love the ability to show up whenever they were about to be served.
“That she’d like a bow with diamonds.” Holly shot Penelope a look. “Wouldn’t we all?” Penelope grinned. I like her.
“Have you been here before?” She shook her head. Not much into nature. “But you’re a skunk.” She shrugged. And you’re descended from cave people, but I don’t see you in a cave.
She smiled, and I found that I wanted to make her smile like that every day, forever.
Not really. Penelope shrugged. Lily is a jerk because she’s got her own issues. We all do. They have nothing to do with you—you’re just her outlet. As long as she’s not going behind your back to make you look bad, you shouldn’t worry about it.
Moi? You want moi to pull a wagon? I laughed. “Okay, you can ride in it.” That’s more like it.
I pulled him down to me and parted his lips with my own, slipping my tongue between. He groaned, a low sound that sent desire shooting through me. I wanted to climb him like a tree, but I settled for pulling him back into the corner of the nook where my door sat.
Catrina gave me a thoughtful look. “You know, if you like, I can give your ex a tail. Pick any animal you want. I’m quite talented.” I laughed at the girl’s fierce expression. “I can see that. Remind me not to get on your bad side.” I shook my head. “But no, he doesn’t need a tail. He can make an ass of himself all on his own.”
You could wear my bow, but if that’s all you wore, I’m pretty sure the police would pick you up for indecent exposure.
