Kindle Notes & Highlights
Who knew the most annoying man alive could make me feel safe?
“I’ll put on some coffee. How do you like it?” Darlin’, you’re fucking it.
How the fuck does it happen? How is it that a man only needs five damn minutes to go from she’s pretty cute and feisty to falling head over heels?
“Nothing’s gonna happen to you, woman. I promise on my life.”
God, she overloads me with so much feeling, this pint-sized dynamo of raw energy.
Even now, it’s like my body is hardwired to protect her. To guard her at all costs. To shelter Delilah Clarendon, including her poor beat-up heart. Hell, especially her heart. God help me, I will, for as long as she’ll let me.
Lucas Graves makes me feel at ease even in the total chaos.
“Did I ever tell you why my hair’s so long? It’s this silly little thing...” “Tell me the little things. I’m greedy as hell when it comes to you.”
“You think you have to threaten me? Anything you want, it’s done.”
“You... you think I’m going to fall in love with you that easy? C’mon.” “Not easy, no. Nothing worth having is ever easy.” His lips trace back and forth over my palm, ticklish and sweet. “So don’t be easy on me, Miss Lilah. Make it fucking hard. You’re worth a heaping lot of hell and then some.”
“Missed you, jerk,”
“We’re too much alike, Lilah, and I like it that way. Means nothing will ever get boring.”
“Delilah?” Lucas whispers. “Mmph?” I murmur, stirring against him to stay awake. “Fuck, I’m just gonna say it. I love you,” he rumbles, his voice heavy with such heartfelt emotion.
“You do? Brave man,” I whisper back, tilting my head up to find his lips for a kiss. “I guess it’s a good thing I love you back.”
Life without my Lilah would be empty.
He loves me. And I flipping love Lucas Graves. Enough to trust him with my heart, my soul, and my future. I could never be happier than I will be as his wife. He’s such a big, gorgeous, adorably annoying asshole. More importantly, he’s a gentle, thoughtful, wonderful man with a heart bigger than the sky.
With the fireflies as my witness, I swear we’ll never be lonely again.
