Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Then open those pretty eyes and watch me fuck your pussy with my fingers. Look in the mirror,”
“Look at how good you look with my hand inside you. So naughty, letting me finger fuck you in a pottery studio when anyone could walk inside, but I bet you like it, don’t you?”
“Here, I made this for you. I wanted to apologize for what I said at the party. I didn’t mean it. If someone’s making you come, it better be me, and only me, but I want you to think of me as more than a man who gets you off.”
“You want to fuck? I'll fuck you good. You want to eat? I'll take you out. You want to stay up all night talking? I'll listen to every word. I'll do whatever you want as long as I get to be yours until you get on that plane.”
I can’t get enough of this girl, and that scares the shit out of me because I have to let her go.
Love is made with little moments, and we have enough to build a castle.
“I didn’t fall in love with Rhode Tremblay, Nashville’s Naughtiest Bachelor. I fell in love with the man who makes me cross-stitches, and always makes sure I have an aisle seat. The man who drives forty-five minutes to buy decaf beans from my favorite roaster. The man I spend more time staring at on a screen than I do in person because he’s gone so much,” I mutter, sipping my beer. “I hate being in love with a professional athlete. I never see him.”
The only person who doesn’t need anything from me is Nina, and that has me tempted to give her everything.
“Goodbye, Rhode,” she whispers against my lips. “In another life, I think you would’ve been my forever.”
His gaze dips to the hem of my dress and climbs up the curves of my silhouette like ivy.
“There are other people here?” he asks, gaze searing mine. “All I see is you.”
There’s a peacefulness in him that the chaos in my soul craves. Maybe it’s because he’s a little older, a little wiser, and I hope that whoever created his soul also made mine.
Rhode’s voice sounds distant like he's calling from the end of a tunnel. “I’d stay forever for you.”
Nina grins. That smile hits me in my soul, waking me up and knocking me out all at once. It happens then, in this quiet moment that should be insignificant over the span of my life, but it’s not. It’s a big moment. A really big moment. I think I might love her.
I want to sparkle, but no one sees me. I’m like… a glimmer. You have to look hard to find me.” “I found you, and now, you’re the only thing I see.”
“I bet it’d feel even better if I were filling you up. You could have my cock and your little toy. You know what? We’ll play with that next time because I don’t care how you come as long as you’re thinking of me when you do.”
I undo the buttons on my shirt, revealing the four-leaf clover that matches the one on
her neck—the one that’s now etched into the skin right over my heart. Her eyes pop when she sees my new ink.

“Because the day I met you was the luckiest day of my life.”
“Don’t lie and say this means nothing when you mean everything to me.”
Rhode’s the only thing anchoring me to this world.
“I need you. Now. Please. I’ll be careful.” “You don’t have to beg for me. I’ll give you whatever you want.”
“How does my cock feel inside you. Does it feel like nothing? Does this...” He thrusts up hard. “Feel like nothing to you?”
“I need you to answer me because I’m telling you right now, I’ll never get enough of you.” He loosens his hold. “Now, look at me and say it.” Panting, I meet his eyes. “This isn’t nothing.”
“This is everything. You’re everything to me because you somehow became my best friend, and I don’t want to say goodbye to you.”
“You’re so fucking perfect for me, Nina. You’re everything I didn’t know I needed, and I wish I would’ve met you sooner.” “You have me now.” “I don’t want to let you go.”
Snatching my bag, I leave the locker room behind, my heart set on one destination—wherever Nina is, my home.
I love her so damn much. I don’t know how it happened, or when it happened, or why it happened, but I’m just glad it happened—that we happened—and great, now I’m repeating myself, and all my whiskey-soaked brain can think about is how much I love her.
“I love your ears, and your face, and your laugh, and your brain, and your smile, and you. I love everything you.”
“I said, I love you, and I want to keep you forever. Shit, that sounds bad, but you know what I mean.”
Sorry to leave you, beautiful girl. I would’ve rather stayed in your arms, but I have a press conference at the arena later today. It’s at five and I want you there. It’s important to me. I’ve got news. Good news (:
“This was my choice, and I didn’t want you to feel the pressure. I didn’t give up my dream. I just found a new one. You.”
“I guess you’re not icebound anymore. You’re free.”
“Thanks for giving me a life outside of hockey. I had no idea my entire life would change when I got into your car. If I’d known you were waiting for me, I would’ve left that bar a hell of a lot sooner.” She peppers my face with kisses. “Why’s that?” “Because then I could’ve had one more moment with you, since I don’t know if forever is going to be enough.”
