Kindle Notes & Highlights
I was no stranger to barbarity, but those lips on my skin paired with the mewl that left them, abandoned me with nothing but ferocity. He’s mine.
“I’ll say.” He wrapped his arms around my thigh, shoving his nose into the fabric of my slacks. “You would’ve come for me, right? If I left?” “With guns blazing, baby.”
“You are mine.” His voice was thick, dripping in certainty. “My baby. If you need something, I’ll provide it. If you’re sick, I’ll fix it. Your smiles, your laughs, your freckles, and those godforsaken tears all belong to me.”
“You’ve always been mine, sweet pea. I’m sorry it took me so long to find you. I’ll protect you now.”
“Are you obsessed with me?” It was meant to tease him—ease some of the heavy tension before I came in my pants beneath him. He cocked his head, eyes burrowing into me. “Yes.” He rasped. “I am dangerously obsessed with you.”
“Monogamously.” He spat the word. “You understand that, right? I will not share my baby.” “I don’t want to be shared, Benji. That’s not my thing.”
“I love you, Daddy.” I mumbled. “I know, baby. I love you too.” I smiled.
“Well, I’m not just going to interrupt your day because I miss you. That’s ridiculous.” “Is it?” I cupped his ass, tugging him a little closer. “Wouldn’t you like to sit on Daddy’s lap while he works? I’ll unbutton my shirt and you can suckle while I make us lots of money.”
“I wish I could give you the things you give me.” “I don’t need things, Tobias, I just need you.” I pinched his cheeks and forced his head up. “You are the literal air in my lungs, and there isn’t a fucking thing I won’t do to keep you. Understand?”
“Our hearts beat the same, baby, because they belong together now. The moment yours stops beating, mine will too.”
“I’ll always be in sync with you, Toby. If you need to breathe slowly, I’ll count your breaths. If your pace quickens, I’ll race to catch up. Wherever your heart is, mine is beside it.”
“Ryan’s father used to say lack of compassion was what made men into monsters. You are my compassion, Toby. My love. My soft side.”
“Any shred of good in me will always remain because of you.”
