Kindle Notes & Highlights
“He’s very tall,” I whisper-yell to Candy. “He has dark hair.” She chirps. “I don’t know. I can’t tell if he’s cute. He’s facing away from me.”
Aarya hisses. “I’d let him bend down over my face like that and put his balls right in my mouth if he wanted to.” A loud laugh bursts from my throat, garnering the attention of several people nearby, including my neighbor. “Okay, that’s it. I’m going to finish my workout far, far away from you.”
He heaves a sigh as he enters my apartment and locks the door behind him. “Have you seen the news at all today?” “I know. It’s terrible what happened to that little boy in Newark. I don’t know how those parents are going to live with themselves after that. Hopefully they stop smoking.” The both of them blink at me like I’m an alien speaking Korean. “Oh, you mean the article where the whole world thinks we’re dating? Yeah, I saw that one.” Celeste barks out a laugh and Trenton pinches the bridge of his nose. “I love you already.”
“What can I bring to dinner?” She lifts the laundry basket and takes a few steps back. “If you want me to be flirty, then bring wine. If you want me to take off my top and dance on the table, then bring tequila. And if you want me to be happy, then bring mint chocolate chip ice cream—the green kind with big chocolate chunks in it.”
“Sorry. I’m a whore for nice arms.” He tilts his head. “You’re a what…for what?” “You know, arm porn.” I reach out and squeeze his bicep. “You have really nice arms.” “Oh.” He averts his eyes to the floor like he hasn’t heard that a thousand times over. “Thanks.”
“It’s fine. I went to therapy and dealt with it. I refuse to be one of those people with mommy and daddy issues who walk around fucking up everyone else’s lives with their own damage.”
After he finishes off the last of the BBQ pork, he leans back against the chair and sucks his fingers into his mouth one by one, licking them clean of any excess sauce. I stare with rapt attention, focusing on the way his tongue wraps around the tips of each finger, as well as the rumble of his pleased hum. Aaaaaaand my panties are soaked. I need some air.
But my eyes fixate on Trenton because he’s kneeling on the ice with his legs spread wide, performing what I can only imagine is a sexual maneuver as he humps the air. My mouth falls open. “What the hell is he doing?” Celeste cackles. “He’s a goalie, so he needs to make sure his groin is stretched for optimal mobility. He’s in a squat position for most of the game.” “Damn,”
“Celeste said you’re allowed to fight during the game. I think you should beat someone’s ass and teach them a lesson.” I slap my bicep. “Or just send him my way and I’ll show him what’s up.” He chuckles. “You’re my bodyguard now?” I lift my chin. “If I have to be. Nobody talks about my boyfriend like that.”
I may or may not have posted the video I took of him performing his goalie warmups. The corner of his mouth twitches as he watches himself hump the ice. “The song is a nice touch.” I grin. “I thought so.” Pony by Ginuwine, of course. “Leave it to the romance author to turn my stretches into a sexual thing.”
Jesus Christ. This woman is every one of my fantasies come to life. Voluptuous and sexy as hell while still leaving things to the imagination. And I have a good fucking imagination.
Cassidy: Nope. I’m a bit heavier than Sheldon. I think he was afraid of being suffocated to death. Me: I can’t think of a better way to go.
Red is officially my new favorite color. And you’re my new favorite flavor. —Neighbor Man
“You’re ruining me, Cassidy Quinn.” I smile at that. “Good.” Because you’ve already ruined me.
