Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I had no idea who Joze was until last night. Bible.” He holds up both hands, as if his word is worth shit to me.
Ew i hate that
“Well, you’re my boys,” Kendrick reasons, nodding at me. “All of you. We’re a family. And family protects their own. Let’s go get our girl.”
“Haven’t you ever heard the phrase ‘put your own oxygen mask on first’?” Brow furrowed, he assesses me. “Those instructions are for people traveling on aircraft with children, Jo.” “Fair point. If I call you Daddy, will you go upstairs and sleep?” I tease.
“I’m just making sure you know where I stand, baby. It’s me and you. Plus him. And maybe them.”
“Sleep,” he mutters, deep and growly, but also a little whiny. Sleep, I will not. Not until the man who hates my guts explains why he’s in my bed. I have a boyfriend. Two, in fact!
“Sorry, Hot Girl,” Locke mumbles, placing a soft kiss on my shoulder. “Your boyfriend’s worried my dick’s too big for you to handle.” Tipping my head back to look up at Kylian, I lick my lips. “Trust me, Daddy. It’ll fit.” “Daddy?” Locke gibes. “You’re a philosophy major, Nicky. Don’t tell me you’re not familiar with the teachings of Pascal. Daddy is a state of mind.”
I needed to be the new me for just a bit longer before I brought the past I can’t escape into my present.
“Goddamn, this mouth.” He catches my chin with two fingers, tipping it up with the gentlest touch. “I’m gonna fuck the sass right out of it and teach you some southern manners one day soon.” He bows his head, his words heavy and guttural. “You’re gonna suck down every drop I give you and say ‘thank you, Kendrick, can I have some more please?’ when I’m done.”
“Not yet. I want to hold you just a little longer. This is happiness, Josephine. This is what it’s all for. I want to remember this moment with you in my arms for as long as I live.”
