Kindle Notes & Highlights
Handsome, but in a stark sort of way—like he’d push you off a lifeboat if there weren’t enough seats. Or maybe even if you forgot to brush your teeth.
It looked alright on the mannequin, but now that I’m trying it on at home, I feel like a little kid all dressed up for Easter. All I need is a straw basket over my arm.
I wonder if he watches actual humans and tries to emulate them.
“I’m hurt, Aida. You get engaged and you don’t even call to tell me?” “Why would I call you?” she says flatly. “I spent three months ignoring your messages and calls. When you’re trying to train a dog, you can’t give it a single treat, or it’ll keep barking and slobbering on you forever.”
I should wait until he’s sleeping, then slap hot wax on his balls. Give him a taste of his own medicine.
I’m going to get back at him for this, that conniving, perverted fuck. He thinks he can wax my pussy without consent? He doesn’t even know what he’s starting.
I feel sacrilegious walking into the church—like god might strike us down for this unholy union. If Aida pisses me off enough, I’m going to dunk her in the holy water and see if it sets her aflame.
“Hey!” I say. “What the fuck are you doing?” “Showering, obviously,” she says. “Some asshole pulled me into the pool.” “I’m already in here.” “Really?” she says, fixing me with an unimpressed stare. “Thank you for informing me of that fact. That’s the kind of razor-sharp observation and inside information that’s sure to secure you the Alderman seat.”
“Taking lessons in humor from you would be like asking a dog how to perform an appendectomy,” she replies.
She’s incredibly soft. I don’t know how someone with the personality of a cactus can have the softest lips, shoulders, and breasts that I’ve ever touched.
“You’re mine, Aida,” Callum growls in my ear. “I’ll kill anyone who tries to touch you.”
“I, Callum, take you, Aida, to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad. In sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life. I promise you that, Aida. I will always be there for you. I’ll never let you down.”
I love this woman. The day she set my house on fire was the luckiest day of my life.
