Kindle Notes & Highlights
Knox would like me to inform you that he has done absolutely nothing wrong, he’s the innocent party, anything said or done against him is pure conjecture, and he’ll plead the fifth if necessary.
“No, sunshine. Knowing you’re chained to me is the sweetest joy I know.”
“Jerry,” Knox calls cheerfully. “Did Aurora here ever mention that we’re married?”
Ctfu he’s an ass 😂😂
“Financial… well, we both know you still benefit from me in that regard.”
🤔🤔
“There it is,” he breathes. He traces the scar that goes straight down my chest. “My financial contribution. The gift that keeps on giving, isn’t that right?”
“Miles kept it together for a year while you fucked around with Willow. The least you can do is keep your shit together for a few games. She’ll get bored and stop coming.”
Completely forgot about that
“No, we’re going to talk about this. You don’t tape your stick like that, Knox. I know you. But you know who does tape their stick like this?” “Aurora, drop it—” “I do.” I push into the locker room right after him. “Did. Whatever.”
“Fun mess you’ve gotten yourself into, don’t you think? Married to one, engaged to the other.” He chuckles.
Dumb ass🤦🏽♀️
“You can play vicariously through me, Sunny. Every time I’m on the ice, I’m skating for you.”
That’s gotta be why he tapes his hockey stick like her !
I married her, I get to keep her. I called dibs. That’s basically what marriage is, after all.
I don’t want to kiss her, but I’m pretty sure I’ll stop breathing if I’m not inhaling her scent. If I’m not tasting her.
Until I find the bottle of laxatives Beth gave me as a joke a few weeks ago.
Ctfu she better fucking not 😭
I’m not sure how I’m going to live down nearly shitting my pants.
“My asshole burns,” I complain.
“Not so lucky when even the sun reminds me of you,” he replies under his breath.
“I’ll save you and condemn you,” he replies. His tongue flicks out, licking the sensitive spot just behind my earlobe. “I promise you that, sunshine. You’re going to know true darkness when I’m done with you. But you’ll be safe from all the demons in the world. Except me.”
There’s a tracker in her tooth. Our local dentist back home required a little persuasion, and a lot of money, but in the end he did it. So while she was home, and then later at hotels and coffee shops and the library, I watched her movements on my phone. Obsessed doesn’t cover it. I feel sick, inside and out.
He puts something over my ears. Headphones? They’re thick, and there’s a band across the top of my head, and after a second, everything goes silent. I can’t hear anything—not even Knox.
That’s ….. interesting 😏😏
“Well? How was your dessert?” I ask. She sniffs and picks herself up. “I expected it to be a bit dusty, since you spend so much time on the bench. But it wasn’t bad.” My jaw drops. She smiles sweetly. This fucking girl.
All that, and I didn’t get to finish my bacon.
Fucking Knox 🙄
“I know you hate hospitals,” he whispers. Yeah. “So just this once, we can call a truce.” Just this once.
“Marry me.”
So this is why they’re married 🥺
“If we’re married, you can get on my family’s plan. I already checked. And my parents have the top-of-the-line shit, like the best that money can buy. Because—well, I guess because they have money, right? I’m sorry if that’s insensitive—”
“I would do anything for you,” he manages. “And this is just the tip of the iceberg, Sunny. You and I could be endgame, but—”
Not when I want to stay married. I do want to stay married, right? But like… not just to torture her. Because I think I might actually be falling for her. Again.
“Violet and Greyson are married. Violet’s a ballerina with the Boston Ballet Company, and Greyson plays for Boston.
Love them🥹
“Then there’s Aspen and Steele. Aspen’s mom married Steele’s dad, so their family is a bit jumbled. Kind of funny, if you think about it…”
“Mine wanted me dead.”
Melody just calmy dropping that on her Ctfu
She’s so fucking tight—and then there’s resistance. She keeps going, lowering herself and exhaling hard, and then something gives way. She slides down the rest of the way, her inner thighs resting against my hips, and meets my gaze.
She’s been a virgin this whole damn time. It’s sad that that’s what it took to prove it
“Guess you didn’t count on your wife being a virgin,”
Her mouth isn’t the same as a pussy—and now that I’m in her, I’ll never fuck anyone else. Ever again.
I look down at where we’re barely joined. And all I can think is that I could’ve had this years ago. My control snaps.
This is why communication is a necessary
Because I waited. I waited for him.
That’s so sad 🥺 he’s spent all this time hating her and she was waiting for him
“You know what this means?” he asks. I shake my head, suddenly jelly-limbed and exhausted. “You can’t ever escape me now.” He kisses me again.
“For so long, it felt like I was waiting for you to come back,”
“But then you didn’t, and you said you never wanted to see me again. Which I could’ve accepted, but you wouldn’t sign the divorce papers.”
I lick my lips and crawl up her body, kissing along her stomach, biting her breast over her shirt.
Luke Abernathy has to go.
Now they’re just a group of killers 😂
“We’re spies!” What is with these people? “We are not spies,” Aurora says firmly. “We are not on a mission. We’re not doing anything with betting fraud, hypothetical or not. Okay?”
Knox really 😂😂
And Camden Church. Single, as far as I know.
Hmmm 🤔 will Camden get a book too
“Did I say you could stop touching yourself?” I demand.
The orgasms seem to have lessened her anger. At least, I think so until she bites me again. On the shoulder, hard enough to draw blood. Ow. I look down at it, at the way she broke skin. But it doesn’t dull my appetite for her. Really, it just cements that we’re soul mates.
The pain is almost worse than getting punched in the face. It’s localized to that one spot, and I groan loudly as the crown comes loose. I examine it, confirming that it’s a tracker, and wrap it in toilet paper. I drop it into the trash.
Yeah you’re a dumb ass
Okay, yeah. Shot time. I pull the gauze from my mouth and toss back the alcohol. It burns going down.
Again … YOURE A DUMBASS !! Should not trust shit from him tf
I demand, fighting Camden Church’s grip on my upper arm. “Knox is going to kill you for this.”
Fucking knew it !!
“He’ll understand when you both realize Luke is on his way to Joel’s apartment,” Camden snaps. “Stop fighting me. I’m trying to help you.”
Nope ion believe this mf ain’t no way
“Could you sign this?”
Idk I don’t even trust her rn
“Your husband upped the security at your building. It was to make it more difficult for someone to get up to your floor.” “How do you know that?” He rolls his eyes. “Knox mentioned it during practice.”
Why do I feel like he didn’t
I press the buttons for Joel’s floor and the lobby. It stops at his floor first. And waiting for me is a bloody-knuckled Luke Abernathy. Not some hired dickbag.
Yeah you’re a dumb ass bro
“Why do they always put themselves in harm’s way?” Miles mutters. “Running into danger without any plan.” Referring to Aurora. And probably every other damn girl in our group. This feels like an initiation of sorts.
Cause they’re all fucking dumb 🙄
