On the Edge (Full Throttle #2)

by K. Bromberg

“I’m not in the mood to be respected.”

And when I open my eyes before I collapse and roll off her, all I see is Maddix. Gorgeous. Uninhibited. Unexpected. Maddix.

Because you do and I’m not believing your bullshit this time around. There will be no yachts. No dates with friends. Because I’m here and this time I’m taking what I want.”

“Just because it’s been weeks since I last had you, it doesn’t make the want any less. I’m going to fuck you, Maddix. You’re going to take every goddamn inch of me, and I’m going to fuck you until my cock is soaked and my balls are dripping with proof of what I do to you. The only words I want on your lips are Cruz and more. Understood?” “Yes.”

How can I be turned on and want to sit down and just talk to her all at the same time?

Maddix Hart before was beautiful. Beguiling. Sexy. This Maddix, with her fuck the world attitude, is a goddamn stunning knockout.

Fucking hell. This woman. I’ve gone toe-to-toe with my father for her. I’ve tried to be a bigger person for her. I’ve even gotten jealous over her. What the fuck is happening?

“Mine,” he murmurs and then presses his lips to the skin of my shoulder while my heart stumbles over that single syllable. “Just fucking mine.”

So I’m giving you this E—if you’ll have it. It stands for Everything. As in you’re my everything. That I think about. That I want. That I need. Just you. Just this. Just us. Everything else is just outside noise we can figure out.”

“I don’t want to be your beginning, middle, and end. I want to be your bookends. The person you leave in the morning and come home to at night. The person who takes care of you but allows you to be you. I want you to fit me in your life. I want you to let me be a part of yours. I want you to let me love you.” Cruz’s hands frame my face and he bends his knees so his eyes are level with mine. “I love you, Maddix Hart. I love your quirkiness. I love that you love your family. I love your family and how they love you. I have loved watching you grow over the past few months into the woman you are today. The woman who steps up to the plate, reaches for goals, and then smashes them. And I loved how you walked away from me to force me to face my own fears.”
