Kindle Notes & Highlights
I wanted to do more than lick her. I wanted to eat her whole. I wanted to devour her.
Tangling with Lily was the highlight of my life, and I was already addicted. It was too late for me.
“Crawl to me, Freckles.”
When Cayden’s eyes landed on me, I felt seen. For the first time, I wasn’t the background but the focus.
“I’ve never done this before.”
I didn’t have to be experienced to tell that he was bigger than average. Cocky by name and nature, it seemed.
Neither of us had a clue what we were doing. There was nothing shiny, or practiced, or pretty about it, but it was honest.
“You’re perfect. My perfect girl.”
We were just two scared souls tossed around in a world that seemed determined to crush them.
We kept getting pulled together. I was stuck in his orbit, a small, pale moon to his blazing sun.
When she smiled at me, I was invincible. Salvageable.
No one had ever looked at me like Cayden West did, and I suspected that no one else ever would. Just him.
If she found a smile for me, I was pretty sure nothing would ever hurt again.
She might be an angel to me, a sudden gift of grace that I’d never even imagined, but to her, I was a curse.
You and I were destined to be more than strangers. We were always going to be more. We were born to collide.”
Lily is the sum total of my desires and dreams, all in one devastatingly smart and beautiful package.
The whole truth was that going to HHU, going pro and all the riches and celebrity that came with it, had lost its shine now that Lily wouldn’t be there. It felt like she was leaving me behind, and suddenly, nothing else seemed to matter.
We didn’t have to give up our dreams to be together. We were going to achieve every single one together.
