Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I’ve owned you since you were fourteen,” he whispers, his voice dark. Stirring up all the dark things buried deep inside of me. “You’ve been in my head ever since that night, you know. Haunting me. No one else could ever measure up.”
“It’s true. I saw it in you that night. Your soul matched mine,”
“Sometimes I would think you weren’t real. You couldn’t be that perfect,” he says as he slowly starts to move, pulling himself almost completely out of my body before pushing back in. “But you are real. It’s as if you were made for me.” I feel the same way about him. As if he were made for only me.
“Anal. You’re my first. The only girl I’ve ever wanted to be with like that.” He tightens his arms around me. “I didn’t want to fuck it up.”
I’m completely defenseless. Weak to him and his wants. His needs. He knows it. He has complete command of me. Body and soul. And it is a terrifying position to find myself in.
She gets under my skin. Burrows herself in there until I’m consumed with her, and I can’t shove her out.
She’s a drug and I’m hopelessly addicted.
“What Summer and I have, there’s no definition.”
“It was easier to just—take it.” She rubs my back. “It’s a cruel world, darling. Men use us. I hope that doesn’t happen to you ever again.”
I miss that mouth and those hands. I even miss the dark, disturbing things he would say to me. No one made me feel like Whit Lancaster. No one.
“I own this. It’s always been mine,” he says arrogantly. “Since we were fourteen, Savage. Remember that night?”
He’s looking at me as if there’s no other woman in the world for him. Just me. Only me.
I originally wanted to punish her for what her mother did to my family, and instead I did the fucking craziest thing. I went and fell in love with her.
Summer drove me out of my mind with lust, but she also…softened me. Made me smile. Made me happy, damn it. An emotion I didn’t believe I was capable of feeling. Only she did that for me. And I haven’t felt that way since she walked out of my life. Not once.
“If you were with me, I’d make sure you’d eat,” I tell her, skimming my fingers back and forth across her stomach, my finger dipping into her navel. “I’d feed you breakfast in bed. All the fresh croissants and butter you could ever want.” “I’d be fat.” “Fat and beautiful.” I lean my face in closer to hers, our lips almost touching. “I would do whatever you wanted as long as it pleased you.”
She can pretend all she wants, but we were made for this. Made for each other.
We’ve barely started and I can’t get enough of her. Will I ever?
“I’ve missed you,” he admits. “I’ve missed everything about you.”
“I’m going to fuck you all night.” He reaches between my legs, fingers delving beneath my panties and finding nothing but wet flesh. “Fuck you raw. Fuck you until you beg me to stop.”
“Never. I wanted to see you. All of you. Just for me. I wanted you to tease me without saying a word or sending me a look. That dress is a work of art, but it is nothing compared to you. Your body is perfection.”
“I’ve finally found you, Savage. And I’m not going to let you go.”
“I told you I’d fuck that pretty little pussy raw.”
“Go back to sleep my sweet little whore,” he croons in my ear, his fingers drifting across my cheek. “Get some rest. You’ll need it.”
“Good morning, beautiful.”
“You want the truth? I’m obsessed with you,” he whispers, his voice hoarse, his gaze…pleading. “At first, I hated you, and what you represented. Then I was drawn to you, despite it all. Eventually, I had to have you, and once I did, I couldn’t get enough.”
“Do you know how strong you are? How fucking beautiful you are? You walked around campus like you owned the fucking place, despite me trying to destroy your reputation every chance I could get. I admired your strength. I respected it too,” he admits.
“We will always work, Summer. Look at me.” I meet his gaze, noting the intensity in his light blue eyes. “We were made for each other.”
“As my equal. As my partner. Perhaps…eventually….as my wife.”
“Let’s find secret spots in the city where I can fuck you. We’ll leave our mark everywhere.”
“I’m here. I want to be in your life. I don’t care what you did in your past, or what happened between you and your stepbrother.”
“It makes sense, Summer. Come home with me. Live with me in New York. You can study art history there. You can do whatever you want. You won’t have to work. You can sit on your knees all day and suck my cock continuously. I won’t complain.”
“There’s no one else for me,” he says, his blue eyes glowing. “No one else. Only you.”
“I wanted to wait. I wanted to give you this necklace and say these words to you later. I wanted to spend the next week lavishing you with my undivided attention and take you all over Paris. I wanted to buy you whatever you wanted and eat with you and drink with you and fuck
“I’m in love with you, Summer,” he whispers, his mouth right at my ear, brushing the sensitive skin. “I have been since I first laid eyes on you all those years ago.”
“I was an idiot. I still am. But I will do my damnedest to prove to you that I love you. Every single day for the rest of your life, as long as you let me.”
“It’s real. My feelings for you. They overwhelm me. I don’t know what to do with them,” he whispers, his hands finding my breasts, cupping them. “I love you so fucking much.”
“Watch what you say about her,” I say, my voice sharp. I’ll carve her up with words and have zero regrets over it too. “She’s the mother of my future children.”
Words are pretty, but most of the time they’re meaningless. That’s why I show her that I love her. By worshipping her body for the rest of the day.
“I’ve never seen a man so enamored before. And after all these years too.” I can tell she’s pleased. “You’re a very lucky woman, Summer.”
Whit is special all on his own. He is my lover. My protector. My fighter. The father of my children. The man I adore more than anyone else in the world.
I frown. “What’s wrong?” “Nothing. I just…” He smiles, and it’s sheepish. Almost bashful. “I love you so fucking much, Summer. How’d I get so lucky to find you?”
“We were made to be together. The stars aligned that night oh so long ago, allowing us to find each other.”
