Kindle Notes & Highlights
never would have thought you could be lonely while constantly surrounded by people. But my life was testament to that.
And there she was, standing on the other side of the glass. Our eyes locked. Mine. I felt lightheaded as I stared at her, the world rearranging around me until all I could see…all I could feel…was her. I had no idea who she was. But for a heartbeat, I forgot about the game, the score…the pressure. I was entranced. Nothing else mattered. I stared at her angelic face in blind amazement until I lost my mind and I blew her a kiss, watching in awe as her gorgeous face screwed up in disgust, gold flecked eyes unaware that she’d just changed my fucking world.
“Very nice, Disney,” Ari screamed. “Good fucking boy.” Praise kink unlocked. I’d have to examine that later.
She was fucking staring at me. She raised both hands slowly and flipped me off and I almost passed out on the ice, just from having her attention.
I grabbed her hand, trying to keep the awe off my face at how fucking soft her skin was. She didn’t need to know that I would be the only hand she’d be holding for the rest of her life.
But in order to have the chance to be the good guy…I was going to have to be the villain first.
“My sweet girl,” he murmured in between kisses. “My gorgeous, perfect girl.”
“Your cunt is without a doubt, the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted, baby,” he growled. “And since I was such a good boy at my game, and we won, I think I need more of it.”
“That’s it, sweetheart,” he murmured, “look at you…taking my big dick so fucking good. Your sweet cunt was made for me. I’m positive about that.”
He wasn’t supposed to look at me like the sun set and rose because of me, that I was the best thing that had ever happened to him.
“You’re going to look at me while I fuck that perfect pussy. I need to make sure you know exactly who’s inside you,”
Besides, I wasn’t going through just my “date’s” purse, I was going through my future wife’s.
I'm trapped in a cage of my own design, Lost in a world where the sun won't shine. My heart cries out, but my voice is stilled, In this prison of sorrow, my dreams are killed. Every day, I paint on a smile, Hiding the tears that I've cried for a while. I'm a bird with clipped wings, unable to soar, In this cage of regrets, forevermore.
“How do you make me feel like nothing bad’s ever happened to me…like I’ve never been broken before?”
“I’ll prove it to you eventually,” he said quietly in response. “Prove what?” “That you have a safe place now, Olivia. That I am that safe place.”
Walker had seen all the broken parts of ‘Olivia Jones’ and he was still looking at me like the sun rose and set because I existed.
“I can’t believe I’m in the same room with them,” Monroe whispered as she stared at Jesse Carroway, Tanner Crosby, and Jensen Reid as they walked into the room. The girls that had just been all over my brother literally screamed. One of them burst into tears and started babbling.
“Only a person without a mother could understand how much a child needs one. Only a person who’s been broken can fully understand how to make someone whole. Only a person who has been without love can understand why it’s so necessary. Only a person who’s had to fight for their life could understand how precious it is. Our baby is going to have the most perfect mother in the world because you know all of those things, and you’re going to give our baby everything you didn’t have.”
Without the other half of your soul…what were you? Nothing. The answer was nothing.
day thinking about you. A burden?” I scoffed. “The way I love you goes beyond any love story you’ve ever heard. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to keep you. I burn for you, in the way that only someone can when you’re holding a piece of their soul.”
