Kindle Notes & Highlights
She was everything I had ever wanted, my seductress in an innocent package. I wondered if she had
any idea just how much control she could have over me.
Strong fingers reached back between the doors and the front seat and wrapped around my bare calf. Lucas’s fingers kneaded my muscle in slow, purposeful motions, and I matched my breaths to the rhythm. Without words, he was telling me I was safe. That he was here, and God, it was melting me from the inside.
“That’s it. That’s my girl.”
“I’m going to make you come so hard. You’ll forget everything but the fact that I’m the only one able to give it to you.”
“You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to do that.” I stiffened and tilted my head to the side. “You mean kiss me?” I looked at the hollow at the base of his neck, unable to meet his gaze. “You never even looked at me.”
He laughed and kissed me again before speaking against my mouth. “I’ve never looked away.”
“Baby, I’ve got to get you somewhere private before I make a fucking scene.”
“Lucas, this means something to me.” His fingers dug into the back of my hair, his thumb and forefinger massaging my scalp, and his low words reverberated through me. “You’ve always meant more to me. I should’ve told you sooner.”
“I love her, and I’ll fight for her, Marcus. Even if that means fighting you.”
“I lied.”
“That night shouldn’t have happened. It was a mistake. I’m sorry.”
“I’m going to make you come so hard you won’t need to forget because you won’t be able to think.”
“And before you come down from it, I’m going to do it again.”
“I miss you.”
“Because I fucking love her.”
This was my future. A million tiny knives cut me as I watched my girl with another guy. I took steadying breaths, but each one came out harder than the other. I couldn’t fucking do this.
“You don’t even know her. But I do. I know what cereal she likes, that her favorite movie is Pride and Prejudice, her favorite song is the ten-minute version of ‘All Too Well.’ I have spent my entire life loving her, and it’ll be a cold fucking day before some asshole brings her to my game.”
“Babe, I could never stop loving you.”
“I’ve always wanted you. Always.”
“I’ve always been a little obsessed with you.”
“You have every right not to trust me, but baby, I’m going to fix that because there will never be anyone else for me than you.”
“I have loved you since the day you moved in next door. I’ve spent my time loving you when you weren’t looking, afraid that if I had you, I wouldn’t survive losing you.”
“I will never do that again. You make me strong, Piper. You’ve made me see that life isn’t worth living without you by my side.”
“You’re mine now, Piper, and I’m never letting you go.”
