Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Sorry, princess. If you’re looking for a knight in shining armor, you’re looking in the wrong fucking place.”
“You are beautiful,” comes the hard reply. “But it has nothing to do with that fussy fucking dress.”
“Interrupt me again and I’ll take you over my knee right here and spank that perfect ass of yours until you’re screaming.”
I need to kiss you.” “No.” It’s faint and not altogether convincing. “Then come sit on my lap and let me finger fuck you while I feed you dinner.”
“I want to taste every inch of you. I want to hear you scream my name. I want to make you come so hard you forget your own. I don’t have time to fuck around—excuse the pun—with the kind of wooing I’d usually do to win you, so that’s why I’m being so blunt. “Ask me to leave you alone and you have my word I will. But until I hear that, I have to tell you, Natalie, that I want to fuck your sweet cunt and your perfect ass and your luscious mouth and anything else you’ll let me fuck, because you are the single most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life.”
“I want everything you have to give, Natalie, for as long as you want to give it to me.”
When Kage knocks on my door at six, I’m calm and ready. Ha! I’m actually a nervous wreck, but I’m determined not to show it.
“I haven’t stopped thinking about you since the day we met. I’m not someone who obsesses over things, but I’ve obsessed over you.
“For a guy who claims to be such a bad scary criminal, you’re a big softie.” “Only for you.”
“So either don’t tell me your secrets or don’t make me fall in love with you. Because once I fall in, even death can’t make me fall out.”
“My beautiful girl. I’ve been helpless against you from the first day we met.”
“I’ll try to be back for Christmas, but I can’t guarantee it. In the meantime, relax.” His voice turns hot. “And keep out of that toy drawer. I want you wound tight as a spring the next time I see you. I want you to come on my cock the second I shove it inside you.”
“Later,” he says, his voice husky with need. “Right now I need to fuck you. Every night, I’ve been dreaming about the way you sound when you come. My dick has been aching for you for weeks. I’ve been aching for you. I think you’ve put a spell on me, little witch.”
“That’s where people go when they need to feel better: home.” “But your home is in New York.” “Home can be a person, too. That’s what you are for me.”
“I love you, bossy man. You’re my life now. Come back to me soon.” I have to disconnect without answering. I can’t. Because for the first time since I was a boy, I’m fighting back tears.
When we get into Manhattan, she cranes her neck to look at the skyscrapers we pass. She looks very young, gazing out the window with wide eyes, her lips parted in awe. I want to take her everywhere in the world so I can see that look on her face over and over again. As soon as I regain her trust, I will.
