Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I don’t know what game you’re playing with Caleb right now, but this is not a game to me, Jake. You are not a game, and I don’t take what we have lightly.”
“But I won’t apologize for how I feel about him. Just like I won’t apologize to him for how I feel about you, Jake—”
“I’d like to know your demons better. Seems only fair when you already know mine.”
“Such a good fucking girl,” he hums against my mouth, making my pussy clench around his fingers. “You want a deep, dark truth from me? Give me one of yours first. Show me what this body wants. Show me what she fucking craves. I want to feel you take your fucking rules and bend them ’til they break.”
“I’m going to choke you with this dick and paint your pretty mouth with my cum. Would you like that, Hurricane?”
“Touch me again, and I’ll tell them about the cat,” I say, raising an imperious brow. Novy’s chest rises on a huff as he glares at me. “You wouldn’t.” “What about the cat?” calls Jake from the front seat. “Wait, you mean Princess?” says Morrow, looking to Nov. “What happened? What did I miss?”
“Say it, Tess. Lie to me and say you’re not aching to sit on my dick. My queen on her throne.”
A shiver of fear creeps down the back of my neck. Are they talking about a C-section? Oh, fuck no. The guys and I all have a primal fear of C-sections thanks to Tess. No way am I sitting in the hall as they cut our girl open. Not if there’s another option.
Slowly, he smirks. “Get the epidural, and Jake and Mars will make out for one minute.” She snorts a laugh, easing the tension in the room, and I smile, lifting my free hand to brush her hair back from her sweaty brow. “There she is.” Closing her eyes, she nods. “Okay. Let’s try this another way. Go get Varma.”
“I do,” I say on a breath, my heart racing under his palm. I can feel the steady beat of his heart under mine. “You have no doubts of me?” “None,” I reply, holding his gaze. “I have no doubts either,” he replies. “You are my husband, Jake. I seek no exit.” Fuck. I swallow back my tears and nod. “Yeah…no exit.” With a nod of his own, he drops his hands to his side. “You are good now?” I nod again. “You are ready?’ I huff. “Yeah, I’m ready, Mars.” The corner of his mouth quirks into a smile as he holds out his hand to me. “Then come. Let’s go meet our son.”
I look across the room with a smirk to see she broke her twin too. Now they’re both over there crying. “That’s a really cool name,” says Caleb. “I love it.” “Agreed,” says Mars. “It’s perfect.” I smile down at my son, so much love filling my heart I think it could actually kill me dead. I brush his soft hair with my thumb, my other arm still around Rachel. “Did you hear that? You have a name now, little man, and it’s perfect. You’re our Jamie…Jamie Harrison Price.”
Tiffany looks to me for confirmation. “We’re polyamorous,” I say, giving her the short version. “Three men married to one woman. The children are ours.” “Oh,” she says, eyes wide. “That’s so cool.” “And I’m married to my shexy hockey man,” Caleb calls. “I would be married to Marsh too, but he only loves Rachel. Noooo love left for Caleb. He won’t even touch me, Tiffany. Can you believe that?” I glance over sharply at him.
Aarre,”
Taking a step back, I swallow a groan of frustration. A minute ago, this was charming, if a little annoying. Now it’s turning dangerous. He can’t say these things out loud and not mean them. It’s too cruel. And Caleb is never cruel to me. So, he can’t mean them. He’s drugged. He’s not himself. My protective instincts flare, a flame burning bright. In this moment, he’s mine to comfort, mine to keep safe.
‘Say Don’t Go’ our song?”
“If you diss Taylor to my fucking face right now, I will file for divorce so fucking fast, I swear to fucking god, Mars.”
“Jake tells me to be patient, and I am being patient, Mars. I’ll keep waiting. I’ll keep pretending it’s enough because I know you’re not ready and maybe you never will be. But I’m gonna keep waiting, Mars. And maybe someday you’ll look at me the way you look at Rachel, and then I’ll know I don’t have to wait anymore. Because we could be so good together, Mars.”
Rachel is the slow beating of my heart, essential to living. Jake is the breath of fresh air in my lungs. But Caleb? He’s become my second set of ribs. He’s our protector, our center. He keeps us safe. He keeps us whole.
“Caleb Joshua Price, did you get some other woman pregnant?” “What—no,” I bellow. “Why is that where your crazy head goes first? How would I even—wait, Joshua? That’s not my middle name—” “I don’t know your middle name,” she says with a dismissive wave of the wand.
“Are you in love with me, Mars?” He closes his eyes and lets out a breath. “So much it hurts.”
IT’S OVER…FOR NOW BUT!! Before you come pounding down my door, demanding to know the details of Rachel’s third pregnancy (announced at the end of Ch 6 of PEA: Vol 1), I can only continue to reiterate that her third pregnancy is a major plot point of Book #4. I can’t go around giving away the plot of another book, now can I? I must ask for your continued patience. This is a big world, and there are a lot more stories to tell. I promise all will be revealed.
