Kindle Notes & Highlights
my ability to draw that smile out of her might just be the highlight of my shitty week.
“However, I have to commend you on achieving something that I thought was impossible.” “What’s that?” “Making me like someone with the last name DuBois.” I rolled my eyes even as I fought an exasperated laugh. “You are an incorrigible flirt.” “Flirt? Yes. Incorrigible? That’s a matter of opinion.”
“Before you say anything else, this…” I gestured between us. “Ends now.” Amusement slid across his infuriatingly perfect face. “What’s this?” “The flirting. It’s unprofessional.” “I’m afraid flirting is part of my nature, darling.”
“I’m just that type of student.” “You mean a teacher’s pet?” “Darling, if you want to call me pet, I won’t stop you.”
Us. Scarlett. I turned, my heart giving a panicked thump when I saw her frozen at the top of the steps, her eyes wide and her face pale. I’d assumed she was right behind me, but she appeared to be in shock. One of the paps said something that got lost in the storm and grabbed her arm. A switch flipped, and my determination to keep my mouth shut washed away beneath a haze of red. “Hey!” I doubled back and shoved him off her. “Don’t touch her!”
“I have other things I could do,” he said. “I wouldn’t say they’re better.”
“Shit. I forgot how high-impact running is. It’s not good for chronic pain, is it?” The warmth in my veins melted into honey. Hell, everything melted. At this rate, they’d have to scrape me off the driveway with a spatula. “You looked up chronic pain?” A wash of dull red colored Asher’s cheekbones. “Out of curiosity, that’s all,” he said. “I didn’t know much about it, so I figured I should learn the basics. Obviously.” “Obviously.”
If her smile was a burglar, her laugh was a fucking thief because I was pretty sure she just stole a piece of my heart from right out under me.
“Wait. Scarlett, darling…are you jealous?” “You wish.” I’d been half joking, but her answer came too quickly, too aggressively to ring true. My smile vanished beneath an unsteady thump of my heart. “Maybe I do.”
Look at Eldorra’s royal couple. They overcame a centuries-old law to be together.
RHYS MENTIONED😣
“Just because you’re privileged in one way doesn’t mean you can’t struggle in other ways.”
I’ll always have your back. Always. No matter what happens, there’s nothing in this world that I won’t do for you.
Asher laughed. “Scarlett, this is Jules, an old friend of mine.” “And this is Josh, my boyfriend,” Jules added, gesturing at the man beside her.
JULES AND JOSH MENTIONNNN🙂↕️🙂↕️
