Kindle Notes & Highlights
Evan’s not just my teammate, he’s one of my best friends. And his mother died of cancer over the summer. My fist connects with the UConn player’s jaw with a satisfying jolt.
He had it comin
His rough voice in my ear, whispering about how good I’m being, smelling like—
SMELLING LIKE WHAT
“What’s going on?” she demands—at the exact second my bright blue dildo hits her in the face.
Bahahahahahhahahahahyaha
Anything to avoid thinking too hard about Cooper Callahan’s good-time reputation. And seizing his, er, dick.
🤣😂
“It’s true,” the girl who looked at us before says. “Sorry to butt in, but my friend slept with him last year and he made her come three times. She says it was life changing.”
Life changing huh
“What’s The List?” the girl asks. Mia glances over and says, “Sorry, but this conversation is officially closed.
Girl why are you still here???
I look up at the sound of the voice—and find myself staring at a girl my age. Scratch that. A beautiful girl my age.
I salute her. “Aye, m’lady.”
Interesting
“Hook up with me.”
You go girl
“It’s been way too long for me too.” Several years long, but I don’t mention that last part. “I noticed you looking at me.” “And I noticed you noticing me.”
“Your place or mine?” he asks. “Now.” I gesture across the ice; we’re alone, with no one to interrupt us. “There’s a supply closet down the hall.”
Closet 🫠
He presses a kiss to my belly button. “Freckles here too,” he murmurs. “Adorable.”
And even though I’m the one with stars swimming in my vision, he thanks me.
“You do know my name,” she teases. “I was getting worried.” I grin. “Can I have your number? Do you have a Snap?”
Do you have a snap 🤣🤣
“I did it,” I blurt. Her eyes go as wide as the chocolate chip cookies in the bin next to the register. “Oh my God. Tell me everything!”
and to get Little Miss Red Ryder-hood out of my head.
“We need to find her. The last thing I saw, she was—” “No,” I interrupt. “Don’t even.” “There were body shots involved.”
Izzy 😆😆😆
Before she can collect her thoughts, Izzy heaves—and hurls all over me.
🤣😂😭
“No, he was . . .” I sigh, unable to fake any interest. “Fine, yes, he was a bit of an ass. But whatever, I just wanted to blow him.” He blinks. “We’re going to unpack that later.” “We?”
Izzy giggles, poking me in the stomach. “He likes you.”
“You should have told him who you were beforehand.”
Ooops
Then she shuts the door in my face.
Sebastian clears his throat. “I’m right fucking here.”
Poor Seb
“Gorgeous girl,” he murmurs. “So good and perfect for me.”
Yes this was clearly very casual
“He knows I’m your sexperience tour guide. Your spice coach, if you will.”
😆
“I’m Cooper’s . . . we’re friends.” “And co-volunteers,” Cooper says. “Also, there’s a friends-with-benefits thing going on. Really, I’m her sex coach—”
Just telling random ppl
“You ought to know by now that if life offers you French fries, you take them.”
Good rule
“Penny, will you come to the ladies’ with me?” Bex asks. As they wind their way through the tables away from us, James leans in. “Friends, huh?”
when it’s clear she’s determined to make the dusty underside of this table her new home, I put the book down and shimmy underneath too.
Awww
He swipes his hand through his damp hair. “Penny, why are you lying? What happened?”
don’t realize it until he takes in a broken breath, but he’s tearing up. He pulls a tissue out of his pocket and carefully wipes his eyes, then clears his throat.
It’s in my chest like a breathing, palpable thing. Not friendship. Something deeper. Eventually, I won’t be able to contain it, and I’m terrified that the moment that happens, I’ll lose Penny for good.
The Callum character is me, right? I’ve always wanted to be a billionaire werewolf who gives really good head At least the last part is already true . . . . . . . I regret everything
We’ve teased each other plenty, but seeing her show up to the game in Brandon’s sweater—of all the players on the team—stung like a shot to the face. She doesn’t know about the trouble I’ve had with him, but still.
Rude
Why would I have wasted time with someone who isn’t her?
“Even if I did, it’s just a dick. Dicks, generally speaking, are not that special.” I put on a wounded face. “And here I thought you liked my disco stick.”
“You’re calling me Callahan because it helps you pretend there’s nothing deeper going on here,” I say in a low voice. “Cut the shit, Penny. You know my name. Say it.”
That sounds like Brandon Finau.
Ohhh no he didn’t
“And if you don’t like that, I don’t care if you demote me from captain or bench me.” He glances over at me, his gaze softening. “I just want a chance with her.”
I open my mouth, but I don’t know what I’m about to say. And then I’m saved from answering anyway, because I realize Dad is crying.
He’s crying 😭😭😭😭
“You still think I wouldn’t support you?” He pinches the bridge of his nose, shuddering in another breath. “Did you really think I wouldn’t support this?”
“Your mother used to steal my clothes.” His voice sounds a little thick, the way it always does when he talks about Mom. “That Harvard sweatshirt looked better on her, anyway.”
GIRL HUG YOUR POOR DAD
“That’s okay, Pen. Let’s talk about it over dinner.”
“Make sure you go pee.”
Yes thank you peeing after sex is very important
“Remember how I left my uncle that voicemail?” “Yeah.” “I think I saw him.”
O boy
I know you’re writing about very important fictional smutty goodness But I’m just saying, if you need someone to act out scenes with, I’m right here And super bored Actually, I’m writing a battle scene Oh??? Of course /that’s/ what gets you excited I literally have a sword tattooed on my body Just get over here and kiss me
😂
I’m better now, but that doesn’t mean I’m looking forward to it—even if that date is Cooper’s birthday.
Of course that’s coopers birthday
“But love is almost always worth the risk.”
he told me it was from an old car accident that he barely remembers.
Mmmmmm
“Darling, you ought to know by now that I stick to my word.”
Mia + Seb ????
