Fall with Me (Playing for Keeps #4)

by Becka Mack

“I live to annoy her. Get her all riled up, then fuck the angry outta her later.”

But I don’t want to fall alone. I want her to fall with me. And if I hit the ground at full speed, splitting apart at the seams, I want to trust that she’s going to be there, tucking her hand in mine, helping me to my feet. I’m tired of getting up all on my own.

“Looking at you, knowing you exist in my world, that you could be mine one day and gone the next, is the most overwhelming thing I’ve ever felt.”

“You’re the only person whose opinion of yourself matters, Jaxon. Stop worrying about being enough for other people. Be enough for yourself.”

“With all due respect, I didn’t do that. Lennon walked into my life knowing her worth and demanding I give it to her. I think that says more about the way she was raised than who she’s been spending time with.” “Maybe, but don’t sell yourself short. She’s so comfortable demanding it with you because you give it to her without question. With you, she continues to elevate. That’s the way it should be when you find the right person.”

“I’d live anywhere with you, Lennon, so if this isn’t it, that’s okay. If you want something different, we can keep looking. If you aren’t ready and you wanna stay put in the condo a while longer, that’s cool too. It doesn’t matter to me where we call home, just as long as it’s me and you.”
