“You are the greate...

“You matter to me. Please know that.”
“I don’t want you to beg. I want you to prove it to me.”
“I will.” He left a path of warm kisses up my inner thigh. “I’ll prove it to you every fucking day.”
“You know what happens when you get hurt, right?” “Hmm?” “You have to kiss it and make it better.”
“That’s my good girl. Just like that.” His hands glided up my thighs, spreading them apart. “On your tiptoes now.”
“I’m gonna figure my shit out,” he grunted as he fucked me hard over the saddle stand. “Might take a while. But I’ll do it. I’m not letting you go.” “Keep me,”
“Goddamn, baby girl. I feel you squeezing my dick. Come for me.”
“I want you to shatter. You can
break. I’ll be here to pick you up. I’m not g...

It took eight seconds for me to win a championship, and one second to lose everything else.
“I was just gonna ask if I could sleep with you tonight.”
“Always, baby. I want you in my bed.”
“Family isn’t a burden,” Dad said. “Assholes are. Stop acting like one. You’ve got a sweet girl who loves you to pieces and you’re acting foolish. Cut it out.”
“Downpours happen. You either drown in it or grow after it.”
Even in the terror of a burglary, I knew there would be people to keep me safe. To watch out for us. I loved Ray with my whole body—so much that it hurt. But it wasn’t just him. It was the whole Griffith family that I loved. I wanted to be a part of it.
“You heard me say I was going to fire you.” The corner of my mouth trembled. “Just let me go,” I whispered.
“I don’t need your help,” he said.
“Yes. You’ve made that perfectly clear.”
“I need you.” Ray pressed his mouth to the back of my h...

“Baby, I don’t want you going anywhere. That’s why I don’t want you working for me. I want you to be here because you want to be. I don’t want to keep you trapped. Cass is going to help us find something for you that you love.”
“And I know I don’t deserve you. I don’t deserve to be loved the way you love me.”
“What are we doing, Ray? This is... this is never going to work.” “You’re right.” Wait. He wasn’t supposed to agree with me.
“It’s not going to work if I don’t get my shit together. So, I’m working on it. Because I want this to work. It’...

“And, you know what? I like you better than me too.”
“You’ve made all of those promises before.”
“I know, baby. I know I let you down. I know I hurt you. I know I have to let go of what I thought my life was gonna look like whenever I got around to hanging up my chaps for good. I’ve got to work on that, an...

“I want to believe you,” I said. “That’s good enough for me. Because I want you. So, if that’s where you’re at, then I know where I stand with you and where I need to put in the work.”
“I’m a proud man, Brooke. I don’t like asking for help, so I’m only going to ask for one thing.” “What’s that?”
“One more chance to love ...

If I had to choose between you and the sun, it’s you. In every lifetime, you are the most brilliant thing in existence. Your love is blinding and sustaining. I crave your warmth. The incandescence of you is what gives me light when my nature is to seek darkness.
In every form that you exist, you are my sun. And I’ll be your moon. I’ll be the light that drives the nightmares away. The glow that soothes. And the calm you seek refuge in. Because you can burn eternally without me. But not me without you.
“I know it’s not much—” “It’s everything,” I whispered into his neck. “Because it’s you.”

pulled out a plant with a small red bloom. “What’s that?”
“Your plant. The one that only blooms when you meet the love of your life.”
“But… I dropped it. And it was mostly dead anyway.” “But it wasn’t all dead. I found a cutting on the pavement and—for some reason—took it inside and put...
