Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Are you watching, Mom?” I mutter the question quietly and lift my left hand to the mouthpiece on my helmet and kiss the rose tattoo inked between my thumb and pointer finger. “This one’s for you. Happy birthday.”
“She’s not my girlfriend, and I just asked if you wanted to go for a ride on my bike, not my dick. Though…”
“You want to play nice?” No, baby. I want to play dirty. Naked and really dirty. “For today anyway.”
“If you want to see me naked, all you gotta do is ask, princess.” “Skinny guys don’t really do it for me.” She turns on her heel. The fuck? I toss my shirt to the side. “I’m not skinny. I’m lean.”
He looks like an advertisement for bad boys, and everything inside of me screams, sign me the hell up.
“You didn’t tell me the Ken doll would be here.” “You didn’t ask.” He steps in front of me, blocking my path. His hazel eyes spark in warning. “Don’t toy with me, princess. Am I here in some fucked-up game to make him jealous?”
“I listen to you.” “And I know how much it pains you.” “What can I say, I like to be the one giving orders.”
“Lots of people think I won’t get back to where I was before.” “You’ll prove them wrong, princess.”
“You’ve done everything I asked, so tonight, you can order me around.” Knox hands me his helmet with a wicked smile I feel all the way to my toes. “Get on.”
“I’ll give you twenty bucks if you let me drive her around.” “I wouldn’t let you lay a finger on her for twenty bucks.” “The bike or the girl?” He smirks and lets his gaze slide over to me. Knox gets off the bike and holds out a hand to me. “Either, but especially not the girl.”
“Victory kiss?” His brows lift. “And you want to be the one I claim it from? Is that what you’re saying?” “You did win.” I shrug. “And you’re in charge tonight, remember? So whatever you want.”
“That’s a dangerous thing to say to me, princess.” He lowers his voice. “I’d have you bent over my bike so fast you wouldn’t know which way was up.”
“I’m not sure I’d mind that so much. In fact, I think I’d like it very much.”
“Luckily, what we want right now is the same.” His lips take mine. Hard and controlling from the moment they touch me. I open immediately and his tongue sweeps in, stroking mine. A person could get lost in Knox’s kisses. I do. I never want to stop.
“If I slipped off these gloves, would I feel how soaked you are for me?”
“What’s going on with you two? Are you planning on hooking up on the regular or was it a one-time thing?” “I don’t know. I forgot to ask him when he was making me orgasm in the empty parking lot.”
“Who was the other girl? Long, black hair, tattoos.” “Just a friend I’ve known a long time.” “A friend you’ve hooked up with?” “You really want me to answer that?”
“Why’d you run away instead of telling me all this at the bar? Hoping I’d chase you?” “No. I promise I did not expect you to show up here.” “Good. I don’t chase.” “But here you are anyway.”
“This mouth of yours is sexy as fuck, princess.” Her lips curve. “Wondering what it’d look like wrapped around your dick?” “If I hadn’t been, I am now.” I definitely had been. “Me too,”
“Hey, Knox?” “Yeah?” “You’re cuddling.”
“I said, ‘you can have whatever you want.’” I don’t look at him, but I can feel his heated stare on me. “And you said something like, ‘That’s a dangerous thing to say. I’d—’” “Have you bent over my bike so fast you wouldn’t know which way was up,”
“I think we’ve already established that I don’t need a condom to fuck you stupid.”
“Princess, I’ve been dreaming of fucking you since the first time I saw you in that frilly pink dress and white shoes.”
“Are you going to come all over my dick, princess?” “I’m close, but you feel so good I don’t want it to end.” “Don’t worry. I don’t plan to stop until you’ve come so many times you’ve lost track.”
“I bow down to the king of the nac four sixty.” “Oh, you’ll bow down later all right, princess.”
“You’re a real smooth talker, Knox Holland.” “Joel,” he says. “What?” “My middle name is Joel.”
“Just tell me, Knox. It’s okay. Whatever it is. I’ll be fine.” “I love you,”
“I’m sorry for being a coward. I should have told you how I felt sooner, but I didn’t think it mattered. Maybe it doesn’t now. I wouldn’t blame you if it’s all too little too late, but I couldn’t leave without telling you. I love you, Avery. You are the most impressive person I’ve ever met. You’re beautiful and smart, and so talented. You work harder than anyone I know, chasing your dreams, and yet you still always have time to help everyone else with theirs too. There’s nothing you wouldn’t do for the people you care about. Quinn, Colter, Hope, Flynn, me…”
