Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I know we don’t know each other well, and you probably don’t think I’m a good man, but I swear I would never hurt you.” I pause. “Unless you ask me to.”
“I dare you to spank me, Kade.” A smile overtakes my lips, causing the dimples on my cheeks to form. I tuck a stray strand of frizzy blonde-and-violet hair behind her ear. “Then get over my knees, Lemon. Let me teach you how to be a good girl.”
“Lemon,” he says gently. “Look at me.” I squeeze my eyes shut, hoping that what I’m feeling doesn’t show before I turn my head to him. He shifts his arm under my chest so I’m more supported, the small movement doing nothing to help keep my emotions at bay. “Feel whatever you need to feel. Let me take care of you.”
Watching Kade Montgomery on a horse is… Wow. I think I’ve developed a cowboy kink. Or a Kade kink. Am I into kink now?
“Kade, I’m not a good dancer. You have other options.” He stops and turns to face me. “I don’t want other options.”
“I’d go against all the rules for you, if it makes you smile like that.”
“You’re not replaceable. You’re remarkable.” She bites her lip at my words but continues to look at me. “Believe me when I say that. There’s a reason you stand out—and it’s not because of your hair and tattoos. It’s because you’re you. I know it may not mean a lot coming from a fuckup like me, but believe it. The people who don’t see that, they’re the replaceable ones.”
“You look perfect like this, Presley. Your body was made for my ropes.”
We’re both just lost people looking for connection, for kindness, for care, for love. And somehow, despite our differences, we found that in each other.
Love. I love Presley, the shy and awkward city girl who I’ve learned isn’t as shy and awkward as I once thought. The epiphany has me standing a little taller, and the nervousness I’ve felt about talking to my family eases a bit. I never thought I could be one for relationships, but I’m starting to think that was never true—I just hadn’t found anyone worth having, worth fighting for.
