Kindle Notes & Highlights
He lifted his beer and dumped it straight over my head. I never broke eye contact,
“You’re going to end up just like your mama. Alone and forgotten and dead,” he whispered. “A guy like me shouldn’t even give you the time of day.”

That time of my life was a sore wound. I’d bullied Haley because I was a moron. My mama raised me better, but I’d been an idiot.
When she was new to our school, I’d done everything from sticking gum in her hair to stealing her books. Starting rumors about her.
And then I’d found out that her mother passed, and when I’d tried to make it right, I’d made it worse. That girl hated me.
Back then, Haley somehow became the girl I pined over but instead of self-reflecting, I did stupid things.
“Cameron Harlow, you put me fucking down before I kick you in the balls! Put me down!”
“He just put gum in my hair.” The class erupted into giggles. Heat flamed in my cheeks, my heart pounding. “You’re dead,” he whispered. “No one will be your friend now.”

“More than you can imagine, sunshine. I might be easygoing, but I’ll put you on your knees and make you beg for my cock like a good girl any day of the week. But only if you want to.”
