Loyal by Default: Legacy of Carter Reed (Assassin's Heart #2)

by K.C. Mills

Three days wasn’t shit compared to the lifetime of women he had experienced, but McKenna had somehow managed to do what others before her couldn’t. She gave Carter Reed hope that he could be happy; that he deserved something good regardless of all the bad he’d done.

“This was my trial run to see if I could be happy settling. To see if you had potential to make me happy and you don’t.”

Potential is crazy. Cause you wanted her back no the other way around.

He was saying he was the prize and she should be grateful.

“She’s not alone and if you touch her, you will seriously regret that shit.”

And for the record, Kenni, I know exactly what you want and need…” Carter glanced over his shoulder. “Because you’re mine.”

PERIOD.

I don’t know how the fuck I’m gonna make this work with you wanting to run and never look back, but you’re stuck with me, Kenni. No fucking outs.

“Which would be hard to do if he didn’t offer.” Carter glanced at his phone when it vibrated. “And he didn’t fucking offer.”

It’s still heavy on the fuck him.

“Try to figure out if what the opps said about your parents was true.”

Look at my girl coming over to the dark side.

I can’t fucking live without you and I don’t want to.

Honestly, the internal thoughts are my favorite part of the book.

“Is it bad that I like how protective he is?”

She didn’t argue or object. She followed Carter back to the car and let him take her home but the entire time all she could think was, she was already home. With him…

“Wait, if you tell me we’re here to see your mystery child in a rec basketball game I’m gonna fucking murder you.”

Lmaooooo.

“Yep, her new man put his big ass dick in her and a big ass diamond on her. You gonna cry about it tonight while you’re looking at Shaunta’s ugly ass knowing you fucked up.”

“Good enough. Good enough, son.”

my heart.
