Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I may miss a lot of things, but one of those will never be how fucking gorgeous you are. Doesn’t matter if you’re covered in grease or flour or have dark circles you’re drowning in. None of it will take away an ounce of your beauty.”
“The Clek Oobr one. Those mommy blogs said it was the best. And I had one of the experts come and install it. Blogs said it was important to get it in right.” I gaped at the man opposite me.
“Get your shit. Now. Luca’s, too,” Cope growled. My jaw went slack. “Excuse me?” Cope’s eyes narrowed. “You’re not staying in a place with no warm water. Not for one minute more. So, get your stuff. You’re moving in with me.”
“The color reminds me of your eyes. It felt like it was meant to be.” My gaze jerked to him. “My eyes?” “Turquoise. Like the Caribbean Sea. Could find a world of peace in those eyes.”
No matter how bruised and bloodied the battle made me, I never gave up. Especially when the light at the end of the tunnel was her.
“Are you trying to get my ass, er, butt kicked? Reaper will flatten me the next time we’re on the ice if I let his girl cover my cupcakes.”
“I’m sorry, Cope. He didn’t make it. He’s gone.”
WTF
“Maybe because you two have been attached at the hip for almost a month now, and he looks at you like you’re the sun, moon, and stars all wrapped into one.”
Thieves was probably the most accurate term Thea could’ve picked. Because Cope was a damn thief. Without me realizing it and without my permission, he’d stolen my heart.
“You should have everything. Someone who isn’t broken or fucked up, whose head isn’t a nightmare on a good day. You need someone good. Someone who will do everything to take care of you and Luca. Someone so much better than me.”
“I’ve worked so damn hard to stand on my own two feet. I’m in charge of my life, Cope. And if you would’ve stopped long enough to ask me what I wanted, you might’ve found out it was you.”
“I never once said I didn’t want you. Fuck, Warrior. I think about you with every other breath. I dream about you. And when I wake up, I swear I can still taste you on my tongue.”
“It’s torture. Being so close to you and not having everything. All of you. Knowing what your skin feels like and wanting to know what it feels like everywhere. Wondering if you taste as good as you smell.”
“And the way you say my goddamned name. I want to know how your tongue curves around it when I sink into you. When you’re pulsing around my cock and sucking me deep.”
“Killing me. The way you press those pretty little thighs together… But it’s a death I’ll take every time.”
“I want you, Cope. I want you to take me. I want to know what it’s like to lose myself in you and forget my own name. I want it all.”
“About fucking time,”
“Fuck, Warrior. You taste even better than in my dreams.”
“Because you scare the hell out of me, Warrior. Because you make me feel more than I ever thought I could.”
“Come on, Warrior. Shatter with me. Let go.”
“Warrior, don’t like you assuming we won’t work out. But if we don’t, I’ll never bail on Luca. I’ll have his back for the rest of his life, and nothing will ever change that.”
“I’ll always take care of you. Always.” Sutton just cried harder. “Don’t promise me that.” “Why not?” I asked, my voice dropping low. “Because if I lose that promise, I’ll break.” “Fuck,” I muttered. I cradled her against my chest. “I’m afraid it’s too late.” “Too late?” she croaked. My fingers sifted through Sutton’s hair, tangling in the strands. “I’m already in love with you.”
“Don’t even think like that. I’d walk through fire for you any day of the week.”
“Because I love her and you. That means I always want people to treat her and you with respect and kindness. And I’m always going to step in when they don’t.”
“I love you. With everything in me. All I am is yours. Brokenness and all.”
“You’ve given me so much that the idea of losing it, losing you…it’s like I can’t breathe.”
“I’m carrying your nail marks on my back. I’d have Kye tattoo them on me, but you’re burned into my goddamned soul. I carry you with me every second of every day.”
