Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You only want me because I’m the first female who’s said no to your gorgeous face and come-fuck-me body. You’re so used to every female falling at your feet, pun intended, that you see a challenge—someone immune to your charm—and you’re unsure how to react.”

“Not inconsequential, Rylee. You could never be inconsequential.”
He is my fire on a cold night, the sun warming my skin on a cool spring morning, the wind caressing my face on an autumn day—he is everything that makes me feel alive, and whole, and beautiful. And desired.
“It’s unimaginable how much I want you to say yes.”
maybe it will turn into something more. Maybe it won’t. But at least you took the chance.”
“What’s your story? Where you’re from? What’s your family like? What are your secret vices?”
“I don’t know what I want.” The muscle in his jaw twitches, and I can see the strain in his neck. He clenches and unclenches his fists, closing his eyes and sighing deeply before opening them up to meet my gaze again. I catch a fleeting glimpse of fear and then resolve before he reins it in. “But whatever this is, I know I want it with you, Rylee.”
“I will not be inconsequential, Colton. To you or anyone else.”
“You have a habit of telling me what you want, Ace, without asking me what I want.”
