Kindle Notes & Highlights
The old Monroe needs to die so the new one can be born. I have a chance to be anyone I want now, and I’m choosing to be a bad bitch who takes what she wants and doesn’t let anyone walk all over her.
It’s weird how you can be busy all day and still have energy, but when you sit behind the wheel of a car for hours on end, you feel like you ran a fucking marathon.
She’s absolutely breathtaking, and even though our relationship is fake, it’s crystal clear that I’ve outkicked my coverage by a fucking mile.
When we’re in public, I’ll make goo-goo eyes at her and tell everyone how smitten I am. But inside these walls? Not a chance.
Because whether she likes it or not, she’s mine just as much as I’m hers.
There’s no need to act like I’m crazy about him…because I am. And it scares the shit out of me.
“This is karma, isn’t it?” I pull back, raising an eyebrow in question. “What is?” “Being forced to think about my brother banging my best friend, like he has to think about me banging his.”
“I love you, Monroe Decker,” he says quietly. “And I’ll spend the rest of my life reminding you how fucking special you are.”
I’m stronger with Riggs by my side. He doesn’t hold me back. He holds me up.
“You’ll submit to me and let me take what I need in this room. But out there, in the world? You’re my fucking queen. I’ll fall at your feet and give you everything. You’ll never have to question how loved you are, because I’ll remind you every day that you own me.”
She’s combative the entire way, complaining about how extra I’m being, but I don’t give a fuck. I’m prepared to take care of her until my last breath—and that begins right here, right now.
“I know with everything that went down last night, I should probably feel immense loss, but because of you, I don’t. If anything, I feel like I finally have a family that loves me unconditionally.”
I’ll never be able to thank Monroe for being exactly what I need, but I have no problem spending the rest of my life trying.
Monroe Decker is finally free to live the life she’s always imagined, and I’m the lucky motherfucker that gets to stand beside her as she makes her mark on the world.
