Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Hudson is living with a woman,” Maverick says, and Riley gasps. “I know, right? And the fucker didn’t think to tell us.” “What? You have a new girlfriend?” “Is that why you skipped book club this week?” “Y’all are annoying with your interrogation.”
“Not in dark romance it’s not,” Grant says. “That’s why I like that shit the most.” “Yeah, because stalkers are more believable than two people not liking each other,” I draw out. “They could be,” Grant challenges. “And fantasy too. When they’re sword fighting and he’s all I hope you’re prepared to meet your end, and she’s all I’d sooner die than let you win, and then he nicks her cheek and smirks? I live for that shit.”
“I knew he’d be a freak in the bedroom,” Ethan says, and I untangle myself from them. “I’m not a freak. I just know how to listen,” I say. “Helps a lot.” “We need to make him watch the ‘Juno’ positions clips and figure out which ones he likes.” Grant drops to the floor and thrusts into the rug. “Have you ever tried this one, Hud?”
I don’t say the things I’m thinking: how I’m always worried I’m too much. Too over the top, like women in the past have called me. That the therapy I’ve been doing since my mom’s death is working, but I still feel like I’m this ball of emotion who loves people too fiercely, who cares too deeply, who wonders if my brain might be hardwired wrong.
“You’re a catch, Huddy. Your person is out there, and you want to know the wildest fucking thing?” I huff. My breath comes out like a wisp of smoke, and I can’t wait to hear. “What?” “She’s trying to get to you right now. It’s just taking her a little while. Traffic, you know?”
“This right here—being with you? Touching you? Breathing the same air as you?—is good enough for me. Everything else is a bonus.” Goddamn him for being the most perfect man.
“You are an idiot.” “Ow, you fucker.” I wince, rubbing my hair. “What was that for?” “Who gives a shit if she doesn’t want to get married? Look at me! I was so against monogamy, and now I’m wondering how I can order a fucking casket that fits two people so I can hold Emmy’s hand when we’re dead. Marriage isn’t the only path for relationships. You don’t need a piece of paper to love her, do you?”
Maverick je proste ... ak milujem, jeho aj Emmy, Piper aj Liama dosadila d ďalšieho príbehu. Maverick je hotový golder retriever a autorka to vykreslila dokonale.
“Sounds like you want to keep me around. How long is all this spoiling and pampering going to last?” “Forever, if you’ll let me,” he says, and my heart skips a beat. “And then some.” “Okay,” I say, and his hold on me tightens. “Forever sounds really nice.”
