Kindle Notes & Highlights
“How’s it that I was the one supposed to be marking you, and you’re the one who left the imprint? And now I can’t stop thinking about marking myself all over you. Writing myself on every fuckin’ inch of this sweet little body.”
“And if you need someone? If you get scared or want to give into whatever the fuck happened last night? If you want to run like I know you were planning to do? Then you come to me. You understand? You don’t have to be afraid.”
“I want to erase every scar he left. Kiss each of them away. Help you heal them so you know you have the strength to go on. So you know you don’t have to hide anymore. Because hiding who you are is a fuckin’ tragedy, Charleigh. Tragic when I can feel the goodness trying to shine out of you.”
Favorite color? Tell me it’s pink like those sheets I got a peep at on your bed. Pink like those distracting scrubs you always wear. Same as the pink that flushes your cheeks when you’re turned on. Because I’m pretty sure that exact color just became my favorite.
Only thing I
ask is if you get scared? If you feel like runnin’? Then you run to me.”
Keep her close. From here to eternity.
“Yeah, baby, you are. The second you ran through my door? That’s what you became. My responsibility. So, thank you, Little Runner, for runnin’ to me.”
“Nah. I saw you first. Wanted you first. Think that means you’re mine.”
Want you to find this new life. For you to fuckin’ live and live right.”
“And fuck, I want to do it with you.” I gasped his name. “I do. I fucking want to do it with you,”
“You don’t have to run anymore, Charleigh. You can rest in me.”
“Because I love you. I’m so fucking in love with you. So caught up I can’t see a future where you don’t exist in it. I can’t imagine a day that I wake up without you in my arms. You fuckin’ struck me the first time I saw you, Charleigh. Pierced me all the way through. Stole some part of me when I inked myself on you. But you have all of me now. If you want it. If you’ll take it.”
“It’s you and me, Charleigh. From here to eternity.”
