Kindle Notes & Highlights
My defiance is a declaration of the love I have for myself and the life I create for me. I adore my body, feel empowered by the autonomy to share it, and have no desire to be a mother.
“You’re hard to miss.” He nods to my phone on the counter. “When you’re ready for a grown man to take care of you, come find me.”
“Would you like another to-go box?” He motions to the untouched berries and granola sliding through low-fat Greek yogurt. “Yes, thanks.” I frown at the bag. “Is this for someone else?” “The gentleman settled your bill and asked us to rush an order.” He checks the taped receipt. “Pancake and eggs from our children’s menu. For Junior?” A smile breaks. Let the games begin.
Men are for a moment, and this one is too close.
Did this event come with notecards of basic questions? I’m sure Spiro is nice, but What do you do? and Where are you from? don’t get my panties moist.
“One night.” “I couldn’t stand you longer.” “Jay and Terrence can never know.” “Obviously,” Miles scoffs. “No sex.” My mouth lifts at his eye twitch. “You don’t deserve this pussy.” “You flatter yourself,” Miles says. “You’ll beg for this dick before I’d ever fuck you.” “Let’s get one thing straight.” I shift closer, inches away from broad lips pressed into a hard line and a goatee trimmed to perfection. “You want to play with me tonight. Consider it a gift. My vagina is perfection.” I lean back and look at the obvious tent in Miles’s pants. “Don’t challenge me. You’ll lose every time.”
A healthy sex life doesn’t guarantee that the person I’m with will get the job done. Half the time, I’m directing men to my G-spot like I’m landing a damn 747.
Preston’s name sure as hell didn’t match his face or his body. He’s fine. Tall. Dark hair. Olive skin. Muscular frame. He doesn’t look like he works at the resort, certainly not outside. I can’t place where I’ve seen him before. But I know I never fucked him, so that’s a plus.
“Good for you, sweetie. Whether you decide to take a life partner or not, never settle. You’ll know once you’re with the right person.” “How will I? Just curious.” “When the love feels safe for you to be your full self,” Ms. Ang says with the warmth of a woman in a healthy relationship.
Miles is pulling emotions out of me like he was meant to be part of my life.
Two weeks is the longest I’ve gone without sex of any kind. Stressed? Get good dick. Frustrated? Dick. Happy? Angry? Lonely? The same answer applies.

Lingerie is more than an accessory for sex. There’s a confidence that comes with knowing you’re the shit, that your body is worthy of love and praise.
“Look at this pussy take my dick.” I stare at our joined bodies. I’m mesmerized by the waterpark between her thighs, coating the condom. She whimpers when I roll my hips to hit her spot. “Fuck, baby. Cream for me.”
“You have until the time I finish this before I fuck you against that window.”
Emma and I will catch a cramp before we catch feelings.
“I want to keep you safe, kitten. Will you let me?” I keep my voice calm and my gaze steady. I’d set the world on fire if anyone harmed her.
“It’s a Carter Davis,” she clarifies. Her voice is cautious, like he’s breathing down her neck just to be an ass. I hit the button to speak. “Send Crispin in.”
“And he will get one once it’s ready and the primary sponsors of this bill approve any changes. He might tell you how far to bend over, but this little attempt at a pissing contest will get you escorted out the door.” I stand. “Don’t come back here on bullshit. Respect the staff in this office by making an appointment, or read the bill draft Carrillo sent you three weeks ago. Either way, your time is up.”
me to hear his heart. “You asked me earlier why I care,” he says. “You’re too incredible to deal with unnecessary bullshit from the people who should love you the most.”
“Thank you. Not because I need saving, but for showing up when it means the most.” “I got you, kitten. Them lights aren’t coming back on until tomorrow.” He pulls me to the corded muscles of his chest and kisses the top of my hair. I stare for a beat before it sets in. “You did that?” My eyes damn near bulge from their sockets. “Damn straight,” he says with a grin.
“Call me the hoodlum hacker. I’ll turn off every light in the city before they disrespect you again in my presence.”
“Aren’t you tired?” “Of?” My clit pulses. “Fighting this. We are inevitable.”
Miles Devonte’ Walker?”
“I’ll move some stuff around to make it,” between chews. I choke on my coffee. “You—what?” “I go where my lady goes.” My lady.
“I don’t want to take you away from work,” I say.
“I’ll leave her alone for the rest of the week. Next week, though? It’s on.”
“Stretching out this pussy.” I moan. “I want my baby to sing for me.”
“I’ll show you some love too. Until then, it’s me and Bernadette.” “Bernadette?”
“Relax, bougie,” he says in a tone to taunt my disinterest in bug spray and peeing outside. “It’s part of the resort. I’mma take care of your ass and have you skipping home the same way you’re about to skip back to your office.”
“Where are we going?”
“I can feed you this meat or eat my dessert. Which one do you want? You’re not going back to work stressed either way.”
“Take care of me, please.”
“I always will, kitten.”
“Hope you’re hungry,” he says, his full attention on the dinner he’s making. His gaze flicks to me and my open mouth with a chuckle. “I can feed you this dick the way you got that jaw ready.”
“And have the neighbors hear your giggle?” Miles groans at my hand over his sweats to grip his length. “I’m down if you are.” I lick his ear and bite.
“I’m with a woman who takes no shit and changes everything she touches for the better. You’re my quiet place, Em. Every day I spend with you feels like home.”
Being with Emma is opening me up to truths I never expected to reveal. I like sharing with her and want to create more memories with her.
“You’re not tired of me yet?” Her body shudders as my fingers knead her nipples. “I’d follow you to the ends of the earth, kitten.”
Justice is everything good in this world. She didn’t deserve the games you played. I’ve made my fair share of mess, but there are lows too low for even me. You can’t fix past mistakes, but you can glow up, grow up, and move forward.”
My right hand was itching—” “An itch is the reason you acted a mess?” I fix my would-be nemesis with a stare. “It’s something we believe back home,” Madison says. “If your right hand is itchy, an old acquaintance will cross your path.” “What about the left?” I must be buzzed if I’m entertaining tales about unlotioned hands. A high-arched brow lifts. “Money is on the way.”
“I never meant to hurt you or leave the way I did. I moved out of habit, and it won’t happen again.” My fingers trace the curves of her shoulders. “You were never just a fuck, kitten. I care too much for you.”
“I told you I want more, Em,” I whisper next to her. “That wasn’t a lie. I want your time. I want to earn your heart. Will you let me love you? I can’t promise I won’t fuck up, but I want to try. I am trying.”
“You might not think I pay attention, but I do, kitten.”
“Red roses aren’t you, baby. They’re mass-produced and easily accessible. You’re one of a kind. There are some thorns, but I’ll prick my finger every time to hold you.” His lip sinks between his teeth at the drool no doubt pooling from my mouth. “You also hate red roses like you do Valentine’s Day.”
Got you something to match your free spirit instead of that “off with her head” shit on your desk. I snort at his Alice in Wonderland reference. My favorite Disney movie. These reminded me of you. See you soon, Miles PS: Open the bag. I know your ass is grouchy this time of day.
Is it too much to ask to eat pussy in peace? I ignore my phone for the third time. Whoever it is will have to pray about it. I’m busy.
“I know you’re not.” “It’s an emergency,” Emma mumbles into my mouth. “So is this dick.”
GG told me at a young age that when you find love, you might not have the right words or know what to do, but your soul will whisper to theirs. Emma speaks to me in ways no one else has or ever will. “This is different. She’s different.”
tackled him to the ground. I want this—Emma’s pleasure and joy—every day. The love and affection she fights out of fear I’ll hurt her is there. I just need her to trust me. I love her. I want her, however she’ll have me. “I never thought what you and Jay have was in the cards for me,” I confess. “But I want that with Emma.”
