Kindle Notes & Highlights
For all the first-born daughters who feel the pressure to be perfect and will do just about anything to avoid disappointing their families. Should we all be so lucky to have that lead to shacking up with a hot, playful billionaire.
“Honey, you don’t need to be embarrassed about being affectionate with your boyfriend. To be honest, it’s nice to see a man staring at my baby girl like she’s hung the moon.”
“Love changes and matures as you do. It becomes deeper, a part of your soul. Intimacy is less about tearing each other’s clothes off and more about closeness and connection.”
“Come on, Freckles. Are you really gonna deny dear, sweet Meemaw’s request for a show?”
“What are you doing?” Bringing my mouth to her ear, I replied, “You were just moaning as we made out in front of your family. It’s my right as the boyfriend to touch you. I promise I don’t bite.” I waited a beat before adding, “Unless you ask nicely.”
“You can tell a lot about how a man is between the sheets by the way he kisses.”
“Your Pop used to maul me with his mouth, and let me tell you, he was no slouch in the bedroom. Or any other place we happened to get carried away.”
Her innate goodness called to me like a beacon in the dark guiding me home.
“You ready to shoot your shot, son?” “Yes, sir, I am.”
“You think I’m teasing you about your freckles, but I fucking love them.” She sucked in a sharp breath, but I kept going. “I love how you never cover them up. I’m desperate to count every single one as I memorize your body, inch by inch.”
“Those kisses were incredible, but that hug shook me to the core.”
“If you’re not okay with me touching you, tell me now. Because once I start, I’m never gonna want to stop.”
“I plan to have my hands and mouth on every part of your body tonight, Aspen. That means you are entitled to the same when it comes to mine.”
“Fuck.” His groan was lewd and loud. “Feels so good, baby. Keep going.”
“Look at you making messes. Not sure whether I should punish you or praise you.” “Why not both?”
I promise to have you naked and on your knees, telling you what a good girl you are while my cock is stuffed so far down your throat you’re gagging.”
You jerk a guy off through his clothes one time and, all of a sudden, you’re a cum slut.
You’re so fucking beautiful that there are days I wonder what kind of favors your parents had to promise God because I’ve never met another woman who has drawn my attention by simply existing.”
“Just means I’m gonna take my sweet time warming you up, honey.”
My buzz from the bar had long worn off, but I was drunk on the way Mac made me feel. It was a high I would be chasing for the rest of my life.
“Kiss me,” I begged, mindless for another taste of his lips. His brown eyes darkened to almost black. “Don’t worry. There’s going to be lots of kissing.” He brought his mouth to my ear, his voice dropping an octave as he whispered, “Everywhere.”
“Stop trying to rush this. We have all night, and I intend to make the most of every second until the sun comes up.”
“You going to let me own this pussy? You going to let me be the first man to touch it, taste it, fuck it?”
“You’re even more beautiful than I imagined.”
“If you taste half as good as you smell, Freckles, I might have to check into rehab tomorrow. Because I’m gonna be addicted.”
We’re gonna take our time, get you nice and ready, baby.”
“Good things come to those who wait.”
“I have to say, pink is definitely your color. It drove me crazy on your lips and then your nipples, but damn.” His eyes dipped to that intimate place between my thighs, and he let out an impressed exhale. “Pretty sure this pussy is my favorite of them all.”
“Remember those ribs I ate yesterday?” “Uh, yeah?” How could I forget? It had been quite the spectacle. “Same rules apply. Gonna lick you clean, not wasting a single drop of this feast.”
Goddamn, I wanted to bathe in her juices. But I’d made a promise to devour every trace of her arousal, which wasn’t easy with how she kept coming on my tongue, flooding my face.
“Am I allowed to grab a condom?” I challenged. The lust glazing over her vision cleared, and she hopped off. “Oh, right. Yeah. Of course. Don’t know what I was thinking.”
“What we are about to do is a claiming. But I need you to understand that it’s not one-sided. It’ll make you mine, but at the same time, I’ll be yours. Understand?”
“Let go. Come for me.”
“Love is scary.” My head whipped up at the words. Rose’s eyes grew glassy, and her voice thickened. “It doesn’t come with a guarantee. Sometimes, it’s cut short, leaving you in so much pain that you’re left wondering if you were better off without it. But if you’re lucky, you have enough memories to remind you that it was worth it, and you’d do it all again, even if you knew how much it would hurt when it was gone.”
“Hate to break it to you, honey, but I’m itching to fuck you all the time, even when you’re fully clothed.”
“Can still hear that voice of yours loud and clear, not a single trace of hoarseness. Gonna have to keep working on that.”
“Dirty girl,” he murmured. “Bet those panties are a mess. Gonna get you nice and clean.”
“Stop looking at me like that, or you’re gonna have me painting your pretty skin with my cum before I’m even inside you.”
“I don’t just want you, Aspen. I need you,”
“Don’t stop,” I begged. Hoarse words came in reply. “Honey, I couldn’t fucking stop if a tornado blew through this cabin.”
“Take the time to enjoy life because, one day, you’ll blink and it’ll be nearly over.”
“Aspen, you are the gift.” Her lips parted, and a rush of air escaped. I kept going. “You changed my life in a way I never saw coming. I don’t want to go back to being the man I was before you tore down my walls, brick by brick, and saw value in the person I hid behind them. You’re the only one I feel comfortable being my true self with, and I can trust that you’ll continue to keep me grounded.”
“You—this town—are everything I never knew I always wanted.” Voice thick with emotion, he whispered, “I’m home.”
“You’re my best friend and the woman I love. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for you, and I can’t wait to see the version of myself I get to become with you as my wife.”
