Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I never thought I’d get a chance to feel this,” he says, rocking into me. “This connection. I never thought someone would ever look at me or touch me the way you do. I never thought I deserved it.”
“It’s a star. You bought me a star.” Wetness leaks from my eyes and I rub it away before it has a chance to drip onto the star registry certificate. “A star called Cooper.”

“Look for me in the stars,” I say under my breath, soft enough for only him to hear. Jamie shifts, smiling at me with dark, wet lashes. “Now you know where to look, so you can always find him.”

“You, Caiden Carrington, are the best gift I never even knew to wish for,”
“I want to cover you in my cum and make you wear it all night.”
“I want to hold you for the rest of my life,” I say into his ear. I want to touch him and kiss him, to cook for him and laugh with him and tell him bad jokes for as long as I can.
“I love you. I can’t promise you forever, because we both know that’s not a promise anyone can make. But I can promise you every breath and every beat of my heart.”
It’s an engagement ring. My knees turn to jelly, my heart skipping over itself at what this means. It feels soon, maybe too soon, but at the same time, it feels right. So fucking right. Jamie wants to marry me.
Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS TO ME
When I lift it to the light and read the engraving, my heart stops. Air ceases to exist in my lungs and I swear the rumble of thunder that sounds through our flat is the sound of my soul breaking in two.
Jamie was never mine to have. Jamie was always Cooper’s. Jamie and Cooper. Forever and Always. The ring sits heavy in my hand. It could be a bullet for how badly it’s torn through me.
“I wanted your heart, Jamie. I wanted you to love me the way you loved him. No! Fuck it. I wanted you to love me more than you loved him.” “I do,” Jamie cries. “I love you so much, in ways I never loved Cooper.”
“When I saw the ring, I knew I’d say yes.” I choke on the words. “Because I saw the rest of my life with you, but what if you were only ever made to love him?”
“What if I was made to love you both? At different times and in different ways. What if everything we’ve done and been through since the day we met was to bring us to right here, to this moment where I love you more than anything and you love me in return?”
“I miss you, Coop.” My voice croaks. “I learned how to live without you.” I smile through the painful confession. “I think you would be proud of me. I’m sorry if I hurt you. But I’m not sorry I fell in love with him.”
“While he may have once been my world, you are my entire universe. You are the sun, and the moon, and every cosmic space between. You are the greatest thing to ever happen to me, and the greatest love I have ever known.”
“Hmmm, I like the idea of my name on your skin.” He sucks the spot, then releases the skin with a pop. “My name on your chest, my marks on your neck.” Jamie's hand comes between us, smoothing over my rapidly growing cock. “My cum in your stomach.”
