Kindle Notes & Highlights
Every single one of my roommates has a partner, and all I have is stupid anxiety.
Derek is my angel. The nurse who’s always there to deal with my stupidity. I hate him seeing me during a meltdown while simultaneously craving his presence. When things get too loud and overwhelming, he’s there. He’s my calm, my anchor, and I’m confident I’m head over heels in love with him.
I ache for that kind of love. For being so close to the other person that I need to find them, even in my sleep.
My thoughts drift to Derek and his gorgeous face and the way he both gives my heart little wings and makes me want to poke out his eyes, all at the same time. Emotions are complex, do not recommend.
I’m supposed to be sexually active and a total deviant and be all nom nom for the cock. I don’t think I’m doing the right kind of gagging over it.
Now, normally, I do my best to be sweet Xander. Like a puppy. Or a kitten. If I’m cute, people will want to keep me. But I never learned how to share as a child, and now, a filthy little gremlin lives inside me. And seeing that man’s hands on Derek? The gremlin is activated.
Because Derek is my real-life Prince Charming. Now, if only he’d do that part where he sweeps me off my feet.
“I’ve been waiting my whole life for you. Just you. I’m not going anywhere.”
“Seven, Molly, Madden, Rush, Christian, Gabe. Those men are all in your life. You’re not alone anymore, Xander. You’re not waiting for your person. You’ve found them.” His pink tongue swipes over his lips. “And you?” “I’m already yours in all the ways I can be.”
“Thank you for waiting for me,” he whispers. “I’m going to spend forever proving I was worth it.” Derek doesn’t need to though. “Dare-bear, I’ve always known.”
