Kindle Notes & Highlights
I needed everyone at Hallow Ranch to have mercy on me even though I didn’t deserve it.
“Why did you leave my Beau?”
“You left him,” Jigs murmured, ignoring me. “You left my boy, and I just…Sweetheart, I need to know if it was because of me.”
“This cabin was supposed to be for you and me, Abbie. It was our wedding gift from my father.”
My wildflower deserved to live a life without fear, without worry. She deserved to live the life I promised her.
You were never good enough for her, Beau.
“Your life is in danger! This man came into your home! He is familiar with it—” “Stop slut shaming me.”
“Let me clue you in on something: just because a woman wears men’s clothing doesn’t mean she slept with someone to obtain them. For your information, Beau, I like sleeping in big shirts.”
“I can’t stand the thought of you in danger,” I murmured. “I can’t stand knowing that someone invaded your private life and took something precious from you.”
“Something precious?” she parroted softly. “Your intimacy,” I clarified.
She’s yours, Beau. Always has been.
But fuck, I needed her.
She was mine; she’d always been mine, and even though I wasn’t good enough for her, I would always be hers.
“You come any closer, mistakes will be made, Wildflower.”
“Because that woman is still in love with you.”
“Abbie didn’t leave you because of you. She didn’t leave you because of her, either.”

“You still love me, don’t you, gorgeous?”
“Beau?”
“Hey, Wildflower,”
“I love it when you call me that.”
“Know that,”
“Know everything about you, baby. Inside and out.”
“You’re the only person who does,”
“Even in my dreams, you feel real.”
“You think this is a dream?”
“I only get to kiss you in my dreams, Beau.”
“Kiss me, Beau. Kiss me like you do every night. Make me forget.”
“Abbie, baby, look at me,”
“You don’t want me?”
“Oh, I want you, and this isn’t a goddamn dream,”
“Beau,”
I didn’t have control anymore. I was ready to fuck her right here and now. We could worry about the other bullshit later. “You know how long it’s been?”
“Haven’t been with anyone either, Abbie. That little piece of heaven between your legs is the...

“You feel so good on top of me,”
“God, I missed it, your weight pinning me down.”
“Your hand not good enough for you, Wildflower? Need a cowboy holding you down to come, hmm?”
“Yes,”
That was the thing about my girl. She was as wild as they came, fierce and strong, but in the bedroom, sh...

“This feel like a fuckin’ dream, baby?”
“Dreams don’t feel this good,
do they?”
“T-touch me,”
“Please, God, touch me.” “Name’s not God, baby,”

None of that could happen until she gave in to me.
