Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Enjoying the view, Miss Black?”
“Yeah, Boss Man. You look good on your knees.”
And thank you? A fucking thank you? After we both just completely incinerated each other? With chemistry like that? I don’t think so, Billie.
“How long you been staring at me, Boss Man?” she mutters. “Since day one,” I whisper in her ear. “Take the sappy shit somewhere else, Vaughn.” I snort. “There she is.”
Down is up, left is right, and Vaughn Harding thinks I’m beautiful.
“I don’t want to talk. We’re not friends.” His words are like a paper cut. They sting, but don’t produce any blood. “What I want is you, straddling me, and I don’t let friends do that.”
“No, Billie.” His hands stroke me. “I’m going to eat that perfect pink pussy and then put you back to bed. And tomorrow? Tomorrow all you’re
going to think about is how good you felt with my tongue inside of you.”
Close a high-stakes business deal? No problem. Fire someone? I’m your man. Talk to a girl you like and respect? I guess I’ll just crumble instead.
“Let me redefine that line you keep talking about: you are more than my employee and I am more than your boss. I’m done giving you space that we both don’t want. It’s not at all complicated. You’ll work with me
during the day and underneath me at night. Every night. There will be no tiptoeing. There will be no running. There will be no one else.”
“Eyes open, Billie,” he rumbles as he squeezes my chin and tips it down. “I want you to watch me fuck you.”
What is it about me that is so undesirable? Why does no one
ever choose me? Like really choose me. Even when there’s nothing in it for them. Even when it’s not convenient.”
Your horse is about to run the biggest race of his life, of your life, and you’re still moping around here like Eeyore personified.”
“I love you, Billie. And I’m an idiot. I obviously don’t know much, but I know that both of those statements are true.”
