Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s over. It’s been over for two years. He’s wrong. If it was over, then what the hell has this entire trip been? The sex. The kiss. The need to hold me. We aren’t done.
“You’re doing so good, Freckles,” I say, kissing below her ear as I thrust harder. My voice is shaky, but I keep praising her. “Taking it so fucking well.”
She’s like my own sunrise. Beautiful. Perfect. She fills a part of me that’s been empty and dark for as long as I can remember.
Our initials intertwined and distorted to make them unrecognisable, with the words so small and vine-like, not even Stacey knows that they say “I choose who I love, and I choose you”.
I’d give it all up for Stacey.
You’re so fucking strong, Stacey. You’re a fighter. You’re okay. You’re okay.”
It’s like a mixture of love and not being able to breathe unless she’s around – thoughts that run wild wondering what she’s doing, where she is, if she’s thinking of me. It’s the butterflies that flutter like maniacs when I know I’m going to see her soon.
“Because I love you. I’ve been in love with you for ages – it’s been all I’ve thought about. And I keep falling more in love with you every single fucking day.”
“Make them go away, Freckles.” “Make what go away?” I manage to ask. “The voices.”
“I need you,” he whispers against my throat as he nips at the skin there. “I need to know you’re real. I need to know you’re alive.”
Kade: Run and hide. Unless you want everyone to witness me fucking you? Having an audience won’t stop me – I’ll take you in front of the entire party.
“Ty moy, Vesnushki.”
“Always such a good girl when you’re on your knees for me. Taking every inch, your throat welcoming me home.”
“You cheated on me a month after we lost our daughter. Not with just anyone either. You screwed Jason. My big brother. No matter how many times we fuck, I will never ever fucking forgive you.”
Because not only is she my weakness, but she’s also my strength – my main reason for continuing, the air to my fucking lungs.
I mark her throat as I whisper the words. “There’ll be no other ending for us, Freckles, because you’re fucking it for me.” Fuck. After tomorrow night, I get to have it all. I’ll finally have all of her.
If I die, at least I’ll get to be with my angel.
“I n-never stopped loving you.” My heart is fucking sore, but I need to get this last part out. I know I’m dying. But the only thing I’m worried about is her getting the fuck away from those evil pricks. “I will… will always lo-love you, Freckles. Go, live your life and be free. Meet someone who can tr-treat you ri-ight. For-for-forget me.” I can’t hear anything, not even my heartbeat.
“You’ll beg for death, but you aren’t allowed to die, my sweet boy. I’m not done with you yet.”
Look at me now, my little princess. Daddy’s gone, and he’s never coming back.
A contract came in earlier for us to take out a family – husband, wife, little ten-month-old girl and their live-in babysitter, and I’ve been trying everything to avoid it.
The father I always wanted, needed and will keep forever, regardless of my position with his son.
“Can you just fucking behave for one minute? Do you want her to get you? I might not be your knight in shining armour, but I’m the only person able to keep you safe. I’ll give you my word that I won’t touch you. I’ll promise not to even think about it. But in return, I need you to let me keep you hidden without fighting me on it – preferably keeping you alive in the process.”
I throw my head back and laugh. “He’s the son of Tobias Mitchell. He doesn’t need help.”
