Kindle Notes & Highlights
The last thing I expected was to fall in love in the process, but one thing is abundantly clear. I’m head over heels for Maddox Dane, and I’m tired of having to hide it from the world.
I just need her to know that I’m all in on us, and that giving me a chance is the best decision she’s ever made. Soon enough, I’ll shout from the rooftops that I’m in love with Olivia Grant. But for now, I just want to escape reality and whisper the words I somehow haven’t blurted out yet, so she understands exactly what she means to me.
“Olivia, I would go to the moon to make you happy, and I’d love every fucking minute of it. The fact that you even feel comfortable and safe enough with me to do any of the things on your list is something I don’t take lightly. Everything you’ve allowed me to experience with you has been a privilege, and
I would love nothing more than to give you something to look back on when you want to remember this night. Understood?”
“Please make me come. I’m already so close.” “Oh, you will, Dimes,” I taunt. “Again and again, until your body gives out. I plan on fucking you until you’re completely spent and there isn’t an inch of your body that isn’t dripping with my release.”
“Look at you,” he says, the words coming out on a harsh exhale. “Taking it in that sweet, wet hole like you were made for it. Open wide and let me use you so I can cover your pretty face in my cum.”
“Tongue out,” he commands. I comply immediately, watching in awe as I await my reward. He never takes his eyes off mine, reaching out with his free hand and cupping my face as he jerks one last time, grunting loudly. The first rope of cum paints my cheek, the hot, thick liquid running down my skin. He shifts his hips, unloading more onto my forehead before emptying the rest into my open mouth. I whimper desperately, so turned on by the taste and smell of him that I can barely even focus on staying upright as he rides out the rest of his orgasm. “So fucking beautiful,” he exhales, gathering his

“Is that tiny little cunt of yours aching for me, baby?” he asks, his tone soft and mocking. “Does she need to be stretched around my thick cock, soaking it like the desperate slut she is?” He smirks,
His chest heaves with heavy breaths, and even though we’re both still basking in the afterglow of our releases, he braces his large hands on the backs of my thighs and pushes his still-hard length inside me. I moan softly, taking every inch of him like I was made to do it—because I was. My walls hug him tightly as he slides in to the hilt, a steady, satisfied exhale falling from his lips. “Fuck, Liv,” he whispers. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” she says on a rushed breath, the words bursting from her lungs as though she’s been holding them in as long as I have. A gorgeous, relieved smile blooms across her face, tears filling her big blue eyes as she stares up at me. My head rears back, caught completely off guard not only by the fact that she heard and believes my words, but reciprocates them. She fucking loves me back.
“Say it again, baby,” I beg. “Say it while I push inside.” She takes a shaky inhale, slowly letting it out before repeating the words. “I love you, Maddox.” I don’t waste another second, thrusting forward and burying myself right where I belong. I’ve fucked this woman so many times, but I can already feel the shift. With just a single sentence, our lives have changed forever. In this moment, connected to one another—mind, body, and soul—I’m surer than ever that Olivia Grant is mine. “I love you so much, Dimes,” I echo, pulling back and plunging forward, setting a slow, gentle pace as I seal my

“There she is,” I praise. “Does that feel good, baby? Are you going to come? I can feel that tiny little pussy getting ready to explode.” “Mhmm,” she whimpers, nodding her head as her eyes begin to flutter closed. “Please, don’t stop.” “I’ll never stop, Liv,” I promise. “Just give in for me. Show me what a sweet girl you are.”
“I didn’t want you to find out how I felt like that. You deserved better than some hormone-driven admission while your arms and legs were cuffed to each other. But I couldn’t hold it in any longer, Liv. I love you so fucking much.”
was everything. To be honest, it’s a miracle I wasn’t the first to blurt it out—I’ve been struggling not to tell you the same thing for weeks. So what if I have dried cum on my forehead?” she jokes, reaching up and running her fingers over what’s left of my first release. “We are who we are, and that was perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing.”
“Now, give me my checkmarks. Both of them.” “Actually,” she replies,
“You get three.”
“What was the third one?” I ask. “And what else haven’t I seen?”
“There was just one thing that you’d have had to scroll down to see, and I probably would’ve throat-punched you if you tried.” Intrigued, I raise a brow, daring her to show me what I missed. She taps her pink fingernail against the screen several times, then turns the phone to where I sit beside her. “Make him fall in love with me,” I say, reading the words as my heart flips behind my rib cage. My gaze lifts to hers, her bright blue eyes shining with emotion. My expression softens, and I take her face in my palm, ghosting my thumb along the warm skin. “Best checkmark I’ll ever earn, baby. But

“Whatever happens next—no matter what anyone thinks or says about us being together—we’re going to be okay. I’ll always protect you, alright?”
“You’re getting your—” She pauses, lowering her voice. “Maddox, what the fuck? You can’t do this.” She looks terrified, as if she’s the one that’s about to get a needle pushed through her most sensitive body part, making me chuckle as I hop onto the table and lie back. It’s not reclined all the way, so I can see the panic in her eyes as she hurries to my side. She goes to speak, likely in protest of my choice to do this, but I cut her off. “I have two checkmarks left, Dimes. There’s no way in hell we aren’t finishing off your list, and I’m definitely not letting you ride someone else’s pierced

My heart is so full of love for this girl that it might actually explode, and I’m counting down the hours until I can finally shout it from the rooftops. Because after the last two days and seeing how she’s fit in with the other important people in my life, I’m surer than ever that we’re endgame.
I step forward, backing Livvy into the wall as our kiss grows frantic, her head shaking in protest as she attempts to break away. “Maddox, no,” she breathes. “You have to
go.” Her words are telling me one thing, but her body says another when I unfasten her jeans and dive my hand inside her thin lace panties. “Shut the fuck up,” I order, her hips bucking to meet my fingers when they press to her swollen bundle of nerves. I rub in quick, soft circles, a needy whimper tumbling from her lips in response. Silencing her with another kiss, I hump into her like a feral animal. I sink inside her warm, wet heat, curling my fingers forward and hitting the spot that drives her wild. Adrenaline courses through my veins as her inner walls begin to tighten, her impending

“I love you. Have a great game. And congrats on another checkmark, because I’m definitely counting this as sex in public.” “Damn right, you are,” I shoot back with a cocky smirk. “I love you too.”
“Let’s fuck,” I pant. “Like, right now.” My clit throbs between my legs as I grind over his length, the thought of finally feeling his piercing inside me making me clench around nothing. I reach down, pulling at the waistband of his gray sweatpants, but he wraps his fingers around mine, holding me still. “Wait,” he says, his gravelly voice causing me to pull back.
“What’s wrong?”
“Something happened at the game yesterday…with Deacon.” I stiffen immediately, worry filling my expression as he runs his hands up and down my thighs in a soothing gesture. “I took care of it, but I don’t want us having any secrets, so I need to tell you everything.”
“Okay.” “First of all,” he begins, “I just want you to know that I’d never go looking for trouble without a good reason. But I’ll do whatever it takes to protect you, consequences be damned. I would burn this entire world to the ground if it meant removing any threats from your path, Liv. I’ll never let you down.”
“You’re scaring me,”
“Don’t be scared. I promise it’s going to be fine.” Leaning forward, he brushes his lips against mine, settling back into the cushions before he continues. “During the first half, Deacon was fucking with me—attempting to get in my head. I don’t know if he was trying to get me to fight him again or if he just wanted to break my concentration, but I was succeeding at blocking it out until he said he had an old iPad of yours.”
“Fuck,” I gasp. “I’m so sorry.” Panic grips at my throat, my eyes filling with tears as I stare blankly at him.
“They’re going to think you…” I choke out,
“I have to fix it.” I shake my head rapidly, fear squeezing my lungs so tightly, I can barely breathe. “Shhh. Calm down, baby. It’s okay,” he says softly, garnering my attention with two hands cupping my cheeks. My vision blurs, drops of moisture overflowing from my eyes as he quickly brushes them away. He shakes his head, a warm, reassuring smile melting across his face. “The guys and I paid him a visit last night. Your iPad is safe and sound in my bag. It’s all yours to do whatever you want with, and you don’t have to worry about him talking. Thanks to Theo, we have enough dirt on your ex to

“I’ll always keep you safe,” he promises. “I’d fucking die before I ever let anyone hurt you.”
“I love you so much,” I whisper, dropping my forehead to his. He breathes me in,
“You’re everything to me. I love you.” I swallow each proclamation like I’m starving and it’s the only sustenance for miles, surrendering to his touch as he slides me back and forth over his hardening erection. As it often does with us, the emotional moment blooms into so much more, heavy breaths filling the air around us as sparks of electricity pass between our writhing bodies. I moan, every nerve ending on high alert, suddenly desperate to feel the weight of his cock inside me. “Maddox, I need you.” The plea falls from my lips in a rush, but before he can even answer, I feel a vibration

“Somewhere along the way, I fell in love. It wasn’t part of the plan—in fact, we pinky promised on it—but you’ve met Livvy. So, you know that I didn’t really have a choice in the matter. She’s smart, kind, funny, beautiful, and easily the best coach I’ve ever worked with. My heart didn’t stand a chance once I fell into her orbit. I’m a better man today because she gave me a shot, and I promise to never stop showing you that I’m not only worthy of leading your team, but also of loving your daughter.” My free hand shoots up over my mouth, tears flowing freely as he wraps his strong arms around

“I appreciate your honesty, Dane,” my dad begins. “I certainly have no intentions of telling you to stay away from Olivia. It’s clear that you care for her very deeply, and all I’ve ever wanted was for my daughters to find someone who gives them the love they deserve. However,”—his words sober us as we anticipate the worst—“you both knowingly undermined my coaching staff, disrespecting everything this organization stands for. I can’t, in good conscience, let this behavior slide without involving Coach Hendricks. Your consequences going forward will be up to him and anyone else he feels should

“If he wants to bench you, that’ll be his call.” He turns to me. “And if he wants to prohibit you from being present during practices and games until you’ve rebuilt his trust, I’m afraid my hands are tied.”
“Sweet, greedy baby,” he says, lips pressed to my ear. “So desperate to be filled. You know I could never deny you, right? Not only will I give you everything you ask for…” he pauses, breaching the tight ring of muscle and continuing until I’ve taken his entire finger, “but I’ll make it better than you ever thought possible.”
Olivia Grant is my forever, and I can’t wait to see where this crazy life brings us next.
