Mate (Bride, #2)

by Ali Hazelwood

“You’re the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever seen,” he says simply.

Wow no chill koen

Like he’s complimenting my taste in socks.

I for one have realy cool socks and expect compliments when i show them off

“I’m actually partial to red.” “Like Human blood?” He does not deny it.

What a winner Koen is

He’s not trying to cha-cha real smooth into my life.

lmfao I am using that one

And you may quietly pine after me, if you must.”

Oh good he needed permission

Believe me, a toddler can say it.”

Wow rude

“I meant what I said, killer. This mate thing is about fucking. The part of me that matters isn’t interested in you. Like me, or don’t,” he says kindly. “I really couldn’t care less.”

Ugh stop playing hard to get Koen. You'll love her eventually

I don’t think about how little time I have left to live.

Excuse me

He’s going to take her lies and peel them off one by one. Then he’ll force her to show him what’s underneath.

Agressive koen

She could be hanging out with Lowe’s gut bacteria.

Uh gross

someone gifting him a pet hippopotamus.

Now that would be crazy

And Koen is never, ever going to touch you. Not even if you beg him for it on your knees.”

This chick is rude af

Because every single thing I glanced at, grazed, examined, eyed, or even considered when we were at the grocery store, every single thing I decided to walk past, every single thing I told myself I didn’t need—every single thing has somehow made it here, inside Koen’s house.

God hes so good

“Because it looked like a fucking chair.”

That gave me a good chuckle

“A simple ‘no’ would have sufficed.”

Yeah uh Koen a no would have been good

You are my killer.

Love this

“Before I leave, I think I need to hold you for a minute.”

HEhehehe here hegoes

No.

You think he figured it out

When two people fall in love, how many nights do they spend together, doing absolutely nothing, before they’ve had their fill?

“It’ll just make things worse when you leave.”

Don't piss me off Koen

pretend that we have more than a short time left together.

You better
