Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You’re really pretty,” I hear myself say, completely unbidden. “Like my horse.”
If the Greek gods did exist, one of them would have scooped up Nate the moment he angled his summer-green eyes in their direction. He’s beautiful.
“Hey, Luke. Hi.” “Hello, you,” Luke responds. Max looks pleased enough to melt into the floor.
“Ay dios mío,” I whisper, closing my eyes. Maybe when I open them he’ll be gone, Luke will be gone, and it’ll just be me and Max. “Nope, not God. Just me, Nate.”
“Creo que tu interés en mí es demasiado bueno para ser verdad y estoy esperando que te des cuenta de que no soy lo suficientemente bueno,”
If you don’t want me to touch you, I’ll just stare longingly at you over the table, instead.
I’m shaky with the realization that I am completely fucked. I don’t want to be friends with Nate. Not even a little bit. Friends is nowhere near good enough.
And right now? I’m committed. If Marcos needs me to wait, I can wait.
Falling in love with Nate was a little like stumbling while walking down a hill. I tried to catch myself, but eventually gravity won.
“You’re mine now,” he whispers.
“You could have been covered in sewage, and even then someone would have needed a crowbar to pry me away from you,” he responds dryly. “No crowbar needed. I mate for life—you’re stuck with me.”
“Claro, amor. ¿De qué te gustaría hablar?” He breathes softly against my neck. “¿Te digo cuánto te adoro?” “I’m going to learn Spanish,” Nate whispers. “Deberías descansar ahora.” I rub my palm in a circular motion over his back. He sighs again, pressing his cheek harder against my shoulder. “Me quedaré despierto para asegurarme que te mantengas calientito.”
He gave me a fucking horse.
“Anything for my husband,” Nate says flippantly, lifting Tuna’s head and turning to keep walking. “Marido,” I repeat under my breath, reaching for Nate’s hand and slipping my fingers between his. It’s not a label I’d ever thought would apply to me, but then again, I never thought living on a ranch in Montana was in my future either.
