Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I need you.” The words come out in a cracked whisper, and I barely catch him as Kayce slumps into my arms.
My entire fucking heart is ready to explode when he immediately places a kiss against my chest. The first thing he does when waking up from a bad dream is to curl into me. To feel safe enough to give me that. If I didn’t already know that I’ve got both feet in this thing with him, that just sealed it for me.
I love being at his side. I love being the person he can turn to. I’m in love with him.
“You never knew I found you sleeping on the floor outside my bedroom the day after that.”
I can remember slumping to the ground that night in front of his door, with a bruise forming around my eye as I stayed there on guard for hour after hour.
“I’ll always be here to protect you.”
“You’re right here in my goddamn heart, baby.”
“This is where you are. No matter whether you piss me off, or leave me ready to toss you over my shoulder, or be so goddamn in love with you I don’t know how to breathe. That’s who you are. You’re better than this, and I believe that you’ll figure out you’re worthy of being loved by someone one day. Trust that I’m gonna be out there hoping like hell you might want that guy to be me.”
“To me, you are. To me . . . you are magnificent.”
