Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You—You can just call me Beau, you know.” “I do… but this game is much more fun.”
Goddamn, what is it about this girl that makes me feel so drawn to her spark and flare that is so uniquely her.
Damn, the quiet ones really do get you.
“Christ, Heartford, you’ve got the world’s biggest fucking blanket over there; quit being a selfish bastard, and share with Sage.”
“I might be a little out of practice now, but in another lifetime, I would have been able to show you the ride of your goddamn life.”
“In another life, huh?”
“There wouldn’t be any other ride you’d need.”
“Where has this big game suddenly come from, cowboy?”
“I said I was a bit out of practice, baby. Not that I didn’t know what I was doing.”
“What are you gonna do? Put me over your knee?” “You’re not a child,” I grunt. “No, I’m not.” Her tongue runs slowly over her bottom lip as she studies me and reads me like a fucking book. “But I am a hot-blooded woman who very much enjoys being treated to a spank or ten by someone who knows how to handle me.”
“You captivate me, Sage. You capture me.”
A perfect storm of never feeling good enough, while also refusing to be seen as weak for needing anyone’s help.
“And the prettiest girl I’ve ever laid eyes on, who video calls me when I’m all alone in my hotel room.”
“You should come with a fucking warning.”
“I can’t fight this, baby. I’m not supposed to crave you, but I can’t find any more reasons not to.”
You don’t always have to be the one to hold tight. You deserve to have a safe place to let go. It doesn’t make you any less strong, Sage.”
“Take me the fuck to bed, Beau Heartford.”
“Baby, there’s no getting you out of my system.”
“You’d better not be complimenting another man while drooling over my cock… not while imagining me tapping the back of your throat.”
“You’re gonna milk me dry, aren’t you? A slut who wants to be dicked down and filled with my cum so badly you’re out here being a fucking cock tease.”
“You’re my sunset sky, baby. Bright and mysterious and beautiful all at the same time.”
“For that piercing of yours, cowboy? I’m always a good little slut.”
“I just want it to be me and you, baby. I need it to just be the two of us.”
My girl just needs me to hold her and take care of her. That’s what she needs. So that’s what I give over. Along with my entire goddamn heart, in secret.
This cowboy was certainly not in my five-year business plan.
“I’m going to show you that nothing could keep me away from you. I’m going to prove to you that being without you is the thing that rips all the joy away. It’s fucking misery not having you in my arms, and I’d walk away from this entire ranch, burn every single thing down right now. All you have to do is ask.”
This is me giving you my entire fucking soul so you can do your worst—tear it to pieces if you decide that’s what you want.”
“Baby, I’m beyond caring about the rules. I’ve played by them my entire goddamn life, and all it brought me was heartache.”
“This is the only good thing… you are the only good thing… so you’d better damn well wear my hat, shut up, and take my dick like my perfect little slut.”
“You’re my future, Sage Maloney.”
“You and I? We’re end game, baby.” Then he shoots his arm forward to block the driver’s side so I can’t climb into the truck. “I’m in love with you, Sage.”
“Baby, when you’re ready... only you will know when that is… if those stars ever align, come and find me in that sunset sky.”
Life ain’t worth doing if it’s without her, and if that means I gotta start living life on the road again, then hell, I’m about to beg someone to give me a job on this tour just so I don’t have to spend another minute without my girl.”
But I’m here to get the girl back. The one who truly owns my heart.”
Right now? I can stand here with my boots in this dirt and tell you I’m terrified of how life might look if you never came back to me, Sage.”
“Baby, you are my weakness, my trouble, and this aching heartbeat right here.”
“My heart has been in your hands this entire time, Sage. It doesn’t belong to me anymore. It’s yours, baby. You deserve a man who is rock steady, who knows himself, and is prepared to take responsibility for his flaws. So here I am, fucking flawed as all hell, but trying to do better every day, begging you to come back to me.”
“I’m not looking for an imaginary fairytale… I’m here for my dream girl, who burns hot and bright in my veins, and makes everything come back to life.”
“I’m offering to give you everything, trouble. For as long as you’ll have me.”
