Kindle Notes & Highlights
“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.”
“There wouldn’t be any other ride you’d need.” I mean every single fucking word.
A perfect storm of never feeling good enough, while also refusing to be seen as weak for needing anyone’s help.
I can’t even say the words out loud—of pulling up in the truck and seeing her looking like my every dirty fucking fantasy standing in the water damn near naked.
She’s got me going out of my head with a feral need to fuck and own and show this girl what she does to me. My pawing and grabbing at her is fierce and determined. I’m not lying when I say I need her. It’s driven me beyond the point of no return.
“Please. Make a fucking mess of me.”
The laugh Sage lets out is a sound I want to drink down every single morning for the rest of my life.
“You’re in my veins, Sage.” The confession comes out of me, firm and resolute.
Fisting my hat, I reach forward and place it on her head. Seeing it there, hell, that unlocks something purely possessive inside me. I’ve never in my life felt this kind of unhinged, immediate urgency for another person.
“I’ve heard a rumor you bull riders get extra feral seeing your hat on a gal. Want ‘em knocked up real quick.”
“You’re my sunset sky, baby. Bright and mysterious and beautiful all at the same time.”
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.
“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 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 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.”
“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.”
