Kindle Notes & Highlights
I let out an awkward breath before glancing over to the bleachers where the moms sat. Jax would call them cougars, and Madoc would just call them.
Oh Madoc
Madoc let out a bitter laugh. “Take off your pants.” I popped my head up. “Why?” “Because I want to see what a man with a pussy looks like.”
I love them
At ten years old, Jared was my friend. At fourteen, my enemy; at eighteen, my lover; and at twenty, my heartbreak.
Ughhhhh
I’m a better man, but there’s never been a better woman for me. There’s never been anyone like you, he texted.
😭
“Everywhere you kiss her,” Jared belted out to us from behind—and I noticed bystanders turning to look—“just remember that my tongue was there first.”
HELLO
“Challenge accepted, Tatum. This time I don’t want you hurt,” he continued, his breath falling over me as he got in my face, “and I don’t want you small. I just want you. Do you hear me?” He jerked me into his body. “It will be my ring on your finger and my kids in your belly someday.”
😭😭
“A man who stands in front of a woman does nothing more than block her view. She needs a man standing next to her, so grow up.”
Damn Jared’s mom calling him out!
“I’m never letting you go again, Tate,” I whispered, almost desperate. “I’m your friend forever, and if that’s all I get, then that’s what I’m taking, because only when you’re here”—I took her hand and placed it on my heart—“do I feel like my life is worth a damn.”
Omggggg
He shot me his little know-it-all smirk, and I jerked when he brushed his palm over my ass and then walked past me, out the front door. Leaning down, he gave Fallon a peck on the forehead. “Your timing sucks,” he grumbled and walked past her.
Hah! I love him actually calling our Fallon for interrupting
You tell the guy you’re dating that your boyfriend’s back.
Madoc has the best advice
I exist as I am, that is enough. Right there, my quote inscribed over his heart. Happy tears sprang to my eyes. I couldn’t believe it. He’d remembered the poem.
The. Tears.
“We’re your brothers, little girl,” Jax cooed. “Yeah.” Madoc laughed. “You’re so screwed.”
Omg yeah she is. And also TEARS.
“Good God,” he whined, turning around and looking like he ate something bad. “I think I lost a testicle listening to this.” And then he turned back around, ordering over his shoulder, “You’re not proposing.” “But, sweetheart,” I yelled, catching the others’ attention. “You love it when I’m alpha.”
Tate and Jared FOREVER.
Madoc leaned in, his mouth inches from mine. “Mmmm, you smell good,” he purred. I jerked back, wincing. “Get off me,” I grumbled, shoving him away, and he hunched over, his face turning red from laughing so hard.
Madoc and Jared forever too!
“As my friend, I liked you,” I whispered. “As my enemy, I craved you. As a fighter, I loved you, and as my wife”—I slid the ring the rest of the way on—“I keep you.” I squeezed her hand. “Forever,” I promised.
Literally cried for the rest of the book
“When you left me the first time, I was devastated,” she said, speaking of when we were fourteen. “And when you left me the second time, I was defiant. But both times I regret,” she admitted, keeping her voice low. “I always fought with you instead of fighting for you, and if I commit to doing one thing differently for the rest of our lives, Jared”—she inhaled a deep breath, steadying her voice—“it would be to make sure you always know that I will fight for you.” She blinked, sending more tears down her cheeks. “Forever.”
So many tears
But Dylan Trent was a daddy’s girl, and heaven help him when she started wanting boyfriends and late curfews instead of candy and toys.
Dylan!!! I’m going to have a daughter named Dylan and this made me so happy.
Madoc’s eyes rounded. “Keep them away?” he said, surprised. “Your little . . . ,” he gritted through his teeth but then stopped. Stepping up to cover Dylan’s ears, he whispered to Jared, “I love her. I absolutely do, but she’s a viper, dude,” he growled low. “She filled her water gun with toilet water and was shooting them with it!”
Oooo she’s fiesty!!!
“You do realize that Hawke, Kade, Hunter, Dylan, and Quinn will all be in high school at the same time, right?” I said, foreseeing a very tumultuous future ahead of us. “For at least two years out of the four?” I reminded him.
