Kindle Notes & Highlights
I shot back, heading for Logan, “You hit like a two-day-old kitten, Rome. You’d have better luck sneezing on him.” He groaned. “I should. That’s my new weapon if someone gets in my face. Watch out. Here come my germs.”
I didn’t know why I enjoyed these moments. I had no support—or little support. The odds were stacked against me. Most people would run the other way, not seek it out. As the crowd parted and Sebastian stepped through with his A-holes behind him, I was feeling the tingle in me. It was low and spreading fast, but as it rose, it was becoming overpowering. It was the need to fight. Mason didn’t have to fight. He didn’t enjoy fighting, but I did. I loved it. I thrived on it. And right now, I was damn near climaxing.
“I love how you crinkle your nose when you need to tell me something, and you’re scared—like if I smell and you don’t want to hurt my feelings, or earlier tonight, when I knew you wanted time alone with Heather, but you didn’t want to make me feel left out.”
Mason to Sam
“I love how your eyes kind of go wild, and you toss back your head when you’re pissed about something.”
Mason to Sam
“You lift your chin, and you get this look, like you’re going to bulldoze your way through a tornado if you have to. No one’s going to stop you.”
Mason to Sam
“I love how you don’t look at my family with contempt, but you could. You have every right to do so. My mom’s a stuck-up bitch who thinks you’re not good enough for me, but she’s wrong.”
Mason to Sam
“She’s so severely wrong because I’m the one not good enough for you, but she hasn’t figured that out yet.”
Mason to Sam
“I love how you fidget with your shirt or your sleeves when you’re distracted or thinking about your mom.”
Mason to Sam
“And I really love how you love me. Completely. Irrevocably. Overwhelmingly. Selflessly. Unconditionally.”
Mason to Sam
“Because I don’t deserve it, but somehow, I got it, and I will never, ever do anything to lose it.”
Mason to Sam
“Don’t pity me. I’ve got a trust fund in the millions. I’m hoping to go pro football, but if I don’t, I’ll still be fine. I’m best friends with my soul mate and my brother. I’m damn blessed, too. I’m just reminding you that you shouldn’t feel guilty about protecting your family.”
Mason to Sam
“I’m too selfish to let you go, but I’m selfless enough that I will always protect you.” He leaned forward, pressing a kiss to my lips. He breathed there, saying, “Because that’s my job. I will love you. I will take care of you. I will worry about you, and I will do everything in my being to make sure you are okay.”
Mason to Sam
“I know that we’re going into this together. I know we’re equal, but let me protect you. That’s what I’m supposed to do.”
Mason to Sam
“You’re strong, Samantha. You kick ass. You don’t flinch when someone’s coming at you, and you’ll go back. You’ll always go back, no matter the consequences, if it means protecting someone you love. I am lucky to have you. I am lucky that you love me.”
Mason to Sam
