Kindle Notes & Highlights
I suppose thinking we could keep our relationship a secret was naive. Merely wishful thinking. When you loved someone the way we loved each other, it was impossible to hide. It showed in every way.
Love is in the details. It’s in the everyday. It’s the way you treat someone when they aren’t even looking and the way they fill your head when you’re apart.
“He’s already fucked up enough right now. If you can’t offer him the brother he needs tonight, I won’t let you in that room.” Romeo’s lips curved up into a knowing, almost pleased expression. “He pissed you off so bad you put your hand through a wall and he’s pushing you away, yet here you are, standing guard at the door, protecting him.”
“You don’t. But you are a total alpha male and you know it.” “All the men in this house are,” he retorted. “Maybe, but I think we both know you’re number one.” “Have you met my wife? She totally runs me.” I laughed. It was so true. Rimmel was less than half his size, and he was totally wrapped around her little finger.
“You don’t turn your back on love.” He went on without missing a beat. “Love isn’t easy, not for anyone, but you don’t push it away. You hold even tighter.”
I took a few shuddering breaths, trying to calm my strained chest as my eyes locked on him and refused to let go. He was so incredibly good-looking. A visual representation of everything I could ever dream of, all wrapped up in one blue-eyed, dimpled, scruffy-jawed package.
“Can we just forget it all tonight?” His voice was weary. He sounded exactly the way I felt. “Can it just be like it was before, at least until morning?” “How was it, Forrester?” I whispered. A glutton for punishment. That was me. I knew exactly what it was like between us. It was being a part of something so much bigger than yourself. It was that feeling of rightness a person got when something settled in their gut. This wasn’t going to make anything any easier. It would only make it harder. “It was complete.”
My tongue caressed its way down his taint and then circled around his puckered hole. His legs went stiff, and I licked again, this time fully, completely over his entrance. My name broke through the silence of the room, and I stroked his cock again. On either side of my head, his legs began to tremble, and I took it as a sign to keep going.
I wouldn’t lie. It certainly made me curious as to what it would feel like to have Trent breach my body. The more I thought about it, the more intimate it seemed. No one had ever been inside me before, not like that. But I wanted it. I wanted to be inside him, too. I wanted the honor of being the one person on this earth he trusted enough to let inside. Inside his body. Inside his heart.
Trent’s laugh was deep as his palm settled over my jaw and rubbed at my stubble. He wasn’t kidding when he said he liked it. I’d never been one to keep the scruff very long, usually shaving for work, but not anymore. Anything tempted him to touch me was going to stay.
don’t mind me..just highlighting anytime Drew’s scruff is mentioned 👀 I love Trent’s little obsession with it
Drew and I were stronger together. I was stronger with him than I would ever be apart. He gave me strength. I gained courage from his love.
“I’ve… I opened up a part of myself that was so private it physically hurt, the deepest place I feel things, the place where my most exposed feelings lie. That cost me a lot, Forrester, and I was scared. You are the biggest risk I’m ever going to take, so when you say you love me, it’s the biggest reward I’ll ever know.”
“Don’t ever underestimate the power you have over me, frat boy. I promise you I’m just as powerless when it comes to you.”
“You smell like leather,” I murmured, tucking in just a little closer. I had to get my feels in while I could get ‘em. “You smell like home.”
“I already did.” I yanked my gaze from the older man and looked at Trent. “There’s no choice.”
“What’s going on in here?” Rimmel said, entering the kitchen with Romeo right behind her. “Oh, nothing. Just Trent and Drew making out,” Braeden announced. “Oh, and Justin Bieber is here.” “I’m changing my hair,” Arrow muttered, which launched Ivy into a full-on lecture about the latest hair trends for men.
What were the odds really? What were the odds I’d meet someone who not only was a friend, but then had the capacity and the open heart to become my everything else?
