Dirty Like Seth (Dirty, #3)

by Jaine Diamond

But as time passed, I’d come to the realization that I actually hadn’t done anything wrong in that relationship. I was just me, and that wasn’t what he wanted. I didn’t need anyone to forgive me for that.

“Before, all I wanted was to get Dirty back.” His eyes met mine again. “But now… I just want to keep playing. This… getting to play with you like this… it’s a fucking dream come true for me.”

“You were the platinum goddess of rock, Elle. I was an orphan and a junkie.”

All you need is a man who wants to be your man, and wants it hard. Not a man who wants you to be something you’re not. Not a man who wants you hanging on the line, adoring him, for his own shits and giggles. You need a man who wants to be Elle’s man, period. Who’ll do whatever it takes to be your man. No more games. No more bullshit. It’s time for the real deal.”

“Because,” he said, sliding his hands up to cup my face, “when I’m with you, I feel like myself. And somehow, when you look at me, I know that man is enough.” I slipped my arms around his waist and held him tight against me. “That’s because I love you, Seth.” Tears sparked in his gray-green eyes. “Why?” “Because… when I’m with you… I feel like everything’s going to be okay. Even when it’s not.”
