The Guy on the Right (The Underdogs, #1)

by Kate Stewart

Be patient, you’ve got to wait for the right tide to test the waters.”

I’ve got a smut-filled brain, no doubt due to the deprivation.

She’s a second look kind of girl. The first look at her is for simple appreciation for the stunner she is. The second look is a realization of what an idiot you were for not looking longer the first time around.

Everyone should do something bat shit crazy once in a while, it’s good for the soul.

I lean down and kiss her cheek before slowly pulling away. Her eyes widen before she smiles. “What was that for?” “Existing.”

I might’ve fallen slowly, but I just landed impossibly deep.

We’re polar opposites in some ways. I’m too country, and he’s a whole lot of everything else. We shouldn’t fit, but we do, and our fit is nothing short of spectacular.

“You want a pain killer?” “I’ve got one, I’m staring at her.”

Don’t go trying to find the pretty in ugly people. That’s like saving your sunshine for shit. Even in better light, it’s still a glowing turd.

“Jesus must have been celebrating his birthday really big last night because he sure as hell didn’t take the wheel the two thousand times I screamed his name!”

And that’s when the thud happens. There’s no way I can fall any further. I love her.

This is where I come in, Laney. Right here, when it’s scary, and I can be there to comfort you and ride it out with you. So, yeah, I would rather die in a fucking tornado than know you’re scared and alone in that house without me.”

If a man makes you smile, he’s worth it. If he makes you cry, that’s when you know he’s worth a whole lot more to you.

If he’s worth a damn, and he knows you’re worth it, he’ll come for you. And you don’t have to make it easy on him.”
