Kindle Notes & Highlights
he’d transferred from the USA, and other than his irritating habit of referring to football as “soccer,” he was a talented player who worked well with the rest of the team.
He stared at me in silence for a moment. Then he gave me his signature blinding smile, and my heart skipped a beat. “That ain’t the only thing that’s big about me, baby.”
Raine, wrecked after the orgasm I’d given her. Kissing me. Distracting me on the big wheel. If Cassius had seen her the way I had…if anyone else had seen her the way I had, they’d want her, too.
“Go on, squeeze.” She taunted me with her words. “Does it make you feel good to know you can choke me? Leave bruises on my skin? Overpower me just because you’re bigger than me?” “Raine…” My grip tightened. “Do it.”
I reached up and lightly gripped Carter’s jaw, my fingers shaking slightly. Turning his head, I whispered in his ear. “What are you doing? You don’t want me, remember?” Then, I flicked my tongue across his ear.
“Raine…” His fingers tightened on my thigh. I wanted him to mark me, to leave bruises so I had a visual reminder of what he’d done to me. Did that make me messed up?
“I’m not gonna be rough with you tonight.” Placing a reassuring kiss to the side of my face, he ran his finger through my wetness, rubbing over my clit. “I like your roughness,” I admitted, my voice the quietest whisper. “I know you do. You have a dark side, don’t you, my little trickster?”
When I could no longer keep my eyes open, I felt a soft kiss on my head, and then he slipped away. Hope was a dangerous thing, as I soon found out. Everything had changed, but nothing had changed.
He’d be fucking lucky to have her. I’d be fucking lucky to have her. What was I doing? I wanted Raine Laurent. I wanted her to be mine. The revelation seared straight through me,
I needed to check out what exactly was going on with Raine and Cassius Drummond. And then…then, I needed to come up with a plan to make Raine Laurent realise that she was mine.
“I’m sorry. So sorry. I want you. I want to be with you. Only you.” His words were quiet but spoken with so much intensity that I had no doubt he meant them. “You want me?” “So fucking much. If you can forgive me. I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I’m shamelessly hoping you feel the same way about me and want to give me another chance.”
Raine. I knew she was important to me, but until that moment, I didn’t realise how much. I’d burn the world down for her.
“Besides, it’ll make it even better. The wait, knowing that later you’ll be getting to do all the dirty, depraved things to me that you want to do.” “How will that make it better? It’s torture.” “Delayed gratification.” She shrugged. “And you say I’m the sadistic one in this relationship.”
“I can’t help it. Now I’m allowed to, I just want to torture you like you tortured me for months.” She released her grip, and I tugged her into my arms, palming her ass. “I’ve created a monster.” “Yeah, you have.” Not that I was complaining.
Her breath was still coming in pants, but I could feel the excitement coming off her. She loved this. The fear, the thrill of the chase, then the moment when I’d strike without warning.
Releasing her, I let the anticipation build, her body thrumming against mine, ready to fly. Then, pressing my mouth to her ear, I rasped the word she’d been waiting for. “Run.”
