“I’ll put you down if you can tell me the first twenty digits of pi,” he says casually, only about ten feet from the Escalade. “3.14-I-fucking-hate-you,” she practically screams.
WAIT. MY MAN. i know it's 3.14159265358979323846.i think.... i might've messed up the end digits.
“I’ll put you down if you can tell me the first twenty digits of pi,” he says casually, only about ten feet from the Escalade. “3.14-I-fucking-hate-you,” she practically screams.
I KNOW IT, CONNOR! it's like 3.14159265358979323846264
The best seventeen. Where every time I stared at Lily Calloway, I wanted to drop to my knees.
awhh omg.
LOREN HALE
currently reading this in cancun! i wish i was reading the cancun trip, so i'd feel like i'm with them.....
After I clean myself off and shut the water, I turn for my towel that hangs on the glass. I freeze, noticing a shadow by the crack of the bathroom door. I had closed that door… Lily. Please, no. The bottom of my stomach falls. The worst thing that could happen: turning on Lily Calloway while she’s supposed to be celibate.
bro. now she's gonna feel sad, like she's not enough for loren :,(
We also wanted to compare which guy buys the better ones. I think it’s Lo. She thinks it’s Connor. It’s yet to be proven.
BRO IMDEAD.
“Just know how ugly I am, and maybe you’ll be turned off.” That’s a strong maybe. “You’re ugly,” I say, trying to buy into his words. “So ugly.” “Grotesque and smelly. Oh, God, you don’t even want to inhale around me, I smell so bad.” He wafts his hand in front of his face with a mock cringe. I bite my lip, suppressing a smile. He smells really good actually. Like soap and citrus. “You stink,” I say. “You are incredibly repulsed by me.”
they're so cute stop.
“I’m going to rub you some,” he admits. “But my cock isn’t coming out.”
currently hiding this & reading in class.... you never know what they're gonna say!
He rocks his body forward, grinding against me. Holy shit. I cry, “Lo, Lo.” And his fingers begin to rub the outside of my panties. Oh my God.
i want to read this, but it's so hard to in class. I'M SO PARANOID SOMEONE IS GOING TO WALK PAST & READ IT.
“Do you know where the handcuffs are?” His eyes narrow. “They’re not for me,” I say quickly, realizing this was bad timing. “I have to show Rose.”
;') I MISS ROSECONNOR. those freaks.
Now seven,
SEVEN??? wasn't she just born?! when was the time jump HELLO??
“Can we please talk about this abstinence pact?” Sam asks as he ties off his wife’s hair. She passes him his champagne and then leans into his chest. “Yes, please,” Connor agrees, sipping red wine like Rose.
HELP CONNOR. i just know he's going mental.
Rose and Connor speak quietly in French, but Rose keeps nervously glancing at Ryke. “I’m not fucking listening to you,” Ryke growls back. “Stop staring at me.”
IMDEAD.
“Ryke can bring the tacos, and Connor, here, will supply the Glenfiddich. Won’t you, love?” The entire room deadens.
connor :'( but this is just loren's humorr.
I wait for Connor to banter back and ease the tension. Like he always does. But he stares off at the rug, not even looking in my direction. “Come on, it was a joke,” I say dryly, my ribs binding around my lungs. Connor suddenly rises to his feet, visibly upset. And he’s trying hard to hide it, avoiding everyone’s gazes. “You’ll have to excuse me for a second,” he says softly, sidestepping past the armrest.
CONNOR. stop. he feels so guilty.
“That day you relapsed was the worst night of my life.” He points at the ground. “It’s not a joke to me.”
best friendship :')
Humans are cursed, I think. These are emotions too complex to overcome. Maybe it’ll take a lifetime to finally let go.
I ask, spreading her legs apart with a firm hand. Her mouth slowly falls as she hones in on my movements. I sink my weight onto her, and my lips brush against her earlobe.
STOP. I CAN'T READ THIS IN CLASS.
“You hoped I would ride it, huh?” “Every day.” It also doesn’t hurt admitting these things to her anymore. I can see the lightness in her expression too. We have each other now. That will never change. “Guess what?” she says. “What?” “I want to ride it now and for every single day.”
BRO WHAT.
“Perks of Having the Hots for a Sixteen-Year-Old Supermodel and Having to Wait until She Turns Eighteen, Only to be Cock-Blocked by Your Bastard Half-Brother.” I flash a bitter smile.
IMSCREAMING.
The smell is killing me. On instinct, I lick my lips. It’s bourbon, for sure. “Lo, don’t fucking taste it,” Ryke says quickly, grabbing my arm like he can stop me. He can’t.
stop.
“Take off your clothes,” Connor says from the doorway, with an inexpressive voice. It almost makes me laugh, but my features only morph into hurt. “How forward of you, love.”
CONNOR HAS ME DEAD.
After she lathers the washcloth, she gently begins scrubbing my abs. And then her eyes flit up to mine for the first time. She pauses. “What’s so funny?” My smile is full-blown. From cheek to cheek. “I’ve always loved you, you know,” I breathe.
AW.
It’s like embracing the happiest parts of yourself. I can’t quite explain what it feels like—but I’m certain it’s somewhere near heaven.
I’ve rehearsed this speech a thousand times in my head. I’ve imagined her reaction a million different ways. Some indifferent. Others warm and apologetic. Standing here now, I wonder which one I’ll meet, which reality is mine.
There’s one thing I never want to do—and it’s be so blind to my kid’s life because I can’t see my own faults.
I thought it was going to be hard—being selfless. But when you love someone with the deepest parts of your soul, they become your biggest exception. I know he’s ours.
they're euch good parents :') breaking the cycle.
After a quick decision, I roll onto my belly, untwisting a bit. Now I’m in the perfect position for my favorite position. I prop myself on my elbows and peek back at Lo. He’s watching me intently while he casually sips his water. Torture. Sheer torture. “You just gonna stand there?” I ask. “Maybe.”
LO IS SO UGHH. his self-control omg.
He is ice. So cold it burns.
SUCH AN EDITABLE QUOTE.
I saw Connor’s bare chest, glistening with sweat. And more than that. His drawstring pants are way more revealing than Lo’s.
CONNORRRR. HELLO. rose is a lucky girl I CAN'T.
“In five seconds, I won’t be alive long enough to deal with my baby.” When he opens his door, I hear Rose curse him out. My eyes widen. “Do you think she’s like…” Tied up?
BRO. SHE'S JUST WAITING FOR CONNOR TIED UP. GET OUTTT.
Daisy reveals a pair of boy-short panties. She flashes me the butt. White letters say: I LOVE LOREN HALE! They even have a cute pink heart beside his name. I wear a dopey grin. “For me?”
HELPME.
“But I just like the idea of having him near my butt.” I realize that came out kind of wrong. “Not like that,” I add quickly and then frown. “Okay, kind of like that…I’m confused.”
LILY, I CANNOT.
“Please tell me there is not a matching Connor Cobalt one,” Rose says with narrowed eyes. She is drilling holes into our littlest sister.
connor wouldn't even react to them IMCRYING. that's so funny though. i need to see the scene of him seeing her wear those so bad.
“He’d love it,” I tell Rose. I can see his million-dollar grin at the mere thought of this saying on Rose’s ass.
I nod repeatedly. “Daisy is right. You’re in a power position. You can tease him.”
BRO GIVE ME THE SCENE NOW. I NEED TO SEE CONNOR DOWN BAD.
“I’ll never live it down if I wear these,” Rose tells us, folding them neatly. She pauses, hesitates. And then begins unfolding. “Fuck it.” She takes off her panties beneath her black robe.
THEY BETTER GIVE ME THE SCENEEEE.
This one dimples his cheeks.
DIMPLES.
And then his hands fall to my waist. And then lower. To my ass. My heart thuds. Especially as his hands vanish beneath my dress. Oh wait…he saw me bend down and… He snaps the hem of my panties, and I almost crumble in his arms. “Where’d you get these?” he asks, turning me around, so my ass faces him. And then he lifts up my dress. I’m caught already.
HELPMEEE.
“Later tonight, I’m fucking you hard.”
LOREN. OHMYGOD.
For the first time, I yearn for tomorrow and cherish yesterday and live for today.
“Come here,” Ryke breathes as he seizes her hand and tugs her to his chest.
MY TEACHER IS PLAYING LATCHING ONTO YOU :') i just read this to 'you make my heart beat out my chest...' ™
Her grin grows as she plants a playful gaze on Ryke.
they're always so crazy omg.
She does one cartwheel, and her skirt flies up to her waist. Revealing underwear that says…I
STOP.
“I’m so fucking in love with her,” is all he says.
AW.
The moment she runs straight out of the ballroom with the biggest, brightest smile. She’s a ball of light that Ryke is going to catch up to. I can see it in his eyes.
She’s so fucking adorable.
lilylo, my BABIES.
I kinda wish I saw Connor’s reaction when he returned from work and learned about the ordeal. But maybe this was it. He was livid enough to storm over to the house and confront their parents.
ME TOO. i wish i saw the scene!
“My hands are full,” Lo lies. But he demonstrates by wrapping his arms underneath the navy-blue sling. Moffy smacks his lips together and then gurgles a noise like ahh. My smile cannot be stopped. Connor adds, “Same.” He lifts Jane to illustrate his predicament. Her lips part in a half-sleep, cuddling with her stuffed lion and then tucking into her father’s chest for warmth and security.
AW. FATHERSSS.
He’s shirtless with low-slung gray shorts and a chalk bag around his waist. He also holds a brunette girl’s hand. My heart skips, and the sight takes me aback. I stop dead in my tracks.
they're trying to TRICK me right now. daisy dyed her hair 100%. they expect me to believe RYKE is CHEATING???!!
