Kindle Notes & Highlights
Ignorance isn’t bliss. It’s completely frustrating. I’m going to read this thing, and then I won’t feel so freaking lost all the time. So no distracting me.” Before I could read one sentence, Dastien yanked the book from my hands. “You don’t need this.” I narrowed my gaze at him. “Just because you’re handsome doesn’t mean you get to boss me around.
“Don’t be so stubborn. When you feel lost or don’t get something, just come to me. I’ll always be there to help.” That was sweet.
He walked around the nook and pulled me up. “Let’s go for a walk.” My heart sped at the thought of being alone with him. It hadn’t been just us since the party.
He held out his hand. As soon as we touched, an electric spark stung my fingertips. I pulled away, shaking my hand. “What was that?” Dastien looked at his hand as if it were a stranger. “I don’t know.” “I’d say static electricity, but that doesn’t quite cover it.” I’d felt it in my soul. “No. That was something else. Something more.”
I closed my eyes as I put my hand in his. It was different the second time. Something clicked into place and I could almost sense a line of energy connecting us. I gasped as it tightened around my heart.
“I wouldn’t let you out of my sight if I could manage it.” I tugged on his hand. “Not cool. That’s more than a little stalker-ish, dude.” He laughed. “Okay. So that didn’t come out right.” He thought for a second. “How about I’d like to spend as much time with you as you’ll let me.” I nodded. “Better. Just this side of Stalkerville.” He gazed down at me. “I thought girls liked that kind of thing.” “Yeah. It’s kind of nice.” I grinned.
I watched Dastien take the first couple of steps. His lithe movements mesmerized me. His muscles tensed and released under his tight grey T-shirt, and his jeans made his butt look so cute. I tilted my head as I stared. He chose that moment to look back at me. “You coming?” A grin spread across his face. “What are you looking at?” “Just enjoying the view.”
The smile that spread across his face made me melt. Yep. He was dangerous.
It took me a while to realize they were getting hot. Then fingers slowly linked with mine. A lazy smile spread across my face. “I have to go patrol, ma chérie. And you have to go inside before the sun sets.” I tightened my fingers around his. “No,” I said, squeezing my eyes shut. His lips pressed against my forehead. I flopped onto the grass, tugging him down too. He hovered over me, his weight on his forearms as he lightly brushed his lips against mine. I growled. That was not the kiss I was going for.
He winked at me and my heart stuttered.
She was dead set on becoming his mate, regardless of how he felt.” A little growl slipped through me. “Mate,” Dastien said softly to me. I tried to breathe through the jealousy. Dastien placed his warm hand in mine and calm poured into me.
“My wolf wants to claim you. To make you mine. To protect you. But I’m trying to give you time, give you a choice even if it’s killing me. It’s why I keep messing up. I should’ve just staked my claim and let you deal with having me attached at your hip.”
I had a feeling that my life was going to start being a whole lot of fun, and I didn’t need a vision to tell me that I was right. Who needed normal anyway?
