Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Okay, I get it. I don’t need you to hook up with her. I just need you to not kill her.”
This is what you need to look for in a significant other. Someone who does stuff they don’t want to do just to make you happy.”
“I’m not gonna let you prove it. I’m going to be the one who changes it.”
“Oh yeah? And how do you propose we do that?” Nicole tugged lightly on Courtney’s hair. “I think you know exactly what I’m proposing. Once you take off your pants, and turn yourself around to give me the same access, you’re free to do whatever your heart desires to me. You know, for as long as you can hold on with what I’m about to do to you.”
Nicole didn’t mean to have sex with Courtney again. She also didn’t mean for it to cause them to miss their last brunch with their best friends and have to make up an excuse about oversleeping.
Courtney took the blanket that was draped over her lap and spread it out across both of them. Then she slipped her hand onto the button of Nicole’s jean shorts and silently asked her for permission.
Nicole had to work to keep her breathing steady as Courtney scratched her fingers down her thighs. “She’s touching, um, I mean teaching me some new relaxation techniques. She’s, ah, preparing them right now.” Courtney replaced her hands with her mouth, kissing and licking the inside of both of her thighs, and Nicole wondered how she was ever going to hold herself together to finish this phone call.
As if on cue, Courtney spread Nicole’s legs farther apart and ran her tongue through her folds. Yep, Nicole was going to lose it. “No worries. Have a good night,
Courtney shrugged. “It certainly doesn’t hurt.” Nicole pushed Courtney down into a lying position and crawled on top of her. “In that case, you’re sexy as hell. Now, take your pants off, please.”
“If you’re up for it, once your gluteus maximus heals, I’d like for you to use your strapeus averagous on me.”
hell. Nicole couldn’t believe her life. There
in her bed dressed as a unicorn and wearing a strap-on and it was hands down the sexiest thing she had ever seen in her entire life.
Her eyes gave the impression that she had so much to say, but she remained silent. Those blue eyes just stayed steady, never moving, barely blinking.
“You could say that. You could also say I’m extremely turned on from waking up to you completely naked in my bed. Want to distract me more?”
“You need better friends. All I did was change my plans when you needed me.”
“What are you waiting for? I was promised Laurel Lake and snuggles and I want it now.”
period, nothing like that had even happened this weekend. They spent Friday night and Saturday reading Laurel Lake’s book. When they needed breaks from reading, they just talked—about life, family, work. It was nice.
Being wrapped up with Courtney was great, and it only got better when Courtney laid her head on Nicole’s shoulder and squeezed her tightly.
“I love gay bars—where the drinks are strong and the women are stronger.”
Hell, you’re the sexiest woman in this goddamn city.”
She didn’t want to think of it as fate since they weren’t actually together, but that’s the only way she could describe it.
All she thought about was how good it felt to have Nicole’s lips against her own; how right it felt.
“I want you. I want all of you.” What she really wanted to say was “I want you to make love to me,” but she kept those words hidden inside.
Courtney wanted to bottle up that scent and keep it forever. She wanted to cover herself in it on lonely nights.
The only communication between them came in the form of Nicole reaching out her hand and intertwining their fingers together, and that in itself said more than enough.
Courtney had gone from the girl she couldn’t stand to somewhat of a friend to someone she absolutely couldn’t live without.
felt like her person.
“You’ve screwed me with a strap-on, gotten me off at dinner, and gone down on me while I was on FaceTime, and now you’re asking if you can kiss me?”
She wondered if she could see how much she wanted her; how her heart completely belonged to her and how it was killing her to watch it slip away.
I like you, Nicole. You drive me up a freaking wall most of the time, but I think I even like that.
“When I said that I liked you. It might be crazy to say this so soon, but I don’t just like you. I love you.”
I don’t think there’s anyone in this world more perfect for me than you. And for that reason, I don’t plan on ever letting you go.”
Nicole brought Courtney in closer and placed a quick kiss on her lips. “No, darling, you’re the first to stay.”
“I want every sunset, sunrise, rainy day, snowstorm; every up; every down. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
