Kindle Notes & Highlights
Rae’s face turned bright red, and I couldn’t help but laugh. She looked adorable. All innocent and shit. I clamped my mouth shut. What the fuck was I doing? “Oh, so he told you about that?” I raised an eyebrow and lowered my voice. “We share pretty much everything.”
pls
She blinked up at me and I felt my breath catch in my throat. A treacherous thought kept creeping in. Who the fuck wouldn’t want to keep her safe?
Why? Because Raegan was in my lap, shaking like a scared puppy and I’d apparently been having a lapse in personality.
“You’re going to pay for shooting at our girl.”
I had no idea when I started to care, but I would lose my goddamn mind if something happened to her.
Rae’s laugh vibrated against my chest, sending warmth through me. I fucking loved that sound. She stepped back, not meeting my eyes, and wrapped her arms around Beck. He cupped her cheeks, tipping her head back, and pushed her hair behind her ears. He looked calmer than I’d seen him in years as he placed a kiss on her forehead. “Glad you’re okay, babe.”
Bitterness tightened my chest. Sophie was my older sister, but somehow, I’d fallen into the role of babysitter. No one ever looked out for me like that. She was the heir, and I was the spare of the family.
Rush’s eyes met mine, feeling the change in my posture. He looked like I slapped him. Eyes wide with shock, he let go of my arm like I’d burned him. His voice was rough. “You thought I’d fucking hurt you?”
Rush turned hot eyes on me. “They aren’t staying in our rooms. We went and played with the shooter.” He tucked a strand of hair from my lavender wig behind my ear, fingers brushing my cheek. “We made him pay nice and slow for shooting at you.”
pls i love this man
Sophie laughed before he walked out the door. “Nico, you really think you can pretend to be casual? As if, you didn’t spend the last twenty hours hovering over her like a fucking gargoyle.”
“Do you need to be taken care of, Firecracker?” He practically purred it into my neck.
PLS
“You’re fucking mine.”
He pulled back, dropping his forehead to mine, and took a strained breath. When his eyes met mine, there was a seriousness I hadn’t seen before. “Fuck the truce… and fuck being enemies.”
forehead to forehead is the superior move
He lifted on his side, half over me, and his fingers gripped my jaw, eyes pierced mine. “Not finding you was never an option. I would burn down the entire city to get you back.”
Rae cut off my morbid thoughts. “I need a crew on the roof of the adjoining building. The gap between them is a few feet wide. You’ll have to jump it.” One of the Gentlemen scoffed at the command, looking at her like she was delusional. I laughed, taking a step forward, ready to rip him a part, but Nico beat me to it. “She can jump it and she’s half your height. Get your shit together or get the fuck out.”
“Don’t be fucking stupid.” Nico pulled me tighter against his chest, shifting into a more comfortable position. “Anyway, you don’t have to worry, Raegan. You might have these two pussy-whipped, but I’m not interested.”
