Kindle Notes & Highlights
At twenty-four, I could easily pass for a high school sophomore.
Girl, same
Since our night at The Betsy, he’d grown a goatee.
We can’t be saying that he’s the most attractive guy in the world but then also say this
Then she’d steeled her spine and announced that she was pregnant. Boom. One shot fired, close range to the chest. I was dead on arrival.
Leo with the internal dramatics
“Ran into her at the coffee shop this morning. Told her I wanted a paternity test.” Dash and Emmett both cringed.
“Peephole.” I pointed to the door. “Huh?” “You were kidnapped a month ago. Have a shred of self-preservation and check the goddamn peephole before you open the door.”
A shred, please
“I fucked up.” “No, you fucked me.”
Well, the joke was on them because I didn’t need their help to feel like a piece of shit. I could do that all on my own.
“Need an eyewitness report?” “Do you have anything new to tell me other than the big guy with the beard swung first, and then the big guy without the beard swung back?” “Nah.” I chuckled. “That about covers it.
I turned just in time to see her walk through the door, followed by her parents. And son of a bitch, I nearly fell off my stool.
“How’s your face?” she asked. “Hurts.” “Good.”
“Whether you’re ready to be a father or not, this baby is yours. You belong to her like she belongs to you. The loyalty you had to your brothers, to your club, is in your blood. And it’s searching for a new connection. It’s screaming at you to find a new place to channel it. That place is here. With her.” Thank fuck for the chair beneath my ass because if I’d been standing, I would have dropped to my knees.

the glass began to vibrate, and the sound of distant thunder filled the air. Leo must have heard it, knowing the sound, because one minute we were alone. And the next, the Tin Kings were parking in his driveway.
I actually just giggled and I’m a little bit embarrassed to admit that
What if I just . . . wrote a book?
“What are we?” “Beats the hell out of me. I’ve never done this before.” “Had a baby?” “Had a Cassandra.”
Oh yeah that’s the correct answer
“I couldn’t sleep last night. You were wiped and she squirmed in her crib-cart thing, so I held her and started looking up names.” “You were holding her when I woke up.” He shrugged. “I held her all night.”
“Just a guy trying to deserve you.” “Stop.” A sob escaped. “I’m hormonal and exhausted and hungry. Unless you want me to cry through breakfast, I need you to stop being that guy for a minute. Be the other Leo.” He leaned in, pressing a kiss to my temple. “Your tits are fucking huge.” I laughed. “Thank you.”
“What do you think, little?” Little. “Leo, I’m about to cry again.” “Seriously, babe. Your tits are magnificent right now.” I snorted, smiling as I rested my head on his shoulder. “Much better.”
It was funny the first time but even funnier the second time
I followed, finding her standing in front of the fridge, the door wide open as she stared inside. I doubted she was hungry, but for some reason, my woman stewed in front of the open refrigerator door.
