Verity

by Colleen Hoover

I could be married to Amos right now, so life could always be worse.

Girl leave Amos alone, move on and stand up

blood red door,

Love me a good red door

The online satellite images did not do this property justice. I stalked the home before showing up.

Obviously we wouldn’t have figure it out that you stalked the house satellite images so you needed to spell it out for us 🙄

But I think he might be an asshole.

Girl, you are a stranger he doesn’t know you, so let him slam his own door on your face in his own house. He doesn’t owe you anything

I can’t believe I thought he was an asshole.

Same

I’m wondering which one of them had to bite the headboard in order to keep quiet during sex. Have I ever had sex that intense?

Girl I didn’t think it was sexual until you said that, I taught maybe the children were little teeth goblins, sometimes people do weird things

I want to beg him to find a lock, but I also don’t want to be even more intrusive than I already am.

Bro I would ask for a lock, I need the security to make me feel safe

“Isn’t that how people figure out their pornstar name?”

Miss…who said anything about porn? Why would you bring it up with your technical employer

She’s on her back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, her blonde hair spilled over her pillow.

Comatose?

“And you’ll clean out your ears? Because they clearly weren’t working before when I told you to take a shower.” “I swear!”

Honestly this whole moment was more scary than anything, Jeremy you aren’t Tadashi so this isn’t cute

“He’s cute. How old is he?” “Five,”

Awww he’s just a little guy ❤️

There are to be nine total books in the series. Six have been published, and three are still to be delivered. The series title is The Noble Virtues, and each book is a different virtue. The three that are left up to me are Courage, Truth, and Honor.

Info on verity’s book series, nine book series with each being about a virtue

“I didn’t like being inside her head.” I hold back my smile, but he sounds a little bit like Corey right now. Unable to separate the world his wife creates from the one she lives in. At least Jeremy seems to be a little more self-aware than Corey ever was.

Oh so curious am I

That’s my excuse, anyway.

Wow you kinda suck, way to justify your nosy snooping self

An autobiography encouraging the reader to like the author is not a true autobiography.

Where’s your autobiography miss Hoover then? You better spill those blood and guts all over the pages

Human. Curious. Carry on.

She called you out lowen hehe

A Hallmark ploy.

Picture perfect

But when men look at dresses, they aren’t admiring the way it hugs the hips or the cinch at the waist or the fancy tie up the back. They’re sizing up how easy it will be to remove. Will he be able to slip his hand up her thigh when they’re seated next to each other at a table? Will he be able to fuck her in a car without the awkward mess of zippers and Spanx? Will he be able to fuck her in the bathroom without having to remove her clothes completely?

Well the gross men who sexualize women do think this but luckily for the world and for my sanity, that doesn’t apply to everyone

He did, eventually. I was standing at the bar, my back to him, when he put his hand on my shoulder and leaned forward, motioning for the bartender. Jeremy didn’t look at me in that moment. He simply kept his hand on my shoulder, as if he were laying claim to me. When the bartender approached, I watched in fascination. Jeremy nudged his head toward me and said, “Make sure you only serve her water for the rest of the evening.”

Ex-squeeze me? You are a stranger sir, doesn’t matter if I’m interested or you’re hot, don’t make decisions for me

“I’m perfectly capable of deciding when I’ve had enough to drink.”

Facts verity

The bartender glanced at me, then Jeremy. Then back at me. “I’m sorry, ma’am. I’ve been asked to serve you water.”

Bitch what? Serve me the damn drink I asked for, wtf?!

“She’ll take a water,” Jeremy said.

Shut the f up dude, I don’t know you and now I’m turned off. Screw off back to your car 🚗 💨

His voice sounded like his throat was coated in honey. I held eye contact with him, wondering if it was an act. Could a man that good looking and presumably rich also be considerate? It felt more presumptuous than anything, but I was drawn in by his gall.

Still doesn’t matter to me, go away, no longer interested buddy

It was the perfect length to scratch my thighs. Maybe even scar them if he stayed down there long enough.

Wow, girl I guess do you

his hand on my lower back,

I loathe this move with a fiery passion ❤️‍🔥

We sat in silence for a minute or two, staring at each other with anticipation. He knew he had me in that moment, which is why he felt confident enough to reach forward and lift my leg, draping it across the seat next to him. He left his hand on my ankle, caressing it, watching as my chest began to rise and fall in response to his touch.

Maybe this is hot to someone, with him I’m like meh

yet I still wanted to fuck him.

No shit

You can’t look at someone the way he looked at me—with the entirety of his past—without also imagining the future. He closed his eyes and kissed me. The kiss was full of both desire and respect—two things a lot of men didn’t seem to know could go hand in hand.

That statement outside of this book is pretty good, you should get a man that kisses you full of both desire and respect

Sharing a kiss that intimate with a stranger was like saying, “I don’t know you, but I believe I would like you if I did.”

I would hope so personally but I guess that’s a fine line

He fed me before he fucked me.

Well I guess that’s nice but what did you have to word it like that 🥴

He did. His bed was in the middle of a studio apartment in Brooklyn.

No shit verity!

It was amazing how different sex felt when a person used more than their body.

I mean I guess this applies to some, I wouldn’t know since…actually no let me stop

It was as if I’d been standing on the edge of a cliff my whole life, and finally, after meeting Jeremy, I felt confident enough to jump. Because—for the first time in my life—I felt confident that I wouldn’t land. I would keep flying.

Oh so hopeful

And that’s what love at first sight is. It isn’t really love at first sight until you’ve been with the person long enough for it to become love at first sight.

Huh? Explain further like I’m stupid (I am but let’s not get into that right now)

We ate Chinese takeout. We fucked. We ordered pizza. We fucked. We watched TV. We fucked.

Getting those daily f*cks in, please tell me you’ve showered in between

with his cock,

🤣

I needed to be what made him smile, breathe, wake up in the mornings. And for a while, I was. He loved me more than he loved anything or anyone. I was his sole reason for living. Until he discovered the one thing that meant more to him than I did.

Dun! dun! duuuunnnnnn!

Repetitive creaking, like the sound a bed would make if a man were on top of a woman.

Bruh you jumped to the worst conclusions, I thought she was maybe being massaged by a machine in the bed or maybe she was miraculously trying to get up or to ring a bell or something else but not sex or assault omg

“It’s her hospital bed. It’s on a timer every two hours to lift different parts of her mattress. Takes weight off her pressure points.”

See that lowen, it’s not anything your gross little mind thought. Look I get having horny brain but not like this weird

lush,

Lush word count: 2 so far

Jeremy walks backward. “It’s pizza.” “Perfect.” I hate pizza.

Girl just say that, do you enjoy suffering?! (This is apparently truer than I previously suspected)

It makes me feel a little pathetic.

😶🤐

Maybe it was just another work of fiction, and Jeremy’s name was only there as a placeholder.

That’s stupid, she said it was going to be an honest autobiography

“Verity isn’t your typical author. She loves the spotlight. The fancy events. It all makes me uncomfortable. I like being here with the kids.” There’s a very subtle shift in his expression when he realizes he spoke of his girls in the present tense. “With Crew,” he says, correcting himself.

Interesting 🤔

“Goodnight, Low.”

See, Low is a cute nickname, at least to me

I couldn’t function.

Bruh I wanna know more about verity’s past, her childhood, her parents, her old home situation, things to understand her more because I’m not only curious about her relationship with Jeremy but who she was before him, that’s where i wished the autobiography started

He had suggested I move in with him one night, during sex. He does that sometimes. Makes huge decisions about our lives together while he’s fucking me.

Jeremy needs to chill, focus on one task at a time

intense green eyes

Of course he has green eyes

I didn’t want to talk anymore. I just wanted him to make me come.

Bro you should have just said let’s talk about it later, it’s an important conversation to have but you would like to enjoy the passionate moment first, communicate for the love of god

I leaned forward, gripped his headboard, and then bit down on it, stifling my screams.

I guess lowen was right…damnit
