Kindle Notes & Highlights
So tired. Right now, I couldn’t see that light.
I wanted to feel safe. I wanted to go home. I didn’t have that anymore.
Colt and Creed would hold me while giving me words of encouragement, Keelan would say something to make me laugh, and Knox would push my buttons. Thinking of them, I was able to suck air into my lungs.
I was ready and wanted to connect with them in every way possible.
Brushing his nose along the shell of my ear, he whispered, “I could cum to the sounds you make.”
“It sounds like your nightmares are a result of what you’re refusing to face,” Knox said. “We all have to face our pain, Shiloh. If you don’t, you won’t find a way to accept it and you’ll never be able to move on.”
“She was just to pass the time. When I’m with you, time doesn’t exist. There’s just you.”
“I get that you have a thing for Knox, but you’re a grown-ass woman,” I snapped. “Get control of your jealousy and stop trying to tear me down because of it.”
“You got us all worried about you.”
“I see you fading away, baby girl. You’re going fast and it’s scaring the shit out of me.”
“So much for letting them dig their own grave.”
“Do you feel me holding you?”
Swoon
“You’re going to relax because I have you.”
“Nothing can get to you while I’m holding you. No one can hurt you.”
Need!
“My mother used to run her fingers through my hair,” I said sleepily. She’d done it to calm me and it had always worked, just like it was working now.
“You will fall. You will fall many times. Sometimes the fall will hurt more than you ever thought possible and you will feel like you don’t want to get back up. Like right now, for example. But you will, and when you do, you will be stronger.”
“You don’t, and the fact that you’ve made it this far is a testament to your strength.”
“I need to go back to therapy.”
“No one can get to you,” he said with a confidence that made me believe him. “No one can hurt you when you’re in my arms. I have you, Shiloh.”
“I love it when you smile.”
“That’s it, good girl.”
“You know, Knox has tattoos, too. You just can’t see them with all his clothes on.”
I get that there isn’t a road map to acceptance and moving on. I get that some roads are longer than others and the decisions we make determine which road we take. I’m mad mine took me down a long one.”
“Thank you for saving me.”
“You’ll break my heart if you do.”
“Every time I look at you, I get a glimpse at happiness.”
Swoon
“Living in fear isn’t living.”
“You’ve never looked at or reacted to anyone else like you have with Shiloh. I think you love her and your reason for not being with her is stupid.”
