Kindle Notes & Highlights
Creed frowned at a group of guys staring at us, or more specifically me, as we walked by. “I’m going to get in a fight.” I grabbed his hand, too, and pulled him along.
“You’ve been playing the ‘little broken girl’ act well,” she said. I frowned. “What?” “I think it’s really pathetic, but when you’ve got nothing else to entice with, I guess desperate measures are needed.” She sighed dramatically. “I can’t believe you’ve got Knox fooled. He’s pretty good at sniffing out bullshit. I guess jailbait pussy can make even a man like Knox overlook shit.”
“I see you fading away, baby girl. You’re going fast and it’s scaring the shit out of me.”
“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’ll need to pack all of them because she loses them left and right. I swear I found, like, six of them in my truck yesterday.”
“I’ll tell you everything in the morning,” Knox whispered, irritation riding his voice. “Until then, keep your jealousy under wraps. She doesn’t need that right now.” “I’m not jealous. I’m worried about her,” Creed whispered back. “Don’t lead her on only to pull away because you think it’s for the best.” “I won’t,” Knox said. “I’m serious, Knox,” Creed said, not bothering to be quiet anymore.
My hand had found its way into not only his shorts, but also his boxers, and I was holding his… Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. My hand just twitched around him and the rest of his body went stiff. My cheeks were on fire. “You’re awake, aren’t you?” “Yup.” There wasn’t any grogginess in his voice, which told me he was wide awake.
“If that fucker ever shows up, we run together or we fight together, but more importantly, we protect each other together. Promise me, Shi.” “I promise.”
Colt and Creed texted me a few times, saying that they missed me and that Keelan had to return me tomorrow. That made me laugh and Keelan rolled his eyes.
“I should fucking kill you for touching her!” Knox roared and punched him again.
“That’s why I’ve been trying to call you,” Creed said, and he got this sullen look on his face. “Keelan’s in the hospital.”
