Kindle Notes & Highlights
Creed continued to tease my nipple and massage my breast. Brushing his nose along the shell of my ear, he whispered, “I could cum to the sounds you make.”
Creed’s hand moved to my other breast. “That’s it, Shi. Ride his fingers.” A groan escaped me, and Colt cut it off with a kiss. His tongue briefly touched mine before he pulled away. “I think she likes it when you whisper filthy things in her ear. She squeezes around my fingers every time.”
“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.”
“Red is his favorite color,” Keelan said with a mischievous grin and put his hand on Knox’s shoulder. “That’s why his Camaro’s red.”
“She was just to pass the time. When I’m with you, time doesn’t exist. There’s just you.”
“You should know that since you’ve already called me your girlfriend, I’ve claimed the title and there are no take-backs.” They both smiled.
“Let’s go swimming when we get home.” “You gonna go in your underwear this time?” Creed asked me with mirth in his eyes. “I’m not wearing any underwear, but I bought a bathing suit,” I said. Colt stopped walking and set me on my wobbly feet. “Are you being serious?” “Yes, I bought a suit to wear to Keelan’s party tomorrow and this pretty white cover-up dress to wear over it.” Colt frowned. “I meant about not wearing underwear.”
“I’m not naughty,” I protested. “You left the house without your panties, Shi. Sounds like you’ve made some naughty decisions today,” Creed teased. Instead of getting flustered, my tipsy brain thought it would be a good idea to add fuel to the fire. “I left my bra at home, too. I guess I really am a naughty girl.” Colt cursed. “You’re killing me, babe.”
“Can you all close your eyes? I get that everyone has seen my vagina, but I would like to get off this counter with a little dignity.” Keelan spun around. “If it makes you feel better, I haven’t seen it.” “Fucking Christ,” Knox cursed
“We need to talk about this morning,” he said out of the blue. “I’m sorry you saw my vagina, Knox,” I snapped, feeling mortified. “I would appreciate it if it was never brought up again.” He kept his eyes fixed on the road. “I wasn’t talking about that.” “Oh.”
“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.”
“I’m not strong. I’ve made it this long because I’ve been jumping from one crutch to another. Drowning myself in the bottom of a bottle. Smoking to calm my fear. Running until it hurt because that pain was better than what I was feeling.” “If you’re aware that what you’re doing is wrong, why do you continue to do it to yourself? Why haven’t you tried to work on getting better?” There wasn’t judgment in his question. Just the need to understand. My forehead scrunched up. “Because I’m scared.”
“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.”
“I know this is going to sound bad, but I was alright with hurting myself. I wasn’t alright hurting any of you.”
“Every time I look at you, I get a glimpse at happiness.” I held my breath, refusing to assume what that meant. “You’re my match, Shiloh.” His hands framed my face. “I’m so fucking sorry if I hurt you. I let my fear of the worst get the best of me.”
“Living in fear isn’t living.”
