Kindle Notes & Highlights
And my heart still did that strange quickening thing when she got close to me, the thing that tied my tongue and heated my insides and put troubling questions in my head, like, What would it be like to kiss her? What would she do if I took her hand? Should I tell her I want to be more than friends?
“Want me to buy the app and shut it down?” She gasped. “Oh my God, can you? No, wait. Don’t do that—it’s a really helpful thing for a lot of people and businesses. Just not for me at the moment.”
I was shy and reserved in public but dominant and controlling in the bedroom. Actually, that one I liked.
“Fine. But if I change my mind about the app, would you really buy it and shut it down for me?” “In a heartbeat.”
She thinks I’m hot was what registered first, and it fired up my insides a little.
But I barely heard any of it, because for the first time, I was actually kissing the girl I’d been wanting to kiss since I was fifteen.
Being with her almost felt like a memory of something that hadn’t happened yet—maybe a memory of a dream. She was familiar to me, and yet she was a revelation.
“Shhh. From now on, you don’t speak until I ask a question. You don’t move unless I tell you how. You don’t come until I give you permission. Nod if you understand.”
“My problem is that I love this woman you’re talking about like she’s a fucking piece of meat. And I can’t think of anything better than having her to myself for the rest of my life. The thought of being with someone else is absurd. The thought of her being with someone else makes me want to put my fist through the wall. The thought of losing her because I’m a fucking idiot is unacceptable.”
“I love you, Felicity. I’ve always loved you. And if you’ll let me, I will love you for the rest of my life.”
