Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Vivian. There isn’t a man on this planet that wouldn’t be attracted to you. You’re fucking beautiful.” “So, what’s the problem?” “The problem is that you’re the one good thing in my life, and I don’t want to fuck it up. I don’t have a lot of good, Vivi. You know that.”
“Don’t lick your lips when you’re staring at my cock unless you intend to do something about it,”
“Oh. My. I see I’ve interrupted something. I would call the fire department to put out this fire, but it appears you’re already here,” Dylan said over a fit of laughter.
Not a bad way to start the day. And I wasn’t talking about the pumpkin scones.
Because it was the only relationship that allowed me to spend all my time with you because my boyfriend didn’t live here. Because it’s always been you.”
Trauma is the ultimate thief. It may have robbed your past, but only you can let it rob your future.”
“It means you should stop fucking around when it comes to Vivi. I know who you are too, Niko. And I know how hard it is to find someone worth taking a risk for. And that girl is worth it. She won’t be around forever, and I promise you, if you let her get away it’ll be your biggest regret.”
“I love you, Honey Bee. It’s you that’s made me sweeter. And it’s only for you.”
“It’s always been you. You just weren’t mine yet.” “You’ve always been mine, Vivi. It just took me a bit to claim you.”
“And who are you close to, Niko West?” “You, Honey Bee. Always you.”
Watching the love of his life deteriorate right in front of him was more than any man should have to live through.
“What are you doing here?” I croaked as the tears continued to fall. “Where else would I be, Honey Bee?”
He was here. He’d always been here when I needed him most.
“I’m all yours, Honey Bee. Always have been, always will be.”
I wanted to do it on my birthday because I realized that the best gift I’ll ever receive is you. No fucking doubt about it.”
Tragedy had a way of reminding you how precious life was. Reminding you about what mattered most. About what was most important. Love and family were everything.
I guess in a way I’d always known there was only one man who truly loved me the way I longed to be loved. I’d been too afraid at the time to admit it was him—but I think I always knew.
“You’re my past, my present, and my future, Honey Bee. I promise to love you until I take my last breath and beyond.”
“I think I’ve loved you my whole life, Niko West. You’re my safe place, my heart, and my future. My hero, my prince, and my protector. And now I get to call you my husband—”
I knew it would be one of the best days of my life, and I didn’t want to forget one single second.
“It’s ours. I had quite a bit saved up, and with the money I was using toward Jada’s rent, that investment property me and Jace got into together, and what we already pay on the mortgage at your place, it was doable. I wanted to show you how committed I was. This house will be where we start our family. Where your sisters can come hang out. Your father can barbecue at our place any time he wants. And we can renovate the kitchen and you can bake everything you want here.”
“Welcome home, Honey Bee.” I continued to shake my head in disbelief. “I was already home. Home is anywhere I’m with you.” And that was the truth. Because Niko West was my husband, my best friend, and my forever.
