Kindle Notes & Highlights
Logan Knight. My brother’s best friend.
In front of everyone, he kept me at arm’s length and acted like I was his little sister. When no one was looking, he would sneak into my room and hold me in his arms until the sun rose.
I was his dirty little secret.
“You are a constant in my life. And I hate the fact that I’m going to be leaving you. The fact that I won’t see you almost every single day. I won’t see you sitting in the stands, cheering me on at every game.”
“That’s not the same. I’m going to miss you—this.”
“The way I feel about you is the reason why I can’t let this be anything.”
His lips are soft and gentle, moving slowly against mine. The way he feels is ingrained in my brain and my soul.
“Promise me that you won’t forget about me after you leave.” “I could never forget you, even if I tried.”
Don’t you dare give up on your dreams. You deserve to do whatever is going to make you happy and I’ve seen your artwork. I believe in you.”
She’s Isla fucking Whitley and she can do anything she puts her mind to.
“Don’t test me, babe,”
Not to mention the fact that she looks like she was sent here from heaven.
Possessive. Protective. Fucking jealous as hell thinking about her there with her douchebag friend that she made.
“That’s where you’re wrong, babe.” His voice is low, soft and warm, just like his palms on me. “Everything you do will always concern me.”
“You’re not my keeper, Knight.” I glare up at him, feeling my body sway on unsteady legs. “You don’t get to tell me what I can and can’t do.” Logan’s face falls and he tilts his head to the side with a pained look in his eyes. “Don’t do that,” he whispers, his voice strained. My eyebrows pinch together. “Do what?” “Don’t call me Knight, like everyone else.” “Your friends call you Knight.” I roll my eyes in a dramatic fashion before pushing past him. “I’m just making sure that I’m playing the part right.”
“I don’t know how to be your friend, Isla.” He moves one hand from the wall, sliding it along the side of my face as he cups my cheek. His thumb is soft as he strokes my skin. “What if I don’t want you to play the part anymore?”
“You don’t want to be friends?” A ghost of a smile plays on his lips as he shakes his head. “I never wanted to be your friend.”
“Because even though I don’t deserve you, that doesn’t mean there’s anyone who comes close to you. I refuse to settle for anything less than greatness, baby. And that’s exactly what you are.”
“I don’t want more with him. I’ve only ever wanted more with you.”
“I’ve only ever wanted more with you.” Me too, baby girl… me too.
Instead, he makes me feel like I’m the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen.
want you to be my first.” The corners of Logan’s lips lift. “And your last, Isla. I’m going to ruin you for anyone else. I’m going to leave my mark so deep in your fucking soul that you won’t ever want anyone but me.”
“Lay back for me, pretty girl. Let me taste this sweet pussy and make you feel good.”
“It was written in the stars, August. It was completely inevitable.”
“That’s right, baby girl. I’m your fucking god.”
I’m lost in him; he’s lost in me. And I never want either of us to be found.
“Don’t fucking do this, Logan Knight,”
“I’ll always love you, Isla Whitley.”
She’s a ride or die type of girl.
“You’re the only teammate that matters to me—that I want to spend the rest of my life with. Will you marry me, Isla Whitley?”
