Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Come on, crazy. Let’s get you out of here before you get arrested for beating up an old lady,” Jackson said. “Wow, you’re, like, a knight in shining armor,” Day said with a smirk as they walked through the parking lot. “Yeah, and you’re like a rabid poodle,” Jackson said, nodding towards his car. “A rabid poodle?” “Yeah, all frills and bows on the outside, but snarling and vicious deep down.”
“You just called me a rabid poodle.” Jackson grinned. “Yeah, but I’m a dog person.”
This was why Day stayed home. Why he rarely went out or tried to date. He was permanently broken in every way. Too much work for little reward. A dark shadow fell over his mood, chasing away the butterflies Jackson had put in his belly.
He’d never tell a single soul that he had decided, while in line at the grocery store, that mouthy, brazen, beautiful Dayton Daniels was the one for him. He especially would never tell Dayton. Still, if Jackson was a betting man, he’d put money on Dayton being his person.
“Does anybody really have a cat? We’re more like roommates. I found him outside when he was a kitten. His name is Kevin. He’s kind of a dick. I’m almost positive he likes my housekeeper more than he does me.”
“Your cat is huge.” “Don’t fat-shame my roommate. Kevin is his own man. He does as he pleases.”
“Do you have a breeding kink, you big perv?”
“So, that’s your type?” Webster asked when they were alone. “That twinky ball of rage?”
“Jackson?” Day whispered in the darkness. “Yeah, baby?” “If you break my heart, I don’t think I’ll survive it.” Jackson’s chest tightened at the raw desperation in Day’s words. “Your heart is safe with me, Day. I promise.”
“It’s not my job because you’re paying me. It’s my job because you’re mine, and I protect what’s mine.”
“What am I going to do with you?” “I have an alphabetized list,” Day assured him. “We’re at F for frotting.”
“Who are you calling pretty boy when I’m right here naked, hard, and horny?” Day pouted, voice sleep soaked. “Hush,” Jackson said before adding, “You know I think you’re the prettiest boy.”
“You didn’t even know me then,” Day whispered, then sniffled. “Yeah, I did. I’ve known you my whole life. I just hadn’t found you yet. My gut has never been wrong.”
