Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Start of a season isn’t an excuse!” My voice was loud and bounced off the walls. “If a captain is speaking, you’re shutting the hell up. It’s not a hard thing to remember.”
And our relationship was more real than anything I tried to rebuild with people offline.
My doctor said the medication I was taking could have side effects. Nervousness and heart palpitations were on the list. I’d have to discuss readjusting my dosage as soon as possible.
I was going to have to share her. That shouldn’t have annoyed me.
Her eyes were as bright as the stars above. I wanted to trace her skin like I would trace the constellations in the sky. Would she feel as satisfying as those myths? She sure looked as wondrous.
Whatever she needed, whatever made her happy, I'd give it to her. Even if it was a life without me.
I forgot kids aren’t like adults. They don’t avoid; they barrel forward.
“You asked me what I preferred, and that was my first thought. I’d prefer it if you pinned me against a wall and kiss me.”
God, if kissing her neck did this to me, how was I going to survive her pussy?
“You’re the first and only person who made me feel safe since I woke up,”
I wanted her to crave me as much as I craved her. I wanted her to long only for me because I’d never get on my knees for anyone other than her. Only her. I’d worship only her.
It took the right kind of guy to fuck you like you came from the streets but kiss you like he was your knight in shining armor. Finn Howard was that guy.
“This is good then,” he assured. I snorted. “You’re a bad influence. This was the plan all along, wasn’t it?” Finn raised a brow. “Find a happy girl and make her scream?” I teased. “Make her grumpy like you.”
I was right. All cute guys held onto their stomachs when they laughed. It was a law of the universe.
The scarf now fell around her shoulders. She’d be upset over the matter—I’d seen this happen once already—so, in my sleepy haze, I tried to tug the scarf back up her head. She murmured a thank you when I successfully got the fabric to cover her braids.
Note to self: buy a silk pillowcase. That would make her more comfortable sharing my bed.
“Is this some kind of foreplay?” Lincoln asked.
“Too late.” Lincoln let out an exaggerated sigh. “Complex developed. I officially feel left out of this relationship.”
“What else do you plan to do?” she whispered when we separated for a breath. “Whatever it takes to make sure you’re happy with me.” She teasingly ‘tsked.’ “I thought you were going somewhere dirty with this, but you chose romantic.”
