Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Was I too rough? Did I hurt you?” he asks softly. Did he hurt…Jesus. No, he didn’t hurt me, but he did warp my brain a little more than it already is. I’m completely bent now.
“Well, he told me because I can be very persuasive. So maybe I’ll drive for a bit longer. Don’t want you rolling us right off the road and into a ditch.” “Oh, shut up. My candy rolled off the seat, okay? I was collecting it when I lost control.” “That is why you crashed the car? Because of wayward M&M’s?” “No! Well, yes, but they were the Peanut butter M&M’s and everyone knows they’re the best kind. Plus, it was the last bag, and I’d driven thirty minutes to get it.” “Sounds like a lousy reason, and who drives half an hour for a bag of candy.” Okay, so August obviously doesn’t have his

I should have never let him drive. But that kiss messed with my mind. I still don’t know why I did that. There is no logical explanation, except that I wanted to do it. I used the ‘I need information about Emery’ line as an excuse. When in reality, I just really wanted to plant my mouth on his, to taste those candy-tinted lips. Watching him suck on that lollipop all day was disturbingly hot, and instead of analyzing it like I should have––because when have I ever been attracted to a guy?––I kissed him instead.

I want to just travel through the rest of my life zipped up in this sleeping bag with him. Maybe call it hibernation, and only come out in the springtime to eat and then get right back inside with him.
I understand now why Edward was so obsessed with Bella. I’d absolutely hover creepily over August’s bed, watching him sleep, because he smells like a snack.
He presses a small kiss to the tip of my nose. And oh my god, my heart grows ten sizes bigger. It won’t fit in my chest anymore. It will have to live outside my body. Maybe August can tuck it away and keep it safe.
He’s just so colorful and vibrant and sexy. My stomach flips because I suddenly realize that he’s the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. That should make me happy and it does, but it also makes me really fucking scared.
“Tiny marshmallows? Are you trying to seduce me? Because that’s really not necessary. I’m already the sluttiest slut for you.”
Emery takes a large sip and I say, “It’s sugar free.” Emery gasps and I hold back a smirk when he utters, “You betrayed me.” “I’d like to see you live a long life, Em. Consuming too much sugar isn’t good for you.” He stares at me for a long-drawn-out moment and then sighs. “Fine. But you owe me for this.”
