Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I’d kill to see you without your shirt on.” Jasper barked a laugh. It was hoarse too, like he didn’t laugh enough. Sad. Should I give him a hug? Too busy contemplating that question, I didn’t realize what he was doing until it was too late. Jasper reached a hand behind his head, fisting his shirt. Whoosh. Shirt gone. “Holy. Freaking. Abs.” My jaw dropped. “Six. Definitely six.” “Eight,” he corrected. “Count again.”
“I like perfect,” I murmured. “I like imperfect too. I like wild and reckless moments that you never forget.”
“I don’t know. You’re the one who used to live here. What’s something spontaneous to do in Vegas?” A man walking by answered for Jasper. “Get married.” I scoffed. “We can’t get married.” “Why not?” the guy asked, still walking, his arms raised. “Yeah,” Jasper said. “Why not?”
A cuddler. Of course I’d marry a woman who cuddled. I loathed cuddling.
“The next time you talk about any other man inside this body, I’ll spank your ass so red you won’t sit for a week.”
“This body.” He nipped at the base of my neck as his finger slipped inside. “You think I didn’t like fucking you, Eloise?” Whether it was his skilled finger or the way he growled my name, I wasn’t sure, but my toes curled into the carpet. “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this pussy.” His finger eased out, shifting to my clit. “What have you done to me?”
“Don’t run away from me. Don’t pretend that you don’t know what it feels like when I’m fucking you.”
“You want me to fuck you for a while, fine.” He stepped into his boots. “I’ll give you the orgasms the losers from your past couldn’t. But when I see you on the street, you look at me.”
A strong arm wrapped around my shoulders, stopping another lame apology. Jasper hauled me backward, flush against his chest. “That’s enough.” Griffin’s gaze leveled on Jasper. “This is a private conversation.” “You’re yelling at my wife.”
The thunder to his lightning. We were a storm. Two souls lost in the pouring rain.
Eloise was my wife. There wasn’t a damn thing fake about this marriage. Not anymore.
