Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You’re not getting any of this tonight,” Olivia bites out, pausing to circle a hand around her bottom half. “None of it.” Carter’s gasp leaves him slack jawed, and he chases after her. “Ollie! It was an accident! You can’t cut off access! You can’t!”
like her older brother, with his same dimples and irritating smirk. But where Carter’s eyes are a deep green, hers are a soft, cool blue, with almost the faintest hint of violet. Pretty. Or whatever.
“What? No.” Am I yelling? “Why are you yelling?” “I’m not yelling.” I’m yelling.
“C’mon, Gare-Bear.” Cara pouts at me as Emmett’s arms circle her, bringing her into his chest. “Shake your ass, baby.” “I don’t—my ass doesn’t—I can’t—”
im crying
Besides, who needs a boyfriend when you’ve got a drawer full of battery-powered ones? Men don’t vibrate, but dildos do.
so real
Nnnewwwm.” “Nnnewm!” “Nnneeewm!” “For fuck’s sake.” Adam’s solid body connects with mine, knocking me into Carter. He sandwiches the two of us between him and the boards. “Would you two shut the fuck up? Enough with the sound effects. You’re not fucking race cars.”
HELPPP
“Get off me!” I yell, flailing my arms. “Adam! Help!”
they’re so funny stop
Jennie’s eyes lock with mine, wide and horrified, as a particularly meaty fucker with a suction cup base slaps me across the face. It clatters to the ground, the length of it—why the hell is it so damn long?—pumping up and down and winding in circles, spinning around the hardwood like a bad break-dancer.
IM CRYING
“Babe!” The front door slams open, voices pouring into the house, and three seconds later Carter’s sliding into the room, chest heaving in his three-piece suit. “Guess what I got!” He rips open a small shoe box, tosses it to the floor, and holds up the tiniest pair of hockey skates I’ve ever seen. “Look how cute these are!” His grin is so wide, and he’s nearly vibrating. “Cutest skates for the cutest baby!”
“That was interesting,” Cara muses as he disappears. Olivia licks an Oreo. “Super interesting.” I stroll to the fridge, hiding my face. “What was interesting?” Cara grins. “Oh look, Liv. Jennie’s playing clueless.” “Imagine all the possibilities.” “Dangerous possibilities.” “Carter would be livid. “We should videotape his reaction.”
hahahahahaha i love them
“Okay, little buddy. Daddy’s coming in. Make sure you move all the way to the back.”
HELPPPP
He smiles, wiggling his gloved fingers at me, and it’s in that moment Carter throws his stick down, whips his gloves off, tosses his helmet to the ice, and pounces.
my baby <3

I roll my eyes and flick water at him. “We get it, Garrett; you’re hot. You don’t have to stand there half-naked and soaking wet and rub your hotness in our face.” He beams with pride before his forehead creases. “We?” “Yes, we.” I gesture at my nipples. “Don’t act like you haven’t noticed. Your eyes can’t stay on my face for more than two seconds.”
i love her
“Tuck it away!” I shriek at him. “You tuck those away!” he shrieks back. “Stop looking!” “You stop looking!” “Garrett!” “Jennie!”
My occupied hand is shaking violently—the rabbit’s turned all the way to ten—so I chuck that bad girl across the room. Mistake number one. Now she’s vibrating excruciatingly loudly against the hardwood, jumping around, and Garrett can’t take his eyes off her.
“Are you gonna let me take care of you tonight, sunshine? ’Cause it’s all I can fucking think about.”
“Jesus, you’re wet.” His tongue slides up the length of my neck. “So fucking wet.” He sinks two fingers inside me and smiles against my shoulder when I cry out. “You gonna let me fuck this pussy one day?”
“These tits are fuckin’ perfect. Perfect tits, perfect pussy.”
“So, uh…good night.” His eyes widen like he’s forgotten something, and he darts back over. My heart hums as he looms over me, warm hand sliding along my jaw, fingers tangling in my hair as he cups my face and tips it up. His lips cover mine in a slow, heated kiss that lights a fire deep in my belly, and I fist the collar of his shirt, wanting to keep him close. “Good night,” Garrett says again when he pulls away, then drops his lips to mine once more. “Night.” He jogs back to the door, waving at me over his shoulder. “Bye.” He pulls the door open and looks back at me, eyes sweeping over me,

hes so cute
Well, that won’t work. Absolutely not. If I can’t have her, nobody else on this team gets her.
Carter’s head whips around, and his fist destroys his beer can. “The fuck he is,” he grinds out, tossing his can in the sink and stalking toward the happy couple. Well, Jaxon’s happy; Jennie’s not. Jaxon’s about to be broken, not happy. I’m happy.
“Carter—” His palm covers my mouth, halting my words. “Now, I know what you’re probably thinking. But Carter, she’s a grown woman.” “Yes,” I mumble behind his palm. “I am. “But Carter, she can make her own decisions.” “I can.” “I’ll treat her right, blah blah blah.” He shakes his head. “The answer is no. You can touch my sister over my dead body.”
I changed my mind. I want her, and I’m gonna have her. Carter walks away, leaving his sister glaring at me, and when she flips me the double bird, I know that only God can help me now. Fuck me, I’m going for it anyway.
“That’s you, sunshine. You’re my favorite dessert.” With my hand on her throat, I haul her into me until her lips wait just below mine, fingernails biting into my shoulders. Breathless, she clings to me as I whisper my next words. “C’mon, Jennie. Play with me.”
“I want an Oreo McFlurry.” He taps Olivia’s shoulder five hundred times. She’s halfway to passed out beside him. “Want one, pumpkin? Extra Oreo? Gare-Bear’s takin’ us.”
Carter swings his arms over both seats. “I’m so happy you’re friends now. It makes me so happy.” His forehead flops to my shoulder. “I’m so happy.”
my baby <333
“Knees,” I repeat on a whisper, squeezing the back of her neck. Jennie falls to her knees, and I thread my fingers through her hair. “So fuckin’ sexy when you’re on your knees and, for once in your life, speechless.” I run a thumb over her parted, swollen lips. “You okay with a little bit rough?”
“Garrett wants a girrrlfriend,” Carter sings, sucking a chicken wing clean. “I’m sure you’ll find someone.” “It can’t be all that hard. You did it.” His bone clatters to his plate, hardened gaze slowly rising. “I’m a catch, jerk.” I snicker. “Yeah, Ollie’s lucky she didn’t catch a disease.” “Fucker.” Carter reaches across the table, and a game of slapsies quickly ensues as our hands fly, before Dad gets in the middle of it. Dad is Adam. Emmett is the bad uncle who sits in the corner, egging us on. Jaxon’s the drunk aunt making out with a random.
HELP
The barista—his name tag says Nate—smirks.
NOT NATE 😭😭😭😭😭 nates are such a red flag i cant
“No,” I answer bluntly, loading myself into the front seat, narrowly missing Carter’s face when I aggressively toss my bag into the backseat. “It’s my grandma.” I slam the door and sink into my seat. “Yes, Krissy, you fucking doorknob. It’s my brother.” Carter grins. “Ah, my sweet, charming sister. How I’ve missed you.”
That’s how I wind up yelling at Garrett over “Dear John.”
YES
“C’mon, Jennie. Dance with me.” Her grin is a slow explosion, lighting her whole face as all that apprehension fades away. “You’ll dance for me?” “I’ll do anything for you.”
“No. I just wanted to be with you while you opened your gift.” My gaze falls to my phone, finding Garrett’s soft smile. “What?” “The gift is for you, Jennie.”
“What in the sweet fuck are you wearing?” “What? This?” Carter looks down at his shirt, tugging so the single word is visible, as if it weren’t already large and in charge. DILF. “Ollie got it for me.” “It was meant to be a joke,” Olivia murmurs, “but it’s his favorite gift. He won’t take it off.” “Wanna see the best part?” Carter pulls Olivia into his side, beaming proudly. “Show ’em yours, pumpkin.” Her face flushes. “No, I don’t think I will.” “C’mon.” He shakes her arm. “Be loud, be proud, Ollie girl.” She does it, but she sure drags her ass about it, slowly pulling her sweater over her

STOP I LOVE THEM SM
“I’m no one’s sunshine.” “Fuck, I love when you’re wrong.” My mouth covers hers, coaxing it open, and her tongue meets mine for a slow, sweeping kiss. “You’re my sunshine.”
My heart hasn’t ever beat so hard for another person.
He squeezes my hand, smiling tenderly. “Blind leap of faith? Promise I’ll catch you.” “Honestly? It doesn’t feel so blind right now.”
In fact, it dies quickly when my eyes meet those wide hazel ones watching us. Jaxon stands before us, gaze pinballing between Garrett and me, jaw getting closer and closer to the ground. He grins suddenly, but it’s one of those terrified, awkward ones, all bright, clenched teeth. “Uh…” He clears his throat and claps his fist into his opposite hand. “So, um, I heard that…”
HELPPPPP NOOOO
“You know what they say,” I murmur. “You have to learn to lose before you can—” “If you tell me I need to learn how to lose in order to appreciate winning, I’ll toss you off this fucking airplane.” “Oh, so Olivia can say it, but I can’t? Double fucking standards.” “Olivia can say anything she wants! She’s growing my baby and sucking my dick!”
“Stay,” I whisper. “Right here, with me. Please, Jennie. Stay with me.” Her wide eyes move cautiously between mine. That fear begins to dissipate, leaving me with a devastating smile that shatters her face, ignites a fire inside my chest, and warms me from the inside out. “Okay,” Jennie says. “I’ll stay.”
Her fist connects with his nose with a crack that echoes in the chilled air, along with the collective gasp from onlookers passing by. She wipes the blood off her knuckles. “Go fuck yourself.”
OH MY GOD PURRRRR SHE SLAYED
The sound of my palm striking his cheek echoes behind the stage, stunning the crew to silence, leaving only the cheers of the audience.
Because with him, I’m safe. Safe to be myself, safe to feel, safe to want, safe to be. If this is love, I’m in it. If this is love, I never want to let go.
“I’m so fucking tired of pretending.” “Pretending what?” It’s nothing but a breathy whisper as he prowls toward me, matching each of my steps backward. His strong hands cup my face, piercing gaze locked on mine as he looms above me. My heart slams in my chest as his thumb sweeps across my lower lip, and his eyes dip, watching as my lips part on a jagged inhale, before flipping back up to mine. “I’m so fucking tired of pretending I’m not in love with you.”
“Let me take care of you. Let me do something.” “You do everything.” My head falls to his shoulder as he pushes inside me. “You are everything.” “You’re my everything.”
“We’re going to try you on the second line tonight.”
carter bffr omg
Ollie said I wasn’t being fair. Made me sleep on the couch.” “You have, like, three spare bedrooms.” “Four. She said I didn’t deserve a bed.”
LMFAOOO
“You did this for me?” “I’d do anything for you, sunshine.”
