Zane (The Bad Boys of Saddle Creek #1)

by Kat Baxter

I’ve done a lot of stupid shit in my life, but even I was smart enough to see how special she was.

“Yes. I’m your best friend. And yes, I love you like that.” I squeeze her hips. “But the truth is, I’m your best friend, Emmy, because I’m in love with you.”

“I know you might not ever want the same things that I want. And that’s okay. I don’t want to pressure you, ever, to do something you’re not comfortable with. But I’m never going anywhere. And there will never be another woman for me besides you.”

Of course he agreed, because he loves me. I’m not just talking about the emotion that he obviously feels, but he loves me in the verb sense of the word. His every action demonstrates how he cares about me and it’s addictive.
