Kindle Notes & Highlights
owner of an uncanny ability to show up in the middle of my most embarrassing conversations every time, Kai Young.
i still think about the strawberry gin and tonic incident 🥲
wrapped in a British accent so posh it put the late queen’s to shame.
rip lizzie 😀
Dominic Davenport,
sign the papers dom (i keep seeing the teaser for king of greed)
She’d touched down in my life like a tornado, gotten my drink wrong during her first shift at Valhalla, and hadn’t left my thoughts since.
damn already?
If Kai made regular appearances here, I’d feel it. He altered the shape of every space he entered.
this is different
“I have many other places to be.” A brief light illuminated the shadows in his eyes. “But I chose to be here.”
he’s so down tf baaaadddd
“I’m afraid not.” Kai’s voice could’ve melted butter. “I don’t like sharing.”
🫠
One, Dante’s gaze was fixed on my right hand, which still held the prototype toy from Belladonna. Two, he wasn’t alone. Kai stood behind him,
i’m so embarrassed for you rn 😭
I almost believed he hadn’t felt the touch until his hand, the one I’d inadvertently brushed, flexed.
as a girlie who thinks about mr darcy’s hand flex on a daily basis this is not helping
“Twelve,” she said, her tone sweet enough to induce a cavity. “I’m happy to lend it to you. It might help loosen you up so you don’t die of a stress-induced heart attack before age forty.” I’d much rather have you loosen me up instead.
CHEWED!
I wouldn’t have wanted him to suffer, but I also never got to say goodbye…
stop i’m getting sad
My voice trailed off when he stepped behind me, close enough my hair brushed his chest. My heartbeat wavered. “What are you doing?”
the guided practice gets me every time
Or I could go upstairs.
no pookie i don’t recommend that
A breath passed, and then—we collided. Hands. Lips. Teeth.
FAWK 😫
he took off his glasses and tossed them to the side before kissing me again, even deeper this time,
oh he took off the glasses? he did not come to play
“That’s it, love.” Gravel transformed Kai’s soft words into a rough command. “Be a good girl and come for me.”
the way my stomach turned
“If you’re really stuck, I know a guy,” Dante said, pulling my attention back to the present again. “He can dig up information that’ll have Mishra folding in no time.”
i can smell christian from here
“Burgers, fries, and shakes from Moondust Diner,” Vivian said, pulling the items out of the bags.
moondust diner 🥺
Absolutely fucking not. Her dry spell has been broken. By me.
and tf has!
It wasn’t like I was going to show up at Verve and drag her away from potential suitors like some territorial caveman.
yeah okay 🙄
No signs of Isab—of anyone I knew yet.
nahhhhh 😭
I can still hear your cries, love. Every damn second of every day.”
my knees buckled
“Go upstairs and tell your friends you’re leaving.” I curled my hand around the back of her neck, my voice so low and dark I hardly recognized it. “You have five minutes, sweetheart, or you’ll find out firsthand that I’m not always the gentleman you think I am.”
i always say i would never leave my homegirls for a man but for kai young… i just might
“Come here.” The soft command skated down my spine.
this… yeah…
“Because photos of the Young heir engaging in carnal activities at a bar would put his CEO candidacy at risk.” “No. Because if anyone saw you like that, I’d have to kill them.”
i need a voice note features. y’all needed to hear the sound that came out of me
“Well, this is unexpected.” The oily voice doused our warm intimacy more effectively than a bucket of ice water.
NOT YALL GETTING CAUGHT?
“You’re a CEO,” Isabella said, coming up beside me. “So obviously, corporate boards don’t care that much about scandals. Didn’t your car get blown up earlier this year?”
christian 😏
Typical Volkov.
AN APPEARANCE FROM THE VOLKOVS???? AM I DREAMING?
“I didn’t say you could pull back.” His voice carried a preternatural calm. “Keep sucking, Isabella.”
i started writhing
“Good girl,”
obligatory 👹
“Please,” I sobbed. “I can’t…I need…” “Yes, you can.”
i’m about to bust
“You’re not alone,” I said softly. “You have me.”
cuties 🥺
“I would think you’d be against blackmail, given what happened with Vivian’s father.”
not he chewed dante up like that 😭
“And we should…we should see other people.”
the casual third act break up hurts more than any other one
My love. I’m sorry.
pls don’t do this 🥲
“It is, mia cara.”
the way my throat closed up
“An email from someone claiming to be a literary agent.” My heartbeat crawled from my throat to my ears. I shouldn’t have drunk all that caffeine; I was one palpitation away from flatlining. “She said she read my sample chapters and liked them, which is bullshit, because I never queried an agent.”
no he didn’t 🥺
Kai was here. With Clarissa.
i’m punching the air rn
Where’s your necklace? I, uh, lost it.
king of sloth couple?
“I’m never going to stop being me, Kai, and I don’t want you to stop being you. So how can we be together when we belong to separate worlds?” “By building one of our own,” I said simply.
The same couldn’t be said of her relationship with Dominic, but that was a whole other story.
i'll see y'all on october 24th
