Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You ordered books? For Savy?” At my nod, he rolls his eyes. “Well, so did I. I ordered everything on her kindle in paperback to replace the ones she lost in the fire.” I smirk at that knowing those faerie porn books will be read by him just as much as by Savy.
I’ll never be worthy of Savy but I’ll spend every day fucking trying.
The fact that Mo hates all men was just an added perk that amuses me constantly.
“Never. I told you the last time I was deep inside of you that you’re mine and I fucking meant it.”
Stella’s hand slips into mine and squeezes. “Oh, babes. You’re so fucked.”
I sniff back my tears and sigh. “God, Stella, I’m such a mess.” She brushes the hair away from my face and nods. “Yes, you are. But, caterpillars have to dissolve into a disgusting pile of goo before they become butterflies.” She waves a finger up and down me. “So, you know, just keep going and we’ll find your wings eventually.”
I don’t want anything to do with men, period.
He uses my wrists to yank me closer so my chest hits his. “The same damn reason you can’t let it go, doll. I fucking love you. That never changed!”
“Yeah, I’ll let you go today but I’m going to keep climbing whatever walls you put between us, baby. I’m done waiting so get your head straight. This is happening.”
Jude Dixon just told me he loves me and I have no idea what to do about it.
Eight in the morning and I already wish the day was over.
“What do you want, Tate?” There is no pre-amble, no attempt at small talk, and no hesitation when he answers. “You.”
“Enough! Stop coming here, Jude! I don’t want you and if you force my hand, I’ll increase security to keep you out.” He tilts his head and lifts the take-out cup he brought toward me. “Haven’t had your coffee yet, huh?” I stomp my foot and let out a small screech. “What the fuck do you want from me?”
“We both felt that. The need coursing through our bodies? That’s a forest without rain for four long years just waiting for a spark to ignite it. You want to keep your wall up? Keep your heart from me? Fine, I’ll accept that for now but I fucking told you, doll. This body right here, it’s mine. I also told you I’m not going anywhere so you’ll give it to me. You’ll let me do all the wicked, filthy things I’ve dreamed about doing to it for the last four years because, baby, you need it just as bad as I do.”
I walk straight into a hard body but before I can bounce off strong hands grip my elbows and steady me in my heels. A small chuckle has my head snapping up. “Morning, baby girl. I’d tell you to watch where you’re going but I like the results when you don’t.”
It makes me want to paint a knife red from any fucker that laid his hands on what’s mine.
He looks up at me with an expression daring me to tell him to stop so I just arch a brow with my own ‘get on with it look’.
Vanessa barks out a bitter laugh with a toss of her blond hair. “You should be thanking me! That guy is a psychopath,” she spits out. “He held a knife to my throat and threatened to kill me!” My brows furrow hearing that. If that actually happened, it would have been Jude who did it for some reason. It doesn’t matter now anyway so my gaze slides down to her perfectly unmarred skin and I shrug. “But did you die?”
I didn’t know it was possible for a heart to break a second time.
I hear the occasional, “On your left!” as joggers and bikers pass me
There’s no fucking way I’m letting her go right now.
Tate smiles at me like he’s already getting his way.
I’ll argue tomorrow.
I guess I said that out loud.
it’s fucking Jude. He’s a one-man hurricane that blows wherever he wants.
I tug the shirt back down and my eyes cross when a small blue matchstick truck gripped in tiny fingers zooms in to bonk my nose.
Jude moves to the bed and scoops the little boy up causing him to yell out again. “My Savy!” Jude sends me a wink and tells him, “Get in line, buddy. Get in line.”
I’m so fucking tired.
“I was there.” His brow furrows in confusion. “The day you stepped out on the field for the first time as a pro player. I was there in the stands and I was so damn proud of you. You weren’t alone.”
“Shit, alright… You want me to come and kidnap you back? I can bring the bouncers from the club to take your men down while I help you climb out of a window.”
Jude finds me as evening sets in and his patience with giving me space must be at an end because, without a word, he scoops me up bridal style and carries me out of the room.
“Well, I think you just unlocked a new kink for me. I want to hear you say that again but slower, to me. You just made my boy parts get bigger.”
I missed Jude’s brand of crazy more than I realized.
We’re grown men now, angel, and we all know what we want.” His expression says that’s me in no uncertain terms.
It’s not a passionate kiss. It’s a soul-destroying one.
“Worth every fucking minute of the wait. Good night, angel.”
I’m so fucking in love with this woman my heart literally aches.
I want to push her down and fill her womb with another child of mine, of ours.
That earns me a slight smile and a soft pink blush that I want to lick.
Give me what I want, baby, or I’ll take it.”
my dick pulses painfully at the sight of her spread out and wet on my counter waiting for me to make a meal out of her.
She bucks her hips wildly with a half scream and comes for us.
I don’t want to think about feelings and emotions. I want to fuck.
“I love you.” Again and again, he fucks into me while saying those words. “I love you.” Thrust. “I’ve always loved you.” Thrust. “I will never stop loving you.”
He places a widened hand over my heart and whispers harshly, “I love you. Now say it back. Tell me the truth, doll - and I’ll make you come.”
I bury my face in her hair and murmur, “I won’t let the nightmares in, angel.”
“She told me that if you don’t heal what first hurts you, you’ll bleed all over the people that come after that didn’t hurt you. Angel, I bled all over you and none of it was your fault.”
This fucking girl. This beautiful, sweet, heart-filled girl. I’m going to love her so damn hard for the rest of my life if she’ll let me
I almost come in my pants.
I need her like I need air to breathe.
