Kindle Notes & Highlights
With one stupid fucking question, I wiped out everything she felt for me, for all of us.
“You know why she danced in that cage, behind that mask? It’s because she wanted to BE that woman but she was too afraid to be her in real life. She told me…” He barks out a crazed laugh. “She told me that you were the first man to SEE her, to look at her like she was something. She said you made her feel fucking…WORTHY! Argg! She was so fucking wrong. Savy’s always been worthy. You’re the one who isn’t worthy of her.”
If Savy doesn’t forgive us, if we lose her, Jude’s going to go off the rails. I’ve never seen him like this for anyone before,
“Nowhere to run to now, doll. I’m done chasing.” I suck in a breath and grind out, “Let…me…go.” His fingers slide up to my chin and he tilts my head up and back so I’m forced to look at him. Our mouths are a breath away from each other and his golden eyes are filled with so much emotion that the Tequila churns in my stomach and my heart does an extra beat. “Never. I told you the last time I was deep inside of you that you’re mine and I fucking meant it.”
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.”
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!”
She loved me once, I know she did. I can make her fall again.
“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.”
Choose us for forever. Knock that wall down, doll. Do it for yourself. Choose love and we will give it to you until the day we die.
“Shh, baby girl. You made me wait so now you have to. Lay back and take what I give you. I’m gonna fuck you slow and sweet
“That’s alright, doll. I’ll go with you. I’ll sit in the dark with you until you’re ready and then I’ll be the light to show you the way out.”
