Kindle Notes & Highlights
You are worth every kiss my lips can steal.
Because today marks the anniversary of when I lost them.
WHOS THEM??
“You know they’d want you to move on and keep living.”
Ohhh…
But hey, what doesn’t kill you just gives you seriously fucked-up coping mechanisms and one massive self-destruct button.
Thats so real
He glances from me to the sex on a stick beside him before clapping him on the shoulder.
Girl what?
“Yeah, Hold. I took a page straight from your playbook and let someone get on their knees for me in the upstairs bathroom with a bunch of other people right outside. Best blowjob of my life; the scent of weed and stale beer truly was the best kind of aphrodisiac. I get why you enjoy it now. Ten outta ten, highly recommend.”
HAHA WHERE IT ALL STARTED
Spoken like someone who knows from experience, though I doubt Mr. Monogamous here has ever had a one-night stand in his life.
DID YOU FORGET THAT YOU SLEPT WITH HIM LMAOO??
“I take it you were expecting some great, epic saga?”
EPIC THE MUSICAL?!?… okay i gotta stop now
“Remember that thing I said about jealousy?” “Remember that thing I said about not giving a fuck?”
Clock that
But it’s only when I get closer and grab it off the comforter that I realize… It’s my glove. The one that’s supposed to be in my stall in the baseball team’s locker room instead of on my fucking bed, having just been used… Ugh. A Sharpie falls out of it as I go to flip it over, and my blood is set to a boil as my eyes trace over the words written in black ink on the back side. Holden’s cock cover. Est. 2023.
IM CRYING THIS IS SO FUNNY
“Okay, I um…” He clears his throat twice, and then, “I invited Holden.”
Oh shit is gonna go down
None of it feels right because he’s not the person I want to be kissing. Because he’s not his best friend.
Oh…
Cum dumpster’s eyes lift to meet mine, the blue orbs widening when he realizes what I just said.
BYE IM CRYING WHAT ARE THESE NICKNAMES
“Why are you doing this?” I whisper. “Because it’s all I can think about anymore.” His attention drifts from my eyes back to my lips. “You’re all I think about. And I can’t do anything to stop it.”
“Don’t you dare,” he whispers harshly while tightening his hold on my hip. “You’re not ending this now. I’m not fucking done with you.” Then he crashes his mouth back to mine, and I drown all over again.
“a pool lounger won’t be stable enough for all the things I plan to do to you.”
Oop-
God, he’s beautiful. Beautiful and finally fucking mine. “I want both,” he finally says slowly, fingers dancing down my bicep. “I want you to drive me to the brink of insanity only to stop and let me return the favor.”
“Why not? It’ll take your mind off it. C’mon, let’s get married.”
HAHA GREAT DISTRACTION
“It’s the thing you say when you’re a kid on the swings and someone beside you starts swinging in sync with you.”
Ohh rightt
“You have to stop looking at me like that.” My eyes follow the lines and planes of his face as I murmur, “I wish I knew how.” “Holden…” “Phoenix.”
“Judge the nicknames, I dare you,” I warn, my brow arched in his direction. “Because I can easily get her to start calling you HoHo.”
BYE I JUST REALIZED WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT
I’m going to Hell for this. But fuck, the road to Hell has never tasted so sweet.
“Just don’t turn into Quinton de Haas on me, okay?” I say lightly, poking fun at the hot-headed winger Oakley’s been at odds with for years now.
Its okay they go at each other in different ways now ;)
The corner of my mouth lifts in a half-grin. “You’re a possessive one, aren’t you?”
Watch him shabangbang you when youre wearing his jersey
Holden: A trade. I’ll come to watch you play as long as you’re in MY jersey next season.
Foreshadowing?…
“You look so fucking sexy in my jersey. I almost don’t want to take it off you.” Running my tongue over my bottom lip, I whisper two words sure to bring his fantasy to life. “Then don’t.”
CALLED IT
“Then claim me. Own me. And if the jersey isn’t enough, feel free to mark every inch of my body with your cum.”
Oh!
The rest of my sentence dies right there on my lips when the door opens fully, because it’s not my teammate on the other side of the door. It’s Kason.
OH NOO
“You’re not sorry about what happened with Holden, you’re just sorry you got caught stealing him in the first place.”
Roll the credits…
It’s the kind of love that only comes once in a lifetime. The one worth breaking all the rules for.
“I’m yours, Nix. Always. You have to know that. So choose you, baby. ‘Cause I’m choosing you too.”
I press my lips to his forehead and walk away. Because I’ll always choose him. Even if he can’t. Even if it tears me apart in the process.
HEY NO COME BACK AND TALK IT OUT
“That person could be right around the corner, you know.”
Yep and its the next book babe
“You fuck me up, Nix,” he murmurs, his lips brushing mine with every word. I smile against his mouth. “I know, baby. You fuck me up, too.”
Woohoo
