Kindle Notes & Highlights
what if I simply opened her casket and crawled inside with her? Took her in my arms and lay with her for eternity, like I was supposed to.
My heart shudders violently, reminding me that it’s broken beyond repair.
And I’m left to endure this life without her. Left with no heart and only half a soul and the knowledge that I’ll never love another woman for the rest of my days. I promised her that when she closed her eyes for the final time, and it’s a promise I will keep with my dying breath.

“It’s okay, not every guy can make every woman come.”
“You gonna let me fuck you, Mia?”
“Yes please.”
“I have no gag reflex.”
Holy fuck! I arch an eyebrow at her, trying to determine whether she’s screwing with me or telling the truth, but my instincts say it’s the latter. “I’ll be sure to test that theory some time.”
“If it’s still the same day, it counts as the one time, right?”
“I think that’s right,”
Later in the night, while I’m fucking Mia way into the next day, I tell myself that it’s still the one time. It definitely won’t happen again.
“You’re a distraction, sunshine,”
“I am?”
“An addictive distraction. You look good enough to eat.”
“So ea...
