Kindle Notes & Highlights
It should be considered a corporate crime to look that good while wearing a suit.
Something shifts between us. His eyes darken as they assess me. I’m not sure if he wants to choke me, fire me, or fuck me into submission. “Are you always this impossible?” “I don’t know. Are you always this much of an asshole?”
He kisses in the same way he does everything else—with practiced precision and restrained power.
I’ll happily volunteer as tribute.
Every time I think I have my urges under control, the memory of Zahra’s lips against mine has my body reacting all over again.
He’s the Devil, Zahra. Well, that explains why Eve fell for his tricks. If the Devil looked half as good as Rowan, I’d eat the damn apple too. Screw the consequences.
“Take a breath. I’m not in the mood to call an ambulance when you pass out and crack your head open.” “How dare I consider for a second that you would catch me before that happens.” “That requires caring and I’m fresh out of fucks to give.”
My gaze flickers across her body before landing on the curve of her neck. The soft skin is meant to entice. To kiss and mark while she’s fucked into oblivion. There are plenty of things I’d want to do to that pretty little neck if given a chance.
I officially need to find out what kind of woodland fairies raised this woman because there’s no way she’s a product of the real world.
Me: Because life isn’t always rainbows and sunshine.
Zahra: Of course not. But how can we appreciate the sun every morning if we don’t live through the dark?
I’m done being that woman. From now on, I refuse to let self-doubt get in my way. I’m now Zahra 2.0. The woman who doesn’t give much thought to the past because I’m only facing my future.
“There is no room for basic bitches here.”
People say home is where the heart is but I couldn’t disagree more. Home is wherever I’m unbothered. That’s true peace for me.
He walks with a sense of self-assuredness that screams I have a big dick and I know how to use it.
“I thought you didn’t care?” “Hmm. Maybe I found some fucks to give after all.”
Everything I do today is for Zahra’s sweet smiles and soft laughs. She has the magnetism of the Bermuda Triangle, and I’m a lost plane desperate to land.
Kissing Zahra is like reaching heaven after an eternity spent in purgatory. Like I’ve spent most of my life hopelessly ambling around, waiting for her to show me the way back to the light. She’s divine with enough wickedness to make a sinner like me want to pray in devotion.
“You don’t want me to help you with that problem?” “Take a man out to dinner first.” “Does my pussy count?” “Fuck.”
grin. “It’s okay to admit your feelings. I’ll wait.” I turn my chair and face him. “Just like you made me wait all day for a confirmation?” Huh? “A confirmation?” “Yes. I’m taking you out tomorrow night for a date.” I laugh under my breath. “Don’t you think you should ask me first?” “I don’t ask questions I know the answers to.” “We need to work on your manners. They’re severely lacking.” He steps into my space and bends down to whisper in my ear. “You weren’t complaining about politeness the other night.” “Of course not. Every woman wants a gentleman in the streets and a beast in the

“If I had a heart to give, it would be all yours. Free of cost.”
I drop my forehead against his chest and laugh until the cold air burns my lungs. He wraps his arms around me, and together, we lose it on a dirty sidewalk covered in snow. Best date ever.
“You’ll learn that the best rewards come with the biggest consequences. Because nothing that great comes without making any sacrifices.”
“And while I know I don’t deserve you, I’ll spend every single day proving to you how much I love you.”
Zahra’s it for me. I know it with everything in me, and my intuition has never been wrong before. There’s nothing in the world I’ll find more beautiful than her. Not the sun. Not the moon. Not even the entire galaxy compares to the light she radiates wherever she goes.
