“Never be afraid to fly, Bren. Even if it takes you from all you know.”
“Where you are is where I want to be.”
**Synopsis:**
Brenna wants great sex. That’s it. Nothing more.
~ ”It’s not the daily minutiae of a relationship I crave, but the simple physical connection. I want to be wanted. Craved above all things. Needed with a breathless devotion. I want to be seen, not just as a quick fix—but as something essential. And I want to crave someone too. I want to learn their body, know what sets them off, and what brings them to their knees. To own and be owned.”
When Rye overhears that admission he strikes a bargain with Brenna. Although she fights it for a hot minute, ultimately they settle on some rules and begin their quest for great sex.
~ “I want it to be me,” I blurt without any finesse. I breathe deep and say more calmly, “I want to be the one you use.”
~ “Neither one of us has the time or the inclination to go looking for a real relationship, but we both need physical release and the pleasure of touch or the isolation of our lives starts getting to us.”
Of course, the rules start to get broken and feelings get into the mix and the casual thing they wanted turns into much more.
~ “The attraction between us was always there. You can deny it if you want, but it’s true. We’ve been like two magnets facing south, repelling because we can’t do anything else. Then I overheard what you needed, and I flipped north. Toward you.”
**The following are my thoughts about this book: **
* * in Chapter 1 I had to look up a word. Thankfully, that was just a one-off thing. I understood the rest of the words in the book, so I didn’t get “tetchy” (i.e. irritated)
