81 " Truth be told, it hurt when I fell in love with Tack over tequila and he kicked me out of bed. But until that moment, I didn’t realize the hurt that burned deeper was seeing him with the brunette only a day later. He’d explained it. I hadn’t made an impression on him, and clearly that had changed since. "

82 " And I love you and your biological clock is ticking so we best get started on that shit. "
83 " She’s not a slut, honey,” I said gently. “Seein’ an older guy,” Rush muttered. “Sometimes, you get told enough you are what you aren’t, it gets in your head and you make it a self-fulfilling prophesy even if you really aren’t that.” Rush looked back at me. “She isn’t that,” I whispered. “She’s just in trouble enough for not being it, she probably thinks she might as well do it since she’s in trouble for it anyway. "
84 " And last there was a woman with loads of strawberry blonde curls who looked like a fairy princess. Her name was Sadie Chavez. "
85 " Holy shit, Ty-Ty, you were not wrong. He… is… hawt. "
86 " That woman in there with her mountain of Kleenex would be happy without peonies in August, Red. This is about him growin’ a pair, mannin’ up and tellin’ her he can’t hand her the world. She didn’t want the world. She wanted him. He didn’t have enough confidence in himself to believe that a woman like her would want a man like him and in the end, he took away the only thing she really ever wanted. "
87 " I say, asshole!” she snapped. To this, Tack strangely responded, “Fifty thousand.” Naomi’s body went still and, incidentally, so did mine. “For each,” Tack finished. What? "
88 " He was the one. This motorcycle man in bed with me was the man of my dreams. "
89 " Lei non voleva il mondo, voleva lui. Non ha avuto abbastanza fiducia in se stesso per credere che una donna del genere potesse volere un uomo come lui e, alla fine, le ha portato via l’unica cosa che lei voleva davvero» "
90 " I stared at him.Then I asked, “Are you saying the minor injury you were mentioning was a pizza box burn?”“Yep, "
91 " graceful "
92 " Aunt Bette.” I started squirming toward her voice. “Are you okay?” “No, I’m not okay. We’ve been kidnapped and Marsh is drinking martinis and probably flirting with the waitress!” she snapped, and it sounded like she too was moving but not in my direction. "
93 " Tack walked to his kids, grabbing Tabby behind her head first. He pulled her in and kissed the top. He repeated this with his son. "
94 " Rush had his arm around Tab and he’d pulled her close. He nodded. His son was a good kid. Tabby whimpered. His daughter felt deep. “Love you both,” he told them, his voice rougher than normal. “Love you too, Dad,” Tabby whispered. “Love you, Dad.” Rush’s voice was gruff. Tack took off. "
95 " I scowled in his face after he was done (and after I recovered) to which he muttered to me, “Wherever the fuck I want, Red,” gave my hair a playful tug and then he was gone. "
96 " All eyes went there to see Hawk Delgado and Lee Nightingale, another local badass, a private investigator, walking in. "
97 " The door opened and Tack’s eyes cut to it to see Brock “Slim” Lucas and Mitch Lawson coming through the door. "
98 " We ate all of this in front of Tack’s huge, flat-screen TV in the living room where I was treated to a marathon of Storage Wars. Seeing as I didn’t watch TV, I’d never heard of this program. But by the second episode I was hooked. I declared that I thought Brandi and Jarrod were “adorable” together, which for some reason he didn’t explain made Rush laugh so hard I thought he would bust a gut. Rush might find that funny but I decided I was going to start dressing like Brandi. She always looked the shit. I also shared that Dave was my favorite “character” to which Tabby told me with grave seriousness, “But, Tyra, he’s the bad guy. "
99 " That’s part of provin’ you got sass, lettin’ us know how he is when he’s in action. But, I’m warning you now, I don’t do too much information. Just enough to confirm he’s not only hot on the outside but he’s also got the moves. I can’t function around a man if I know his ability to give pleasure.” I stared at her and I was pretty sure my mouth was open. "
100 " I claimed it,” he went on. “But last night you gave it to me. Gift’s given, no takin’ it back. You get that, Tyra?” “I think so,” I whispered. “Get that, baby, it’s important. "
