“Thirty days. You live with me here, in my apartment. You’ll be a part of everything I do here.”
“When you say everything...” my voice trailed, going whisper soft.
“We’re going to fuck, Lola.”
“What if I don’t like being tied up?”
“You can’t tell me your panties aren’t soaked right now just thinking about me fucking you in all the ways I want to take you.”
“I fed his need for dominance; he fed my inner whore.” – Nicola about Devin

“Morgan is gay, he’s not disabled.”
“He’s gay?”
“Yup.”
“Who decided that?”
“He did.”
Was he kidding? Someone like Morgan wouldn’t even know what sex was let alone sexuality.
“There will never be anyone like you, Morgan.”
He closed his eyes for a moment.
“Never, not in a million years or a million lifetimes, will there be anyone else who has what I want.”

“Love is easy.” He traced my eyebrow with his thumb. “Trust is what’s hard. Broken hearts can be fixed. Broken trust?” His touch followed a tear down my cheek to my lips. “Trust doesn’t heal.”
*****
“I can give you what I have, but I can never give you everything.” It wasn’t Morgan didn’t want to, he couldn’t. I could see that too. He could never give me all of himself because he didn’t control everything he had.”
*****
“Because you’re perfect and for some reason you find me worthy of your perfection. Because you’re a gift and I will not let you forget that.”

“The instant his lips crashed into Jeremy’s, Charlie realized something he’d never known before. Conquering fear didn’t mean not being afraid, it meant being afraid of something and doing it anyway. It meant saying no to fear—no you can’t rule me, no you can’t hold me back, no you can’t keep me from the things I want the most. Not anymore.”
“And holy. Fucking, Hell. Charlie was hung. He had a good ten inches of long, hard cock. It was like learning unicorns were real.”
“It has to be said, you’re a constant ray of sunshine, Roni.”
She narrowed her eyes. “Bite me, Fuller.”
Roni tilted her head. “If you’re looking for remorse, you can find it in the dictionary somewhere between rectum and runt.”
*****
“You’re insane.”
He smiled. “I love it when you try to flatter your way into my pants."
Roni, on the other hand….she made him happy – quirks, lollipops and all.
“Somethings are worth waiting for.”
“A week with a Dean brother is like a year with anybody else. You know. With the shooting, the espionage, the fighting for their lives.”
“....even the smallest lion can have a big roar.”
“Think. Don’t feel.”

“Why are you here, Piper?”
She exhaled slowly and stretched out her fingers. “I’m here to save you, Jory.”
“Time to make a choice, sweetheart. Please. Choose me.”
*****
“I love you, Piper. All of you. The smart, the sweet, the lost. Everything you are and whoever you’ll eventually become.”
*****
“I love you, Jory Dean. The tough, the sweet, and definitely the geek."
“No more fucking good-byes. I am so done with that shit and with all of us sacrificing our lives. We’re fucking done, and we’ll all fucking live. The first guy who tells me good-bye ever again, even if he’s just going to the fucking grocery store, gets a fist planted in his fucking face.”
"I lost myself in the darkness of trying to protect you..."
“A wounded heart was apparently no competition for an overeager vagina.”
“At any rate, apparently someone had diddled away their shift at the prophylactics factory and here we are. Pregnant.”
*****
“So I’d been knocked up by a rock star.
Big deal.
Deep breath. Okay.”

“Also, wow, if this was the result of having great sex then I was so never going there again. Not even for mediocre sex. Nothing. I might even rule out masturbation, just in case. You couldn't be too careful. Random attack sperm could be anywhere, just waiting to get a girl in trouble.”
“Give me a chance to catch up.”
I just stared at him, trying to keep my cool. Took two to tango, yada yada.
“I’m serious.” His shoulders heaved up and down. “Just give me a chance to catch up and I promise, Lizzy, I will have your back.”
“Ben, I don’t want to take your freedom. I just want a place in your world. An important one.”
He craned his neck, tipping my chin up to make me look at him at the same time. “Sweetheart, you’ve been important since day one.”
See my review at Sinfully .
“Falling is easy. Landing without breaking your heart? Impossible.”
“He couldn’t switch off ten years of anxiety just because he was free.
Free. Yeah, right.”
*****
“His life had been wrecked by lies and he’d be falling forever because there was no one to catch him.”
*****
“Maybe that was how he should start over, get rid of everything and begin again, rip out his memories and begin again, rip out his heart and begin again.”
“You are what’s important in my life. Freedom tastes like you. Without you, I’m nothing. With you, I’m everything.”
“I’m starting a war with a guy who doesn’t lose – a guy who doesn’t play by the rules. A guy who scares me, and who knows where I sleep at night.” ~Harper
“Owen Harper may get his way with everything in this school and town and life. But he won’t get his way with me.”
“This is a guy who cheats death, who actually seeks it out so he can laugh at that fine line-crossing it from time to time just to prove he can, other times, erasing it completely.”
"Just then, I realize, he's not really wild at all. He's heartbroken. And maybe I don't hate him as much as I thought I did."
“I love you, but I will suffocate you. Drown you. Loving me...it will kill you.”
“...I think I need you to survive. I think I need you to love me, because that’s literally all I’ve got.”
"Everything. Owen Harper is everything."
“The boy’s need spoke to him. Having someone to look after fulfilled him in a way short-term liaisons did not.”
“Jay Kress was his eromenos. His beloved boy. His mentor and protect. His sweet lips to kiss, his beautiful thighs to fuck.”
“I feel safe with you.”
“Are you Curious?”
“Falling in love was the quickest way to ruin a friendship.”
“I can’t help it, Jeremy. God, your big fucking cock could turn a straight man gay. Let me prove it to you. Call me Exhibit A and fuck me.”
“I had a rule that I’d never broken: I didn’t sleep with anyone I worked with.”
