“They say money talks, but all mine ever says is good-bye sucker.”
“You never know, just by looking, what a person is hiding.”
“Everyone knows you never find love when you go looking for it. You have to wait for it to find you.”
“You forget who submits, Eva,” he said gruffly. “I’ve given up control for you. I’ve bent and adjusted for you. I’ll do anything to keep you and make you happy. But I can’t be tamed or topped. Don’t mistake indulgence for weakness.”
“It s probably best for me to work off some energy before I get you naked. I m sure you d like to be able to walk tomorrow.”
“I can t go long without you either, Eva. You re an addiction...my obsession...”
“Did you miss me?’ “A little bit,” she said with a shrug. “You have tears running down your cheeks,” he said with a grin. “I think you missed me more than a little.”
“The earth would crumble beneath my feet from the weight of my heart.”
“Whatever this shit is between us it’s always been there and it’s always gonna be there. I’m shit-fuckin’-tired tryin’ to ignore it. I’ll try to do right by you Eva, you’d be the first, but I’ll fuckin’ try my damndest. And baby, true freedom is the open road, the wind on your face and a good woman on the back of your bike holdin’ you tight like you’re her reason for breathin’ because she sure as fuck is yours.”
“I don t want just a night or a week or a month with you. I want you all the time. I like you better than calculus, and math is the only thing that unites the universe.”
“I’ve always seen you, angel. From the moment you found me, I’ve seen nothing but you.”
“It was like the Justice League of Super Heroes but instead it was the Justice League of Hot Guys.”
“You can t create experience, you undergo it.”
“Are you sleeping with anyone?” The question was asked so casually it took a second to process what he’d said. I inhaled sharply. “Why is that any business of yours?” He looked at me and I saw what I’d seen the first time we’d met—tremendous power and steely control. Both of which had me taking an involuntary step back. Again. At least I didn’t fall this time; I was making progress. “Because I want to fuck you, Eva. I need to know what’s standing in my way, if anything.”
“I want there to be happily-ever-afters for the fucked-up crowd. Show me the way, Eva honey. Make me believe.”
“He was the kind of guy that made a woman want to rip his shirt open and watch the buttons scatter along with her inhibitions.”
“Let me rephrase.” He took a seething step toward me. “When it comes to you… I don’t like to share.”
