I’m the guy who knows how you can hurt so much that your insides feel like they’re cut and bleeding.
Art was my little private pleasure. Nobody had seen my art, not even my parents. Andy didn’t know about it. My dream was to become a publisher, not an artist lost in New York.
I’m going to own your body, Lila, because you f*cking own mine.
What happened tonight won’t change a thing.””You’re mistaken, Lila. Everything started changing the moment we met.
I’m not going to toy with you tonight. A kiss was more than I bargained for, but, little wife, that f*cking kiss is just the beginning. Tomorrow is a brand new day.
Talk to me. Say something, anything,” he pleaded quietly as if he was trying to tame a wild animal.”There’s nothing to say.”He looked up and lowered his eyebrows on his eyes. “Why did you kiss me?
Take a table and I’ll join you in a second.’’When he walked away I did something I couldn’t be scolded for doing.I checked out his ass in his jeans and…that looked good.
I was falling back again and fast, or maybe I’d never stopped feeling something for him. And it was still hopeless, but at least, I could touch him a little bit.
I had never had a big opinion for myself. I had always thought I’d be a fuck up, that I’d be disappointed like always by life and people. But at this very moment, I knew it. I wasn’t a good man, not well-adjusted. —Nolan
Be myself. If only I remembered what it was like to be myself. I’m a fucking waitress in a crappy bar in a small town in the middle of nowhere. I was going nowhere. I had nothing to give him beside myself and my heart and he denied me.
He brought his forehead against mine and we breathed the same air, slowly to try and find our composure. But it was impossible for me as long as he’s so close to me. “You’re ruining me.�
I closed my eyes and immediately I pictured Brooklyn’s full lips parted on a moan, her eyes glassy and her pupils dilated, her cheeks flushed and her body…her smoking body bared only for me.
Quietly, under my breath, I mumbled a name and it wasn’t the name of the girl waiting in the other room. In my mind I pictured Brooklyn’s sounds as she came and I jerked in my hand, coming and coming. Something had to give.
I listen closely to her breathing getting slower, deeper until her hand settles over my heart, only beating for her. — Duke
Therapy can’t erase scars, it only makes it easier to live with them. — Duke
At this very moment with my girl in my arms, I feel like there’s nothing I can’t do for her, for us. — Duke
At least, for once I was there for her. I didn’t fail her. She wasn’t alone. — Duke
There’s only so much a man can survive and as fucking weak as it sounds, I reached my limits when Skye disappeared. —Duke
What a fucking charade.Happy. That shit isn’t in our cards. — Duke
You know she needs you. Think for a minute instead of playing the wounded ego card.’’ — Derek
It only wakes up the burning desire I always feel whenever I’m close to this man and the shadows of my fears back away. — Skye
I love you to insanity. I’m not even sure if it’s a good thing.” — Duke
Will you be able to touch me again without thinking about Sean? I don’t want you to be disgusted by me.
I love you, Skye. You’re in my heart, in my head, under my skin. You’re my present and my future.
Maybe Duke was just the kind of person you don’t keep in your life, but the kind of person that changes your life forever.
With you and me, I don’t know what anything means. We’re pushing each other away and yet I don’t seem to be able to let you go.
I want him and even if it’s frightening, even if I may not be completely ready for a relationship, I want him. Now… And tomorrow, and all the following days.
It’s fine, but don’t ask me to strip again or I’m going to wonder what your intentions really are.
His grip on my shoulder tightens. His other hand behind my head caresses me softly and I sigh.”Touch me, Skye.”His voice is rough, almost sounding like a groan.
Maybe I shouldn’t trust him after all, just like he doesn’t seem to trust me fully. Shit, is it always so hard to get close to someone?
If you were ready to sleep with me we wouldn’t be in this bar, but in my room not wasting any more time.
