I was his exception, and as much as I had tried to fight my feelings, he was mine.
I thought I was going to sweat five years before I’d feel like this.””I wanted it as much as you did. I’ve just got a hell of a poker face” I smiled, pressing my lips against his.
Once she kissed me, my heart slowed, and every muscle in my body relaxed. How much I needed her terrified me. -pg 252/ARC
His eyebrows pulled in. “You won’t leave me, right? Even when I’m a pain in the ass?”“I vowed in front of God – and Elvis – that I wouldn’t, didn’t I?
Look at him,” she said, shaking her head. “Travis Maddox: Mr. Mom.
He watched me rake my fingers through the tangles in my hair and smiled. “Quit it. You’re fucking beautiful.”“Just point me to the nearest eighties rock video,” I said.
I need another drink!” I said as a second attempt to change the subject. “Shots!” America yelled. Shepley rolled his eyes. “Oh, yeah. That’s what you need, another shot.
You realize people like you and Trav are going to fight, right?” America said, filing her nails as she chewed the huge wad of gum in her mouth.I turned over on the bed. “You are officially fired. You are a terrible conscious.
Travis: Happy anniversary,Pidge.Abby: One down, forever to go.
He continued to stare out the window. “I meant what I said before. You need to walk away, Pidge. God knows I can’t walk away from you.
Even though we’d put each other through hell, we’d found heaven. Maybe it was more than a couple of sinners like us deserved, but I wasn’t going to complain.
If this is really it…if you’re really done with me…will you let me hold you tonight? – Travis
Cry if you must. Scream. Get it all out of your system, and then we’ll have fun. It won’t last forever, but it will keep you busy for tonight.
Fighting, laughing, loving or crying, if it was with him, I was where I wanted to be.
No, I can’t die because there are too many jackasses falling over themselves to take my place! I may live forever just to spite them!
Vegas changed people, creating monsters and broken men. It was easy to let the lights and stolen dreams seep into your blood.
The more he smiled, the more I wanted to hate him, and yet it was the very thing that made hating him impossible.
I know you deserve better than me. You think I don’t know that? But if there was any woman made for me … it’s you.
I’ll see you tomorrow, Mare. You know you want to see my ring.””And your tat,” she said, a smile in her voice.
I’m going to kiss you now, and I don’t know if I’ll ever stop.
A Maddox boy will take you all the way to the edge, but if you go with him, he’ll follow you anywhere…
I wanted to sleep with you. I thought about throwing you over my couch fifty different ways, but I haven’t because I don’t see you that way anymore. It’s not that I’m not attracted to you, I just think you’re better than that.
You two have just reached the level of annoyingly cute.
Love isn’t about predictions or behavioural markers. It just happens, and you have no control.
Sometimes good-bye is a second chance. Clears your head. Anyway… missing someone makes you remember why you loved that person in the first place.
Please?” he asked. He laughed once, nervous. “I’m in love with you”After a long pause, I cringed at the words I was about to say. “If you knew what I know… you wouldn’t be.”He shook his head. “I don’t wanna know. I just want you.
I stood my ground, staring straight into his eyes. “You didn’t do anything to me. Since when is sex so life or death to you?” -Abby Abernathy”Since it was with you!” -Travis Maddox
Even though I’d told her that I couldn’t walk away from her, I finally realized that I loved her too much to fuck her life by staying, or to lose her completely by forcing us both to hang on until we hated each other.
Watching Abby own my brothers–hand after hand was turning me on. I’d never seen a woman so sexy in my life, and this one happened to be my girlfriend.-pg 257/ARC
Dr. Webber rolled her eyes, unimpressed with my timing, and probably a little irritated with my lack of materials. I winked, and the slightest smile touched her lips.
The anger subsided, and my shoulders fell. “I know you didn’t. But you have got to curb this overprotective big-brother thing you’ve got going on.”Travis laughed once. “I’m not playing the big brother, Pigeon. Not even close.
You’re everything I’ve ever wanted, Pigeon.”“Just remember that when I take all of your money in the next poker game,” I said, pulling off my shirt.
The only thing that made sense were the thoughts on repeat inside my head: I was about to become the husband of the second woman I’d ever loved.It was almost time. Damn. Shit, yeah! Fuck, yes!I was getting married!
I should say no to prove a point”, He said, his eyebrows pulled together. “But I would hate myself later if I said no and you never asked me again” – Travis
If I was drowning you would part the seaAnd risk your own life to rescue me . . .
The snow began to fall again, drifting against the windows, politely begging entrance and then falling withdisappointment to the ground
For a thousand years,and then a thousand more…I will love you.
I couldn’t imagine being a girl. The bullshit routine they had to go through just to get out the door consumed half of their lives.
So how you’re gonna play this?” Trenton asked.”Divide and conquer.””Divide what?””His head from the rest of his body.”Trenton nodded quickly. “Good plan.
It was a running joke; everyone was aware of how ridiculous the rumor mill was, and yet they all shamelessly participated in it.

As far as everyone is concerned, I’m in love with you today and tomorrow.
