Victoria Sobolev QUOTES

1 "

I generally try not to dwell on the impact Alex has on women. It has always been perfectly obvious that it’s not just me who finds him irresistibly attractive, but others too. Many others. Virtually everyone. We mostly meet in private, so I can only surmise the kind of success he usually has when there are women around. It is dangerous to think about – like a poison you administer to yourself. So I think of nothing. My intuition tells me it would be foolish not to grab as much happiness as possible while I can.

2 "

I noticed a long time ago that my mouth, my lips, and anything I may do with them excites him. I know that when we have coffee and croissants together, I can’t lick my lips otherwise Alex will drag me straight to bed, no matter when the last time was. But more important than anything is that I want him – constantly, desperately – and I cannot bear the time we are apart.

3 "

He leans me back against his chest and we are both in complete and utter bliss, but me especially, because the wind and snow outside are unbearably cold. In fact, I called Alex on the way over to moan that I was freezing to death. And now here he is, warming me up with his body and the hot water, his arms wrapped around me. I feel like I’m in an invincible, impregnable wigwam of tenderness and affection. I am at peace, I am in ecstasy, I am in pleasure, I am in healing, I am in purging, I am in love...

4 " Trying to be the MOST good-looking man ever?’
The question doesn’t contain quite as much poison as the tone and intonation in which it is delivered.
‘No, that’s not what it’s about,’ he replies calmly, almost gently, despite the icy expression on his face.
‘What is it about, then?’
‘To be a man, you have to be strong and physically developed.’
‘Come on! "

5 "

One cold February day, I arrive, Alex opens the door, and we immediately embrace without saying a word, not even hello – rules are not for us, everything we do is against the rules. Then, as always, I get lost in his eyes. Even when they’re sad, they are still inexpressibly beautiful, deep, warm, loving. His eyes are what I love the most... and his hands... his lips... his hair... I have no idea what I love the most!

6 " But there is also my brain and it is gently, unobtrusively asking me questions that don’t require answers because the answers are already there: it won’t last; he’s just TOO perfect for me, TOO handsome, TOO sexy; I’m not the one for him, if such a person exists at all. Sooner or later it will come to an end because the feelings disappear, even the strongest ones. They are inexorably broken down by life’s worries and problems and the fears that come with them. But with Alex it will most likely happen sooner rather than later – he is just TOO seductive and virtually all women without exception look at him TOO greedily. When it’s all over, he’ll simply step over us and move on and I... I’ll be abandoned like an empty cigarette packet on a dirty pavement. I have no desire to fade away in the scorching sun, covered in dust and dripping wet with dirty rainwater. "

7 " There are times when I lose all control of my emotions, they explode without warning, and there is absolutely nothing I can do to stop the flow. It is my cross to bear and my efforts to keep it in check are enviable, but restraint has no desire to be my friend this time. "

8 " My ice-cream is melting just as quickly as Danny’s and is dripping down my chin, across my wrist, and onto my thigh. I laugh, throwing my head back and covering my eyes so as not to be blinded by happiness, and it is in this moment of weightlessness that I am suddenly aware of the lightest touch on my skin, like the wings of a butterfly. It flutters against my thigh then lingers on my wrist, but before its delicate wings reach my face, I force my eyes open and see only fragments: pink lips, a tanned cheek, the features and lines of a face silhouetted against the bright sunlight. My nostrils draw in his scent for the very first time and it is so strong that he is not just next to me but intimately close. His smell instantly takes me prisoner, overpowering me to such an extent that I have forgotten who and where I am.
I know that, moments before, Alex was using his lips and tongue to clean the melted ice-cream off my thigh and wrist and inadvertently treating me to the most ecstatic experience of my life. My body and mind are adrift in a sea of bliss, the sounds of the park suddenly fade away, and the world and everyone in it cease to exist. All I can see is a blindingly bright light and all I can feel are a man’s moist lips touching mine. Alex’s hot, passionate mouth is kissing me greedily as if there is finally enough air; as if he had been suffocating, but now he can breathe.
I know that a kiss like this is neither flirting nor dating and can sense with every fibre of my being that it was a sudden impulse, unplanned and impetuous.
When Alex comes to his senses and realises what he has done, I am already staring meaningfully into his eyes. He pulls away slowly and starts to apologise, but I assure him there is no need, just not to do it again. He replies that he won’t, but his eyes say otherwise: he looks as overwhelmed as I feel. "

9 " Well, and the fact that I find it unbelievably difficult to control my hormones when Alex is next to me; it’s like I’m being pulled in. The pull is not just strong, it is overwhelmingly powerful and so unbearable that it feels as if the decision has already been made – the sooner the better – and to hell with pride and good manners; to hell with all of it. "

His smell infuses your body with lust, his eyes drive you crazy, his hair begs to be touched to feel its softness, and his sensual, tender lips crush your willpower and make you his slave forever.

You, but not me.

11 " The thought flits through my mind that dozens of women have probably been here before me, but it is countered by another: ‘I drink from the same glasses as everyone else when I’m in a restaurant and eat from the same plates using the same forks, so what the hell is the difference?’ Especially as restaurants are very careful about cleanliness and these snow-white and perfectly ironed sheets exude the kind of freshness that even newborn babies would envy.

12 "

A hot damp touch on my stomach, another kiss. Then it’s my shoulder, my neck. I feel myself soaring upwards, literally, this time, because Alex is lifting me up. He does this often; he loves carrying me in his arms. It is at moments like these that he probably feels I belong to him and him alone.

13 " Then that look. It is full of energy, and two such looks together would generate a burst of electricity, a nuclear explosion, the climax of the mind game called attraction. "

14 " Holding him tight and kissing his lips, I am suddenly struck by a strange, inexplicable feeling, as if I have rediscovered something lost long ago, something familiar and of the utmost importance. "

15 " I can feel myself falling deeper and deeper with every cell of my being, and it is to my great regret that it is not just a wave of lust. My heart is thumping so loudly that I’m afraid he can hear it.
DON’T FALL IN LOVE.
Just don’t. "

16 "

I love it when he’s happy, because the sadness in his brown eyes makes my heart ache, as I now doubt that truth is where I was told it was, suspecting that I may have even been deceptively and cruelly sent in the wrong direction.

17 " What do you love the most?’ he asks.
‘Dark chocolate and coffee. You?’
‘Looking at you and kissing your lips... "

18 "

Very soon, it becomes clear to me, in the most incomprehensible, most incredible way, that he is seriously in love. It is the only time I have a question that I cannot find an answer to for a very long time, no matter how hard I try: what does he see in me? What?? What exactly does he find so irresistible? My analytical brain comes up with the most outrageous suggestions, but, for the very first time, gets nowhere.

19 " I have just one selfish goal – to take what’s mine while receiving as much pleasure as possible. "

20 " But the fact remains: in terms of physiology and anatomy, we fit together like two jigsaw pieces, much as our voices merged into one, complementing each other, when we sang the song that later became ‘ours’. "
