21 " You're like the sun-completely blind to your own beauty because you are so busy making everyone around you shine. No matter how far we hide in the shadows, you share your light. That's how you stole my heart when no one else could find it. "
― Lexi Ryan , Lost in Me (Here and Now, #1)
22 " For a woman who claims to be an open book, you hide so much.” He runs his thumb down the side of my neck, over the hollow in my collarbone. “Next time you strip for me, you’re taking off more than your clothes. "

23 " Is that a cell phone in your pocket,” I whisper up at him, “or did I misplace my vibrator? "
24 " Are you seeing anyone, Maggie?” My mother’s voice is low, the whisper reserved for talk of scandal—like premarital cohabitation and non-procreative sex. “Are you even trying to find love? Or do you intend to continue fornicating with random men outside the sanctity of marriage?”“So if I were married I’d have your blessing to fornicate with random men? Maybe I should reconsider my stance on marriage.” The words are out of my mouth before I can stop them. I’m batting zero on the New Me plan. "
25 " You know how much you can hurt a girl’s ego by turning her down when she’s stripped in front of you?” I put my hand to my chest. “I’ll probably be in counseling for months to repair the damage.”“Somehow I think you can handle it.”“Games,” I mutter. “Emotionally speaking, I’m going to be the man in this relationship, aren’t I?”“You certainly aren’t like any woman I’ve ever met before. "
26 " And what if I want you?” I ask softly.“I’m here, aren’t I?”“You are. You keep coming back. For what? What is this between us?”He slides a hand into my hair and leads me to lean into him again. “It’s whatever you want it to be, gorgeous. With one exception.”“What’s that?”“It’s not just sex. That’s why I won’t sleep with you. I won’t let this be just sex.”That makes me smile. “Why me, Asher? I’m just some small-town slut with too much baggage. You could have anyone.” I can feel his heart beating against my cheek and its steady pace increases at my question. “Why me?”“Sweetheart, when you know the answer to that question, we won’t be talking anymore.”I pull back and blink at him. “You’ll be gone?”His lips quirk. “I’ll be inside you. "
27 " Let me break down these walls you keep hiding behind. "
28 " You’re staring at me,” I protest between bites of crawfish etouffee.Asher lifts a shoulder. “Just watching in case you get foodgasmic again.”I hum as I swallow a particularly decadent bite. “I’m close. You like to watch, huh?”His pupils dilate and his jaw goes a little slack as his gaze drops to my mouth. Just like that, we’re not talking about food anymore. Maybe we never were. "
29 " Tell me what you need from me, Maggie. You can have it. You know that. Anything. "
30 " Don't lump me in with them." His jaw is hard now. "I'm not like them. "
31 " He steps into the studio and I take a step back to give him space, but he follows me, backing me into a corner until he’s leaning over me, his hands pressed into the wall, the heat of his body warming mine.His eyes are on my mouth, but something hard and angry ticks in his jaw.“Okay,” I say, sighing dramatically. “I guess you can do me against the wall. "
32 " Curses are made of secrets and sacrifice. We will suffer as long as she pays the price. "

33 " Why do you care so much?" "Why are you still hiding from me? "
34 " I love you, Hanna,” he says softly, and more surprising than the words is this feeling in my chest. As if something there knows what he says is true, even if my mind can’t remember how we got here. “I… "
35 " IF you're broken, I'll fix you "
36 " Every time I say goodbye, I tell myself that's it. That I'll end it. Because you deserve that. But I'm weak and selfish as shit and keep calling you back because I can't get enough of you. "
37 " You think I don't want to kiss you? Half the time I can't think of anything else. "
38 " The thing you want so desperately that the idea of having it makes you as sick to your stomach as the idea of never having it? "

39 " A vocalist joins the organ and the hum of whispers quiets—a swarm of killer bees distracted from their target as they remember the reason for their presence. "
40 " Don’t be afraid to shatter, baby, if that will set you free. I’ll find you in the pieces and that will unbreak me. "
