1 " I buy us hot dogs and try not to watch Emma eat hers. I’m must full of great ideas these days. Yeah, buy her some phallic food and dare your dick not to jump. What a fun game this is. In fact, why stop here? I’m sure she could go for a banana or, better yet, a Popsicle. Shit, what the hell is wrong with me? "

2 " Who did this to you?” I whisper.His gaze falls to my hands. His lips turn up in amusement. The expression is so strange until I realize he’s staring at my clenched fists.“You aching for a fight?”“Who hurt you, Aiden?” I ask again. My fingernails dig into the flesh of my palm.He leans closer until his mouth hovers close to my ear. “You gonna fight my demons for me? Will you kill the monsters who haunt me? "
3 " Sometimes it doesn’t take much. The things everyone else takes for granted go deeper for those who are traumatized. "
4 " His smile is sad. “You've been carrying it for a long time, Emma. Let someone else carry it for a while. "
5 " She stands and puts her hands on her hips. She clenches her teeth while she talks. “I don’t watch porn.”“Don’t be a liar, Cooper. Everyone watches porn. That’s one thing we outsiders have in common with the normal people. It bonds us. Don’t break the bond. Admit it. "
6 " Wait what do you mean by lovelies?”The pretty blush crawls across her collarbone. “Shut up. Don’t make fun of my euphemism.”“You can say a word like euphemism, but not vagina.”She makes a disgusted face. “It’s an ugly word.”But it’s such a beautiful thing.“I prefer to call my stuff lovelies. The bottom line is my lovelies are for my own private enjoyment not public consumption.”I nod slowly. “Uh huh. How about you replay that sentence in your head again, Cooper.” “What I said…” She face palms herself. “Shit, it makes me sound like I masturbate a lot.”“Yeah, it does, but there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s nice we have so much in common. "
7 " There is nothing in the world that can make me forget you. There is no ignoring what I’m feeling. There is no letting you go. "
8 " I’ve been waiting for this, but I want to take my time. To make it good for you. I worry if I can. I want you too much … Let me fuck you like the animal I am. "
9 " Cut me a break, Emma. I’m in new territory with no map or compass. Give me a second to find my way to you...please. "
10 " I tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “Don’t let me lose you.”“You won’t. "
