1 " But as always he didn't want to burden any of them with his shit. He'd hidden his real feelings about just about everything for as long as he could remember. "

2 " I’ll be waiting outside.Why?The dots bounced on the screen and she bit her lip, curious what his intentions were. Because I’ve waited three days already.Dots.Because I’m trying not to crowd you.Dots.Because I can’t wait until the day after.Dots.Because I missed you.Dots.Because I love talking with you.Dots.Because I get hard when I think about you.Dots.Because waiting is what I am willing to do until you see me as who I am now, not who I was then.Dots.Because you are worth every fucking hoop you ask me to jump through. "
3 " Don’t,” Nik said, stepping closer to her. “Don’t reduce our history to a five-second dismissal when I haven’t seen you in nearly a decade.”…“You broke me into a million pieces I have never been able to put back together properly, and I hate you for that. "
4 " I let you walk away without a fight when I was a messed-up twenty-three-year-old who hadn’t figured out his place in the world. I can wait as long as you need to get your hear around the fact that I’m back. I can wait even longer until you trust me again because I know I have a lot to make up for. "
5 " I don’t want what we were to be the sum total of everything we ever add up to.”… “Just let me back into your life, Jenny. Let me earn your trust. I won’t let you down again. "
6 " I don’t think you realize that you ruined me for everybody else. Including you,” she said. “I can’t do falling in love. I can’t do depending on someone else ever again.Nik placed his hand on her cheek. “I get it. That’s why I am here. I know I’ve got an uphill battle to get you to trust me again, but I’m ready to do the work. It’s going to take time, but I’m going to show you that it’s okay to depend on me because I’ll be there for you a thousand times over. "
7 " So where do we go from here?”…“That’s up to you, sweetheart. I’m yours, Jenny. I always have been. The question is, are you still mine? "
8 " I can’t take away the pain I caused, but I want to dilute the shit out of it by being there for you over and over and over. Even if we never get past this. Even if we can’t get back what we had. I’m going to be right here for you, every time you need me. "
9 " You feel so good, every inch of you. You want to be reminded just how good we were together? Then feel this. Feel how hard I am for you, listen to how breathless you make me, know that no matter how long tonight lasts, you own me.” He pressed himself into the very sweet spot between her thighs, and she arched her back in response. “Tell me you want me to make love to you. Tell me you want this, Jenny, because I want you more than I want my next breath. "
