1 " I'm not stubborn. My way is just better. "
― Maya Banks , Rush (Breathless, #1)
2 " As if he conveyed by actions what he could never say in words. Would never say in words. "
3 " And maybe that’s was her biggest crime of all. Making him fall in love with her. "
4 " One song bled into another and they remained locked together, neither willing to break the intimacy that surrounded them, concealing them in the small space the two occupied. "
5 " Some crushes just never went away. They built, instead, into something permanent, obsessive and all consuming. "
6 " She wasn't afraid of him, and he liked that. He didn't want a meek mouse, no matter that he wanted someone utterly submissive. There was a difference between submissive and spineless. "
7 " Was he demanding? Hell yes, but he wasn’t selfish. He took. He was ruthless in his demands. But he gave her back so much. Not just materially but emotionally, though he’d likely deny he did any such thing. "
8 " Taking the leap felt appropriate. Only it wasn’t just a short hop. It was a full plunge off a cliff. "
9 " Tell me what you need.""You," she said simply, that one word tearing to the very heart of him. "Just you. "
10 " Maybe I didn't always know what I was missing, but it was you. Always you. "
11 " Love made her patient. It made her hopeful. "
12 " He’d never get over her. He knew that without hesitation or doubt. He loved her. As deeply as it was possible to love another person. And God, he wanted her. Every day. In hit life. As much a part of him as he would be of her. "
13 " I want babies too," he said huskily. "Daughters as beautiful as you are. "
14 " You can't control everything. You can't control how someone feels about you. Or what makes them tick. You can only control how you react, how you act, how you think and feel. "
15 " Decide what makes you happy and damn what anyone else thinks or says "
16 " He was better than any drug, any remedy for her illness. "
17 " You need to worry less about what everyone else thinks and focus on what makes you happy "
18 " He kissed her as though he were starved for her. Like he'd been held away from her and had finally broken free. It was the kind of kiss that lived only in her fantasies. No one had ever made her feel so..consumed. "
19 " I want forever with you. "
20 " If you ever wake up and see the light and decide you want me back? You're going to have to crawl. "
