2 " He's wrong for me. Dangerous. Desire doesn't ask questions. Neither does love. "
3 " Stories are powerful." They're life and death. They're survival. "
4 " I wanted to touch you since I first saw you walk onto the stage. Whether I have to pay or not, whether you return the favor or not, I don’t give a fuck. I’m going to finger this pretty cunt until you gush all over my hand. I’m going to keep going until you’re slick with it, until my jeans are damp with you, until the scent of your sex is in the air. "
5 " He's like a lion hiding in the tall grass. Only in this case they're tall buildings of steel and concrete. By the time the gazelle sees him, it's too late. "
6 " He's something else. Something dark and serious and solemn. His hands mesmerize me, so large and strong and yet careful. He's stone, rough-edged and impenetrable. And I am air, already blowing away. "
7 " He is his own planet, terrain to be explored, mountains to climb and oceans to drown in. "
8 " I think of Peter Pan flying off into Neverland, taking Wendy with him. I think of sword fights and fairies. That's how it feels in the clearing—like magic. "
9 " We're a long way from the man who told me about poetry and childhood dreams, but I can't forget that he did. He's the same man, light and dark, petal and thorn. "
10 " I'm afraid of the wind, afraid of its force, but what I didn't realize is that the greater danger lay ahead of me. Kip is my cliff. Every gust of wind pushes me closer. It's only a matter of time before I fall. "
11 " I’m only a warm body for him to use, and I need to be that for him "
12 " They want to use us like therapists and then fuck us after. It’s a kind of foreplay "
13 " Stories are powerful "
14 " I want you like this. Spread open. Waiting for me to do whatever I want to you "
15 " I meant it. Don’t ever doubt that you’re loved. Don’t doubt I’d do anything for you "
16 " Sex is a battlefield, and this concrete floor is my country to defend "
17 " I hate the name, and I think he knows that. It’s a hammer. Every time I hear it, I sink a little deeper into the wood "
18 " I don’t know much about trust. It’s a language I don’t speak "
19 " I needed a savior. Not to get me out of danger. I ran away myself. I survived myself. I needed a savior, because I needed someone to care "
20 " We’ll do anything for the people we love, even rely on the ones we hate "
