1 " When you meet the girl who’ll be sitting on the front porch holding your hand when you’re eighty, you don’t let a thing like cool dismissive looks, big brothers, or fucking rules stand in your way. "
― Jen Frederick , Sacked (Gridiron, #1)
2 " If all I wanted was a quick lay, you and I both know I could get that without any effort. I want something more than that from you.”“Welcome to disappointment. It’s character building.”… “I’m not experienced, but I know when a girl is into me, and you're into me. You want to play it casual, then that's how we play it... for now. But fair warning, I'm bringing everything I’ve got to tear down your resistance. My specialty is reading plays and then overcoming the barriers. "
3 " We didn’t fall for each other. We fell into each other. "
4 " Football players are all different, but their focus is the same— winning, whether it’s on the field or off.” “Yeah,” Riley sighs. “It’s the same everywhere. Most of the guys I’ve met just want to hook up.” “I think I’d marry the first guy who hit on me in the bookstore. "
5 " We don’t get to pick the family we’re born into,” he says into the quiet night. “But we do get to choose the family we live with. I choose you. You’re all that I’ll ever want. "
6 " Masters, this won’t go anywhere.” He draws back slightly and frowns. “Is that how you think of me? As Masters? I’m not your teammate.” “I’m not anything to you.” The side of his mouth quirks up. “That’s what you think. "
7 " No. I wish you actually had a high-powered vibrator in your room instead of the sewing machine. I can’t hump that, can I? "
8 " Knox Masters is exactly the type of guy I want to date. He dominates a sport I love. He’s confident but not arrogant. He’s funny, able to laugh at himself, and… shit, hot as the fires of Mordor. I mean, the One Ring could be forged in his hotness. I want him. "
9 " Laughing, I lean over and kiss him on the cheek. “You can fill me in later at the hotel room, and I'll be in the proper position to say yes. "
10 " We share a groan when I’m fully seated. She starts squeezing immediately with those goddamn muscles of hers.I gasp. “Give me a minute, baby. I need to catch my breath.”Her body quakes against mine as she laughs. “I thought you were this big strong athlete with loads of stamina and discipline.”“I practice football, not sexual Olympics,” I retort. She squeezes me again. "
11 " I’m all for you exploring new shit, but guys are dicks regardless of whether they wear a jock strap or a pocket protector.” “That's a ringing endorsement of your gender. "
12 " The discipline this guy has amazes me. “You're big into delayed gratification.”“Waiting can be worth it.”“How would you know?”He laughs. He throws his head back, and the deep rumble starts in his body and ends in mine. Fuck me. He’s gorgeous, talented and has a goddamned sense of humor.Life is so unfair. "
13 " I’m all for you exploring new shit, but guys are dicks regardless of whether they wear a jock strap or a pocket protector. "
14 " rummage around in the freezer. “Burritos?” “Hammer having a party tonight?” We look at each other and then the burrito. I toss it back into the freezer. “Right. Nothing says sexy like ripping one while you’re trying to close the deal. "
15 " I can’t tell if you want it to be true,” he says in a low voice that I feel as if I’m the only one who can hear. “I don’t know either,” I tell him honestly. “But if you are, I think I need to go to church tomorrow, because that means impossible things exist like unicorns and the resurrection.” He laughs then, a wide mouthed, white teeth flashing. “Tomorrow’s Friday.” I nod. “I know, but it can’t ever be too early to repent. "
16 " I’ve taken more satisfying dumps than the blowjobs those fuckups got. "
17 " Kannan? "
18 " I told myself one more page and then the clock flashed three in the morning. "
19 " He throws himself onto my bed. “What you’re essentially saying is that if your roommate is a great chick, fun to hang out with, totally normal, then she’s off limits. If she’s burn-the-bunny crazy, though, she’s all mine. "
20 " God, I don't know why I'm telling you this.”Because you know it’s me. That I’m the one for you, just as you’re the one for me. "
