1 " I love your family, and I owe them a lot. Your brothers are my brothers. Gabby and Charly are my sisters, or as close as possible without actually sharing DNA.“But I don’t have those same feelings about you, Van. I don’t feel brotherly at all with you. "

2 " Are you having more babies?” Declan asks Rhys who shakes his head.“No, we’re happy with the two we have. I got snipped last year.”We all stare at him in horror.“It’s far easier for me to take care of it than for her, so why not? I protect her. That’s what I fucking do.”“Good man,” Simon says with a nod. "
3 " I always thought that just having you in my life was enough. As long as you were happy and healthy, it was enough to be on the outside looking in, but it’s just not good enough anymore. "
4 " Um, Ben?”“Yes, Angel.”“Are you pierced?”His lips tip up into a smile. “I am. "
5 " You’re everything good in my life, and you’re mine. I protect what’s mine. "
6 " I always thought that just having you in my life was enough. As long as you were happy and healthy, it was enough to be on the outside looking in, but it’s just not good enough anymore.” He "
7 " This is what I want,” he whispers. “You are what I want, Savannah. "
8 " You didn’t just survive, Van. You thrived. You’re the strongest person I know, and I’m damn proud of you. "
9 " I cross to her and kiss her forehead, not touching her anywhere else.She smells like sunshine and strawberries.She smells like she used to before her life went sideways.Fuck me, I want her. "
10 " For a guy who can be such a badass, you’re sure a softie when it comes to women.”“As far as I know, that’s how it’s supposed to be. "
11 " I want to hold her. I want to hug her and not let go. I want to kiss those sweet, plump lips and run my hands all over her little body.And I want to lie in bed and talk all through the night about nothing at all.And that’s something I’ve never wanted to do with another woman in my life. "
12 " You’re amazing, Savannah.” He presses his lips ever so gently to the soft skin below my ear. “You’re the most fantastic person I’ve ever known in my life, and I love you so much my body aches with it. "
13 " I don’t want to fuck this up, Savannah. We worked too hard to get here.”“We’re not going to fuck it up.” I tuck my face in his neck and breathe him in. “I heard a saying once. His love roars louder than her demons. I can’t explain this any better than that. "
14 " I’m in love with her. She’s the most amazing woman I’ve ever known, and she’s finally mine. I’m not going to do anything to fuck that up. "
15 " I love you, heart and soul, and nothing is ever going to change that. "
16 " What I had before was dark and evil and wrong. It wasn’t love. It was never love.“This, right here, is love. "
17 " You’re everything.” He kisses me, his lips much gentler than the rest of him. “You are the beginning and the end of me, Savannah. I don’t work without you. "
18 " What do you think of my hair?”It’s heaven.“It’s fine.”“You don’t like it.”He shrugs again. “I liked it long.”For half a second, I regret chopping it off, taking it from almost reaching my butt to just barely reaching my shoulders.But then I let it roll off of me because I do like it. I have to live with it. No man is ever going to tell me how I should wear my hair. This isn’t the dark ages. "
19 " I need to think this all over. I need to know that if I can’t pursue a relationship with you, I won’t completely lose you, Ben.” “You’ll never lose me, Vanny.” “You might lose me if you keep calling me that.” He "
20 " People fit differently in our lives at different times. You weren’t meant to be with him until now, because you weren’t the person you are until now.” “I "
