1 " when it’s family, Nick, there’s a limit to the shit I’ll eat. But there is no limit to the love I’ll give. "
― Kristen Ashley , Sebring (Unfinished Hero, #5)
2 " The instant I caught sight of him, I froze. He was tall. His eyes were the color of the ocean. And he made me believe that I could want something, take it and have it. Own it. Keep it. Something precious would be mine. "
3 " Jesus, you’re a bossy motherfucker,” Nick muttered. “Then again, you always were.” “You don’t know the half of it,” Knight muttered back, but did it grinning. "
4 " I’m gonna walk out of here not touching you and the last thing you’re gonna hear from me is that I love you, baby. Fuck, I so fuckin’ love you. "
5 " Just so you don’t forget,” he began. “You mean more to me today than you did yesterday.” Her lips parted and her eyes got bright a different way. “And yesterday you meant a fuckuva lot to me, "
6 " Swear to Christ, you’re safe right here. I can give you that, Olivia. I can give you the night. I promise you that. "
7 " I’m not bawling.” “You were close.” “You were being sweet.” “Like I said, get used to that.” “Then you were an ass.” “You should probably get used to that too. "
8 " For reasons I could not fathom, I did something I knew it was pure insanity, pure torment to do. I believed. For one magnificent second, connected to Nick Sebring, I believed. I believed in a better world. I believed I could feel complete. I believed I could have someone by my side. I believed I could feel safe. I believed I could be happy. I believed I could be loved. I believed in a dawn coming where I would open my eyes and have all of this only for it to lead to another day dawning where I’d have it and then another day… And another… And another… And another… Until I no longer existed on this world. "
9 " Anything about anyone is attractive as long as they’re the kind of person who can be attractive however that comes about. Including scars. "
10 " Sometimes you kill me, baby. "
11 " But one thing you do still gotta learn is, when it’s family, Nick, there’s a limit to the shit I’ll eat. But there is no limit to the love I’ll give. "
12 " Wars fought over a face like this. A man would work himself into the ground for it, go down to his knees to beg to keep it, endure torture to protect it, take a bullet for it, poison his brother to possess a face like this. "
13 " That’s the all-American dessert. Any proud, red-blooded American should easily be able to consume a huge bowl of that with a smile before they went off to plant a flag somewhere or win a gold medal or something.” “That is not the dessert of champions, baby.” “It most certainly is.” “My arteries hardened just looking at it. "
14 " he nearly burst out laughing at the uppity annoyed princess look she had on her face. He "
15 " Knight’s eyes settled on his woman and his, “Baby,” was a warning. Anya’s glare stayed glued to her man in a way Nick knew she was telling him he could shove his warning right up his ass. He "
16 " But we don’t live in a perfect world, Knight.” “I do, certain times a day, those bein’ when I walk over that threshold,” he stated, jerking his chin toward the front door. "
17 " Beauty bound. She was not a ghost who could be seen. She was a hostage in a lavish cage. "
18 " His brother stopped smiling and stated, “You don’t got much left to learn. You set about learning it and you didn’t fuck around doin’ it right. But one thing you do still gotta learn is, when it’s family, Nick, there’s a limit to the shit I’ll eat. But there is no limit to the love I’ll give. "
19 " I was never okay but that wasn’t for then or ever, for him or anyone. It was just what it was and it was all for me. "
20 " Now,” he rolled me to my back, “with all that shit, I’m not fine.” His mouth came to mine. “So we’re fucking until I feel better. "
