22 " I wasn’t…some sort of dangerous criminal, Kyrie. "
23 " No, give me a guy who’s in decent shape, who can hold an interesting conversation any day of the week. Give me a guy who can show me a good time without having to flex his muscles six times a minute, just to make sure they’re still there. "
24 " Can you carry me to bed? Can you last long enough to make me come? Those are the important things. Get me to bed, get me off. If you can manage those things, I’ll be impressed. "
25 " Use the muscle in your skull, and then the one in your pants. Impress me with your vocabulary, and then your sexual attentiveness. "

29 " Falling in love. A strange phrase, so common as to be nearly useless, a kind of semantic saturation on a cultural level.

33 " The Lions suck, they’ve always sucked and they will always suck. "
34 " One guy had even called me “deliciously fuckable”; I’d had mixed feelings about that one. "
35 " From the moment his lips met mine, I knew he was a master of this, the art of seduction through a kiss. "
36 " But never, before this moment, had there ever been a kiss that stole my will to pull away, that devoured my capacity for thought, that removed my ability to resist, to feel anything but the kiss. "
37 " Sometimes... I think sometimes, Key, there is no right thing. There's just... the best thing. "
38 " Sometimes…I think sometimes, Key, there is no right thing. There’s just…the best thing. The only thing. I’m not saying I know what that is for you, but I think you do. You’re just…avoiding it. "
39 " Before I begin, know this: You are mine. You will always be mine. And I take care of what is mine. So if you do walk away… you will have no worries. Never again, no matter what "
