1 " Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. "
― Jay Crownover , Built (Saints of Denver, #1)
2 " After everything the past has tried to bury us under, we owe it to ourselves to be brave, to do more than float. "
3 " I choose you, Sayer. Lover, lawyer, and all the shit you are in between that, I choose it. I choose us. when you’re ready to accept that, you come find me. "
4 " I have not failed. I’ve just found ten thousand ways that won’t work. —Thomas A. Edison "
5 " Sure. She’s classy, elegant, made of sturdy stuff, expensive as hell to keep running and keep pretty. She’s only good to me if I’m good to her, so obviously she’s a girl. "
6 " What did the lawyer say?” I couldn’t stop the little snicker that slipped out as I sat back up in the seat and laced my fingers behind my head. “Before or after I kissed her?”“Zeb!” My mom gave me a hard look and my sister just shook her head. "
7 " I don't need luck. I have you. "
8 " Where you have been doesn't define who you are, Zeb. I told you that when we first met that I understand that people make mistakes. "
9 " Everything was tied together with thin threads of fate, and when one loosened or tightened it was surprising how impactful it could be. "
10 " I didn't want to be the thing that made her shatter. She might be a problem solver but I was Mr. Fixit. I didn't break things, I repaired them. "
11 " In the next minute your pants are coming off, my dick is coming all the way out, I’m getting suited up, and then I’m going to be so deep inside of you that all those fears, all that hesitation you’re watching me through, won’t have any room to fit. There’s only going to be room for me and the way we feel when we’re together. "
12 " I liked kissing, I liked the press of mouths together, and the way you could tell what kind of man you had on your hands by how skilled or terrible he was at such a simple act. I liked that kissing was intimate and involved without having to have all your cards on the table, but more than any of that, I like that kissing spoke to exactly how into you the guy laying it on you was. If it was a peck on the cheek or a brush on the lips it meant there was no spark, if there was a closed lip press and no tease of the tongue it meant that he found you attractive and kissable but probably wasn't going to put forth the effort to be worthy of you. If there was a nibble of teeth and swirl of the tongue there was promise and potential than there was whatever Zeb was doing to me. It felt like conquering a victory. A battle fought and won. If felt like he was trying to make it so I would never be able to kiss anyone else in my life without having to compare it to this moment "
13 " You seem....unsettled." Was "unsettled" another word for horny enough to climb the walls? Because if so, then yes, I was most definitely unsettled. "
14 " You can't deny that there is something there between us when we get close to one another that is completely unprofessional. I want your help, Sayer, but I want you, too. "
15 " If there was such a think as being tragically flawless and ferociously immaculate, then those were conditions that she definitely suffered from. "
16 " I was caught up in the tempest of this woman and I was in no hurry to get myself free of her. "
17 " It felt like he was trying to make it so I would never be able to kiss anyone else in my life without having to compare it to this moment. "
18 " Is that a Buffy the Vampire Slayer poster behind your desk?” I couldn’t keep the humor and stunned shock out of my voice. She laughed and pulled me toward the kitchen. “Team Spike forever. "
19 " He grinned at me before putting the glass up to his lips and I wanted to have a serious talk with my vagina for not even kind of taking notice or perking up. "
20 " They all had spouses and lovers who took some work and yet they never complained or asked for anyone easier. "
