1 " That’s how selfish I am. It’s not enough to watch you ride my dick. I want you to love it. Need it. Choose it. "
― Kit Rocha , Beyond Addiction (Beyond, #5)
2 " I try not to make the same mistake more than three or four times.” “An admirable trait. "
3 " So you want to let it go before it gets snatched away. "
4 " They were filthy in their own ways. Without shame and without judgement, and it was the most intoxicating fucking thing he’d ever seen. You couldn’t bottle the high that came with loving acceptance. You couldn’t buy it.You had to earn it. "
5 " A whole damn life of bliss and hope and tripping over rainbows. "
6 " Nothing was quite as unfair as a world where the right choice was the one that hurt the one person he needed to protect. "
7 " Through a solid wall, maybe.” Bren patted the backpack slung over his shoulder. “But that’s where I come in.” Finn raised an eyebrow. “I always heard you were a sniper, not an explosives nut.” “Nut is such a strong word. I prefer enthusiast. "
8 " You’re in O’Kane territory now. We do what we want, and fuck whoever doesn’t like it. "

11 " Fuck the drugs. He could make her feel good just like this. "
12 " Despair was no different than drugs or booze or gambling—it could become a habit, just as easily as anything else. "
13 " So much for our pretensions. If this is how we’re defining democracy now, I’m ready for a little anarchy. "
14 " Fight night, the night the O’Kanes stepped down from their holier-than-thou pedestals and punched each other in the face for giggles. "
15 " Drugs didn’t have to be a messy business anymore, because science had taken addiction out of the equation. "
16 " Agony. There was no other word for it, not just the pain but the craving. The bone-deep knowledge that she’d die without the drugs, the moments where she would have done anything to end the torment. "
17 " It’s going to be war, one way or another. Only question is who hits first. And who hits hardest. "
18 " As if getting her off could ever be penance. "
19 " Everything. He could give her that. "
20 " I’m yours for as long as I can be. "
