1 " The sex, that's good, but it's not the prize. Trust is the prize, and the fight's not about winning it or keeping it. It's about deserving it, and that's a fight a man's got to have with himself. Every fucking day. "
― Kit Rocha , Beyond: Volume One (Beyond, #1-3)
2 " She'd have to trust Jasper, knowing he was human. Knowing he could hurt her, even when he didn't mean to. She'd have to trust that he'd do his best, and make amends when his best wasn't enough. "
3 " No one's quite like you, boy, and thank God for that. You wouldn't have stopped until you'd taken everything that was bolted down." "I brought it all back. "
4 " White looked good on him, especially with all the engine grease. His T-shirt clung, the sleeves stretching wide over flexing biceps. "
5 " This jolt, the way his touch shivered along her nerve endings as if her instincts couldn't decide if he meant blissful safety or delicious danger. "
6 " The rasp in his voice did her in. It wasn't the lazy boredom of a jackass who wanted a warm place to stick his dick. It was edgy. "
7 " Bren can handle it," she said finally. "And if he can't, he'll let you know. He won't let his ego choke the shit out of him. "
8 " Don't get dead. "
9 " You didn't give me a chance to take care of you." An idea he could still barely wrap his head around. "No one does, Six. Not like you mean." "Because you have to let them. And it's hard." Her hands trembled, and she crossed her arms over her chest, as if to hide it. "You have to trust someone to see you when you're weak. And you have to trust yourself to leave if they break you. "
10 " Men think they like wide-eyed innocence until someone like you swallows their cock down like she can't get enough of it. "
11 " Dallas sprawled behind, and Six had no doubt the man was aware of everything. Of Lex and Rachel, of the area beyond their circle of light, of every possible variable. Hell, he probably knew how many breaths Six had taken since she sat down. "
12 " She could still hear the music, feel the way he'd matched the rhythm beat for beat with slippery circles on her clit. "
13 " She was a freak, and she'd never given less of a fuck. "
14 " The shit with Trent, it wasn't black and white. Obvious. It's not like we went to bed happy one night, and I woke up with him beating on me. I'm not sure when it got bad, only that by the time I realized it was, it felt like it had been bad forever." "And then you fought "
15 " Because he's black?" Bren shook his head with a snort. "No, Dallas doesn't give a shit. Hard to believe there are people around who still do." "Dumb people." Six couldn't help her wry laugh. "They still care if you have tits, too. Dumb people care about lots of silly things." "Yeah, they do. "
