1 " Love by its definition is a lie, its true definition is work and a fuck lot of it. It also means so much more than that one syllable. It’s a one-word representation of everything that can make or break a person. Love is only meant for the brave. "
― Kate Stewart , The Real
2 " Hers was the love I craved all along. It was a gift. And real love is a fucking miracle. And if you’re lucky enough to find it, you throw every one of your preconceived notions away and you hold onto it with every ounce of your being, because it’s unforgiving in its wrath and if you’re not careful it will let go of you as fast as it took hold. "
3 " Look at me,” he whispered. “This is me at my worst. Please don’t do this to us.” “I didn’t do this.”“You’re right. I did. Love me anyway. "
4 " I want to taste you in every way a man can taste a woman, savor you on my tongue and swallow. I’m dying to know what you sound like moaning my name. I’m fucking dying, Abbie, just to kiss you. But I can wait. I will wait. I will wait as long as it takes. "
5 " I need this. I needed this so much,” he declared before he shut his eyes tight. When they opened, they were full of emotion. “Tell me I can have this, tell me I can be this happy. Tell me I can have you. "
6 " I’m dangerously in love with you, so much so that I’m going to lose my fucking mind if you don’t tell me again that you feel the same. "
7 " Why me?”“Why not you? I’m not interested in anyfuckingthing else. Nothing. But. You. This, you and me, is all I look forward to. And it already feels better than all the woos before you. "
8 " What are you doing to me?” he whispered. “Strike that, I know what’s happening here.”I let myself ask the question. I had to know. “Do you want it to happen?”“More than anything. I hope you believe me.”“I’ll believe you if that what you want.”“Good. Because I want you.”“You have me.”“Then I’m falling in the right direction. "
9 " Love by its definition is a lie, its true definition is work and a fuck lot of it. "
10 " The only thing that could trump you today, Abbie, is you tomorrow. And I don’t want to be without you tomorrow. "
11 " A kiss can be an introduction, statement, and a promise. I plan to make all three when you let me. "
12 " When did you move in?” I asked.“Too long ago to still have packed boxes. I just wasn’t sure if I was staying here.”“Really? Why?”He shrugged. “I just wasn’t sure where I wanted to call home.”“And now?”One side of his mouth lifted. “Now, I’ve got an incentive to stick around.”“You flatter me.”“You fucking floor me. "
13 " Cameron,” I said, unable to put into words what I was feeling. Instead, I buried my head in his shoulder. “Where in the hell have you been?”“Anywhere but where I needed to be,” he whispered softly. "
14 " Abbie, I had no idea what this would be. You have to believe I didn’t know it was you I was looking for. This, us, it means everything to me. I didn’t expect this. "
15 " Just so you know, you and me, we are absolute. "
16 " From looks alone, he was the type of man you dressed up for. And if Old Jade Eyes and I had a future, he was staring at worst case scenario and smiling at it. He was dressed in knee-length, black mesh sports shorts and a gray hoodie. His Nikes looked new. He lifted an eyebrow, as my Mac pinged with an invitation for AirDrop. His name was no longer a mystery, and I felt a little panic creep in. Cameron’s Mac: Hi. "
17 " Though it was warmer today, he was bundled up in a hoodie and wearing a ball cap which was a first. He looked exhausted and for the first time ever, thrown together. Something was . . . off. Abbie’s Mac: Things looked serious over there when I got here. Everything okay? Are you getting sick? He gave me a mustered wink as he did a slow perusal of me from the tip of my ankle boots to the top of my head. I didn’t know how he did it with a look alone, but by the time he was done, I felt worshiped. We’d been having coffee every day for the last week and I had to admit I was growing tired of my own rules. Cameron’s Mac: And now you’re worried about me? Everything’s fine, nothing a little sleep can’t fix. Besides, there’s a lot more I’m interested in going on over there. Abbie’s Mac: I’ll take that as a compliment. Cameron’s Mac: As you should. Fuck, you’re beautiful. Though the sky was gray, I felt covered in sun. "
18 " I’m strung out on you right now, woman,” he groaned as he traced my lips with his finger. "
19 " I’m not going to end up like you. Mid-thirties, ugly, and alone. But I’ll be back later.”“What in the hell for?”“Someone has to keep you drunk.”“Some would argue that that’s not being a friend but an enabler.”“Some would say I know better for you and others can suck my cock. "
20 " I needed somehow to break through, to show him it was okay to be both men with me. The one who could show strength and weakness, and to let him know I would love him the same no matter what. "
