1 " There is no other woman for me, Sera. It’s only you … Like a fucking addiction I can’t shake.” I couldn’t see his eyes, but I could hear the quaver in his voice, the unstable sound of a man on the edge.“I’ll never be good enough. Not for you. But tonight, I’m going to make you feel good. "

2 " I see you, too, Ty.” I leaned forward brushing my lips across his in a feathery kiss. “Now I’ve seen all of you. "
3 " Y’all heard of Truth or Dare, I’m sure, but we’re going to play Drink or Dare. Here’s how it works. You either drink as much as you’re told, or perform a dare. Once you choose, you can’t go back. And if you pass out, well …” He snorted and tossed back another shot of liquor. “Let’s just say, you don’t wanna pass out. "
4 " Wasn’t that the way of it, though? A person could spend their life searching for some shred of meaning, some reason to explain why they were still alive, only to find it in a woman they’d vowed to destroy. The very reason they were stuck riding a downward spiral into depravity. "
5 " I’d tried to deny my attraction to Ty, to hold tight to what little self-control I could muster around him, but something about the guy drew me in. Like a suicidal moth to a wildfire, he kept pulling me into his heat. Luring me with the promise of something exquisite. Both frightening and exhilarating. "
6 " Everything is temporary, Sera. Homes. Life. Love. What’s the point of getting attached to anything, if it all ends the same?”“Because that’s the beauty of life. It doesn’t all end the same. And even if it’s all temporary, it’s worth it. "
7 " I’d rather have one moment with him than not at all. Even if it wasn’t beautiful and perfect. I’d date the ugly and messy just to feel it. To feel everything. "
8 " Every minute of this is a piece of my destruction.” His ragged voice sent a shiver down my spine. “You’re going to destroy me, angel. "
9 " Ty? Did you save me tonight?”... He shook his head and stroked his hand down my hair again. “No. You saved me. "
10 " I couldn’t abandon the plan, even if the final name on my list belonged to the father of the woman I’d become obsessed with. The woman who could very well be the end of me, instead.What poetic justice.My vengeance and the only thing in the world that could possibly redeem me. "
11 " My head’s all messed up. I got this noise banging around my skull all the time, but when I’m with you, it’s quiet. It all goes away. "
12 " I was drawn to her light. Her purity and innocence, as if I’d been buried alive in a cold dark tomb for too long, before being given one breath, one moment of warmth on my skin. I craved her as much as the air and the heat I needed to feel alive again. "
13 " Having her in my arms made me feel invincible. Stronger. It made me realize the risks I was willing to take for her, to be able to stare into my future again without flinching. She made me reckless. Fearless.Intrepid. "
