1 " You’re worried about being hurt, when the only thing I’m thinking about is how good I could make you feel. I’d make you lose your mind, beautiful.”“I don’t doubt that. "
― A.L. Jackson , All of Me (Confessions of the Heart, #2)
2 " You might be able to pretend as if you don’t matter. As if I don’t matter. As if the people who come into your life don’t matter, whether if it’s for a fleeting moment or for years.”Her delicate throat trembled. “But that isn’t me. People matter. A man touching me will always mean something, and you assuming that it doesn’t is a reminder that I deserve so much more than what you’re willing to offer. "
3 " He arched a brow, voice so rough and low. “Don’t tell me you don’t feel this. That you don’t want to explore it.”“Just because I might want something, it doesn’t mean it’s good for me.”“Oh, I can promise you it will be good. "
4 " You told me in that text that you’ve never been a girl who was afraid to live her life. To step out and take a chance. And fuck, Grace, I’m standing here, right now, asking you to take a chance on me. "
5 " You make me feel like I’m standing at the edge of something brilliant. Something significant,” I confessed in a twined rasp of words. “You make me feel something…want something that I don’t think I’ve ever wanted in all my life. Something I’m not sure I even understand. "
6 " A frown marred his brow. “It’s crazy that I even want to be in your light. I usually run from it. As far as I can. You’re exactly the type of girl I stay away from. And when it comes to you, the only thing I want is more. Again and again. What scares me most is I’m not sure I could ever get enough. "
7 " You’re going to ruin me, Angel Girl.”“And you’re going to save me. "
8 " What are you doing to me, Grace? I have no control when it comes to you. You make me want things I can’t have. Make me want to risk things I can’t risk.”Her fingers dug deeper into my shoulders, words nothing but wisps of need against my face.“What do you want?”“I want you. I want to explore every inch of your body. Taste and lick and fuck.”I want to keep you. "
9 " Nothing . . . nothing has ever felt better than you, Grace. Nothing. Not once. Not ever. Everything is better than the last. Every look. Every touch. Every time I take you. You. Are. Everything. "
10 " I grabbed her hand and splayed it across the erratic drumming of my chest.“Do you feel that, Grace? It doesn’t fucking beat right, but still, it beats for you. "
11 " I love you, Grace. I fucking love you, and I love your kids, and it’s going to destroy me. I know it. I know it. It will, and I don’t care. The only thing that matters right now is loving you. If I get to feel this for even one day, it will be enough. "
12 " Ian . . . my sweet broken man. How am I supposed to live without you now? How . . . when you’ve changed everything? What I want and who I am? "
13 " I can feel you etched on my skin. Written on my heart. Marked on me forever. You are my gift. The hero I never expected. "
14 " With you, I don’t want to be him. Not anymore. If I could be someone else for you, I would.”“You’re the man I fell in love with, Ian. You. "
15 " All posh and suave with those tats peeking out? He’s like a present just begging to be unwrapped. Yes-fucking-please. "
16 " If I could be a better man, I’d be him for you. If I could live a better life, I’d live it for you. "
17 " One day, some girl is going to make a crack in that impenetrable stone, and you’re gonna put one on her finger. Have a small herd of kids. And you’re going to be happy, Ian. Fucking happy because it’s about time you had a little of the real kind. "
18 " The times I’ve fought hardest in my life are the times I’ve been most scared. Only because I was afraid of losing. And that’s what makes us fight all the harder. "
