1 " Loneliness is like a big, empty room inside you that echoes with the sounds of the life you're not living. "
― Leisa Rayven , Mister Romance (Masters of Love, #1)
2 " We all need fantasies now and then. Sometimes believing our lives can be different is the only thing that keeps us going. "
3 " You’re not my client. You never have been. And even if you were, I’d break every fucking rule I’ve ever held sacred just to be inside you right now. "
4 " You disrupted my entire world, Even Tate. I’m used to being the one in control. The one people fall in love with. I’m not supposed to fall in love. "
5 " Wait,” I say, gobsmacked. “You think I’m going to fall in love with you?”“No.” He takes a sip of wine and smiles. “I know it. "
6 " If you think you’re immune to my charms, you’re fooling yourself.”I pull my hand away and ignore how fiercely it tingles as I place it in my lap. “So, you don’t think any woman can resist you?”“I’m sure plenty of women could. But you? No. You’re so starved of romance in your life, you’re like an emotional skeleton. I intend to put some meat back on your bones. Make you believe in something other than a bleak apocalypse. "
7 " Everyone stares and smiles as he carries me down the street toward my apartment. “I feel like you should be wearing a white Navy uniform right now.”“I have one of those. If you play your cards right, I’ll bust it out someday.” He shoots me a look, but I see the corner of his mouth twitch as he begins to hum, Up Where We Belong. "
8 " Max?”“Yeah?”“Do you ever just take off your shirt and flex in front of a mirror? You know, to perv on your own hotness?”“No. Do you ever take off your shirt and caress your breasts, just for the hell of it?”I shrug. “Sometimes. When I get stressed, I cup my boobs and give them a reassuring squeeze.”“Good information. Next time you’re stressing I’ll have to try that. "
9 " While keeping his eyes locked onto me, he removes his tie and slowly begins popping open the black-enamel buttons on his dress shirt.The temperature in the apartment suddenly skyrockets.It takes effort to swallow as I watch him. “Uh…what’s happening.”“I’m taking off my shirt.”“Why?”“Because we’ve apparently reached the portion of the evening where we get semi-naked to torture the other person. "
10 " We all have issues we’re trying to overcome, Miss Tate. Everyone wants to feel special, whether we admit it or not. And loving without limits and allowing ourselves to be loved in return is what life’s all about. Or at least, what it should be about. Everything else just gets in the way. "
11 " Sex is just body parts creating friction to get a physical release. Fucking is more intense. It’s desperation. It’s not that you’d like to have sex, it’s that you need it. And you need it with that particular person, right the fuck now.” He paces, not looking at me. “And then there’s making love. That’s when you need to be a part of that person, and whether or not you come is irrelevant. You get so much pleasure from just being inside them, everything else is unimportant "
12 " You think I can even pretend to remain professional with you anymore? You’re so strong in so many ways, but right now, you look like a scared little girl. Why is it so difficult to cope with the thought that you like me? "
13 " He’s a walking, breathing erogenous zone who fascinates me and infuriates me in equal measures. "
14 " The one thing I’ve learned while doing this work is that as much as I enjoy playing out romantic fantasies, it’s still just pretend, and more and more I’m craving something real. "
15 " Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor. Fortune favors the brave. Big risks lead to big rewards.”“Do you want to inform me why you suddenly turned into a talking fortune cookie? "
16 " Because it’s easier for you to think being alone is a choice rather than admitting you might be unlovable "
17 " Los idiotas te hacen sentir cosas y luego desaparecen. Ellos te hacen pensar que eres el centro de su mundo y un día, deciden que ya no lo eres. "
18 " I know what you’re trying to do, and…no. You can’t make something that’s beautiful but complicated into something simple and ugly out of sheer force of will. "
19 " Sex is for the body. Romance is for the soul. "
20 " Tú eres la mejor mala decisión que he tomado. "
