1 " The woman I would have to let go of if I wanted to keep my career was the same woman I didn’t want to live without. "

2 " Nic?” he asked, his voice low and near my ear. My stomach did a flip-flop.“Yeah?” I whispered.“You’re going to have to learn to breathe when you’re near me. We’ll be doing this a lot.”My head whipped toward him, and he reared back slightly to put a little distance between our faces.“You’re unbelievable,” I said.“So I’ve been told. "
3 " You make me desperate for you, Nicole,” he growled, cradling the back of my head and crashing my lips to his. “You’re fucking mine. "
4 " I’ll do whatever it takes if it makes you cave to this,” he said, lowering his voice.“You’re not afraid of the consequences anymore?” I asked.“I am.” He paused, his eyes searching mine. “I think you might be worth it, though. "
5 " For anybody who thinks love only exists in fairy tales— Love is limitless. Believe. "
6 " Yet for some reason I’m around this guy for two seconds and I become a fifteen-year-old girl at a One Direction concert. "
7 " I want you,” he said. I gasped as his fingers dug into my flesh. “I want you and I can’t have you if I keep working for you.”“Says who?” I asked, surprised my voice was loud enough for him to hear me.“I’ve worked so fucking hard and this case is going to blow it all to shit,” he said, inching his face closer to mine. I stopped breathing. “All because I need this more than I’ve needed anything else in my fucking life. "
8 " Are you mine and no one else’s?”He smiled, caressing my face with his thumb as he brought his lips down to mine. “Always yours. I was never anybody else’s. "
9 " Give a little time to me or burn this out, We’ll play hide and seek to turn this around, All I want is the taste that your lips allow . . .” ~Ed Sheeran "
10 " But if that were the case, why did I feel like he was ripping out my heart? "
11 " He was not a big deal. He looked short. I was sure his hair made Oliver jealous, though, so I snapped a picture of him and sent it, "
12 " Jon. Snow. Is. A. Huge. Deal. "
13 " I rarely did that, but I figured because of the time it had to be UPS "
14 " Do you do this much for all of your clients?” I asked…“I think you know I don’t,” he whispered, still holding my face. “And I think you know this has passed the client boundary by now. "
15 " Talon gasped. “I am thirty-two, thank you very much, and Harry is hot. "
16 " Breathe. Suck in your stomach. Smile. No. Don’t smile. "
17 " Would it bother you if somebody asked me out on a date?” His laughter stopped instantly. “Why? Who asked you out? That asshole realtor?” That made me laugh. “No. You know there are more men in the world, right?” “Who asked you out? "
18 " Thank God we’re not in Victoria’s Secret,” I muttered, looking over again. "
19 " 34 C, baby,” he said loudly. I felt my face turn a shade of red as a woman walked by us. She shot me an amused look. "
20 " Excuse him, he doesn’t Target much,” I said with a smile. The woman laughed and walked away. "
