1 " You’re the angel that my demons beg to make fall. The pureness and light that my darkness wants to extinguish. "
― Harper Sloan , Locke (Corps Security, #5)
2 " We all have that thing, you know? That one thing that is calming for us. The one thing that, even when your world feels hollow, can make you feel whole. So, as silly as it is, mine is gold glitter. It’s my happy. "
3 " Chin up, buttercup. "
4 " We all have our battles. We get past them the best we can by putting one foot in front of the other. Looking back doesn’t do anything but make it hurt a little more. "
5 " That’s not the pain meds, you window licker, "
6 " I’m going to be worthy of you, Emmy,” I vow softly, my cheek pressed against hers and my lips whispering my promise in her ear. “I promise you, angel. I’m going to be the man you deserve. I—God—I fucking love you. "
7 " You fucking love me, woman,” I declare before crashing my mouth to hers and giving her a bruising kiss. "
8 " Hope. Trust in the unknown. And love. It’s been right in front of me for so long, but I’ve been too blind to see it. "
9 " I’ll be spanking that ass until it’s bright pink and you’re begging for me to make you come. Then I’m going to eat you until you’re screaming for me to let you come. When you think you can’t take a second more of just the mere thought of the pleasure that I’m going to give you, only then will I think about giving that to you, but it will most definitely be after I spank the sass out of you. "
10 " If you don’t take this opportunity, this second chance, you’ll regret it forever. Just put one foot in front of the other. Baby steps… We all have to learn to walk somewhere, right? "
11 " We all have baggage, Maddox. I wish that you could understand that I’m not asking for perfection. What you fail to realize is that I have two arms just begging for you to let me help you carry that baggage. "
12 " The thought of her walking down the aisle towards me, her body covered in white lace, her eyes full of love, and that heart-stopping smile all for me does something to me. "
13 " I’ll stand by her side until I’m no longer wanted—and then, if that day ever comes, I’ll throw her over my shoulder and carry her the rest of the way. "
14 " It’s one fucking amazing high to feel the love of another. To have her wrap that love around me, refusing to let go, and never waver. Indescribable. "
15 " We all have our battles. We get past them the best we can by putting one foot in front of the other. Looking back doesn't do anything but make it hurt a little more. "
16 " What am I supposed to wear?” I ask in a tone that oozes sarcasm.He doesn’t speak. Instead, he moves around my body and grabs a bag off the floor behind me. Then he holds it out to me. I keep looking into his eyes, watching the deep, dark brown remain expression and emotionless.“Right. When you’re ready to use your big-boy words, maybe we can continue this playdate. "
17 " My team, which is made up of seven of the baddest motherfuckers from all over the United States, goes in hot to the deepest pits of hell. "
18 " I don’t want to give them the power over my future, Maddox, so I’m choosing to live for the blessings I have and heal from this. "
19 " I used everything I had to make sure we would have our chance. I told you I would never stop fighting for you, and even though I was physically fighting for myself, I was in that battle to win not just my life…but yours too. "
