21 " It's not the sex. I want him. The things he doesn't show anyone else. "
― Kit Rocha , Beyond Jealousy (Beyond, #4)
22 " That was the one lesson they'd all learned, even Ace--you showed the world your strengths because they earned you respect, and your flaws because they earned you trust. But your weaknesses you held tight in your heart. "
23 " Yeah. It's easy to love me in the very beginning. Prolonged exposure usually fixes that. "
24 " Careful, Rae. So careful. Because Cruz will ask. He'll demand every fucking detail, and I'll tell him. "
25 " Stop." He shuddered, his eyes dark. "I can still feel you on my tongue. It's taking everything in me not to slide to my knees and see where else I can lick you. Damn near everywhere, in this dress. It's nothing but leather straps and sass. "
26 " Ace couldn't stand seeing hookers mistreated, because paying for someone's body didn't give you the right to leave marks on their heart and soul. "
27 " Almost nobody knows what they really want. Figure it out before they do, and you own them. "
28 " Sex is messy, not dirty. "
29 " I want you to need me like I need you. "
30 " Being worthy of loyalty is always a good start. "
31 " To keep me warm." Liquor didn't work that way. It opened the capillaries, flushed the skin with what seemed like a rush of warmth, but in the end it only hastened the loss of body heat. "
32 " Unlike some people, I don't charge armed men. I shoot them in the face, like God intended. "
33 " What was the benefit of climbing to the top of the damn pile only to pretend you'd always been there? No one who cared would ever believe you belonged, and no one who mattered would care. "
34 " Didn't think you'd mind where I stuck my dick, as long as I kept it out of your angel. "
35 " The world was on fire, and so was she. "
36 " Love is blind, right? I mean, I think you're swell, but it wouldn't matter if you were the biggest fucking asshole left on planet Earth. "
37 " She'd take it if he wanted her to. She'd try anything, because she was perfect. She was fucking perfect. "
38 " He could play her body a hundred ways, bring her up so high the fall would be endless. He knew how to catch her when it was all about physical pleasure. "
39 " He'd wanted, and wanting had changed everything. Knowing what he was losing changed it again. "
40 " Every day." Her throat worked as she swallowed. "Every breath. "
