42 " His illicit allure would wear thin eventually, and the hero always got the girl. "
43 " It's not fair. Other women have had you both for sex. Why can't I have you to love? "
44 " Everyone loved a broken-hearted bad boy. "
45 " Because whatever was going on between him and Rachel and Cruz hurt like hell, but the pain was a pinprick compared to the satisfaction when Cruz growled his name or Rachel whimpered it.

46 " Some had been smart and some had been funny, and others still had given him big eyes while being both. And he loved women.

55 " You think I know what to do with a woman's heart? "
56 " purpose--pulling truth from darkness and giving it form. "
57 " Strong liquor and hard fucking cured most ills. Unconsciousness would cure the rest--for a while, anyway. It would have to do. For now. "
58 " He'd disappeared while standing there, because the only way to get an invite to that secret world was to already belong there. He hadn't.
