Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3) QUOTES

1 " I'll ruin everything if you touch me. I'll ruin us. I'll ruin this. I'll ruin you, just like you said. I'll ruin you and I'll ruin your life. And I love you too much to ruin you. So I'm leaving. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

2 " Well it's not really a mystery. It was the day I met you, that's when. You've changed me, Rook. You make me weak, you make me stumble, you make me fall, and even though I know you'll pick me up if I ask you to, it's not enough. I want you to make me stronger, just like I made you. I want it all or I want nothing. And since I can't have it all, I'll take nothing. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

3 " I felt like I was leaving a piece of my soul behind the moment I left. And every second that passes, I miss you like that, times a million. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

4 " Fiona, it’s me, Shrek. I rescued you from your tower to prove I’ll fight for us. I’ll fight for us every single time. You’ll never even have to wonder if I’ll be there, because I’ll show the fuck up before that thought can even cross your mind. I want you, Ronin, and I’ll risk everything for you. I will never walk out on you. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

5 " How did I get here? We’re Three’s Company. Spencer is airhead Chrissy, Ford is intellectual Janet, and I’m pretending to be gay so I don’t notice that you two are roommate eye-candy. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

6 " Ronin Flynn, you are my forever guy. I’d just like to say that right now. You are my forever guy. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

7 " If you touch me I’ll touch you back. I’ll cup your face and kiss your mouth. I’ll hold you close and make you choose me.” I stop and swallow hard and then lean into her space and whisper, “I’ll ruin everything if you touch me. I’ll ruin us. I’ll ruin this. I’ll ruin you, just like you said. I’ll ruin you and I’ll ruin your life. And I love you too much to ruin you. So I’m leaving. "

8 " Like this, Rook.” Ford’s soft words vibrate into me. “I like you. I’d like to show you how much, actually. I’m being a gentleman to make life easier for you, but believe me, it’s not really in my nature to be so accommodating. I typically just take what I want. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

9 " You’re one crazy chick if you think you’re gonna get off that easy.” “What do you mean?” “‘Make me come’—pfft. Gidget, I can make you come anytime I want. Tonight you’re not gonna just come, babe. I’m gonna blow your fucking mind. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

10 " Rook, I’m not a risk, I’m a sure thing. You’re the only girl I want to build a future with. Ever. You’re the one, Rook. The love that only comes around once in a lifetime and I refuse to settle for anything else. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

11 " I. Fucking. Want. You,” I say, my voice a deep rumble in my throat. “If I’d found you first instead of Ronin, you’d be mine right now. And I’d never let you go. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

12 " I hope you still have it,” she says. “Have what, babe?” “My heart. Because it’s the only one I got and I don’t want to lose it. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

13 " I'd never walk out. I'd fight for you every single time. You'd never even have to wonder if be there because I'd show the fuck up before that thought could ever cross your mind. I want you, I'd risk everything for you. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

14 " Dear Rook (AKA Gidget),   I’ve never had the urge to write a love letter but I’m lying in bed, looking over at your side, wondering if I can somehow change your mind about this whole deal and talk you into coming the fuck home. (I’m a selfish asshole, I know.) But I get that you need this so I’ll just say this instead: I felt like I was leaving a piece of my soul behind the moment I left. And every second that passes, I miss you like that, times a million.   Love, Ronin (AKA Larue) "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

15 " But I’m desperate for more from her. I’m desperate for something more permanent. And I do understand that it’s totally selfish of me to expect her to give up her dream to make me happy, so that’s something I’d never ask her to do. But it eats away at me. Her lack of permanence. It’s like she’s fleeting, like she’s a moment. Something that comes and goes. I want marriage, I want kids, I want everything I never had as a child, and I want it desperately. But I want her more. I will wait, that was not a lie. I’ll wait forever if I have to. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

16 " So I do what I have to do. I make it worse. So she’s left with no more doubts about what kind of man I am. So she will release her hold on me. So she will stop looking at me like she cares. So I can let go and move on. I turn away. I walk out. And I never look back. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

17 " Miss Corvus, I am so far beyond in love with you, I can barely function. I want to marry you. Like yesterday. But I know that's not gonna happen just yet, so I just want you to know, I can wait. I will wait. "

― J.A. Huss , Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3)

18 " Believe me, Rook,” he says with a serious expression. “If I was coming on to you, you’d have no trouble recognizing it.” He turns and continues walking. "
