21 " I see reckless. I see untrustworthy. I see someone that I’m terrified to take a risk on because I don’t know if he’ll be there to grab my hand if I jump off that cliff. "
― Ella Frank , Try (Temptation, #1)
22 " I feel great because you are even better than I first fucking thought. And I love being right. "
23 " Can you maybe put some clothes on?""No. Next question?""It would help if you put something on."[...]"Well, come on then. Let's get the talking over and done with, so we can move on to the fun part. You know, the part where my cock gets to meet yours. "
24 " You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequence of your choice. – Anonymous "
25 " I’m going to enjoy making you pay for that particular cocktease. "
26 " Careful, Tate, I'm already turned on, you know how hot I get when you're mean to me. "
27 " I am a lawyer, and I’m always looking for a loophole. "
28 " You forget my name?” “No.” “Then, don’t call me sir. It turns me on, "
29 " You alive?” Tate didn’t know what else to say. He had no idea what guys said to one another after this sort of shit. “I think so. Holy shit, Tate.” Tate didn’t know why, but the awe in those three words made him proud. “Yeah?” “Hell yeah.” After some movement on his end, Logan asked, “You?” “Yeah.” That was as much as Tate could admit, and then he laughed. “Definitely, yes.” “And? Feel better?” Tate could hear the smug tone, but he decided to finally give the guy a break. “I feel fucking fantastic. "
30 " Straight, huh? You know, funny thing is, often the straightest of trees have crooked roots. "
31 " Christ, it’s official. I have a hard-on for a straight guy. That’s just terrific. "
32 " Logan’s brow rose. “I’ll have you know that these are Armani track pants. "
33 " Logan knew that tonight was about two things—want and possession. "
34 " Why not, if it feels good and someone offers? However, fucking wise? As of a few days ago, I just want one thing, and since he hasn’t punched me in the face yet, I’m thinking I may have a shot at it. "
35 " Over his shoulder, he called out, "Give an inch...""And I'll want six of seven more," Logan called back."Jesus," Tate laughed. "
36 " Batter up! I want to play with some balls. "
37 " Except for the fact that I’m straight,” Tate finally announced. Logan toyed with his glass for a moment before he conceded. “Yes, well, I don’t let little things like that stand in my way. "
38 " I’ve never wanted something more. But with you, I can’t seem to stop myself. I want to look at you and know that you’re mine, and that terrifies me.” Tate’s fingers wrapped around his own as he brought their arms in close to his sides, and then Tate asked again, “Why?” Logan found Tate’s eyes and finally acknowledged, “Because I think I could love someone like you. "
39 " Oh God, Tate."Tate looked up to where Logan was watching him like a hawk. "What? I didn't do anything.""You're looking at me like you're about to eat your favorite fucking meal.""Who knows? Maybe I am. "
40 " Still nothing. No calls of outrage from the family and not one call or text from that asshole telling me how sorry he is. Well, fuck him, Tate thought, dropping the phone back to where it had been, as he lifted the bottle of Cuervo to his lips. Actually, don't fuck him. He'd like it too much. "
