41 " There are certain things I want to forget about my life. The first is what it felt like to walk with two normal legs. The second is the feeling of adrenaline pumping through my veins as I raced in a Prix. And the third is the way Chloe kissed me like she needed to resuscitate the damaged part of my heart I thought was long gone. "

42 " How about the story about how he eats pussy like a seven-course meal? Or that his favorite position happens to be cowgirl because the view from below is worth the lack of dominance. "
43 " You’re fake dating someone who’s rumored to tongue-fuck pussy like he doesn’t need oxygen to breathe. "
44 " Are you willing to learn?” “To cook?” I ogle him while licking my bottom lip. The idea of Santiago teaching me something domestic has me practically panting. His eyes darken as they drop to my tongue. “Can you stop doing that? It’s distracting.” He drags his thumb across my bottom lip, drying it. "
45 " I frown. “You want me to be all self-love, now?” “Honestly, yes. I think we owe it to ourselves to unapologetically love who we are no matter what. Because if you don’t love yourself, then why do you expect anyone else to? "
46 " Life is about creating the memories that matter while forgetting the ones that don't "
47 " Next time you think I looked at you with disgust, remember that kiss. I’m not a unicorn because I’d much rather be a dragon in the story. They’re more badass anyway. "
48 " I wish that Chloe Carter falls in love with someone worthy of her eighties-loving heart. That she finds that soul-crushing, heart-mending, passion-fueled love. A love that leaves her desperate for more because nothing that amazing should ever be done in moderation. The same love I found with her. "
49 " Defeat sells headlines while success sells sponsorships. "
50 " Some kisses stoke a passion. Some kisses heal the soul. Kissing Chloe is a combination of two—the sweetest medicine that leads to a lifelong addiction. "
51 " What’s your dream car?” Maya props her elbows on the table. “Umm. A 1967 Chevy Impala. If you throw in Dean Winchester too, I wouldn’t be opposed. "
52 " She describes her loneliness as a weakness, but I only see it as a strength. While people like me shrivel away in the shadows, people like her create their own light. She’s like the moon who shines bright despite the never-ending darkness. And she makes me want to wish that daylight never comes again. "
53 " Santiago gets into the driver’s seat and slides on a pair of Ray Bans. My eighties-obsessed heart sings at the sight. He’s a mix-up of every John Hughes’ character I love watching. "
54 " Santiago is embroidering himself into my skin like the designs I love so much, and I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to do about it. "
55 " Magic is everywhere and in everything. People only have to believe in it for it to work. If you notice it, then embrace it because that's what makes us dreamers. "
56 " I’ve been labeled a stage ten cuddler.” My interest is doused by a surge of jealousy that catches me by surprise. “By who?” I attempt with everything in me to keep my voice flat. "
57 " My voice drops as I prop my ass against the hood and spread my legs. I grab onto her hips and turn her toward me, securing her in front of me. "
58 " What do you win if I lose to my brother-in-law?” “Hmm. If I win, I get to give you a blowjob.” The breath I take turns into a fit of coughs. “What?” Maybe it’s worth losing for that prize alone. But Noah would gloat for days, and I’m not sure any blowjob is worth that special kind of torment. “Did you hear me okay or are you woozy from the blood relocating itself from your brain to your dick?” What is it about this girl that has me constantly breaking out deep belly laughs? She squeezes my hand. “So, is that a yes?” “Sure, Chloe.” “And what do you want? If you win that is?” I want to wipe that smug grin off her face. “When I win, I get to go down on you whenever I want.” “Whenever?” She wheezes. “Whenever I want. Whichever way I want. What do you say? Let’s make a bet.” “Deal.” She shakes our already clasped hands up and down. "
59 " She’s always been beautiful. But her by my side while I battle my demons? It’s a look that can’t compare. “Focus on the damn road!” “I’m confused. Did you expect me to go slow?” I push against the accelerator, surging past Noah’s car and cutting him off. I press my foot on the brake and smoke billows from the tires. “Oh, God. I’m sorry I don’t pray to you enough, but now is the best time. Please don’t let me die.” She presses her palms together. I chuckle, switching gears to match the curves and straights of the track. “You’ll only die when my tongue is fucking you into oblivion. I promise. "
