41 " Her laughter vibrated along my neck and beneath my skin. I'd never heard her make such a goofy, indelicate sound. Another one of her walls I'd penetrated. Victory surged warm and sharp in my chest, and for a brief pulse I wanted to yell out the window that she was letting me in. "
― Christina Lauren , Beautiful Stranger (Beautiful Bastard, #2)
42 " The problem was that I wanted to talk about this and she didn’t. The problem was also that I’d somehow misplaced my balls and my spine. "
43 " I'm nice because I'm genuinely fond of you. "
44 " I like that about you. I like your internal conflict, your sweetness. "
45 " I love you, too. But I'm terrified. "
46 " You didn’t even notice my shoes.” “Like hell I didn’t. God save the Queen,” he said dryly, winking at me. “I notice every single thing about you, Sara. "
47 " I heard the click of a shutter followed by Max's deep voice. "The way you seem nervous makes me think you don't know that I'm in love with you. "
48 " I leaned in and kissed him. It was a mess: hands in hair and practically climbing into his lap right there in that stupid bar but I didn't care. I didn't care. His hands moved to my face, and his eyes--when I peeked--were open and pleading and something was there. Something I couldn't quite put my finger on. "Sweet Sara," he murmured around my wild kisses. "
49 " And I already have a strong urge to devour you. "
50 " Because it would change me to worry about it. It would keep me indoors, or make me paranoid, or stop me from fucking you on the roof. Consider what a tragedy that would be. "
51 " You mean did I fuck you senseless and admit that you basically own me? Yes. "
52 " I’m not interested in being anyone’s plaything right now.” “I believe I’m asking to be yours. "
53 " I was a giant lying liar. "
54 " Okay, when you smile at me like that, I want to climb you. And God knows it’s been forever since I’ve been properly manhandled. "
55 " Some pussy just tastes like pussy. Yours tastes like good pussy. "
56 " Easy, Petal. "
57 " But why would I ever want to be dishonest with you? "
58 " You two are a mess. Tomorrow night we’re doing Buck Up Sara Time the gay way. "
59 " I tell you I love you, and I don’t even get a ‘thanks’ or ‘how lovely "
60 " Glancing down at my phone, I wished for the thousandth time that I had one single picture of her eyes when we were making love. Fuck. Having sex. When we were having sex. "
