82 " I am a bad, bad boy. Think Kate will punish me if I tell her how bad I am? "
83 " That’s good, Kate. Fine. Love Billy. Marry Billy. Just please…God…please just fuck me. "
84 " For a second, I’m stunned. She wanted this. Just as badly as I did. And I wasted all that time eating chicken Marsala—when I could have been eating her. God. Damn. "
85 " I gaze at her eyes. The way she’s looking at me…it’s just like she did after our shower yesterday. Like she’s giving me something – a gift. That’s just for me. Only for me. And it’s her. Because she trusts me, has faith in me, believes in me. And you know what?I don’t want Kate to ever look at me any other way. "
86 " And if I strike out? At least I’ll go down swinging. If I crash and burn and she grinds my ashes into the dirty with her heel? So be it. But I have to try. Because…Well, because she’s worth it. "
87 " Has the old man lost his freaking mind? Would I ask him to share something he’s worked his assoff for? Would he let someone else drive his 1962 cherry Mustang convertible? Would he open hisbedroom door and let some other guy screw his wife?Okay, that was too far. I take it back—considering his wife is my mother. Forget I ever referredto my mother and screwing in the same sentence. That’s just…wrong. On so many levels.But for the love of God, tell me you see my point. "
88 " As the bills fall into the jar, Alexandra takes her hand. “Come on Mackenzie, let’s go to the American Girl store and spend some of Uncle Drew’s money.”“Okay! "
89 " In a nutshell: I control my dick. My dick does not control me. At least, that’s what I’ve been telling myself for the last hour and a half. "
90 " Where's a stray bullet from a random drive-by shooting when you need one? "
91 " And no girl wants to be called by the wrong name when she’s on her knees giving you head in the men’s room. So, just to be safe, I went with baby. "
92 " I get it now. Why Noah put that art room together for Allie. It wasn’t because he was a vagina; it was because he didn’t have a choice. She was it for him. No matter what he did, there was never gonna be anyone but her. So all he could do was set up the room and hope to God that one day she’d show up to use it. And that pretty much sums up exactly how I feel about you. So I did this—” I gesture around the room “—because I want you in my life, Kate. Permanently. "
93 " This thing with you…it’s different. It’s…more. And I’m not too proud to admit that if it doesn’t work out, I’m not going to be able to just pick myself up and move on. You can…You could break me, Drew. "
94 " I’m not lying to you now, Kate. Butit’s okay. Do what you need to do. Curse me out, slap me around—get it all out of your system. I cantake it. Because the more you push me away, the harder I’m going to fight to prove to you that this isreal. That I’m not going anywhere and that what I feel for you isn’t going to change. And then someday—maybe not any time soon, but one day—I’m going to tell you that you, Kate Brooks, are the love ofmy life, and you won’t have any doubt that it’s true. "
95 " I've never known my mother to be wrong. About anything. So at this moment, her opinion is my most valuable resource. "
96 " THE RIDE TO MY APARTMENT is an exercise in stunt driving. Trying desperately to keep my mouth onKate and not get us killed. She sits on my lap straddling my waist, kissing my neck, tonguing my ear—driving me out of my frigging mind. I’ve got one hand on the steering wheel and the other wedgedbetween us, gliding over her stomach, her neck, and those perfect breasts that tease me through herhalf-open shirt.Do not try this at home, kids. "
97 " She took my razor and kicked me out. Unlike women, guys don’t need privacy. There is no bodily function a man won’t perform in front of an audience.We have no shame. "
98 " She's like a Rubik's Cube. So frustrating at times that you want to toss it out the goddamn window. But you don't. You can't. You're compelled to keep playing with it until you figure it out. "
99 " Whoever invented thefront-clasp bra? God bless you. "
100 " Like I said, I am typically an observant man. Sherlock Holmes and I, we could hang out. "
