1 " He must have a magical dick because there’s no way I’d keep dating someone who cheated on me every week. "
― Skyla Madi , Consumed (Consumed, #1)
2 " Since when does reading suck? Who says that? If I ran the world, people who didn’t read would be the first to go. Boom. Put them out of their misery. "
3 " You mistake my intent on our non-existent boyfriend/girlfriend relationship." He steps closer. "We might not be using the titles, but I still claim you as mine. "
4 " You do realize that means you’re officially off the market.” I say, poking him in the hard stomach. The warm, wide palms of his hands cup my face and my breath hitches.“Baby, I’ve been off the market since the moments these cheeks turned the sexiest shade of pink.”Heat flares under my skin and I avert my gaze. “And when was that?”“When I caught you eye-fucking me.”I shove him and he lets go of my face. “I did not.”He laughs loudly and squeezes me against him. “You did. Admit it. "
5 " What happened to your ‘I don’t do girlfriends’ thing.”His lips twitch. “You happened. "
6 " I’ll be counting down the days.”“Wow, way to make me feel crazy.” He says, leaning in and kissing my neck.“How?”“Because I’ll be counting down the seconds. "
7 " He seems like a good guy. I mean, sometimes he looks at you like he wants to consume you, but you are beautiful so I’m not going to hold that against him. "
8 " You don’t see yourself like I do. You don’t see the way your cheeks turn pink when I say or do inappropriate things. You can’t hear the sweet, innocent tone in your voice when you say things... but I do. "
9 " Olivia knows I love her. She knows I’d risk my entire future for her, but she doesn’t know about my plans to make her my wife.Olivia Marc.It has a nice ring to it? Doesn’t it? "
10 " I want to owe you things. I want to owe you explanations... I want us to be officially together—titles and all, if you really want. "
11 " His hands find my hips and his breathing slows. What are we doing? What is this exactly? He lowers his head and opens his eyes. They search mine and I know he's asking himself the same questions. "
12 " I drag my gaze back to Seth. He's covered in blood and sweat. He points at me and then at his eyes and then at his chest. He wants me to watch him... I shake my head. I can't. It's too much. He does the gestures again. And again. "
13 " You are beautiful.” He whispers in my ear, sending a shiver down my spine. I can’t help the smile that spreads across my lips. “You’re being silly.” I titter, placing my hands on his as they massage my stomach and my hips. “You’ve seen plenty of naked women...”“Not like you.” He lowers his mouth to my neck and kisses my warm flesh. “Never like you. "
14 " Let me tuck you in before I go.”“You want to tuck me in?” I ask incredulously.“Of course. I take care of what’s mine.”“And I am yours. "
15 " I’ve never felt anything so strong and it’s love—actual love. Heart wrenching, stomach churning, toe curling love.I’ve been completely consumed by him and I didn’t even know it. "
16 " I have no reasons to be unhappy today. Normally, when I pick my mother up from the police station I go to the gym as soon as it opens and smash the bag for a while. This morning, however, I woke up to your pretty face and I remembered that you are my girlfriend. "
17 " I’d fly to the moon and back to comfort you when you need it. "
18 " Vague. Since when are you vague with me?”I exhale and recap the whole situation. Chase scoffs and laughs appropriately. By the time I’m finished, I’ve successfully converted him to team Seth. "
19 " Well, there was a lack of naked men throwing themselves at me in your absence unfortunately so I’ve got nothing to help boost your confidence—not that you need anyone to boost that already insanely high ego of yours. "
20 " I want—no—I need him in my life. In the short time of knowing him, he has flipped my world around, more than once. He can make me angry, sad and confused all in the same minute, but he can also makes me the happiest I’ve ever been. Being around Seth is exciting and dangerous and I like it... I like him. "
