21 " Wow. A vaginal orgasm and a psychological breakthrough in the same day. You must be tapped. "
― Tessa Bailey , It Happened One Summer (Bellinger Sisters, #1)
22 " I can be in a room full of people that I know and still not feel like I belong "
23 " Maybe she should try to put her phone down more often. Or at least take in the real moments when she could. "
24 " God must have been busy answering someone else’s prayers. "
25 " And when her face transformed with pure joy and she waved enthusiastically, Brendan knew he loved her. "
26 " but more important, she was learning to be kind to herself. Learning to love herself, just as she was. "
27 " He'd ridiculed her at the outset. Now he wanted to fight off anything that made her sad. "
28 " How soft she’d be beneath him, how high maintenance she’d probably be in the sack and how he’d deliver. Again and again, until she wrecked his back with her fingernails. "
29 " He wouldn’t stay so firmly rooted in his practices and routines that a good thing would come along and slip away. "
30 " All Piper could do was stare at the spot he'd just vacated. Goose bumps. He'd given her goose bumps. "
31 " She plucked out a Splenda and one of the non-dairy creamers, doctoring the coffee. When she glanced up at Brendan, he was following her actions closely, a line between his brows. Memorizing how she took her coffee? No way. "
32 " Oh, this wasn’t good. She didn’t even know which part of her was in command. Her head, her heart, her lady business. Or maybe they all were, three bitches hitting the switches of her control panel. "
33 " Vaginal orgasms were ruining her for regular life. "
34 " He gave in to just a touch of temptation, tucking a wind-tangled strand of hair behind her ear. Soft. “It means I’ll be around. "
35 " She’d come to the hospital. In his clothes. Did she realize tears were spilling down her cheeks and she was shaking, head to toe? No, she didn’t. Based on her flirty shoulder shrugs and attempts to wink, she thought she was playing it cool, and it made his chest burn. This girl. He’d be keeping her. There was no way around it. "
36 " Everyone’s low expectations of her were beginning to wear kind of thin, though. One look at her and this prick had become as dismissive of her abilities as her stepfather and her ex-boyfriend. What was it about her that courted such harsh judgment? "
37 " Women are protective. Nurturing. A boat is given the name of a woman in the hopes that she'll protect the crew. And hopefully put a good word in the other important woman in our lives, the ocean. "
38 " Can I rub it here, baby?" Brendan rasped the question, his bare chest heaving, a fine sheen of sweat on those work-honed muscles. "Just want to rub it where I made you come. "
39 " know and I love who you are.” Temper crackled in her beautiful eyes. “Fine, if I’m not there tomorrow morning, I guess you’ll know my decision. But I will be there.” She blinked several times against the moisture in her eyes. “Please . . . don’t doubt me, Brendan. Not you. Have faith in me. Okay? "
40 " B-Brendan.” Her chest ached almost too much to speak. “When I was falling in love with you, I was falling in love with Westport at the same time. That is my home. Our home. And I don’t want to be anywhere else. I knew it as soon as I got here tonight. Nothing was right. Nothing was right without you. "
