21 " I want to keep her safe, shelter her from all this ugliness.
Just keep her. Forever. She’s mine. Mine to protect. "

― Kristen Callihan , The Game Plan (Game On, #3)

22 " Some guys are alpha dogs, snarling and snapping. Dex is more like a silverback gorilla, quietly going about his business until something pisses him off and he gives a warning. "

23 " Winning is a subjective thing, "

25 " be dragons,’” I read out loud. “Are you the dragon?” The corner of his mouth quirks. His hands rest on my hips, holding on with just enough tension to tell me he isn’t quite comfortable with the inspection but is letting me look anyway. “Map makers used to put the saying along the borders, for places where they hadn’t yet charted. It’s in reference to the unknown, to be mindful of the unexplored. "

26 " I don’t need you to protect me, Ethan. I need you to want me. "

27 " Gray texted me a joke the other day. Want to hear it?”
“Knowing Gray’s terrible jokes, probably not. But okay.”
He rubs the back of his neck. “What do you call a cow with no legs?”
I caress his waist where muscles ripple. “What?”
“Ground beef. "

28 " Excellent,” says Gray, rubbing his hands together, a gleam in his eye. “The last
person to sing gets to buy the drinks.”
Ivy grins wide. “You’re on, Cupcake. I’m going to sing the house down.”
We all pause, our gazes darting back and forth as a certain sense of terror falls
over the table.
Ivy sees us and slaps her palm onto the table. “Oh, for fuck’s sake. I know what
you twats are thinking! If I suck at dancing, I’ll suck at singing? Well, I don’t. I’m
awesome.”
Awkward silence ensues, and she snorts.
“What? You think I don’t know I suck at dancing? I just don’t give a shit.” She
glares at Gray, though there really isn’t any anger in the look. “So you can stop
dancing like an ass now.”
A strangled sound leaves him. “You knew?”
“Of course.” She tosses a lock of her hair over her shoulder. “You’re too
coordinated on the field, and you kind of forget to suck when you do those victory
dances.”
He gapes at her for a long second, then gives a bark of laughter. “I fucking love
you, Special Sauce.” With that, he hauls Ivy into his lap and kisses her.
Fi, however, finally snaps out of the trance she’s been in since Ivy confessed.
“You sneaky shithead,” she shouts over the music. “All these years I’ve been
covering for your craptacular dancing, and you knew!” She shakes a fist. “I swear to
God, Ivy Weed…”
“Oh, please,” Ivy counters. “You pretend you suck at baking so you don’t have to
cook for family holidays.”
Fi sniffs, looking guilty as hell. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Ivy leans in, her eyes narrowed. “Midnight cookie baking ring a bell, Tink?”
Fi’s cheeks flush, and she studies her nails with undue interest while muttering
something about traitor sisters under her breath. “Those are for PMS cravings and
nothing more. I was baking under duress. "

29 " Punching out an argument is an accepted form of conflict resolution in the man code. It’s part of our bylaws. "

30 " I’ve been waiting two years for you to see me. "

31 " So
what about you? What are you doing tonight?”
“Same thing. Going out with my QB.”
“Finn Mannus?” I give a little sigh. “He’s dreamy.”
Okay, I’m still a little irked by Dex’s archaic “man code” thing with Gray, and
payback is a bitch.
Predictably, Dex makes a noise of disdain. “Thought you didn’t follow football.”
“There’s a difference between following the sport and following a hot player,” I
tease.
“Never thought I’d be the jealous type,” he drawls. “But I guess I am because I
have the sudden urge to punch the little shit in the face right about now. "

32 " Jesus, there’s something downright dirty about beards. Fucking naughty. All I can think about now is sex. "

― Kristen Callihan , The Game Plan (Game On, #3)

33 " And my ovaries damn near burst into song when Dex pulled out one of those baby swaddlers and tucked my nephew into it to carry him against his massive chest. "

34 " I will always want you. Because that’s how it is when you find your forever. "

35 " I’ve wanted you from the moment I saw you, Cherry. You
say what you mean and don’t filter it… "

36 " She totally knows we’re going to have sex,” I tell him, laughing but trying to be
outraged.
His arms circle me, bands of steel that lean me onto his hard chest. “Of course
she does.” He kisses my temple. “Considering that she groped my ass right before
we got on the elevator, I’d say she approves of your choice.”
“What? That little sneak. "

37 " I glance back at Drew, who is still
eyeing his phone and being awfully quiet. “Seriously, Baylor, I’m about to
confiscate that thing.”
He raises a brow at me, and gives me his old, innocent grin—which I am not
falling for. “You really are a mom, aren’t you?”
“As I recall, you played the role of Mom. I was Dad.”
“Doesn’t that mean we’re on a date now? And all I get is this lousy dinner?”
Drew leans his arms on the table. “Where are my flowers?”
“I’ll make it up to you with sweet talk later. Now answer the question, Battle.
What the hell is up with the phone?”
As if I’ve activated it, the damn thing lights up, and Drew glances down. He
fights to hide his smile. “What can I say? I’m totally pussy whipped by my wife to
be. That’s right, I’m replacing you with Anna. "

38 " I lost points for picking The Hulk. They can look at me as though I’m crazy all they want; when Bruce Banner loses control and fucking roars? My nipples go tight. "

― Kristen Callihan , The Game Plan (Game On, #3)

39 " His smile falls. “You also forgot ‘Don’t play the game unless you’re one-hundred-percent commented.’ Which really just means, if you don’t love it, get out. "

― Kristen Callihan , The Game Plan (Game On, #3)

40 " Doesn’t Momoa have a beard?” I wave my hand. “Who has time to look at his beard when his muscles are on display? "
