Rule Breaker (Mixed Messages, #1) QUOTES

1 " Gabe, you’re sick, and much as you’re a shithead sometimes, I’ve trained you to be a fairly acceptable shithead to me. If you died I’d have to go to all the effort of training someone else.”

“If I died maybe you should consider a change of career into the nursing profession. With your lovely bedside manner you’d be a shoo-in. "

2 " Shithead Boss Man, eh? You know, Dylan, I really lucked out in the assistant department. The other partners in the firm have ended up with someone awful, who soothes them, is at their beck and call and agrees with them all the time. I got one who is sarcastic, argumentative, scruffy, rarely where he should be, and calls me Shithead Boss Man rather than Sir.”

Jude laughs at him, before reaching out and swiping one of the prawns from my carton of sweet and sour. “He’d call you Sir if you spanked him. "

3 " He’s adorably high-handed where you’re concerned, isn’t he?”

My eyes slide closed. “With anyone.”

“No,” he says thoughtfully. “Only you. He really can’t be bothered with anyone else, unless they’re connected to you. You’re all he sees. "

4 " The truth is that I will always need you more than you need me. It’s also the truth that I’m not a good bet for someone as vital and young as you. I’m bad tempered, a perfectionist who is too serious, and too used to being on my own. You could go out tomorrow and find someone better for you, but the truth is that no one will ever need you like I do.” He pauses and then says firmly. “No one will ever love you like I do. "

5 " Listen to me very carefully, and think hard about what happens if you go over my head to do something for me that you think is right. What is my normal reaction?”

Gabe slumps slightly. “Not favourable? "

6 " He stares at me. “So you’re telling me that you obey all my orders, because honestly that would be news to me?”

“I always obey your orders,” I say indignantly. “I am quite possibly the best assistant in history.”

“That would certainly be true, if you were the only assistant in history. "

7 " He leans back in his seat. His legs are spread and his head tipped back, with his eyes challenging me. “Okay what’s next, boss?”

I shudder theatrically. “I see why you like it. Just the word makes me feel all powerful. "

8 " To: Gabe Foster From: Dylan Mitchell I have prepared the fourth pot of coffee for you to taste. I pray that this one meets your exacting taste buds, because I do actually have plans for the rest of my life. "

9 " I feel something snap and settle in me. It's the last piece of my heart, falling for him without any input from me at all. "

10 " Sometimes we think that a certain path in life is the way we have to go. We see other routes, but we avoid them because we’re so insistent they’re not for us, that we might get lost or hurt. Then sometimes fate sets in, and someone takes your hand or waves you over. You step off your chosen path, and find that although this one is new and scary, somehow your feet know the way to navigate it. You might even find that it leads you the way that you were always meant to go. "

11 " Yes, Cinderella won a real prize - a man who couldn’t see her true worth until she fitted in the shoe properly. "

12 " Gabe might be a complete bastard, but I sort of think of him as my bastard, and I don’t like other people criticising him. "

13 " All good sex comes with a side order of inappropriate laughter. "

14 " Fucking hell, Jude. You can see how cold my nipples are in this, and these black jeans are so tight that if I take them off there'll be an imprint of my dick on them.

Is it puritanical to not want to tell the general public that I've been circumcised? "

15 " I snort at the thought, and he looks at me with one supercilious eyebrow raised. I sigh inwardly because anyone else would find that gesture charming and sexy. Instead, it just makes me want to poke a pen in his eye. "

― Lily Morton , Rule Breaker (Mixed Messages, #1)

16 " I know now that you’re somehow everything I never knew I needed. You’re funny and clever and irreverent. You don’t let me get away with anything, and you stand up to me. You’re kind and generous and warm, and when I see you, something fills up in my chest, and it feels so good. But then you leave, and it’s lonely again, and I’m so fucking tired of being alone and too afraid to try. "

17 " Of course he’s fucking better than you. Because he wants a real relationship with me.” I’m conveniently ignoring the fact that I’ve only just met Richard, and would rather form a relationship with Charles Manson. "

18 " It hurts to know that fate has given me the perfect person for me to love, but has failed to make it reciprocal. "

19 " Tradition comes from something being so brilliant and such a good memory, that you try to recreate it every time that you can. "

20 " Seriously, she’s one donkey jacket short of a protest march most of the time. Now come and meet her. "
