1 " There's four things a real man has to be able to do for a woman.""Exactly how many man-lists do you have?"He let my wrist go and ticked the items off on his fingers. "Fix her car. Grill her a steak. Kick the ass of any guy who makes her cry. And fuck her so hard she wakes up half-crippled.""Oh my God. "

2 " I’m gonna fall in love with you,” Kelly said. His words hung in the darkness, bright as candle flames. "
3 " You ever been fucked by a man’s mouth?” The way he said it, I knew he wasn’t talking about any kind of oral I’d experienced. I’d been teased and spoiled and serviced by guys’ mouths, but no, I hadn’t been fucked… "
4 " What we got,' Kelly said, 'we're stuck with it, even if our stubborn, rational brains might decide we're through. It'll always be there, whether we like it or not. "
5 " I want to fill in the gaps, fight all the battles you can’t, because of whatever—your size or your gender. Maybe that’s sexist, but it’s what I want. I just want to feel needed by somebody who deserves whatever I got to offer. "
6 " I spend forty to fifty hours a week at everybody’s beck and call. When I’m off, I want what I want, the way I want it. "
7 " He smiled back. “I’m not awake enough to be a bossy dick yet. "
8 " His lips were parted, lids heavy. This moment might not be about him and me, about two bodies unified in pleasure or anything profound, but goddamn he looked good. Looked exactly as he felt— strong and big and one hundred percent in control. And I felt exactly as he surely saw me, a hungry vessel, eager to please, at the mercy of his cock. "
9 " Get your eyes off my dick and get your butt in the shower... "
10 " I watched him go, a tower of lean muscle and scar tissue camouflaging more secrets than I’d realized. "
11 " You know your chances with me always get worse, the more you talk.” And Kelly finally shut up. For a block, anyway... "
12 " In the simplest language, spoken without a single word between out two bodies. "
13 " If I fall in love with you, it’ll be because I know you inside and out, and because you’re somebody I want to be a better person for—instead of in spite of. "
14 " My storms didn’t always stay outdoors. Sometimes they stole inside my very body, fisted my car key and dragged it down some asshole’s shiny red hood. "
15 " He was the best lover I’d ever had. So far ahead of the competition, I couldn’t even recall their names or faces. "
16 " These past couple of weeks, I’d scaled Kelly’s massive wall and peeked at what lay beyond. But I’d made myself too comfortable, and he’d tossed me back out, stacked his defenses thicker and taller and coiled it with a halo of concertina wire. "
17 " We’re not messing around tonight, I informed him as we reached the main road.I never mess around. I’m all business in the sack. "
18 " Just us two, stripped and spent, hearts beating together in the darkness. "
19 " Nobody’s fucked me that good in ages.” I laughed. “I didn’t even get you off.” “You will. Unless you broke your hip or something. "
20 " His body was as powerful as ever, looking as strong and exciting and cut as it did in my fantasies. He owned me in smooth, explicit strokes. But it was the noises he made that had me aching. The tight grunt each time his hips met mine. There was a helplessness in that plaintive sound. Something that said, Let me in, a plea trying to pass for an order. "
