1 " You are not my possession. You’re going to be my wife. My wife who kneels at my feet, who presents her cunt to me without question when I demand it, who trusts me with her heart and soul and future. You think it is either/or that you belong to yourself or you belong to me, but I’m telling you right now that it’s both/and. You belong to yourself and you belong to me, and I don’t fucking care that it seems to be a contradiction because we both know it isn’t. Now if you can’t accept that, then say my name right now and we will step back and renegotiate our relationship. But if you are willing to submit to the fact that I will move fucking heaven and earth to keep you from harm, then say yes, Sir. "

2 " So many networks of love and heartbreak, so many deep folds and layers to a person’s heart. "
3 " And to be seen—really seen—was the most terrifying thing I’d ever felt. "
4 " I want to go the brink of not knowing myself, I want someone to take me there and hold me by the neck and make me stare at an entire reckless realm of possibility. "
5 " God can warn me all he wants, but that doesn’t mean I have to listen. "
6 " Tell me you’re eighteen,” he whispered. “I’m not.” “Damn you.” And then he tilted my face back up to his, and his mouth came down over mine anyway. "
7 " The secret he keeps, the lies he tells. "
8 " Not ambitious,” he said, dark eyes searching my face. “But often careless. Not cold, but sometimes distant. Passionate, intelligent, dreamy…and too easily hurt. "
9 " His eyes search mine. “So why did I want to meet you today? Because I haven’t been able to stop wanting to meet you for ten years. Because I want you. I want to kiss you again. I want to learn everything about you, everything about what you love and hate, what you study, what you want for your future.” He reaches up, his thumb brushing against my lower lip. “I want you to be mine. "
10 " Jealousy is a word with too many meanings. It’s a TARDIS of a word, bigger on the inside, a small, mean thing on the surface, but a complicated dance of emotions and negotiations within. I’m suffering with every single meaning of the word jealous. "
11 " Just because it’s not common doesn’t mean it’s wrong,” I "
12 " Sometimes the forbidden fruit is just too sweet not to bite. "
13 " I saw that you can be hurt—mortally wounded, in fact—and it doesn’t have to be anyone’s fault. Sometimes the world is just cruel that way, and it wasn’t fair to grudge them their happiness even as it tore down my own. "
14 " We know what happens when two people fall in love. It’s happened between each of us. We have to find out what happens when three people fall in love. All together, all at once. "
15 " And then both men begin moving, going slow to find the rhythm that suits us all best, because of course it's not about finding the best way for two people, but for three, and then they find it, that perfect tempo, their two cocks rubbing together inside my pussy the same way they rubbed together "
16 " I still feel like I want to melt into him, dissolve into nothing and everything at once. "
17 " It’s when I’m almost to the front that I see that the small white square in Ash’s tuxedo pocket isn’t a silk handkerchief, it’s undeniably the familiar lace of my panties. "
18 " I knew I was destined to love him. I knew I was destined to be his. There's no place he can go that I won't follow, no sacrifice he can demand of me that I won't give, no part of myself that I won't offer willingly and completely to him. "
19 " He smelled like leather and woodsmoke. He smelled like a fire burning. "
20 " You can own me because now I know I own you. Give me more and I’ll give you everything "
