21 " Growing accustomed to something doesn't mean I like it. I just learned to prefer it over the alternative option, which includes letting people get too close. What's the point when they always leave anyway? "
― Lauren Asher , Terms and Conditions (Dreamland Billionaires, #2)
22 " are you going to spend the rest of your life alone because you’re too afraid to get close to someone? It’s still the same loneliness no matter how you paint it. "
23 " Daisuki1.” His deep thrust makes me gasp. “Szeretlek2.” He presses his lips against my forehead. My pulse flutters at the gesture, sending a rush of pleasure all the way to my toes. “Ich liebe dich3.” Our gazes connect. The way I shiver has nothing to do with his touch and everything to do with the way he looks at me. I might not be able to recite foreign words like him, but I understand tone and body language, and whatever he says makes my heart feel so full, it might burst. You’re falling for him. For the first time ever, I’m not afraid of love. If this is what it feels like, I’m willing to try, consequences be damned. "
24 " I could spend the rest of forever with you and it still wouldn’t be enough time to finish everything I have planned for us. "
25 " Ahh. There’s the big, grumpy man I know and like.” “One day that mouth is going to get you in trouble. "
26 " By the time the auctioneer steps away from the podium, I’ve spent over fifty-million dollars solely for the rush I get whenever Iris smiles. "
27 " So what if you failed? You're never going to accomplish anything worthwhile if you keep to your comfort zone. "
28 " For someone who sucks at using anything but grunts and orders to communicate, he sure knows how to make my insides melt from a single sentence. Except it’s all a lie. "
29 " You look good on your knees, Mr. Kane.” “Try to not let it get to your head.” The corners of his lips twitch into that usual Declan smile. A flash of a camera goes off, catching the moment. "
30 " I can assure you that I will always have Iris’s best interests at heart.” Even if they jeopardize mine. "
31 " Opportunities aren't a matter of luck, but rather hard work and sacrifices. "
32 " But still, my whole chest aches for him because obviously I have a thing for misunderstood billionaires. "
33 " I might be cold, rude, and distant, but I’m not blind. My whole job is about evaluating assets and it turns out that you’re my biggest one. "
34 " Talk about her like that again and I swear I’ll make your last twelve months as CEO absolutely miserable. "
35 " As in you bury me. A rough translation for the way I want to leave this world before you because I can’t imagine having to go through a single day without you in it. "
36 " To love means to lose more than I’m willing to part with. "
37 " I swallow back the lump in my throat. “I fucked up.” “It’s nothing some good groveling can’t fix.” “Groveling?” “Get in the car and I’ll explain.” His grin is worrisome. Well, shit. This is going to be an interesting car ride. "
38 " There’s no other explanation for the backward ball cap, athletic pants, and T-shirt speckled in powdered sugar. "
39 " Save your display for the cameras.” Declan wraps his arm around me. While his gesture comes off robotic, I appreciate his ability to try to make this look legitimate. Try being the key word. He’s stiffer than my nana’s cocktails, and those suckers can get anyone drunk from a single cup. "
40 " Damn right she wasn’t. Fake marriage or not, Iris is destined to be with one man and one man only. Me. "
