1 " If I had known I’d have a hot architect balls deep inside of me before the end of the weekend, I’d have made time for a pedicure. "
― Kate Canterbary , Underneath It All (The Walshes, #1)
2 " And though I probably couldn’t spell my own name, I knew with absolute certainty this wasn’t straight-up p-in-the-v sex. This was a spiritual event, and I, for one, wouldn’t have been surprised if some druids started chanting behind us. "
3 " The way you're looking at me right now," he said, his voice turning thick, his words plucked one by one. "It tells me you have no idea that I'm lost to you, that I'm in love with you, that I can't fucking breathe without you. "
4 " I want you and I’ve known it for a long time, and I don’t want to wait anymore. I can’t. I can’t wait anymore. "
5 " I didn’t have the time to deal with man-children who owned a singular set of sheets and still called their hometown pediatrician for every sore throat. "
6 " While this looks all nice and civilised, the two of you better get back upstairs. I know why you’re here, and you’re assholes. Get the fuck out. "
7 " Then again, strokes and dying fathers were bad news for normal people, and we stopped being normal people ages ago. "
8 " Despite every mathematical improbability, we had been waiting for each other. Passing each other in coffeehouses, on the streets of Beacon Hill, and on beaches of Cape Cod, waiting for the moment when our universes collided. Until she fell into my arms. We belonged to each other. "
9 " When did I give him the impression I was ready to go home with him? Was there a switch I flipped between talk of seesaws and soul mates? And he was evidently a manwhore. Only a manwhore would toss me in a cab and assume I wanted to go to his apartment for sex. Sex. I did not want that at all. Lots of sex. Good sex. Dirty sex. Hot sex. Matthew looked like very good sex. "
10 " Dude, I can't get my ass beaten and then watch your moping. Chicks like to be chased. Like, 'rehab the house where you popped her cherry and wait for her to leave her fiancé then tell her stories about your love when she loses her mind' chased. Get on that. At least sac up and call her, but stop your fuckin' moping. "
11 " Is this some kind of thorough, manwhorish customer service? "
12 " Sometimes you met someone and immediately thought, “Wow. Let me take off your pants. And yeah, the shirt too.”Or, in my case, “Let me throw myself down some stairs and rub up against your chest. "
13 " I saw myself bending her over the desk, hiking up her dress, and taking her right now. And I saw her liking it.I spent a full minute on that thought before groaning inwardly. I was a dick. An unprofessional, single-minded dick and I didn’t like small, curvy girls who left their mojo all over me. "
14 " I wouldn’t be against finding a dark corner in the next five minutes, but you’re a bit of a screamer. "
15 " Yeah, that was going to happen right after I told my father I was having sex against walls. "
16 " Oh my God,” she gasped, her hands seizing my hair.I leaned back and aimed a hard gaze at her. “God has nothing to do with this. You want to thank someone, I’ll be right here, worshipping you and your outrageous body for the foreseeable future. God isn’t involved. "
17 " I want this, whatever it takes, but I need you to stop pushing me away. "
18 " Unless you ask the right questions, you will always get the wrong answers. "
19 " You’re such a caveman,” she hissed. “Why do I like that so fucking much?”“It doesn’t have to make sense, sweetness. Just enjoy it. "
20 " the only easy day was yesterday. "
