“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”

“...the secret of a good relationship is to accept and enjoy what the other person is willing to offer instead of yearning for something they can't or won't give.”
― Gillibran Brown, More Fun With Dick And Shane

9 people liked it

“I'm talking about an intense, private bonding between a dominant personality and a submissive one. Between two people who have chosen to make a loving gift to one another of themselves...not just of their bodies, but of the parts of themselves that they hold back from the rest of the world. The control dynamic in a relationship like that may look uneven, but the power is really quite...balanced”
― Indigo Wren, The Trap

“The man read Eugene O'Neill on the beach. He had a stash of emergency pickle juice and a pet rat. He was hardly a model of stability.”
― J.A. Rock, Calling the Show

“True submission comes from a place of strength, ... because submitting means choosing to make yourself vulnerable to another person. It takes real guts to do that. It isn't weakness at all - exactly the opposite, in fact.”
― Indigo Wren, The Trap
