“I can never go back from this, Bianca. It would break me to let you go. You know that, right?”
R.K. Lilley, Grounded
“Wow. So the crazy train is going full speed ahead, huh? ‘Bout fuckin’ time.”
R.K. Lilley, Lovely Trigger
“Love changes you. No matter how strong you are, it makes you stronger. No matter how weak you are, it makes you weaker. No matter how hard you are to conquer, it will bring you to your knees.”
R.K. Lilley, Breaking Her
tags: love
“That’s how love works. It doesn’t die, even when you don’t feed it. That’s just the way it is. I wouldn’t change it, even if I could. Loving her has become a part of who I am.”
R.K. Lilley, Lovely Trigger
“What exactly did Tristan tell you?”   “Oh, so you do know him?  Not much.  He just kind of…warned me off, in a vague sort of way.  He said you had an ex-husband that was liable to stab me in my sleep if I laid a hand on you.  He said he was huge, and insanely violent when it came to you, or rather who you date.  He basically told me that your ex would go to jail for murder before he’d let you go out with a guy like me.”
R.K. Lilley, Lovely Trigger
“You're my angel, Bianca. You've exorcised my demons. I don't have nightmares when I'm with you. I don't have to work seventy hour work weeks to keep my mind distracted. My life has become more than work and emotionless affairs. You make me a better man.”
R.K. Lilley, Mile High
“You can call me Grandpa, if that does it for you.”
R.K. Lilley, In Flight
“It isn’t fair for a man that perfect to be loose among the public.”
R.K. Lilley, In Flight
“Wear that," he told me.
I didn't protest. It was comfortable enough.
I grabbed a bra and some panties out of my dresser.
He followed me there, digging through the drawer without asking.
"Nice," he said.
"I ordered you a few dozen more pairs. The last line of defensebetween me and your pussy is bound to take some casualties.”
R.K. Lilley, In Flight
“With him being so charming, and so perfect, so heart-achingly beautiful, but tarnished in all of the right places, and in all of the ways that I understood so well, how could I not love him?”
R.K. Lilley, Mile High
tags: love
“Everyone should get to experience a love like that. That kind of love that makes us better people.”
R.K. Lilley, Grounded
“I was born for the storm, and a calm does not suit me.”
R.K. Lilley, Breaking Him
“The things he made me feel had opened a floodgate, and the damned thing wouldn't close.”
R.K. Lilley, Mile High
“You’re insane,” I told him, and stood up to dress.
He hugged me from behind, pressing hard against me, rubbing his smooth chest along my back. He spoke into my ear, “Insane for you, my love.”
R.K. Lilley, Grounded
“I thought that I’d found my new favorite hobby—watching Tristan cook anything at all.
“Bev has this really great frilly pink apron,” I told him. “What would I have to do to get you to wear
it while you cook for me?”
“You don’t even want to know, boo,” he said.
That effectively shut me up again.”
R.K. Lilley, Bad Things
“There was an anchor, tied around both of his ankles, and it was taking him deep, into black fathomless depths, drowning him slowly but surely.
I didn’t tell him that he was dragging me down with him.”
R.K. Lilley, Rock Bottom
“Jealousy is always born with love but it does not die with it.” ~Francois de La Rochefoucauld”
R.K. Lilley, Breaking Him
“We can do this as many times as you want, Mrs. Cavendish.”
R.K. Lilley, Grounded
“Even his voice was unfair.”
R.K. Lilley, In Flight
“He was gleaming with sweat. It would have taken inhuman willpower not to drink in every inch of his muscled, tatted up body.
And I was human. Oh Lord, was I human.”
R.K. Lilley, Lovely Trigger
“Tristan's decline was steady and sure after that.

Every tragedy, every harship, seemed to suck him just a little bit deaper into the grip of his own personal hell.
It felt like every slip up, every relapse, was pulling us down, until the weight of all our failures was dragging us under.
At first we were drowning together, but my will to survive was too strong to let that continue forever.
My hold on him became weaker and weaker, and eventually, every finger broken, my hands opened, and I let him go.

No one could say I didn't fight for him. No one could say I didn't lose.”
R.K. Lilley, Rock Bottom
“I want to share my life with you, to be
monogamous with you, and my past is in the past. I wish there was some way I could prove it to you, once and for all. I do have a sordid past, but I’ve never lied to any of the women I’ve been with, and I’ve never promised to anyone the things I promise to you.”
R.K. Lilley, Mile High
“Is that where you draw the line? I'll never understand why some things are more taboo than others."
"And that's what makes you so kinky, the fact that you don't see the difference.”
R.K. Lilley, Grounded
“You’re fooling yourself if you think I don’t have those feelings for you, Tristan. I’ve fallen in love with you.”
R.K. Lilley, Bad Things
“He gave me a rueful smile, his brown eyes so endearing. I could tell he was about to say something funny. I just knew him that well. "That's like asking if I'm a fan of cancer. I fucking hate it, but do I know how to get rid of it? Not fucking likely.”
R.K. Lilley, Lovely Trigger
“I was still hurting, my heart still aching with all of the loss, but I began to attempt to live again.
To wake, to move, to try taking small steps in the right direction. I was alone in that path.”
R.K. Lilley, Rock Bottom
“Some of the sweetest moments in life come from second chances.”
R.K. Lilley, Lovely Trigger
“I don't know to this day if I screamed out loud, but deep down in my soul, in the place inside of me that was bursting to be a mother, that pined for it, that lived and breathed for the day that I could give birth to my own child, my own flesh and blood, that part of me screamed, "Noooo!"
It was quite possible that, somewhere deep down, I never stopped screaming it”
R.K. Lilley, Rock Bottom
“I would love this man to the end of my days.  I’d fallen too deep.  Middle of the Pacific deep, with no land in sight.  There was no going back.  My heart was his forever.”
R.K. Lilley, Bad Things
“The only way you could be good in bed for me would (be) if you became a complete person, not just some shell of a man that doesn't have a middle ground between putting women on a pedestal and degrading them with meaningless sex.”
R.K. Lilley, Grounded
