“They aren’t your walls. They’re mine.”
“Should we see? You as sweet as this chocolate or not?”
“When I said I wanted to taste you, I didn’t mean your neck, baby. Or these fuckable lips.”
“Spread your legs wider, baby. I want full access. This is mine now. Mine to taste over and over.”
“So sweet to ask for a kiss. But your pussy wants my mouth more than your tongue.”
“God, you’re way too good looking to be such bad company.”
“Sometimes mending things with certain people means you break yourself.”
“Your chocolate rivals how sweet your pussy is, baby. If I could marry the two flavors, I’d eat your truffles every day … and I don’t even like indulging in chocolate.”
“You can’t take a few guys staring?” “I can. I just don't know if they can take me knocking them out.”
she was a phoenix coming to life, and I was scared I’d ruin her.

Why would I want to fall in love the way she did just so that someone can ruin my heart the way hers was?”
Did he know that I needed protection from losing my heart to him instead?
Sure, you could die of a disease, but I think people could also die from heartbreak.
“I’ve always been a second thought or around when someone doesn’t want me to be. But I won’t be anymore. Not here. I’m not willing to be the person you wished you didn’t like, Dominic. I want someone to enjoy liking me. Love liking me. Or love loving me. And just me. Not the idea of what we could be if you mold me into what you want.”
“I love you so much

She shined light on my darkness and I swallowed it up.
