“Alright, what kind of woman are you?” “An incredible one,” she deadpans.
You can snap if you need to, just don’t break on me.”
Life would be so much easier if I could dim my emotions with a simple flip. I’d keep my anxiety turned off and my sarcastic quips turned on.
All I want is someone who sees the darkest corners of my soul and doesn’t get scared off by the cobwebs.
This man looks like he was handcrafted with temptation.
He’s got this intense look that whispers temptations of nights spent tangled in bedsheets, but I’m done with men who look like fallen angels.
He winks. I try not to frown, but men who wink at strangers should come with a warning label.
“You hate hockey? Do you also hate cats and sunshine?”
Rhode Tremblay should pay me rent for all the space he’s taking up in my mind.
“I noticed a lot of things about you, Nina.”
“Now I get why you wanted a fake boyfriend. You need a fake husband? I’ll sign a fake marriage contract.”
“So, name any position that you want, because I bet I can fake fuck you better than he ever did for real.”
“I only have one rule,” she says. “Don’t kiss me.”
Call me desperate, but I want a taste of her, and from the way she’s staring, I think she wants that too. Fuck it to hell, I’m kissing her.
I want someone who loves me so much that they shout about my successes in the grocery store checkout line while ringing up avocados.
“So, I’m just going to be indebted to you forever?” “Pretty much.” I wave a hand. “Feel free to bow down and get on your knees.”
“I’m not scared of Gramps over there. What’s he gonna do? Throw his dentures at me?”
He keeps shoving this age difference in my face, and all it does is make me want to prove him wrong.
“You’re not little, and I stand up for you. You should hear my trash talk when I watch your games. I’m getting good.”
I really need to stop imagining him at night, and in the morning, and okay, that one time at lunch.
I can’t change my appearance, but I feel like tattoos are a way to show people the parts of me that I want to be seen.”
He needs to be careful with those baby blues because a woman could drown in that look and never come up for air.
“There’s nothing wrong with a girl who’s got a dirty mouth. Isn’t that right, Rhode?”
“Most of the time it feels like I’m constantly climbing out of this mental ditch while everyone around me is walking up mountains of success, but I’m still stuck, always ending up in the same place no matter how hard I try. I hate it.”
Every time she walks into a room, you track her like a puck.”
I want her. I want her bad. And if she’ll have me, I’ll make her feel so fucking good.
“Yeah, I’m jealous as fuck. I don’t like seeing you in Cruz’s jersey, and I’m struggling not to rip it off you right now.”
it’s not fair to hold someone accountable to a past version of themselves when they’re trying,
“I could have you every day, and it still wouldn’t be enough.”
I’m spanking you again, and this time, I won’t be gentle about it.” Her brow lifts in a challenge. “Is that a promise?”
Your career is important, but you can build whatever life you want when it’s over.”
How can I tell her that I want to lick every inch of her body, but I fucking blush when I say that I like talking to her?
Love is made with little moments, and we have enough to build a castle.
The only person who doesn’t need anything from me is Nina, and that has me tempted to give her everything.
“You’ve got it so bad for her.” “Yeah, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“You know your insults bounce right off me, right?” She flicks her ponytail. “Good thing I have a lot of them.”
“I’d stay forever for you.”
Finding someone who makes the dull moments spectacular, who turns grocery shopping into an adventure, and then, you choose to spend all your boring moments together because they don’t feel that way around them.
“I found you, and now, you’re the only thing I see.”
I’m not worried about getting burned by her because I’d gladly walk into the flames for this woman.
“I’m tempted to call you a good girl for the rest of my life just so you’ll keep snapping at me like that.”
