Quiver (Philia Players #1)

by Giuliana Victoria

I was afraid I’d accidentally fall into a hyperfixation and end up reading smut every night when I should’ve been studying. It was just better to avoid the temptation.

“And think twice about speaking to me like I’m a child in need of reprimanding.”

“Gattina, if I were reprimanding you, you’d know it. I’d have you bare-assed, lying over my lap as I spank the defiance out of you.”

I'm saying you're fucking stunning. Magnificent. A goddamn vision, and if you become any more beautiful, I'd be simply blinded by you.

“No, Kat, baby, can I take care of you tonight? I don’t mean pulling some sorry excuse for a human being off of you at a bar or taking you home. I mean, can I grab a pair of sweats from my place real quick and then take you to your room, run you a bubble bath to soak in while I make something for you to eat, and cuddle you on the couch until you fall asleep?”

But the way she moans and responds to my words and not just my touch? It leaves me unhinged. I want to devour her every sound.

Frankly, I think we should all just let people read whatever the hell they want as long as it isn’t hurting anyone else.

I love you like you’re the first and the last breath of fresh air I’ll ever take.”
