“Because everything about you screams that you’ve been fighting alone for too damn long, Thorn. You need someone to help carry the weight for a little while. I might not be able to fix everything, but I can help carry the load.”
Because something about him made me feel alive again for the first time in two years.
“We all do what we have to do to make it through. I’m never going to judge you for what you need to feel safe.”
“What. Did. He. Do?”
I was sure there was someone better for Thea. Someone who deserved her more. But I was too damn selfish to step aside and let her find him. And I’d do everything I could to be the man she needed.
“There isn’t a thing you could tell me that would change the way I see you. The only thing it’ll change is knowing just how strong you are to have made it through it all.”
Thea was iron forged in flame. Stronger than anyone could’ve known.
“Trust me?”
“I trust you.”
“If you think there’s anywhere I’d rather be than here, you’re dead wrong.”
“You don’t make me feel uncomfortable. You make me want…more.”
Those amber eyes flashed gold. “More.”
“Penis pumpkins,”
HAHAH I love Lolli
The canvas was covered in dick gourds of every size, shape, and color, but all distinctly phallic.
Haha
“Don’t think I don’t want you there, Thorn. I want you wherever I can get you. Why do you think I’ve been coming to the bakery every day for months? I don’t even like sweets.”
“Kind. Brave. Strong. Funny. So damn smart.”
“You wanting me? I’m only going to feel one way about that. Lucky as hell. And grateful. Okay, so that’s two things.”
“Get. Your. Hands. Off. Her,”
One second, Russ was standing there. The next, Shep’s fist connected with his nose in a sickening crunch I heard even over the music.
Hell yesss
“Don’t ever speak to her again. You even think of looking in her direction, and I’ll do a hell of a lot worse than break your nose.”
Shep made me feel…safe. Something I hadn’t felt in years. Something that was beautiful.
“If you think for one second I don’t want every part of you, you’re wrong. You think I don’t want to know what it feels like to sink inside you, to bury myself so deep I forget my own name? You’re wrong.”
“Tell me what those pretty little fingers are doing, Thorn.”
“What your fingers wouldn’t.”
“Your taste is like a drug. Gonna take all I can get.”
“It’s always the proper gentlemen with the most surprising skills between the sheets.”
Hahahaha
“Do you need anything?
“Just you.”
“You have me,”
“Thanks for making sure I wasn’t alone.”
“I’m with you. ...

“You don’t have to be perfect for me, Shepard. You don’t have to have everything together. I want you just as you are, even when you want to burn down the world.”
“Trust me to handle it. All of you. I can. Because it’s you. And there’s no one I’ve ever trusted more.”
“Love the noises you make. Never want them to end.”
“Don’t know what’s better, those little sounds or my name on your lips as you beg.”
“I want everything, Shepard. The good and the bad. The pretty and the ugly.”
“We find it together. This is you and me.”
“Don’t hide that beauty from me. I want to see all of it. Everything.”
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For making me feel worthy, even ...

“Shep, your worst is only good. Because it just shows how much you care.”
“Thank you for seeing me.”
“Thank you for letting me in.”
“I know better than anyone, just because you don’t share blood with someone doesn’t mean your tie is any less strong. Sometimes, it’s stronger. Because that tether is a choice.”
She had tie-dyed leggings on with bright red sneakers, and her T-shirt read Plant Manager with a massive marijuana leaf on it.
HAhahaa love lolli
“And you’re not welcome in my bakery.”
Go sutton
My stomach roiled as I remembered the music blaring to life in the bakery just before Brendan came inside. It was his way of telling me he could get to me anywhere. And he could get to those I cared about, too.
Fuck him
I had to leave. There was no choice.
Oh.honey
“You’re my home.”
