“I think you should forget about the past and kiss me right now.”
“How’d you like me to kiss you, Dreamy?”

“You’re so fucking beautiful,”
“Fuck,” he breathed. “If you’re not okay with me taking you against this wall right now, I need you to say it, Mackenzie.”

“That’s not what I mean. I love you, Linc. I’ve known since—”

“You’re so fucking beautiful, Mackenzie. You’re so fucking mine.” “I love you, Linc. So much,”
“Dreamy, there’s no other choice. You’re it for me.” “Thank you for still wanting me.”
“You belong to me. I belong to you. This is it. Understand?”
