Code of Conduct (Cipher Security, #1)

by April White

“Pay attention to how he treats waiters and animals. How he treats waiters is how he’ll eventually treat you. How he treats animals is the way he’ll treat your kids.” – Shane, P.I.

Sparky’s expression turned serious. “You’re my muse.” He held my gaze for a long moment. “Oh,” I said, inadequately. He raised an eyebrow as a mischievous grin broke across his face. “You’re also either brave or dumb enough to be my crash test dummy.”

Love this guy! <3

I gave him an impulsive hug and then poked him in the ribs when he sniffed my hair and said I smelled like the vanilla air freshener realtors use when they want to sell a house. Dork.

D’awwww BFFs!

“Why did you wait two days to call her? She gave you her number, right? Call her as you’re walking away and tell her how nice it was to meet her.” – Overheard on the basketball court

But I believed that at heart she was merely a humanist in the classic sense of the word, with an abiding belief in the responsibility and right of all people to lead meaningful, ethical lives capable of adding to the greater good of humanity.

“I don’t want to sound like a badass, but I eject my USB without removing it safely.” – Shane, P.I.

My kind of gal!

I rolled my eyes. “Everything’s a romance. Every good story worth telling has a romantic element – it’s what makes us want to watch them, want to be them.

This!!!

“Payback and Karma are the bitchy little sisters of Revenge, and I promise you, it’s not a family you want to mess with.” – Shane, P.I.

Reading a good revenge story or just getting some amazing groweling is the best.

“You could never be normal. Extraordinary is not normal. Stunning is not normal. Brilliant is. Not. Normal.”

“Instinct is the equivalent of a Morse code message from our ancestors about how to survive.” – Kendra Eze

Brilliant!!!

I was aware of how warm he was, like he was fueled by a radioactive core, and the clothes we slept in were all that stood between me and a third-degree burn.

This feeling is the best. OwO

Pleasure exploded through me with bright sparks of fire, and my orgasm left me gasping in surprise. I clutched the rung of the ladder over my head as he withdrew and thrust again, impossibly deeper, again and again. A second orgasm unfurled through me, and then he buried his groan against my neck as his own throbbed inside me.

I’m so happy for her that she like only 18% of women (none the less 100% of fictional heroines) can achieve an orgasm through vaginal penetration only. At least that is how I read it. AND TWICE! What a trooper! LMAO

“We’re taught that parents are the ones we’re supposed to trust to protect us, and if they do their jobs right, we get to learn self-reliance in a safe and secure environment. But when they screw up – and boy, do they screw up – parental betrayal is possibly the worst thing a person can ever go through. When the person you trust most in the world tells you you’re shit, you either believe them, or you break.”

“Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.” – Fiona Archer

“You’ve been alone too long. Apologies are what inevitably happen when you allow people to matter to you.”

This whole discussion around growling is MASTERFUL!!!
