“As soon as this is over, I’m going to reacquaint you with every horizontal surface in my house.”
“Why limit yourself?”
“Laws of physics,” said Michael against his mouth.
“Oh, laws,” Tristan breathed. “It’s just no fun if you can’t break them.”
― Z.A. Maxfield, Crossing Borders

“Tristan stuck his head around a corner and grinned. “But my parts? Wish you would get your parts in here. I have a can of whipped cream, and I’m not afraid to use it!”
― Z.A. Maxfield, Crossing Borders

“Dear Lord,” began Randy, who paused for long enough that Tristan sneaked an eye open to look at him. His saw his mother’s cheek twitch with what he thought might be apprehension. “We are so grateful to be gathered here today with our family, and the family of our brother’s homosexual boyfriend, and our new little goth friend who has a gay dad, whatever the heck that is all about. We’d like to say we’re grateful this year for condoms, lube, and Ellen Degeneres, and for those guys on Queer Eye…”

Randall Evan Phillips!” his mother shouted.”
― Z.A. Maxfield, Crossing Borders

“How long have we lived together?”
“Too fucking long. That reminds me, I forgot to tell you years ago, pack your shit and get out.”
― Ella Frank, Devil's Kiss

“It was simply that Morgan was right for Theo in ways he couldn’t begin to explain. From little things such as Morgan already knowing so much about Theo—like the fact that he had no siblings—and accepting the way that Ben was still a very important part of his life, all the way through to arguing about absolutely fucking everything, Morgan was just right for him. It wouldn’t have mattered if he’d been twenty-one or sixty-one instead of twenty-eight. He was perfect for Theo.”
― Con Riley, After Ben

“He wonders briefly if he can still keep the Molinaro’s trust money if he murders Patrick. He’s pretty sure there’s no Molinaro stipulation against that. Murder’s always been a viable Molinaro alternative to accepting the consequences of any situation that’s gone wrong.”
― Leta Blake, Will & Patrick Wake Up Married

“Some people meet their life partner in college, others at church, others in a psych ward, others at a funeral. You don’t ask questions, William. You just be grateful you found the one.”
― Leta Blake, Will & Patrick's Happy Ending

“There’s no reason to jump into an ending just because
you jumped into a beginning.”
― Leta Blake, Will & Patrick's Happy Ending

“No two paths are alike in this world, even when you’ve agreed to share yours with someone else. You think you’re walking along in a nice, grassy meadow, but the person beside you keeps talking about the forest all around. Sometimes you get a glimpse of it, but usually you don’t. But it doesn’t matter. You keep walking together because you love each other. That’s the way a life passes with a partner.”
― Leta Blake, Will & Patrick's Happy Ending

“Patrick laughs, and then turns serious. “To my husband,” he toasts again, tapping his glass against Will’s. “The best mistake I ever made.”
“I thought you didn’t make mistakes.”
“Exactly.”
― Leta Blake, Will & Patrick's Happy Ending

“I saw a man that looked like you from behind and my heart skipped a beat. But it wasn't you, of course, and now my heart feels out of rhythm, that one beat still missing.”
― Kate Fierro, Love Starved

“And missing the first train of the morning also meant I didn’t get to see Jay. But I wasn’t going to think about that. Because I am not gay. I don’t notice other guys; I don’t drool over them; I don’t look forward to seeing their handsome face each morning; I don’t dream about them every night; and I definitely don’t get a hard-on thinking about one particular face. Nope! Not gay here at all.
Much.”
― Renae Kaye, Loving Jay

“A mated Walker was a beast better left unprovoked.”
― Nicole Edwards, Ethan

“Jay?”
“Yeah?”
“I have something I need to tell you.”
The smile died on his face as he looked at me with solemn eyes. “Yeah?”
“Babe, I think I’m gay.”
He burst into laughter, almost rolling off the bed. “Liam? Guess what? I think I’m gay, too.”
I pretended to mop at the sweat on my brow. “Oh, thank goodness. Because this could’ve been really awkward if you weren’t.”
― Renae Kaye, Loving Jay

“Life is about people not places. Everyone I care about is out here with me. I’ve nobody to miss back home.”
― Nicola Haken, Taming Ryder

“I'm a mess," he said, halfway joking but halfway not. "I'm demanding and temperamental and I'm terribly high maintenance."

I laughed without even meaning to. "Do you honestly think I don't know all that by now?"

"Then how could you possibly love me?"

I held him tighter, kept kissing his neck. "How can I not?”
― Marie Sexton, Strawberries for Dessert

“I understand addiction now. I never did before, you know. How could a man (or a woman) do something so self-destructive, knowing that they’re hurting not only themselves, but the people they love? It seemed that it would be so incredibly easy for them to just not take that next drink. Just stop. It’s so simple, really. But as so often happens with me, my arrogance kept me from seeing the truth of the matter.
I see it now though.
Every day, I tell myself it will be the last. Every night, as I’m falling asleep in his bed, I tell myself that tomorrow I’ll book a flight to Paris, or Hawaii, or maybe New York. It doesn’t matter where I go, as long as it’s not here. I need to get away from Phoenix—away from him—before this goes even one step further.
And then he touches me again, and my convictions disappear like smoke in the wind.
This cannot end well. That’s the crux of the matter, Sweets. I’ve been down this road before—you know I have—and there’s only heartache at the end. There’s no happy ending waiting for me like there was for you and Matt. If I stay here with him, I will become restless and angry. It’s happening already, and I cannot stop it. I’m becoming bitter and terribly resentful. Before long, I will be intolerable, and eventually, he’ll leave me. But if I do what I have to do, what my very nature compels me to do, and move on, the end is no better. One way or another, he’ll be gone. Is it not wiser to end it now, Sweets, before it gets to that point? Is it not better to accept that this happiness I have is destined to self-destruct?
Tomorrow I will leave. Tomorrow I will stop delaying the inevitable. Tomorrow I will quit lying to myself, and to him.
Tomorrow.
What about today, you ask? Today it’s already too late. He’ll be home soon, and I have dinner on the stove, and wine chilling in the fridge. And he will smile at me when he comes through the door, and I will pretend like this fragile, dangerous thing we have created between us can last forever.
Just one last time, Sweets. Just one last fix. That’s all I need.
And that is why I now understand addiction.”
― Marie Sexton, Strawberries for Dessert

“What if your family doesn’t approve of us—of me?” Ansel looked at his chest. “I’m not your average gay man.”
“I don’t want average. I want amazing. I want you.”
― Elizabeth Varlet, Fierce & Fabulous

“A birthday fuck with a super-hot detective equaled bliss in his book. He wasn’t going to ruin the night by letting his issues control him. Besides, the guy tasted divine. What the hell was that? Peaches?
Damn it all to hell, now he’d never be able to eat the fruit without thinking of Connelly.
He clutched the collar of Connelly’s T-shirt and deepened the kiss. If he was giving up one of his favorite foods for the rest of his life, the night better be fucking worth it.
When Connelly’s hands palmed his ass he thought they were on the right track.
When, out of nowhere, Connelly swatted it then started kneading with both hands, Z vowed to give up every fucking fruit known to man—if only the night would last forever.”
― Elizabeth Varlet, Dark & Dazzling

“He looked solemnly into my eyes. “Avery Stewart. Toffee poke cake. Determined, beautiful, and so goddamn sexy I want to take him home forever.”
“I’m willing,” I whispered.
He searched my face. “I’m panicking about all the things that could go wrong,” he said quietly. “You have the power to break me, Avery. You look at me as if the sun is shining from my eyes and every word I say is golden, and I never want that to disappear. I don’t want to disappoint you. But I will at some stage. I’m only human.”
“I love you,” I confessed. “I didn’t need anyone to help me to figure that out. It completely came all on its own. And I’ve never felt it before, but I realise what it is. It’s not sexual attraction. It’s not companionship. It’s not you telling me what to do so I don’t have to make the decisions myself. All of those things are wrapped into the feeling, but it’s so much more. I’d go out on a limb for you, Christopher. Out of my comfort zone. Out of my security circle. For you I’d try things I’ve never thought of.”
― Renae Kaye, Yes, Professor

“The thing inside him that was so tiny and so fucking big at the same time.”
― K.A. Mitchell, Bad Influence

“No, screw that. I’ve had nice guys. I’ve dated and taken my time before ending up in bed with them.”
Silver’s skin prickled with gooseflesh.
Zeb’s hands moved onto Silver’s shoulders, intensifying the charge racing through his body. “None of them made me crazy. None of them made me feel like I couldn’t breathe right until we kissed. None of them made my whole body hum with the need to touch. You do.” Zeb’s grip shifted to Silver’s forearms and pulled him to his feet. “You turned my life upside down, and I couldn’t put it back together in any way that made sense without you.”
― K.A. Mitchell, Bad Influence

“But I don't like him," Emily said stubbornly but lowered her voice. "Don't like how he looks at you."
"How he looks at me?" Shawn repeated.
"Like Bee looks at a pancake.”
― Alessandra Hazard, Just a Bit Twisted

“I try to rub my arms, but I still feel cold.
I dress, but nothing I put on fits right.
I try and eat, but all the food tastes like sawdust.
I turn on the TV, but the lights and noise hurt my head.
I pace around the living room.
I pace in the kitchen.
I pace in the living room again.
I grab my car keys.
I get in my car.
I drive and drive and drive, and I think I‟m going to leave.
I think I‟m going to leave and not look back.
It would be easier.”
― T.J. Klune, Bear, Otter, and the Kid

“To get what you want, you have to know exactly how much you are willing to give up.

Never had he wanted something this badly, and held it in his hands knowing that tomorrow it would be gone, traded for the high cliffs of Ios, and the uncertain future across the border, the chance to stand before his brother, to ask him for all the answers that no longer seemed important. A kingdom, or this.”
― S.U. Pacat, Captive Prince: Volume Two

“Damen felt Laurent start shaking against him, and realised that, silently, helplessly, he was laughing.
There came the sound of at least two more sets of footsteps striding into the room, greeted with: 'Here he is. We found him fucking this derelict, disguised as the tavern prostitute.'
'This is the tavern prostitute. You idiot, the Prince of Vere is so celibate I doubt he even touches himself once every ten years. You. We're looking for two men. One was a barbarian soldier, a giant animal. The other was blond. Not like this boy. Attractive.'
'There was a blond lord's pet downstairs,' said Volo. 'Brained like a pea and easy to hoodwink. I don't think he was the Prince.'
'I wouldn't call him blond. More like mousy. And he wasn't that attractive,' said the boy, sulkily.
The shaking, progressively, had worsened.
'Stop enjoying yourself,' Damen murmured. 'We're going to be killed, any minute.'
'Giant animal,' said Laurent.
'Stop it.”
― S.U. Pacat, Captive Prince: Volume Two

“It was like being alone in a pit with a snake: the snake could relax, you could not.”
― C.S. Pacat, Captive Prince: Volume Two

“Men find themselves in the places they put themselves”
― C.S. Pacat, Captive Prince: Volume Two

“All the unspoken things that were said with glances and implications. One of the things he liked best about being in a relationship: It always felt like a conspiracy of two.”
― L.A. Witt

“Death was both kind and cruel: the overture was pure torment for anyone involved, but the conclusion was merciful.”
― L.A. Witt, Capture & Surrender
