Of Shame and Joy Quotes

“The book was We Walk Alone by Ann Aldrich.”
― Lawrence Block, Of Shame and Joy: Collection of Classic Erotica - Book 11

“She wanted to relax again, but every muscle in her body was firm and tense and rigid and she knew that she couldn’t relax, couldn’t possibly relax, not until something was done that she didn’t really want to be done at all. Damn it, she thought. Damn it to hell. You promised, she told herself. You promised up and down that there wouldn’t be any more men and it never did a damned bit of good. There was a man, and he looked at you, and the next minute you were ready to spread yourself and welcome him like a long-lost brother. Damn it, anyway.”
― Lawrence Block, Of Shame and Joy: Collection of Classic Erotica - Book 11
