Contempt Quotes

“In case I’ve left any doubts, I consider you mine, Parker. And there’s nothing you can do to change that.”
― Sam Mariano, Contempt

“At school, it’s common knowledge that any asshole who even looks at Parker for too long is going to get a visit from me. Since middle school, the mere threat of it has sufficiently dissuaded most guys—and the more persistent ones got their asses kicked.”
― Sam Mariano, Contempt

“My heart slams to a stop when I catch sight of movement, then accelerates like it’s on jet fuel when my mind grapples with the reality of what I’m seeing. Landon Atwater, shirtless in just a pair of gray sweats and cross-trainers that probably cost more than my laptop. He’s using a piece of gym equipment, a metal frame with a bar across the top. His feet aren’t touching the ground and, without meaning to, I watch as he lifts himself until his chin goes above the bar. The muscles in his body flex with the effort, but he makes it look easy. He’s glistening with sweat, so I guess he’s been at it for a while. That explains the heat in this room. I’m so hot, I feel like I accidentally stepped into a sauna.”
― Sam Mariano, Contempt
