Budding Attraction Quotes

“I want to keep you.” “Hey … that was my line.” His smile is fucking huge. “This isn’t a proposal because I don’t think I want one of those, and I have no idea if you ever would again either, but this is me saying you’re it for me. I’m never changing my mind about you. I want to move in together and discover each other’s bad habits. I want you to burn dinner and for me to be too messy for your liking. I want to argue and disagree, but once that’s over, I want us to be stronger for it. Because nothing can change how I feel about you, and I want to work to make you mine for the rest of our lives.”

“Dad? We’re hungry!” Keller lets out a long, controlled exhale. “There’s pastries in the kitchen.” “Your son?” “And his best friend, I’m assuming. Those two are inseparable, I swear.” He raises his voice. “And for some reason, they choose to raid my pantry instead of their own.” A head pops into the room. And I say head because the rest of him is hidden behind the wall. “We’re growing boys.” “You’re twenty-six.” “Maybe when we’re as old as you, we’ll stop eating so much.” The guy is tan, with sandy-blond hair and what I think might be a hint of Southern twang. “Go eat and go home,” Keller says.”

“As much as I love taking my time with you, there’s nothing like a quick and dirty fuck.” He hums, hands running around to grab my ass and hold me against him. “Now you get to clean me up and feed me.” “After that, I’ll give you anything you want.” Always. Because I’m never letting this man get away.”

“He whips his shirt off and tucks it into his shorts. “My back feels burned too though.” He turns to show me his completely-not-burned back, and I’m confused for a second before he glances back over his shoulder. “I might need some help with it.” And while my mind is saying, holy shit kill me now, my mouth says, “I got your back, sweetheart. Literally.”

“I’m glad I came this morning.” And I can’t bring myself to respond to that with anything other than the truth. “Yeah, me too.” Ford’s smile turns wicked. “I didn’t realize you cared that much about my sex life.” Of course. “Should have known that’s what you meant.” “Uh-huh. And now I can check out your ass every time you bend over without getting boned up.” My head falls back on a laugh. “Still straight, Ford.” “Still gay, Orson.”

“I strongly believe that we don’t have soul mates, specifically, more that there are certain people in this world who we mush with.” “Mush with?” “Yeah. Like you smoosh together. Combine souls or whatever romantic shit people say.”
