Quotes edit see section history

• ““No,” Lexie replied. “Nothing says, ‘I like you’ like your tongue in their mouth.””

  Lexie to Krystal and Faye

• “It was the kind of look a man would get once and then fight and die to have aimed his way on a regular basis.”

  Chace about Faye

• ““When he was pressed up against me after kissing me and being all… I don’t know… intense and growly and manly and saying nice thing after nice thing all, well… intense, growly and manly which made him sound like he really, really meant them. At the same time acting like the alpha male who just beat the rest of the world’s alpha males in hand to hand combat and after had climbed up a mountain of their carcasses and was thumping his chest and grunting, ‘Faye, my woman!’"”

  Faye to Lauren

• ““It could all turn bad, Faye, it could, no doubt about it. But it could all end up being better than you ever dreamed. That’s your decision. That’s your risk. Straight up, if I was in your shoes, I’d take your risk. I’d do it again and again and again. I’m not lying. I’d relive every minute I’ve shared with Tate, even the ones when things were insane or they hurt or they were confusing, and I’d jump for joy if I was offered the opportunity to do it on a continual loop for eternity.””

  Lauren to Faye

• “Well, I had to unfuck one and, I’ll remind you, so did you and Laurie, and it wasn’t much fun.” “Mine was fun” “Mine was too, mostly because of all the fucking we did while I was unfucking him.”

  Krystal, Laurie, Lexie

• “When he was pressed up against me after kissing me and being all… I don’t know… intense and growly and manly and saying nice thing after nice thing all, well… intense, growly and manly which made him sound like he really, really meant them. At the same time acting like the alpha male who just beat the rest of the world’s alpha males in hand to hand combat and after had climbed up a mountain of their carcasses and was thumping his chest and grunting, ‘Faye, my woman!’ It’s hard to say no then. Now, when he’s not around, I’m remembering all the times he didn’t say nice things and I’m reconsidering.”

  Faye Goodknight

• “You don’t get it, Keaton, clean pussy therefore undoubtedly sweet pussy, we’re happy for you, man.”

  Ty Walker

• “When I was sixteen, I saw you and when I did, I was young, romantic, and it might sound stupid but the minute I saw you, I knew I wanted to give that to you. I knew it was only you. I waited thirteen years, honey. It was worth the wait.”

  Faye Goodknight

• “For whatever reasons, life took away their parents and led them to a nightmare. Then God was done and He sent an angel to put a stop to it. That angel bein’ you, a woman capable of performing a lot of miracles. Now, when I call you an angel, do you get me?”

  Chace Keaton

• “It was this song. Ella Mae singing this to me when I thought you weren’t all I knew you to be, which is all the words to this song. Twenty-nine years, I held out for this. Then, half an hour later, you proved every one of these words true and every moment since then, you kept doing it. I’ll take you thinking I’m your angel but you need to know you’re my hero. Twenty-nine, honey, I held out for this. Twenty-nine years, I held out for you.”

  Faye Goodknight

• “Baby, you sucked me off, rode me, forced my assent to watch the fuckin’ thing right before I came then we watched it with you on me in my tee, no panties and my hand on your bare ass. Of course I liked it but I didn’t see it.”

  Chace Keaton

• “Bitch, give it up. Your whackjob of a sister isn’t gonna fry even though she should, but she is gonna pay. You talkin’ yourself sick and borin’ everyone to death is not gonna stop it.”

  Ty Walker

• “There was… uh, in my book, you know,” her legs moved against his and she finished so low he barely heard her, “a really good sex scene.”

  Faye

• “A princess,” I breathed.“Another one,” she said gently then lifted her fingers to twitch my hair. “He’s already got one.”

  Faye and Liza

• “Do you love me?” “Yes,” I breathed. “Always?” <...>“Always,” I whispered.”

  Chace and Faye

• ““Baby,” Chace whispered, his hand holding mine giving me a squeeze, "Breathe".”

  Chace to Faye

• ““Baby, kiss me,” Chace prompted when this lasted a long time. “In a second, honey, I’m memorizing this moment.””

  Chace and Faye

• ““She delivered me,” he whispered. “I know that, Chace,” Deck whispered back. “She’s better than a dream.” “I know it, brother.” “She’s gotta be terrified.” “No she isn’t. She’s Faye and she’s waitin’ for you.””

  Chace and Deck
