He'd calmed me when no one else could.
He'd saved me from myself.
If only they knew the truth...
But no one is listening, and his time is already up.
Tick, tick, tock.
My ending, staring right at me from the very beginning.
She was everything I couldn't have and shouldn't want, but the more she taunted, the more my resolve crumbled. Temptation had come to visit, and her steely determination would likely destroy us both.
Trust me, I do see you", he stressed.
"You're all I fucking see, Addison. When I close my eyes, when I open them, when I'm teaching. You're. There. All. The. Fucking. Time.
Sometimes I wish I'd never seen you."
Look at you sitting here with your legs spread and my cock so fucking deep I don't think I'll ever leave. Jesus, Addison. I thought you were perfect before. Now I fucking know it.
Temptation be damned. I'd given in long ago. She was now my very own personal sin.
You're going to be the death of me."
Life is full of ironies, because with him, I'd never felt more alive.
“I looked at her- she looked at me.
My ending, staring right at me from the very beginning.”
“I think about you all the time. I can't stop."
Shaking my head, I ran my palm over my wet face. This couldn't be happening to me. I would not allow it. I knew better.
"Addison, it's natural to form attachments to your teachers."
"Is it natural to picture them fucking you?”
“Stop it.”Grayson may just be everything Addison needs. Her life has been in turmoil for years. Ever since one incident turned it upside down. He might just be the man she needs to save her from herself.
“Make me,” I challenged.
His voice was barley audible as he admitted, “I can’t.”
"It wasn’t good. It wasn’t evil. It was just love."
"Temptation had come to visit, and her steely determination would likely destroy us both."
“I told you. When you look at me, you see more.” I cradled his face in my hands and let my eyes roam over him.
“And when I look at you, I see for the first time the possibility of everything.”
“Fuck,” he swore under his breath. “How do I fight against someone like you?”
“You don’t.”
"Temptation be damned. I’d given up long ago. She was now my very own personal sin."
“I’m not one of your little boys that can be led around by their cock. Now. Leave”
“Fuck I was in heaven. I was also aware that I was pretty damn close to being assured a spot in hell.”
“While Grayson brought peace and calm to my life, I brought worry and chaos to his.”
“My ending, staring right at me from the very beginning.”
“I’d been wrong, I thought as he raised his head. He didn’t have the ability to calm me... Grayson had the ability to make me forget.”
“Addison’s mouth was sweet, and her body... it was fucking sinful.”
“I dropped my head into my hands, remembering Addison’s words, I’m your monster. She was so very wrong. I was honest enough to admit I was fighting myself. I’d become my own monster.”
"What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil."
"Addison was a dangerous distraction to a man whose life was in chaos. She was the promise of youth, of being fearless…of being alive. She was everything I couldn’t have and shouldn’t want, but the more she taunted, the more my resolve crumbled.
"Desire, lust, and a woman. They were always the ingredients in man's ultimate betrayal. Whether it was of the heart, mind, or soul."
"When you look at me, you see more.” I cradled his face in my hands and let my eyes roam over him. “And when I look at you, I see for the first time the possibility of everything.”
“I don’t want to be something that you look at and hate. I can’t be that to you, not when you are the opposite to me. I’m bad for you. Poison,”
"What we had was as simple and as complicated as love could be. We were two people who were perfectly suited and met at exactly the wrong time.
"And what would you tell them? Hello, Mrs. Lancaster, I'm calling to let you know that your daughter has been turning up at my house and masturbating in her car. Oh, and can you please keep her away from me because she gives me a hard-on?"Or when's taunting him...
"Making you say yes will be fun."
"What if you don't touch? There's nothing wrong with…watching, is there?"
"It would be nice to know whose name to call when I touch myself at night."
"I don’t want to be something that you look at and hate. I can't be that to you, not when you are the opposite to me. I’m bad for you. Poison."And despite this, she can't stay away from him, because he does what no one else can, he helps her.
"'You're going to be the death of me.' Life is full of ironies, because with him, I'd never felt more alive."
"You make it go away."But both of them are powerless to stop what's happening between them, even if they both know it can't end well.
Not understanding, I asked, 'I make what go away?'
Dropping all pretense, she replied, 'The chaos.'"
"I looked at her—she looked at me. My ending, staring right at me from the very beginning."Before she even tries to tempt him, he knows how much he's drawn to her. Grayson was easy to fall for as well. Even as he pushes her away initially, he's never cruel to her. And she's the only thing he thinks about.
"I knew right then after only one taste, that if I couldn’t have her, there would be nobody else."And of course his dirty mouth certainly didn't hurt...
"I'll teach you how to come with a man inside you. Not a boy, Addison, a man."
"Hearts come and go. If you want hers, then take it."
"What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil."
"It wasn't good, and it wasn't evil—it was just love."And I know the last two are pretty much the same thing, but I liked the poetry of both of them :p I'd absolutely recommend this book if you're looking for suspense, sex, love, and tears... it delivers them all flawlessly!
“I never knew that I’d risk everything, even my freedom, just to touch someone. Just to touch you.”
“Addison, it’s natural to form attachments to your teachers.”
“Is it natural to picture them f*cking you?”
“I looked at her—she looked at me. My ending, staring right at me from the very beginning.”
“Temptation had come to visit, and her steely determination would likely destroy us both.”
“With him the ticking had stopped.”
“I’ll teach you how to come with a man inside you. Not a boy, Addison, a man.”
“You’re going to be the death of me.”
Life is full of ironies, because with him, I’d never felt more alive.
“It wasn’t wrong. No—it was just misunderstood.”
