Christina Lauren Quotes

He could only do rowdy because he felt what I felt: that whip-crack unleashing that comes when you meet the person who frees you

For the first time in my life I was admitting defeat.

I just want to see you come apart."I wanted to tell her that she was witnessing it now, and in all honesty she'd been watching it happen for weeks.

I'd never wanted to consume another body as rabidly as I did when he was inside me, but even like this, I could never seem to get close enough to the parts of him I wanted to feel.
