Quotes by Joe Arden (?)

“As I ready myself, she starts to sit up, looking a little dizzy but still very seductively asking, “Can I return the—” I cut her off before she can finish the thought. “Next time,” I assure her. “And you won’t have to ask me, but right now I need you to lay the fuck back down and let me feel just how wet I made you.”
― Joe Arden, The Chameleon Effect

“This morning, the ocean called me back and I started my day seeking balance within the ceaselessly moving. Calm in the restless waters. Feet planted, knees bent, mind clear—I remain standing. Some days that’s good enough. Some days that’s fucking monumental. Today, I celebrate the small victories.”
― Joe Arden, The Chameleon Effect
