for their religion--

Seven?” “Seven. Good.” “What’s good? Why is seven good?” Griffin sounded slightly panicked. “Because seven is the number of orgasms you’re going to give me today. And when I’ve had seven you can fuck me. And you can’t fuck me until I’ve had seven.” “Seven orgasms? You want me to get you off seven times? One-for-each-day-of-the-week seven?” “Is that a problem?” She cocked her head at him. “Yes, that’s a problem. A big problem,” Griffin said. “Is it? And why so?” she asked.

The air heated between them, and she could have sworn the beads of water on his chest sizzled and became steam. “I understand how your body feels against mine. I understand how sweet you taste. And I understand—precisely—how good we could be together. In bed. Or atop a table. Or against a wall. The problem with understanding seems to be yours.” The air left Izzy’s lungs in a breathy, “Oh.” She stared up him. The poor, confused man. He seemed to believe this sort of growly, lewd declaration would send her running and screaming into the countryside. Instead, his words had the opposite effect.

But my God, if I were a cut-a-girl-into-little-pieces kind of guy, this would be the day I started.”
― C.D. Reiss, King of Code

“There’s something magnetic about Jackson, and I can’t even put my finger on it. He’s unbelievably good looking, sure, but I’ve met good-looking men before. Is it the way that he’s beyond confident, like he knows you’re going to wind up in bed with him, it’s just a matter of when?”
