“Ever since my first week at Vector Line, Vanessa had wanted me to be strong and demand respect for myself and my boundaries. She always respected mine and got upset when I didn’t. She fired Jane for taking advantage of me. She was upset when I didn’t take care of my body and skipped breakfast. She got mad when I ignored my limits and drank because of pressure. She always respected and understood my need for physical space at certain times. And even now, she was pushing me to stand my ground once more. It was why I trusted her more than anyone else.
Maybe that was why surrendering to her never felt like giving up control.
It felt like choosing, for once, to place it in the hands of someone who had never asked me to abandon myself.”
― Kanairy Jade, Tender Ties

Our parents were best friends and we were forced into proximity at least once a month. I looked at the long box, my hands sliding on the lush wrapping paper. It was gold and almost felt like fabric under my searching hands. There was a big ribbon, carefully tied.” Teddy”

Willow could only remember two novels with a trapped-in-an-elevator scene. Both had been sapphic romances. In those books, the characters hadn’t put much effort into getting out. They had been too busy having hot sex with each other. But, of course, there was no way she would tell Scottie that.”

“Blake,” Eliana says too softly. “You’re drunk… and high.”
“So are you.”
“We’re… at work.”
“Drinking and smoking.”
Eliana smiles, she’s staring directly at Blake’s eyes. And she’s not embarrassed at all, not leaving, not complaining.

“I’m already horny, I don’t need any of this foreplay.”
