Love Declaration Quotes

“Meg! I love you! I want to marry you!"
"That's weird," she said without stopping. "Only six weeks ago, you were telling me all about how Lucy broke your heart."
"I was wrong. Lucy broke my brain.”
― Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Call Me Irresistible

“Theodore," Ben says, interrupting him. " You seem like a... nice guy."
"Thanks," Theodore says, smiling.
"Let me finish," Ben says, holding up a finder in warning. "Because you're about to hate me. I lied. I'm not writing a paper." He points at Glenn. "This guy told me earlier today where to show up tonight so that I could find the girl I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with. And I'm sorry, but that girl just so happens to be your date. And I'm in love with her. Like, really in love with her. Crippling, debilitating, paralyzing love. So please accept my sincerest apologies, because she's coming home with me tonight. I hope. I pray." Ben shoots me an endearing look. "Please ? Otherwise this speech will make me look like a complete fool and that won't be good when we tell our grandkids about this.”
― Colleen Hoover, November 9

“Let me go now, Lucan.”

“I can’t do that.” He took her hand and lifted it to his lips. His mouth was warm and soft on her fingertips, weaving a spell around her as only he could do. He brought her hand closer, pressing her palm to his chest, to the heavy throb that beat against his ribs like a drum. “I can’t ever let you go, Gabrielle. Because whether you want it from me or not, you have my heart. You have my love, too. If you’ll accept it.”

She swallowed hard. “What?”

“I love you.” The words were low and earnest, a caress she felt deep inside of her. “Gabrielle Maxwell, I love you more than life itself. I’ve been alone for so long, I didn’t know enough to recognize that until it was nearly too late.” He stopped talking then, searching her eyes intently. “It’s not . . . too late, is it?”

He loved her. Joy, pure and bright, poured through her to hear those words coming from Lucan.
“Say it again,” she whispered, needing to know that this moment was real, that it would last.

“I love you, Gabrielle. With every ounce of life in me, I love you.”
― Lara Adrian, Kiss of Midnight

“I have a counteroffer. I'll tell you the job description I really want."
Raine's throat tightened in frustration. If he was going to keep it on this level, it was up to her to force them to the next one. As always.
Seth looked down at his feet. She saw his Adam's apple bob, once. Twice. He met her eyes, with the look of a man who was facing the firing squad. "Full-time lover," he said hoarsely. "Father of your children. Companion in adventure, champion, guardian, protector, helpmeet, mate. Love of you life. Forever.”
― Shannon McKenna, Behind Closed Doors

“You’re my world, Gracelyn Mae,” he told me, moving in closer. [...] Jackson took my hands into his. “You’re my faith. You’re my hope. You’re my true religion. I’m a better man because you exist. I’m me because of you. And if you’d allow it, I’d love to spend the rest of my life worshipping your heartbeats.”
I held his hands in mine and moved in close. My head tilted up, and I released a small breath as my eyes locked with his. A small, tiny, breath. My mouth grazed across his, and I whisperedagainst his lips.
“Worship me, and I’ll worship you.”
― Brittainy C. Cherry, Disgrace

“I love your eyes. Your mouth. Your body. The way you lose your temper when you're flustered. Your ass is so fucking hot. I love the sounds you make when you fuck me. I love that you fight with me, and I love the way you make up with me. I love you, Tracy. I love you so fucking much.”
― Mercy Celeste, Sidelined

“My heart is where you are, Ainsley. So when you leave..." Cameron made an empty gesture.

"I'll come back," she said stubbornly.

"To this wreck of a man? Why should you?"

"Because I love you”
― Jennifer Ashley, The Many Sins of Lord Cameron

“I wish I was as true an artist as you so that I could find a way to tell you what you’ve become to me. America, my love, you are sunlight falling through trees. You are laughter that breaks through sadness. You are the breeze on a too-warm day. You are clarity in the midst of confusion.
You are not the world, but you are everything that makes the world good. Without you, my life would still exist, but that's all it would manage to do.
You said that to get things right one of us would have to take a leap of faith. I think I've discovered the canyon that must be leaped, and I hope to find you waiting for me on the other side.”
― Kiera Cass, The One

“I want to go to bed with you every night and wake up next to you in the morning and do boring, everyday things, cuddle on the sofa and watch old movies, and all that stupid shit couples do. And if you can't love me back, I'll deal, but if this is all bullshit and you just want to get rid of me, you better come out with it straight, because otherwise, I won't let you fuck this up.”
― Lou Harper, Hanging Loose

“Yeah, baby, I’m yours, and I wouldn’t have it any other way, love.”
― M.L. Rodriguez, Leap of Faith

“That, for a few moments, I can hold my breath and be back there with you, in a dream, in a thousand rooms, nowhere at all?
I think perhaps Hamilton said it better in a letter to Eliza:
You engross my thoughts too intirely to allow me to think of any thing else—you not only employ my mind all day; but you intrude upon my sleep. I meet you in every dream—and when I wake I cannot close my eyes again for ruminating on your sweetness.”
― Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

“He was there everynight, to make me laugh, to make me blush, to make a girl that couldn't dream, dream of a thousand different lives with him. He was the unwavering rock to lean on the nights when breathing felt insufferable. He was the voice and I was the echo.”
― Iris Lake, Meet Me in the Ether

“I fell in love with you, your mind, your heart. The more I got to know about you, the more I fell in love. I fall more every day because you woke up the woman I learned about through the pages of this book. I see you, May. You are a rarity that I want to continue to learn about, study and understand every moment of every day for the rest of my life.”
― Taryn Christeen, Dear Future Husband

“You don’t have to do this, you know. Shut me out. I feel like I’ve only read one chapter of your story, Kathy. And it was a great chapter, really riveting, but I want the rest. I want the oversharing narrator and the clumsy metaphors and the plot twists you don’t know what to do with. I want it all. I want you.”
― Maxie Dara, A Grim Reaper's Guide to Catching a Killer

“What I'm trying to say, Brooke Overland, is that I want to be your nanny."
That's seriously the most romantic thing I've ever heard in my life.”

“I’ve seen and done things that will give you nightmares, but only you, Julia, only you have the power to bring me to my knees.”
― M.L. Rodriguez, Imperfectly Beautiful

“Oh, God,” Victoria choked behind him, staring in horror at the white scars that crisscrossed his beautiful back. There were dozens of them. Her fingers shook as she reached out to touch them; the moment she did, his skin flinched.

“Do they still hurt?” she whispered in anguished surprise.

“No,” Jason said tautly. Shame washed over him in sickening waves as he waited helplessly for her inevitable reaction to the stark evidence of his humiliation.
To his utter disbelief he felt her arms encircle him from behind and the touch of her lips on his back.

“How brave you must have been to endure this,” she whispered achingly, “how strong to survive it and go on living. . . .”
When she began kissing each scar, Jason rolled onto his side and jerked her into his arms.
“I love you,” he whispered agonizedly, plunging his hands into her luxuriant hair and turning her face up to his.
“I love you so much....”
― Judith McNaught, Once and Always

“.."So you know everything now."
Julian raised an eyebrow. "I can't believe that," he drawled. "There are no more secrets, no more illicit little plots percolating in your devious mind? You'll have to forgive me if I find that hard to credit, Violette."
"Oh, there's one more secret," she said dully. "But only one, and you might as well know it. I love you. I love you so much it hurts. And I'll never love anyone else in the same way"..."There ,now," she said. That's all of it. I've tricked you and I've used you. I've lied to you, and rearranged your life to suit my own purposes. I forced you to leave Spain, and I'm the illegitimate daughter of a Penhallan and a robber baron. But I love you with my heart and soul, and I'd give my last drop of blood if you ever needed it." ..."But of course you won't ever need it, so I'll go now. And you need never fear that our paths will cross again." Turning from him, she began to walk back across the sand.
"You omitted to mention puking all over my boots in that catalog of wrongs," Julian said.
..."I suppose you're entitled to that," she said. "Entitled to mock. Why should you believe in my love? Anyway, it's a poor thing. I know it can't excuse or make up what I've done to you."
"Dear God," he said. "I'm assuming this extraordinary show of humility was brought on by that drug Penhallan gave you. I trust it's effect isn't permanent."
..."Oh you despicable bastard! You are an unmitigated cur!" She swooped down, grabbed a handful of sand, and threw it at him. Darting sideways, she picked up the empty cognac bottle. It flew through the air and caught him a glancing blow on the shoulder...
... Diabillo ! Virago! Termagant!" Julian taunted, grinning as he ducked one of Gabriel's boots.
"Espadachin! Brute! Bully! Unchivalrous pig!" she hurled back..
...He'd fought the knowledge ..he'd been fighting it for weeks..and now he'd lost the battle. She was a lawless, manipulative, illegitimate half-breed, no possible wife for a St Simon, and he didn't give a damn.”

“It was fucking awful,” I profess, the words spilling out of me like I’m an overfull levee. Rogan’s quiet as he runs a hand soothingly down my back while holding me tightly to him. “I tried so hard to keep her away from him, to focus on me, but…”
“I know,” Rogan comforts, placing light kisses on the back of my hands. “Elon told me what happened. How you…” Emotion bleeds out of his words, and he pauses to try and rein it in. The vehemence leaking to me through the tether has me cracking my fingers so I can look at his face through them. “I fucked up so bad, Lennox. I thought I had to choose, that after everything Elon had been through, he needed to come first no matter what. I didn’t want to admit how I was feeling about you. If I did, it felt like I was betraying Elon. I mean, what kind of person finds happiness and hope when his brother is suffering?” he asks, anguish etched in his features.
He shakes his head, ashamed, an indignant scoff sneaking out of his full lips. “I didn’t want to make room for you,” he admits, bringing his hand to his chest and placing it over his heart. “I didn’t want to see that you’d already sunk inside of me so deeply that there wasn’t a me without you anymore. It was the wrong time, too fast, too uncertain, but there you were all the same,” he tells me, gesturing to his heart.
His last words coax a small smile to one corner of his mouth, but it’s gone in a blink.
“That night when you were torn away from me. It was like I was back in that room with my uncle as he tortured Elon and tried to steal his birthright. I lost it completely. I probably would have taken out half the order if Marx hadn’t been there to stop me. They brought that Saxon fucker in to search your room for who could have planted the trap, and it hit me like a punch to the gut. You were gone. You were gone, and you didn’t know how I felt. I never let you see what you were starting to mean to me.
“I knew wherever that portal was leading, it was going to be bad, and I hated myself for not giving you something to fight for, for failing to show you that we were worth fighting for. I’m never going to do that again, Lennox. Never.”
Slowly, he pulls my hands from my face, lifting up a corner of the quilt to wipe the tears and snot away.
“I love you, Lennox,” he tells me evenly with absolutely no hesitation. “I love you in the way that grows as we grow together. The kind of love worth fighting for, that has me waking up every day grateful and willing to do whatever it takes. I know what you did for Elon, because it’s the same thing you did for me. You’re the light in the darkness. The stars that guide you home when you’re lost. You carry the broken from battle and lift the drowning from the clawing cold that’s trying to claim them. You slay the demons.”
― Ivy Asher

“Logan. I wasn’t going to lose you, too. I am bound to you in so many ways. Not by words or writing, but by how I feel.”
― Terry Brooks, The Gypsy Morph

“What does this mean exactly?" he said.
"What does it mean? What does it mean?" She gazed at him in disbelief, then realized it wasn't a good idea to stare at him too long, because he had barely any clothes on, and she might be blushing, which was annoying.
"Yes, what does it mean he said?"
....She stomped towards him. She pointed to the lines above her signature. "There" She stabbed the paper with her finger. "How much plainer can I make it?"
"Love."
"Yes, I believe I mentioned that some time ago."
"But you hate me too."
"Not as much as I ought to. For heaven's sake Lucius. Must I draw pictures? How thick can a man be? No never mind. I know the answer to that.”
― Loretta Chase, Ten Things I Hate About the Duke

“I only meant, shall I go away or would you rather I didn't" Because, you see, you can be a trifle confusing sometimes. For a simple man. And I made up my mind I wouldn't give you any more cause to be unhappy. Or to despise yourself. I was going away to give you time without me here, looming over you constantly and trying to sweep you off your feet. And to give me time as well, to think...about my life. And also in the hopes that absence would make the heart grow fonder. Not my heart, because if it were any fonder it would explode or melt or disintegrate in some fashion.”
― Loretta Chase, Ten Things I Hate About the Duke

“Dimmi che resterai, Jillian. Non posso vivere senza di te".

"Ti amo" sussurrò "Sarò felice di tutto ciò che potrai darmi”
― Maya Banks, Duchess of My Heart

“He wanted her more than he'd wanted anything. And he knew that if - when? - he had her - gods, he couldn't think about being inside her without his body lurching to attention - he'd unleash the hunger that had slumbered in him for so long. She awoke all of it with an insistent ferocity that thrilled him with the anticipation of how he could please her. How he could tell her with his body everything he couldn't say out loud without making this impossible situation harder. She was the person he'd never expected to find. Not after centuries. Not after losing family so long ago that any kind of closeness with another had grown near impossible.
'Mo ghrá,' he murmured against her temple as she fell asleep.”
― Megan Scott, The Temptation of Magic

“I have no interest in any angel. Because the one I have eyes for is a girl, named Mahiru Shiina.”
― Saekisan, The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, Vol. 4

“My heart is going to collapse if I have to spend one more moment with Nathan while he pretends he likes me and I pretend I don’t love him. Because I do. I haven’t let myself admit it or even think it until now, but I can’t deny the emotions anymore. I love the way he accepts me for who I am, how loyal he is to his friends and the store and my dad, and that he came with me tonight despite his disdain for school functions because he wanted to make sure I was taken care of and happy. He‘s one of the best people I‘ve ever known. I want him to think the same of me. I want him to choose me over everyone and everything else because there’s nowhere he‘d rather be.”
― Kristy Boyce, Dungeons and Drama
