“You can't create experience, you undergo it.”
― Albert Camus

“Kiss me"
“You’re a fucking nightmare.”
“Kiss me.”
“You’re ruining my life.”
“Kiss me, Jethro. Kiss me.”
― Pepper Winters, First Debt

“What are you feeling right now?" he asks softly.
My breathing escalates. "Confined."
"Trapped?" he volleys back. My mouth tightens because while a part of me wants to say yes, the truth is that I don't.
I feel... safe.
Protected.
Treasured.
"One day, you will realize that you are not trapped in a prison," he murmurs roughly. "You are in my church where I am your God, and you are my equal. I'm not a jail, little mouse, I am your sanctuary.”
― H.D. Carlton, Haunting Adeline

“Are you sleeping with anyone?”

The question was asked so casually it took a second to process what he’d said.

I inhaled sharply. “Why is that any business of yours?”

He looked at me and I saw what I’d seen the first time we’d met—tremendous power and steely control. Both of which had me taking an involuntary step back. Again. At least I didn’t fall this time; I was making progress.

“Because I want to fuck you, Eva. I need to know what’s standing in my way, if anything.”
