“How was I in control when he pinned me down?
“You set the limits; you choose the pace. You say go, we go. You say stop, we stop. You submit because you want to, because you trust me to take care of you and not to take advantage. It’s not something I force or take from you, it’s something you offer.” He pecked the pads of each of my fingers. “You offer me control, trusting me not to exploit your vulnerability, and I accept the responsibility of caring for you, your body, and your pleasure, and trust you to be honest with me about your needs and boundaries.”
― Nikole Knight, Betrayal

“He was beautiful and hopeful and hesitant, a heartbreaker who wore his heart on his sleeve.”
― Cassandra Clare, The Bane Chronicles

“My name’s Oliver. Though if you want to call me Pretty Eyes Park again, I promise I’ll still come running.”
― Charlie Adhara, The Wolf at the Door

“Jai loved me like a wildfire. Raging. Hot. All-consuming. Noel loved me like a river. Overwhelming. All-encompassing. Healing. But Gideon—oh, the way he loved me. He loved me like an earthquake. It was slow and deep, miles below the surface. It rumbled and rolled. It shook me to my very core, the very makeup of my being shifting as his white fire surrounded my center.”
― Nikole Knight, Elysium
