“I’m offering you my pain. My blood. My pleasure. I’m offering you the right to whip and fuck. To debase and harm. I’m offering to fight your needs with my own. I’m willing to join you in the darkness and find pleasure in excruciating pain. I’m willing to be your monster, Q.”
― Pepper Winters, Tears of Tess

“I had no fucking life before you. You are my life. Without you, I might as well take a shotgun to my head and join you in the dirt because, Tess, if you leave me—if you’re so fucking weak not to fight, then that is what will happen to me. You’ll crucify me.”
― Pepper Winters, Quintessentially Q

“You Stole my loneliness. I may have given you wings, but you've become my gravity. I'll never be free of your force.”
― Pepper Winters, Tears of Tess
