“I never told anyone about waking in the night to him standing over me with a knife. It was small, one of my switchblades, chosen for carving.

His seeping dick twitched as he bent toward me, his slick left hand went down on my sternum, the other holding the knife like a scapel.

"What're you gonna do?" I asked, reaching for him, my fingers closing around his hard, wet length.

"Carve my name on your skin so everyone knows you're mine.”
― Mary Calmes, Mine

“Why’d you want to have sex with me? To have a f*cking adventure? What was I supposed to be? Your one-night-f*cking stand? I’m every woman’s adventure, damn you, and I don’t want to be yours. I want to be your f*cking REAL. You get that? If I f*ck you, I want you to belong to me. To be mine. I want you to give yourself to me—not Riptide!”
― Katy Evans, Real

“Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.”
