"Now, you've had your fun. Get your ass up here. Sit on my face, Harper."
"Excuse me?"
"I said, come and sit on my face and let me clean up my mess."
"Ace Sterling. I am not sitting on your face when you're in this condition."
"You're ridiculous,"
"Nah. I'm just hungry, sweetheart. Man needs a proper breakfast. Harper, baby. I said sit on my face. Not whatever this hoverin' shit is. Down. Smother me."

The doctor moves in, checking his pupils with a penlight. "Mr. Sterling, can you tell me where you are?" Ace squints at him and considers the question with the deep seriousness of a very drunk man. "Heaven," he says. Then frowns. "No. Wait. There's a doctor. Heaven wouldn't need doctors." He looks at me. "Am I dead, baby? You look like an angel. That's confusin' the hell outta me."

"My world revolves around you. It has since the first time you smiled at me. There isn't a version of me that doesn't love you. Not in the past. Not in the future. If there is one damn thing I'm certain of in this life, it's my love for you. So if you tell me the baby isn't mine, it changes nothing. Not a single thing. I'll love you the same. I'll love that baby the same. I'll be the man you both need me to be."

"I hate you. I am so horny right now, I can’t even see straight."
"No, you don't, baby. See you later."
"You're a dead man, Ace Sterling."
"Make sure I die with your pussy on my face."

"I was wrong. And I want to come home now. If you'll have me. Forever this time."
"Yes, Harper Jones, I'll marry you."
"I didn't..."
"I'm joking, darlin'. You coming home to me is the only dream I've held on to. It's all I want. You, Harper. You are all I'll ever want in this life. I will marry you, though, Harper. But I'm going to do it properly. The ring you've always dreamed of. That honeymoon to Venice."

"What shall we do now?"
"Wanna grab some dinner and lie in the back of my truck to watch the stars?"
"I'd love that."
"And fuck some more. Now I've started, I can't stop."
"Fucking all night sounds good."
“Harper. I’m not joking. My dick is going to want to live inside you from now on.”
“I can deal with that, Ace.”

"It's been a long time for me, Harper. Trust me, I won't be coming that quick all the time."
"How long? What do you mean?"
"There's been no one else."
"In six years? You've not had sex? Nothing?
"No, baby. Just me and my hand girlfriend. I don't need anyone else. It's you or no one. I came to terms with that."

ACE!!!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹

"We taste fuckin' perfect together," he mutters. "Please, Acey."
"Please what?"
"Fuck me. Fuck me like you forgive me, Ace." "That ain't what this is. I'll fuck you like I love you, Goldie. Ain't nothing to forgive. I loved you back then. I've loved you every day since. And I sure as hell love you now."
"Mine. Harper. Mine."
"Yes!"
"I ain't gonna last, baby. You're killin' me."

“You don’t love him. That means the war isn’t lost, Harper. I was talkin’ shit earlier. I didn’t mean what I said. Don’t walk away, not again. It means I ain’t giving up. I’ve waited six long years for you to come back to me, you think I’m going to let you walk out of my life again without trying?”
“You might be engaged to another man, but you will always belong to me, Harper Jones,” I growl.

"Either come back to me," I say. "Properly. Fully. No more secrets. Or let me go. Because this in-between is not love, Harper. It's a slow death. And I’m not sure I can keep dying for you."
