"'I want all of it, Ninja.' His voice was low and sexy." (203/213) I know, I KNOW that low here is meant to be in pitch, not volume. But. My brain. Just imagining this as barely audible

"'I knew what I wanted.' His voice was raw. 'It was you I wasn't sure of. I wasn't sure you knew what you wanted and then you started giving up things for me and that made my decision.'
'What about my decision?' Anger flickered. 'You could have said all this and I could have told you what I thought.'" (201-202/213) true

"'It reminds me of Nico's apartment.'
'Nico?' His voice was a little cooler and I smiled. I still had my back to him, so I thought the smile was between me and the window but it turned out I wasn't as clever as I thought, because he was standing behind me and the window acted like a mirror." (130/213) bahaha so smooth

"'She dates men she can never, ever fall in love with, which basically means she has a boring sex life ... Do you know what I bought her last year for her birthday? A vibrator! And batteries are fucking expensive! And it's your fault.'
Hunter blinked. 'It's my fault batteries are expensive?'
'It's your fault that she gets through so many. You are responsible for that, Hunter Black. You and no one else.'" (66/213)

"I heard the man at the next table cough and I turned my head sharply, but he was leaning toward his companion, attentive. I wondered if he was telling her she should join a book group." (21/213)

"'Secondly, your manhood should not be threatened by who you date.

'That's easy for you to say.' His desperation was coloured by a hint of sulk. 'We both know that if we were attacked, you'd be the one defending me, not the other way round. How is that supposed to make me feel?'

'Er...relieved?'" (20-21/213)

"'What's wrong with my interests?'

'Oh, come on!' His expression said it should have been obvious. 'You're a girl and you like fighting. How do you think that makes me feel?' He glanced quickly to the left to check no one was listening, as if simply being seen with someone like me might be enough to knock lumps off his manhood." (16/213)

"I stared, fascinated, envious, as the guy threw a bunch of notes on the table without counting them. So cool. I've only ever seen that happen in the movies. If I'd tried the same thing I would have showered the table with receipts, expired discount vouchers, chocolate wrappers and a ton of other crap that somehow finds its way into my purse." (5-6%) so true
