There's a difference between regret and questioning your decision. Regret is counterproductive. It's looking back on a past that you can't change. Questioning things as they occur can prevent regret in the future.

Ugh! I absolutely hate lust. Hate. It. Every fiber of my being knows he__ not a good person, yet my body doesn't seem to give a shit at all.

I enjoy reading books like that because it__ not at all the life I lead. It__ completely different than any situation I__l ever be in, thank God. But I get entertainment out of it. Because as much as I like to read about a guy telling a girl she__ so, so wet for him...if anyone ever said that to me during sex, I wouldn__ be turned on by it. I would be terrified I accidentally peed on myself.'Ben laughs. 'And if you and I were having sex and you told me you owned me, I would literally crawl out from under you, put on my clothes, walk out of your house, and go puke in your front yard.

This isn't my excuse, this is my reality.

I don't want you to change, Bridgette. I'm not in love with who you could be, or who you used to be, or who the world says you should be. I'm in love with you. Right now. Just like this.

She's lost in thought. I'm lost in her.

Do we all repeat the same words in our heads in the days after experiencing abuse at the hands of those who love us? "From this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part."Maybe those vows weren't meant to be taken as literally as some spouses take them. For better, for worse?Fuck. That. Shit.

Shouldn't there be more distaste in our mouths for the abusers than for those who continue to love the abusers?

How could she love him after what he did to her? How could she contemplate taking him back?_ It__ sad that those are the first thoughts that run through our minds when someone is abused. Shouldn__ there be more distaste in our mouths for the abusers than for those who continue to love the abusers?

Only one day at public school and the bitches already made your locker rain?" she laughs. "Impressive.

You told me once that too much good in a person's life will stunt their growth. You said pain is necessary, because in order for a person to succeed, they must first learn to conquer adversity. And that's what you do... you deliver adversity where you see fit.

Loving someone doesn't just include that person, Ben. Loving someone means accepting all the things and people that person loves, too. And I will. I do. I promise.

Les, I want to kiss her so fucking bad, but I'm too scared. I'm scared if I kiss her too soon, it'll feel like every other kiss she's ever received. She'll feel nothing. I don't want her to feel nothing when I kiss her. I want her to feel everything.

His mouth, coupled with the way his hand is sliding down my arm, is all too much. So much. Good much. So good. I just whimpered.

Fallon, I__ worked up so damn tight. I__ going to kiss you now and I__ not sorry.

It´s been over two years since someone else´s tongue has been inside my mouth, so I would assume I´d be a little more hesitant than I am. But the second he slides it against my lips, I immediately part them and welcome the warmth of a much deeper kiss.

He kisses me like he's giving me every kiss he wishes he could have given me the past, and every kiss he'll wish he could give me in the future.All at once.
