“But I didn't think I'd ever wanted her more than in that moment when I was witnessing her put herself back together.”

“I just want to see you come apart."I wanted to tell her that she was witnessing it now, and in all honesty she'd been watching it happen for weeks.”

“But I'd be a silent panty ripper, which I think is a lot creepier than the angry-boss panty ripper.”

“I told you, I want more than this. I want to be with you. I want to be your lover." I swore, digging my hands into my hair. "I'm falling for you, Chloe.”

“I wanted her in a way that made me feel like every second I was sated and starving.”

“If a woman wanted a man to think of her constantly, she should tell him he could only have her once a wee and bam - concentration blown.”

“So here were the facts: I felt possessive of her. Not in a romantic sort of way, but in a "hit her over the head, drag her off by the hair, and fuck her" way. Like she was my toy and I was keeping the other boys in the sandbox from playing with her. How sick was that? If she ever heard me admit to that, she would cut off my balls and feed them to me.”
