“He is without a doubt the most beautiful man on the planet, too beautiful for the little people below, too beautiful for me.”

“My stomach somersaults -- he wants me... in a weird way, true, but this beautiful, strange, kinky man wants me.”

“My memories of him did not do him justice. He's not merely good looking... he's the epitome of male beauty, breathtaking.”

“I hug him tightly. “I can’t imagine my life without you, Christian. I love you so much it frightens me.” “Me, too,” he breathes. “My life would be empty without you. I love you so much.”

“I need you, Anastasia," he whispers."I need you, too." And as I say the words, I am struck how true they are. I cannot imagine being without Christian, ever."Let me love you." he says hoarsely."Yes," I answer.”

“Why, oh why have I fallen for someone who is plain crazy—beautiful, sexy as fuck, richer than Croesus, and crazy with a capital K?”

“My world was ordered, calm, and controlled, then you came into my life with your smart mouth, your innocence, your beauty, and your quiet temerity ...and everything before you was just dull, empty, mediocre ...it was nothing.”
