“I sometimes thought that our fast friendship had been kind of like joining a club, one made up of men that thought that Bianca Karlsson was the most perfect woman on the planet.”

“I’m in trouble with this one, I thought. For the first time in my life, I had the thought that I was in over my head with a woman.”

“I want you to feel what I’m feeling, Bianca. I want you to feel this uncontrollable need. I can’t stand the thought that you’re indifferent to me.”

“You’re the most gorgeous creature on the planet. How do you not know that you’ve completely ruined me for other men?”

“I want you to be mine, Bianca. Will you be my submissive?”

“If you are having trouble understanding, let me spell it out for you … This is serious, Bianca. I’ve never been more fucking serious in my life.”

“I can’t change my past, Bianca. All I can do is be honest with you, and I’ve done my best.”
