“I don't think you comprehend the depth of my feeling for you. It goes beyond wanting to be near you, or protect you. I want you to be happy, and I want you to be treated with respect.”

“You are my sticky little leaf. My beautiful, sad, sticky little leaf, and I want to see you happy and whole.”

“I want to make love to you because I care about you. I want to worship your naked body with my own and learn all of your secrets. I want to please you, not for minutes, but for hours and even days. I want to see you arch your back in ecstasy and look into your eyes when I make you come.”

“I want to be your first and your last. I love you, Julianne. I offer you my heart and my life.”

“You could have any woman you want, Gabriel.”He furrowed his eyebrows. “I only want you.”

“I'm sorry you don't want to know me anymore. I will spend the rest of my life regretting the fact that I wasted my second chance to know you. And I will always be conscious of your absence."- Gabriel to Julia.”

“After all we've shared, I just want to hold you and be close. Rest in my arms and know that I love you.”
