“I call you sunshine,' he whispers and brushes his knuckles down my face, 'because when you smile, you light me up inside.”
“You. Are. So. Amazing.” His soft lips brush over mine, back and forth, over and over again as he begins to move inside me. “Rock with me, baby.”
“Oh, sunshine,' I whisper and smile gently. 'Haven't you figured out that I'm completely in love with you?”
“You make me forget how to breathe.”
“Don’t cry,” he whispers. “Just let me do what I do best, baby. Let me take care of you.” “It’s hard for me to let people in, Leo.” “I’m already in,” he reminds me. “And I’m not going anywhere.”
“I’m afraid to fall.”
“I’ll catch you, baby.”
“Leo?”
“Yeah, sunshine.”
“So not a one night thing,” I whisper.
He chuckles softly and drapes an arm around me, pulling me closer to him.
“I’m glad you’re catching up.”
“I’m completely in love with her. I just don’t know how to tell her because I’m afraid that as soon as I do, she’ll run at full speed in the other direction.”
“-It's a date.
-Good. And baby ?
-Yeah ?
-You're not sleeping alone tonight.”
“You are everything I've ever wanted, Sam. More than music. More than anything.”
“What was that?” she whispers.
“If you have to ask, I didn’t do it right.”
“I don’t ever want you to run until your legs give out on you like this gain. The only time your legs will shake like this is if I’m inside you.”
“As long as I’m in the picture.”
“Leo, you are the picture.”
“I’ll take you hard, and soft, and every way in between.” He grips my face in his hands and looks down at me, his nose touching mine. “I’m going to fuck the shit out of you.”
Oh God, yes!
“And I’m going to make love to you until you’re shaking and don’t remember who you are.”
“I know you’re strong and independent and I respect that, but this is who I am, Sam. I take care of what is mine. You’re mine.”
…
“Let me do what I do best, baby. Let me take care of you”
“It’s hard for me to let people in, Leo.”
“I’m already in,” he reminds me. “And I’m not going anywhere.”
“If you’re going to touch my wife, you’d better put a shirt on. Dude, what the fuck are you doing with my sister?”
“Samantha, I’m not going to make love to you tonight. But I’m going to kiss the fuck out of you.”
“I don’t want to move in on another guys territory, and I don’t share.”
Wow.
“I’m single.” I frown again. “But we aren’t…”
“Oh, I think we are,” he interrupts, his gaze challenging me. He grips my ass harder and stands, easily pulling me to my feet. “I can’t let go of you,” he whispers.”
“Maybe I’m turning into a pussy in my old age. The kicker? I don’t give a shit.”
“Now you’ve fucked a rock star. How do you feel?”
“Like everyone else you fuck. Used and ready for you to leave”
“Stars are better off without us.”
“Advantages must be seized or lost. I always choose to seize them.

“Virtually all political discourse in the days of my youth was devoted to the ferreting out of hypocrisy... Because they were hypocrites, the Victorians were despised in the late twentieth century. Many of the persons who held such opinions were, of course, guilty of the most nefarious conduct themselves, and yet saw no paradox in holding such views because they were not hypocrites themselves-they took no moral stances and lived by none.”
“Yeah. I do, Syd. I give a shit about you.”
“Imagination, she figured, just wasn’t up to the task of understanding unique and foreign sensations. It knew only how to dampen or augment what it already knew. It would be like telling someone what sex felt like, or an orgasm. Impossible. But once you felt it yourself, you could then imagine varying degrees of this new sensation.”
BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
