“Just tell me one thing before you leave, Ava.” His voice prickles at my senses… His face is serious, but still stunning. “How loud do you think you’ll scream when I fuck you?”
“God!” I scream.
“No, baby, that’s me”
“I want to look after you forever.” He whispers, pressing his lips against my temple.”
“Ava, you should know that once I’ve had you, you’re mine.”
“Ava, the sexual tension batting between you and that man was so fucking super charged, even I was horny!”
“I don't want to be pencilled in anywhere, pencil can be erased.”
“I’m going to get lost in you.”
“No!” I push him away from me. “You’re not manipulating me with your delicious Godliness!”
He grins that roguish grin. “You think I’m a God?”
I huff, turning back to the mirror. His head is expanding at a rate so fast, I might be forced to jump out the bathroom window before I’m squashed against a wall.”
“There's only one thing in the world that turns me on. And I love her in lace.”
“The sex is just sex. I can't get close enough to you. The control is because I'm frightened to death that something will happen to you...that you'll be taken away from me. I've waited too long for you, Ava. I'll do anything to keep you safe. I've lived a life with little control or care. Believe me, I need you..please...please don't leave me.”
“Everything is so much more bearable with you around, Ava.”
“You're painfully beautiful and all mine. Kiss me.”
“Alcohol makes for loose lips and loose lips sink ships.”
“You’ll always need me, Ava. I’m going to make sure of it. Now, let’s see if we can fuck some sense into you.”
“I need to have all of you, Ava. Say I can have all of you.”
…
“Take me.” I say quietly against his lips.’
“Oh, I will.”
“No, it's the way he looks at you, like you're the centre of his universe.”
“If we were alone, you would be against that wall and I would be fucking you stupid.”
“He shakes his head. ‘You’re different. I told you, Ava, I’ll trample anyone who tries to get in my way. Even you.”
“Watch your mouth,’ he cautions me. ‘I’ve told you before, Ava. I’ll do whatever it takes.’
‘For what?’ My voice is barely a whisper.
‘To keep you”
“I’m suddenly catapulted to Central Jesse Cloud Nine.”
“Ava, when a man gets a calculator out at the end of a meal to work out what you owe. It's usually not a good sign.”
“I want to stay stuck to you.”
“Leave out what you expected and tell me what you got.”
“Veronica ran out to tell Amber the shocking news - and returned in less than a minute with another message for Yo-Yoji: "Amber says she was watching and she knows you got in detention on purpose," she said breathlessly. "Because you have a crush on Cass!"
Cass's ears instantly turned red.
Max-Ernest looked like he'd been hit by a truck.”
“The Bishop goes on to the human eye, asking rhetorically, and with the implication that there is no answer, 'How could an organ so complex evolve?' This is not an argument, it is simply an affirmation of incredulity.”
“My love is unique an none can rival her. Just by passing, she has already stolen away my heart.”
“What art thou Faustus, but a man condemned to die?”
“If you get yourself killed, I'll find your grave and spit on it," she threatened.
"Then I'll take every care."
"You promise me?"
"I promise you.”
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.
