“He sat up straight, eyes wide, and touched the tip of his index finger to his cheek. "What was that?"
I blushed. "A kiss."
"That's what a kiss feels like?"
"Well, technically. There are a lot of different types of—"
"Show me."
"Show you what?"
"Show me some other kinds."
"You're asking me to kiss you?"
(Dez and Kale)”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“As long as I know this" - he lifted our joined hands - "is mine to hold, I'll wait for you forever.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“Current relationship status?” Her voice cut like an arctic chill blowing through the room.
“If you mean me, then you’re not my type. If you mean my dad, he’s single, but I don’t think you’re his type either,” I said with a small smile. Mercy didn’t find it amusing. A small blue vein in her forehead started throbbing like crazy....“Actually, come to think of it, I don’t think he has a type. I’ve never seen him with a woman.
Mercy, I hate to break it to you, but there’s a very real possibility my dad is gay.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“If I had the ability to touch anyone else in this world, I still don't believe I'd want it to be anyone but you.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“I backed us up against the wall. “How I feel? You want to know?” I ran my hands over his face and tangled them into his messy hair. “This is unlike anything else. I’ve bungeed off buildings, I’ve skateboarded off roofs. I’ve even gone train surfing. Nothing comes close to the high I feel when I’m with you. You’ve been through horrible things, and yet you’re one of the kindest, truest people I’ve ever met. At first I thought it was because you were
safe. I could feel something for you because you couldn’t hurt me. Not the way Alex did. But it’s more than that. It’s you. Who you are. The way you are. Everything from your smile to the way you always say exactly what’s on your mind. Your soul, Kale.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“I love you," he said. [...] "Just you. Only you. Always you.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“Things had gone from really weird to I-fell-down-the-rabbit-hole surreal.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“For me," he said. It came out as a cross between a choked growl and a whimpher. It was shocked, and it was possessive. Full of pain, and laced with joy. "You were made for me.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“That was your past. I am your future.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“I'm never going to get used to that," he said, smiling.
"Used to what?"
"The way I feel like I'm going to explode every time you come close. The way my head fills up with just you when you do that.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“„One down,” I said, turning to Kale. He wasn't paying attention. His gaze was fixed on the red silk baby doll in my hand.
„What is this?” he asked, rubbing the satiny material between his fingers.
„Clothes” I said. „For women.”
His eyes widened. „Girls wear this?”
„Yeah, but usually not for long” I chuckled.
Kale turned as red as the teddy. „Are you going to wear this now?”
„Umm. No,” I said, blushing.
He seemed a little disappointed and I stifled a laugh.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“All these places I want to go don't exist without you. All my goals come from one place. You. You are my biggest goal. That's not wrong, is it?”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“I think I understand that now. I think I love you.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“Wow!" Fin let out a sharp whistle. "You look hot, Dez. You can raid my tomb whenever you'd like.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“As I walked away, I heard Kale tell Fin to stop staring at my ass or he was going to punish him. I couldn’t help but smile.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“My jaw dropped. Forget balls, this guy had boulders.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“Dad would be home soon. This might work to my advantage. I knew bringing the guy home would royally piss him off. He’d have puppies if he found a stranger in the house. Hell, he might even have a llama.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“„I understand now, Dez,” his whispered sleepily. „I understand the hand thing.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“I wondered what the FML post would look like.
"Today, when my father tried to shoot me, I found out he was an assassin monger who's been keeping my mom locked away in a secret facility for freaky killers. FML."
Seriously. F.M.L.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“„This is what people do here?”
„It's a little more complicated than that.”
„Everything seems complicated here,” he grumbled.
„That"s life,” I laughed. „Life is complicated.”
„And that's good?”
I nodded. „That's good.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“I was worried about you. Wanted to make sure you were okay.” “Next time, use the phone. Or email. Hell, use a carrier pigeon.”
― Jus Accardo, quote from Touch
“Why does my heart pump faster when we’re close? How is it you do that to me?”

Feral SinsBookQuoters 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.
