I wasn’t exactly good with children. I wasn’t bad with them, as such. I just wasn’t around them much and, because of that, when I was, they freaked me out because I didn’t know what...

I’m dead! Fuck, they killed me!

Bard eyed him like he was manure on her shoes at the same time she did things, like sharpen a wooden stake, something she knew didn’t work on him, but that was not her point,...

With women, it’s about the slow soak, babe. Assholes pour shit on the surface and women keep goin’ not even knowin’ that shit is soakin’ in. Then one day, out of fuckin’ nowhere, that acid...

Finally, realization dawned.I belonged to Luke. I was Luke’s woman.Hell, I had probably been born to be Luke’s woman (if you believed that kind of shit).

I’m with him because when I’m with him, I’m free to be me. I’m with him because he’s hot. I’m with him because he lets me blather, since I’m prone to blathering, and he lets...

Most men prefer to do the eating.”Holy fucking cow.

Friends fit in your life, Benji added. They don’t take away from you living it

First fuckin’ time you smiled at me in my bed, that’s when it happened,” he murmured.

Woman. Buckle
