Extraits

“Seriously? You've never done this for your friends before?" Trent shrugs. He manages to stay straight-faced for another three seconds before a sly smile betrays him. "Yeah, tons of times. But I liked letting you feel me up." A loud chorus of snickers and laughter erupts. They all knew he was playing me. How did they all know and I have no clue? Probably because I'm too busy drooling over his body to notice his practiced movements.”

“Look at me, Kacey." I do. I look up and let myself sink into those blue eyes, so full of worry and pain and desire.

"I'll make you whole again, Kacey. I promise you, I will," he whispers. And then his mouth covers mine.”

“Our past isn’t who we are. I’m me and you’re you and that’s who we need to be.”

“Give me your heart, Kacey. I’ll take everything that comes with it.”

“He forces my head back as his tongue connects with mine, his mouth sweet and fresh. He’s strong, that much I can sense. If I wanted to, I don’t think I could fight him off. But I don’t want to. Not one bit.”

I mean, I could understand if he wasn’t real. Who could be that beautiful and sweet and perfect and want someone as fucked up as me?”

“I’d fix it all for you if I could. You know that, right?” He whispers. I wonder if he’s talking about my scars or the last four years of my life. “Yes,” is all I say. Yes to all of it.”

“Just breathe. Ten tiny breaths … Seize them. Feel them. Love them.”

Fais chier. Livie a raison. Je suis vraiment la reine des neiges...
