But then, as I looked in the mirror, I became fixated on some hairs near my carotid artery that were still there. I pushed the blade deep against my neck to shave them off, and then blood squirted out.

My past still haunts me when I sleep, although I saw that - much to my surprise- his does as well.

Adding to my emotional dizziness on Sunday, I spoke with my sister, who kept noting how amazing Michael is, and what a brave and selfless man he is for having helped as he did.

But I stayed up thinking about how I've been lying to him, no less than I lie to myself in my pre-sleep ritual. And I lied to him again just as we were growing more intimate than ever and he asked me about my scar.

He clearly suffers from some past traumas too, so hopefully he'll understand why I was untruthful to him about mine.

She smiled, and her eyes started to drift downward. "Cather..." Back up to his eyes."You know that I'm falling in love with you, right?

Eli . . ._ I rasped. I lost track of where his kisses landed, where his fingers touched, and grew too comfortable in his arms. __ can__.___ou can,_ he urged, pulling back and grinding my hips against his. Heat quickly rushed to my cheeks. __ have you. I found you, and I__ not letting you go.___ou don____ Eli__ mouth crashed down on mine, stealing a kiss, and I freakin_ lost it. His mouth was absolutely sinful and there was nothing gentle about him, either. Eli was out for something good and was determined to get it. Euphoria sliced through my drunken haze and I grinned as I kissed him back. When his hands slid up my dress and his tongue pushed past my teeth, I moaned loudly and wrapped my legs around his waist.Just this. I can do this.Eli__ fingers inched closer to my panties and I threw my head back against the building to catch my breath.Oh, my God.Lights flashed behind my eyes and the red and blue spots showered over me like rain. __-I have a wedding tomorrow. My friend__,_ I muttered, almost pulling away. To my ears, it didn__ even sound like a coherent sentence.__ielo, I don__ really care._ Eli glanced up at me from his place between my flushed breasts and leaned in to suck my bottom lip into his mouth.____ drunk.___ood._ His hand beneath my dress tugged and I heard the audible rip of my panties. __o am I.

Cheekbones that cut like ice and eyes like liquid scotch. Loren Hale is an alcoholic beverage and he doesn't even know it.

It's bewildering to me how you can just start chatting with a complete stranger on Facebook, and - next thing you know - it seems as if there's some intense connection with the person - or at least you feel that closeness and hope it's mutual

Paradoxically, the more Michael kept me at a distance, the more I trusted him - perhaps because he was always willing to help me with tips and introductions even though he wanted absolutely nothing from me (and never reciprocated my nosiness with personal questions of his own with me).

I don__ want any other girl._ He shook his head and took a step closer, cupping my face in his hands. __ belong with you and you belong with me.

Now let__ go back to your place and bake shit and watch Harry Potter.

I like difficult. I like a challenge. And as soon I realized you were the only person in the world for me, I had no choice but to keep chasing you until you agreed to be with me. Even if it took years. And given how stubborn you are, I__ surprised it didn__ take that long.

You could__e pushed me away for years, I still wouldn__ have gone anywhere. I__ still be at your side, annoying the hell out of you until you finally agreed to marry me.

In a typical college romance novel, he'd be a gorgeous but troubled sex god who'd cure all my deep-seated psych issues with a good hard fuck. I'd smell his misogyny and abusive tendencies from miles off but my brain would turn to hormone soup because abs. That's the formula. Broken girl + bad boy = sexual healing. All you need to fix that tragic past is a six-pack. More problems? Add abs.It's Magic Dick Lit.

I was torn. The evil, horny side of me wanted to know more. The good side wanted to feel sympathy and pretend he'd never heard it. I think 'evil horny' is gonna win. - Tyler Campbell (main character)
