erotic-romance

Look at the huge success of Fifty Shades of Grey. The girl in the book lets a rich guy beat her and ritually rape her, and she likes it! She finds it erotic! But imagine if Christian Grey wasn't a billionaire. Imagine if he lived in a dirty old trailer down by the river. Then that story wouldn't be a sexy romance novel, but an episode of CSI.

She felt the cold blast from the sterile air conditioning on her bare arms and thighs, as she ambled down the center of the shopping complex's ground floor.The scene was a swirl of candy bright lights--the Victoria's Secret fuchsia signboard, signboards which lured one to purchase "confidence," or "sexual appeal," or whatever it was that was being advertised--the fluorescent lights in each store, contrasting with the shiny, black-tiled walls and eye-catching speckled marble tiles on the ground.One could lick the floor--the tiles were spotless, clean like the fake air she was breathing in, like the atoms and cells in her that were decaying in stale neglect.

No one else sees you as the villain here, but you gotta stop being a victim babe.

Everyone is effed up, Dalton. At some point, you just have to find someone to share the baggage with.

KYLE: ... no way in h*ll he__ getting away with short changing you.__ERRYANNE: But like you said, I don__ need it so why?KYLE: Because it__ rightfully yours sweetheart.

Want and need are not the same things either. A want can be foregone. It is voluntary, a nice-to-have. A need is required, a necessity. If he needed me, I__ be essential for his success, for his happiness.

...it__ not him that you__e still pining after, it__ the lost time. You__e mourning what should__e been more so than what really was. You feel robbed as well you should, but not for the right reasons.

....what I__ really saying is that you knew, somewhere deep inside you knew that he wasn__ the one for you. I__e always wondered with people who get divorced if the wronged party hadn__ seen it coming.

Tobias: No one ever said this would be easy, and you don__ seem like the type of woman to take the easy way out.

Link had to make the decision to save himself.

He was so glad he didn__ go through with his plan to end himself. What an idiot. Look at how much he would__e missed if he__ followed through.

CANDY: I learned long ago not to give a flying f*ck what strangers thought about me. H*ll, I only mildly care what my friends think. Life is too short to stress others_ opinions.

LEXI: I__ settled for this awful existence because I__ convinced myself it was better than being alone....But it__ not.

CLOVER: I take hold of my daughter, knowing her life may be complicated, not seem fair, and often a cruel joke.I can__ protect her from self-doubt and denial, things all of us inevitably face one way or another___ut I can make sure she knows her father and I think we__e the luckiest people in the world to have her.And I think that might be enough.In fact, I think that might be everything.

....if you wanted something enough, you__ be willing to stand and fight for it, even if you got beat down.

It didn__ matter that she didn__ live here, that a relationship was out of the question. It was probably because a relationship wouldn__ happen that he could let himself get this close. He wrapped his arms tighter around her as though this were all that existed in the world. Just the two of them, the mountain, the clean winter air. The taste of her tongue on his lips.

Remind me who you are,_ he said in a gentler tone, almost a please. __ow we know each other.___kay,_ she began. ____ Savannah Evans, a grad student and teaching assistant who teaches English at a college in Cambridge. I applied to the colony to work on my poetry and arrived six weeks ago. __e__e spoken many times. You__e praised my work, which I find a great honor as I__ a fan of your art.

What kind of slut do you think I am?__heo bumped his hips against hers. __his might not be the best moment to ask me that.
