I'm not trying to change you, Maggie. I'm trying to love you.
Lexi RyanLet me break down these walls you keep hiding behind.
Lexi RyanWhy do you care so much?"
"Why are you still hiding from me?
Don't be affraid to break, Maggie. Stop holding on to the ugliness just to stay whole.
Lexi RyanWhy me, Asher?"
"Sweetheart, when you know the answer to that question, we won't be talking anymore."
"You'll be gone?"
"I'll be inside you.
Come back and break me, don't let this go unspoken. I'm numb when I'm whole and you left me unbroken.
Lexi RyanYou're not the only one who's made mistakes. I have too. But I believe we're more than the sum of our mistakes. I didn't used to. I thought I was a piece of shit. I thought I was nothing.

You’re staring at me,” I protest between bites of crawfish etouffee.
Asher lifts a shoulder. “Just watching in case you get foodgasmic again.”
I hum as I swallow a particularly decadent bite. “I’m close. You like to watch, huh?”
His pupils dilate and his jaw goes a little slack as his gaze drops to my mouth. Just like that, we’re not talking about food anymore. Maybe we never were.
You know how much you can hurt a girl’s ego by turning her down when she’s stripped in front of you?” I put my hand to my chest. “I’ll probably be in counseling for months to repair the damage.”
“Somehow I think you can handle it.”
“Games,” I mutter. “Emotionally speaking, I’m going to be the man in this relationship, aren’t I?”
“You certainly aren’t like any woman I’ve ever met before.
