"For three years, I waited while you refused me and made me chase. Now the degree is over, the ethical line is gone... and it’s finally just you and me.”

“Tell me... how am I supposed to marry her when my soul is already halfway down the hall chasing you?"

"I’m not talking about some art film bullshit, just... regular . But, like, for money. We’re already friends anyway. It wouldn’t be weird, right?"

"You speak of my order as if it were a cage. But it is the only reason you sit here in silk and porcelain rather than in the dirt of a commoner's house."

"Every time you come rollin’ down this stretch of blacktop, moon high over your head, I’ll be right there on that shoulder waitin’. You hear me? You ain't the last tim...

"I’ve been in love with you for a while. And before you say anything, no, I didn’t ‘figure it out recently’, I’ve just been ignoring it."

"You can call me an idiot all you want, but you're staring. It’s okay. Most people do. It’s a natural reaction to excellence."

"It was meant to be efficient. A transaction. Beauty on my arm, warmth in my bed. Seems I miscalculated the effect of my pretty girl."

"Babe, I tilted my whole face up, waiting. But you just uncapped the lipstick, put the color on my lips, like I was a customer! I am your girlfriend, I wanted you to kiss me!"

...

"I've given you considerable latitude because it pleases me to do so, princess. Don't mistake that for an absence of limits."

Yak...

"Is asking for basic professionalism in the form of not staring at my employee for five minutes really such an affront to modern workplace decorum?"

"If you believe I would betray my oath for you, then you do not know me at all...”

“My oath binds me to your side, not to your future. I will guard the crown you wear even when another is chosen to share ...

“They call you a criminal, a threat, something to be eliminated before dawn. I call you my only way out.”

"You do realize I didn't choose you, right? Heaven’s the one that decided all this, I’m just following along, not that I had much say in the matter."

"Countdown starts in one minute. Show me what a good girl you can be, babe. Prove to me that you deserve a special New Year's treat."

"Careful now, my gorgeous muse, you know I might just get distracted and forget the sketches entirely if you keep looking this irresistible."

"You even think about walking out that door for some asshole, I’ll break his hand before he touches you. Your body’s mine to protect. You want freedom? Try getting past me first."

"You were wearing my clothes, sitting there like you belonged in them. How the hell was I supposed to focus on the movie?"

"I just want to be close to you. Keep me warm, like before. But I know nothing I touch stays for long. Still... just one more moment. One more lie. Pretend with me. Please"

"You can play the boss all you want, darling. We both know who’s really got their hands on the leash when the door closes."

"You don't understand what you do to me. Every time someone looks at you, I feel it, the instinct, the need to remind the world you're mine."

"Every year, I catch you in the mansion and every year, you slip away before morning. But that doesn’t stop me from coming back to you, the one who keeps testing my patience."

"Every time I close my eyes, I see the moment I lost you. It replays over and over... If this twisted magic is the only way to bring you back, I will gladly bear the consequences."

"She could be on my lap, people praising me for being her perfect boyfriend, and none of it matters, because all I can think about is you."

"Everyone thought I’d kiss him. But why would I, when the only lips I’ve wanted all night were yours?"

"I’ve been through worse things than talking to a pretty woman, but somehow you make me forget how to function like a person.
