“She’s nice as hell, but I swear, I’m going to strangle the cat if I find it,” Steven said, sitting down across from me. I held up my hands, palms out, and smirked at him. “Come on, brother. You’re really going to kill that nice old lady’s cat just because she’s annoying?” “Fine,” he said. “I’m going to kill that cat’s whole family. Just to send a message.” “What’s the message?” His eyes stared into mine. “Cats better not fuck with me.”

“I’m not taking orders from you,” she said. “You’d have more fun if you did.” ― B.B. Hamel, Protected by the Monster
“He’s here,” he said, his voice flat. “Best behavior.” “Best behavior? I’m not some teenager you get to order around.” He glanced back at me, his face slack and tired. “Then stop acting like one,” he said. “And start seeing the world for what it is, Clair.” ― B.B. Hamel, Protected by the Monster
“Productive morning." "I figured I'd let you sleep." "Thanks." "No problem. You looked like such an angel sleeping soundly." "Creep. Don't watch me sleep." "Hard not to when you're snoring so loudly." I laughed. "I thought I was an angel." I paused, frowning. "Do I really snore?" "Like a lawn mower."-Lacey & Camden” ― B.B. Hamel, Cocked
“Multiple sclerosis is a hell of a disease. It affects everyone differently. Some people get it late in life, or at least are diagnosed late, and they go from walking and healthy to wheelchair bound and dying over the course of months. Some people, like my mom, get diagnosed sooner, or get a lucky form of the disease, and can go years without showing any outward signs. But the symptoms were always there, just subtle. She’d tire easily, she’d go to the bathroom constantly, she’d complain of headaches, her eyesight would get blurry.” ― B.B. Hamel, His Taste Box Set
“All my life’s been one long, empty struggle. I never did anything that felt good. I never had anything worth fighting for.” ― B. B. Hamel, Crown of Bliss
“I was drawn to him inexplicably, like a planet pulled towards a star.” ― B.B. Hamel
“Maybe pleasure’s everything.” ― B. B. Hamel, Crown of Bliss
“Why do my legs hurt from driving?" I said out loud. "I don't know. Mine are sore too." "That's from running around my mind all day." "Good one."-Camden & Lacey” ― B.B. Hamel , Cocked
“Why do you care so much about these bastards?” he asked. “It’s the principle,” I said, my voice soft, a whisper. “I’ll kill a hundred more of them if it means I can make sure you’re okay,” he said. “Does that make me evil?” “I don’t know,” I said. “That’s right. So when it becomes about you, suddenly you’re not sure.” “Don’t be a bastard.” ― B.B. Hamel, Protected by the Monster
“Like seriously, he’s uterus-convulsing hot.” ― B.B. Hamel, Diamond Heart
“I love the way you say that,” I whispered, leaning forward, lips against her ear. “I love the way you say my name.” “Luca,” she gasped as I slapped her ass, making her pretty cheek pink with my handprint. “You say it like you can’t help yourself,” I said. “Like my name’s your favorite thing in the world.” ― B.B. Hamel, Protected by the Monster
“it’s hard to let go of the narratives we weave to define who we are.” ― B.B. Hamel, Twisted with a Kiss
“Nothing is ever simple in my life. From the day I was born, everything’s been overly complicated. Every day’s a struggle, and each time I think it’s getting better, the world manages to punch me in the teeth.” ― B.B. Hamel, Beast in My Bedroom
“your dad just got married without telling you about it.” ― B.B. Hamel, Stiff
“What's the plan for today?" I asked him. "Same thing we do every day. Try and take over the world." I stared at him for a second. "Was that a 'Pinky and the Brain' reference?" "Sure was." "I'm the Brain." He laughed and took another sip of coffee. "I wouldn't have it any other way." I nodded triumphantly and nibbled at my bagel. -Lacey & Camden” ― B.B. Hamel, Cocked
“Listen, I need to sleep. You okay watching over the house for a few hours?" "Sure thing. You tell them yet?" I frowned. "I told Lacey." "Your sister?" "Stepsister." "Whatever. How'd she take it?" "About how I expected." "So she thinks you're a lying piece of shit." "Pretty much."- Camden & Trip” ― B.B. Hamel, Cocked
“Don't be such a dick." His grip was almost painful, but part of me liked it. I liked how close I was standing and how intense he looked. I knew he was just messing around with me' and was probably going to admit to the joke any second, but I wanted to drink him in while I had the chance. Because in two seconds I was going to slap the shit out of him.- Lacey” ― B.B. Hamel, Cocked
“Admitting to flaws is admitting to weakness, and weakness gets you killed when you’re standing at the top of a mountain built on blood.” ― B.B. Hamel, Beast in My Bedroom
