“Fuck, Katie. I’m not sleeping with you naked unless we’re gonna fuck, and we’re not gonna fuck while you’re this drunk. Especially the first time.”

Dirty Like Me
“Favorite sexual position?”“My face. Between your legs.” My laughter choked off as heat flushed my cheeks. Right. Oral fixation. “Um…” I swallowed. “Isn’t that more of a foreplay position?” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Me
“The last time I wore a dress for a man it was white, and that didn’t turn out so well for me. I sure as fuck wasn’t going down that road again—bending over backwards to be what I wasn’t to try to please a guy. Any guy.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Me
“In that moment, I knew it. There was no point denying it to myself anymore. I was in love with Jesse Mayes.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Me
“How long would it take me to get over this? To get over him? Could take a week. Could take the rest of my life.” ― Jaine Diamond, Lovely Madness
“The dirty deed, Katie! We did the nasty. The wild thing. Do I need to start singing Tone-Loc?” ― Jaine Diamond, Handsome Devil
“When you’re in a relationship, love isn’t a noun, man. It’s a fucking verb. Maybe you can’t always choose who you fall in love with, but it’s a choice to wake up every morning and love the one you’re with, to be there for them and do whatever it takes to put their needs right up there front and center with your own.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Zane
“I didn’t want him to break my heart.” “No one wants a broken heart, sweetheart.” “I mean, I wished that I’d never given him that power. I know I pretend I’m over it, but I think I still hate him because it makes it easier to pretend he didn’t hurt me. That he wasn’t ever someone who amazed me and thrilled me and put a smile on my face. That he wasn’t ever the man of my dreams. Or at least, the man I thought was the man of my dreams.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Me
“You can’t stand there and act like you don’t need me. Like I’m not the one for you, if that’s what I am.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Jude
“when I’m with you, I feel like myself. And somehow, when you look at me, I know that man is enough.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Seth
“The reality was, it was easier to handle Ashley with all his thorns than it was to look into the compassion in Dylan’s eyes right now and not squirm.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Dylan
“all I wanted to do was put my arm around her, take care of her, because she was Dylan’s. I knew she was Dylan’s. I’d known it from moment one, that she was made for him. And maybe I wanted a piece of that.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Dylan
“His eyelids lowered dismissively as he glared at her, like she wasn’t worth the effort of his full attention.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Dylan
“Ash used his rock star image, his player persona, his cocky attitude and crude tattoos to keep people out. And he’d always lived on the edge, keeping himself on the outside of things, not even wanting to fit in.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Dylan
“Don’t go far, bratface.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Brody
“And so, we were both playing the game. A game neither of us was willing to lose.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Jude
“he lost his parents young, younger than I did, and I know what that does to a person. How it shapes you in a way that’s so unfair, that’s beyond your control because you’re too young to even know it’s happening. And there’s this hole that stays with you, this missing piece, because you never get to find out how different you might’ve been if your parents had been there to parent you.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Zane
“But it’s not an addiction. It’s not some unhealthy, fucked-up obsession that we have zero power over, that’ll drive us both into an early grave. It’s something we’re both strong enough to know we could walk away from and we’d both survive on our own, but we don’t. We don’t, because our lives are better when we’re together. It’s a choice, every moment, to be together.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Zane
“And those dimples. Good fucking lord, the dimples. He smiled at me now, halfway, and it really wasn’t fair. Those things were weapons of mass destruction.” ― Jaine Diamond, Dirty Like Jude
