“You get on your f**king high horse damn quickly, Caro,” he snapped. I was taken aback at his angry tone. “I’m just saying…” “What? What the f**k are you ‘just saying’?” he said, his voice growing louder with each syllable. “You were a f**king journalist, Caro! You could have found me any time if you’d wanted to. It would have been so easy for you. So easy! I didn’t even know your f**king last name. I was so desperate to find you that I even tried to see that prick of a husband of yours, but he slammed the door in my face and called my CO. I was on f**king punishment duties for weeks after that. But you didn’t give a shit, did you? It’s just lies. You just tell me what you think I want to hear. How can I ever trust you?” PainTrustHeartbreakCaroline Sebastian Book:The Education of Caroline Source: The Education of Caroline
“What? What the fuck are you ‘just saying’?” I grit out, unable to stop my voice growing louder with each syllable. “You were a fucking journalist, Caro! You could have found me any time if you’d wanted to. It would have been so easy for you. So easy! I didn’t even know your last name. I was so desperate to find you that I even tried to see that prick of a husband of yours, but he slammed the door in my face and called my CO. I was on fucking punishment duties for weeks after that.

“The Marine Corps was the family I’d never had. And for three years it was home, even though I traveled all over the world. And then I was sure, so sure that Caro would find me. Because after three years, my fucking parents couldn’t touch us—and her ‘crime’ of sleeping with me when I underage was beyond the Statute of Limitations. But she never came. And I hated her. I thought I hated her—I tried.” HeartbreakResentmentSebastianHate Love Book:Semper Fi Source: Semper Fi
“Caro, I don’t understand,” I gasped. “Why do you love me?” “Just because … because the sky is blue and the sea is green.” And then I broke. Everything she’d told me was true. She’d loved me ten years ago, and all the years in between, and she still loved me now. And I didn’t know why; I didn’t understand, but maybe that didn’t matter, because she loved me, and I loved her and I always had. It had only ever been her. My Caro.” LoveHeartbreakDeclarationBreakdownSebastian Caroline Book:Semper Fi Source: Semper Fi
“I’m not going to touch you, Sebastian,” she purred, “and you’re not going to touch me. Yet. I’m going to show you how good I am with words.” “I have no idea what you’re talking about baby, but it’s making me feel horny.” She smiled. “That’s the point, Sebastian. I’m going to make you so hard, I’m going to get you so wound up, I’m going to turn you on so much, that all I’ll have to do is touch you with one finger to make you come.” “Fuck!” SeductionHard OnSebastian Caroline Book:Semper Fi Source: Semper Fi
“What did I know of the kind of love that made it hard to breathe, where your body ached day and night for that connection with another, physically, mentally, spiritually? It was utterly new and terrifying and exhausting and wonderful. I was dazzled by the light that spilled from him into the shadow of my previous existence. He eclipsed everything, erased everything that had gone before. I was reborn—not just to him, but to myself. And I was ready for the adventure.” True LoveSoulmates Book:The Education of Sebastian Source: The Education of Sebastian
“Was that supposed to be funny? “Why is she saying stuff like that to you?” I bit out. Caro rolled her eyes. “Oh, don’t be such a prude, Sebastian! It’s just a joke. She’s always nagging me to find a man.” “What about me?” I growled, my tone angrier than I’d intended. Caro huffed quietly. “I haven’t told anyone about you. I like having you to myself. But I will, if you want me to.” Was she ashamed of me? Was this just a summer fling to her after all? The old fears rushed back—I was a secret, her dirty little secret. Again.” FearJealousyInsecuritySebastian Caroline Book:Semper Fi Source: Semper Fi
“I hated hearing her talk about her ex-husband, and I definitely didn’t want to hear that he’d taught her to sail. That skewered my heart. I knew it was irrational to hate something that had happened long before Caro and I had gotten together, but I did. I hated every single second that she’d ever spent with him. I hated that he’d been her first. I hated that he’d nearly broken her, and if I ever saw that fucker again, I wouldn’t be responsible for my actions.” AngerJealousySebastian CarolinePossissivenes Book:Semper Fi Source: Semper Fi

“Ten years ago he’d said these words to me, told me that he loved me. I’d believed they were the words of a lonely, infatuated boy: real, but not lasting. Now the same man was standing before me, saying that he’d loved me all this time – and that it was real. He didn’t care that I was older than him; he didn’t care that I was ridden with insecurities; and he’d forgiven me for doubting him.” LoveSoulmatesSecond ChanceCaroline Sebastian Book:The Education of Caroline Source: The Education of Caroline
“Oh, fuck!” Stupid useless, clueless, pathetic jarhead! “What? What’s wrong?” she asked nervously. “I forgot to give you the fucking ring. Fuck it! I wanted this to be so smooth. I said it enough times in my head.” She started to smile, and her hand covered her mouth as if she was holding back laughter. I couldn’t blame her—I was a freakin’ idiot.” HumorProposal Gone Wrong Book:Semper Fi Source: Semper Fi
“Do you see anything of him … David?” I grit out the name of her ex-husband, managing not to spit on the street as I said it.” HateJealousySebastian Book:Semper Fi Source: Semper Fi
