Quote by St. John Climacus

“[L]et us talk about the unholy vice of self-esteem, the beginning and completion of the passions; and let us talk briefly, for to undertake an exhaustive discussion would be to act like someone who inquires into the weight of the winds.”

“I am afraid, too.” That is not what I expected him to say. “Why are you afraid?” “The same reasons you are, I imagine. I worry you will hate me and we will struggle again. I worry about the kit we will make. I worry if anything happens to it, it will destroy what we have again.” He kisses my cheek. “But I do know that I am more afraid of not trying.”

“Why a follow-up?” “Because my safety is important,” she tells me. “They’re going to make sure you’re not abusing me, that’s all.” Leilani gives me a pert look. “The moment you lay a finger on me, I’m poisoning your food, just so you know.” I chuckle. “What if it’s a good finger?” I flirt. “And you want it laid on you?”

“You make me feel like I’m someone, Piper. I’m addicted to that.” “You are someone,” I say, leaning in close. I want him to kiss me so badly that I’m aching. “You’re the kindest man I’ve ever met.” “The kindest.” He snorts even as he teases my folds, working my body like a musical instrument. “You’re going to ruin my reputation.”

“I don’t want you to stay because you feel sorry for me. I don’t want you to feel like I’ve trapped you here.” “I’m not staying out of a sense of responsibility. Kef me, woman. I do feel responsible, but that’s not why I’m staying. I’m staying because I want to be with you. Because you deserve a home and I want to be the one to give it to you. Because you look at me like I created the stars instead of the nobody station trash that I am.”

“I’m afraid I might have to kill you.” He stiffens for a moment, and then a soft, wheezing sound escapes him, almost like a kittenish sneeze. It takes me a moment to realize that this is the praxiian version of laughing. He’s laughing at me. Well now I really want to kill him. “What’s so fucking funny?” “You can’t kill me. You can’t even look me in the eye right now. You keep staring at my cock.” “That’s because it’s staring right back!”
