“Maybe you could be mine / or maybe we’ll be entwined / aimless in this sexless foreplay.”
― Jess C. Scott, EyeLeash: A Blog Novel
“But when a woman decides to sleep with a man, there is no wall she will not scale, no fortress she will not destroy, no moral consideration she will not ignore at its very root: there is no god worth worrying about.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera
“You cold or something?' he said. She strained against him; she wanted to pass clear through him: 'It's a chill, it's nothing'; and then, pushing a little away: 'Say you love me.'
I said it.'
'No, oh no. You haven't. I was listening. And you never do.'
'Well, give me time.'
'Please.'
He sat up and glanced at a clock across the room. It was after five. Then decisively he pulled off his windbreaker and began to unlace his shoes.
'Aren't you going to, Clyde?'
He grinned back at her. 'Yeah, I'm going to.'
'I don't mean that; and what's more, I don't like it: you sound as though you were talking to a whore.'
'Come off it, honey. You didn't drag me up here to tell you about love.'
'You disgust me,' she said.
'Listen to her! She's sore!'
A silence followed that circulated like an aggrieved bird. Clyde said, 'You want to hit me, huh? I kind of like you when you're sore: that's the kind of girl you are,' which made Grady light in his arms when he lifted and kissed her. 'You still want me to say it?' Her head slumped on his shoulder. 'Because I will,' he said, fooling his fingers in her hair. 'Take off your clothes--and I'll tell it to you good.”
I said it.'
'No, oh no. You haven't. I was listening. And you never do.'
