“What if I don’t choose you, Kellan? What will you do?��
He looked away, a tear rolling down his cheek. “I’ll leave, Kiera. I’ll leave, and you and Denny can have your happily ever after.�� He looked back at me. “You wouldn’t even need to tell him about me. Eventually, the two of you…�� his voice broke and another tear fell on his cheek, “the two of you would get married, and have children, and have a great life.��
I fought back a sob. “And you? What happens to you in that scenario?��
“I…get by. And I miss you, every day,�� he whispered.”

“..."you finally get it."...
... "get what?"...
"That I'm yours... that you can take me... anywhere, anytime, anyway. That you own every peice of me.”
― S.C. Stephens, Effortless

“I need you. Let me do this. I can make you forget him. I can make you forget you.”
― S.C. Stephens, Thoughtless

“Are you about to have sex in my bathroom?"
Without missing a beat, Kellan responded with, "Yes," and started closing the door.”

“I hid this one in hopes that you would find it long after I'm gone. I hope you find this months from now, when I'm still out there, on the road, away from you. I can't imagine what the time apart has done to us. I'm hoping we're more in love than ever. I'm hoping that when I come back, you'll move in with me. In all honesty, I'm hoping that when I come back, you'll agree to marry me someday. Because that's what I want, what I dream about. You, mine, for the rest of my life. I hope you feel the same because I don't know what I would do without you. I love you so much. But, if for some reason we're not closer, if something has gotten between us, please, I'm begging you, don't give up on me. Stay. Stay with me. Work it out with me. Just don't leave me. Please.”
― S.C. Stephens

“Every single day I'll keep you with me, no matter how far from me you are.”
― S.C. Stephens, Reckless

“I love you . . . even if you are insane.��
Kellan was chuckling as he opened the shower door. “Good, because I think I’m going to be burping soap bubbles for a week.”
― S.C. Stephens, Reckless

“Lord help the female population if Kellan and I have a boy one day.”
― S.C. Stephens, Reckless

“Never again. I don't care what's at stake. I don't care who I have to let down. I won't ever do that to you again. You... or me. I'm done playing their game."��”
― S.C. Stephens, Reckless

“I know that I’ve become one of those spouting, love-sick idiots, but what it all boils down to is three words that don’t mean enough…I love you.”

“Griffin? You ever heard of knocking?��
Griffin sniffed and tucked his chin-length hair behind his ears. “We’re family, dude, I don’t need to knock.��
I sighed, not sure if Kellan could argue that point or not—not since Griffin had impregnated my sister. He really was family now. Lord help me.”
― S.C. Stephens, Reckless

“I started to want what the two of you had..”
― S.C. Stephens, Thoughtless

“I get by and I miss you everyday”

“She was my greatest pain, and my only salvation. She was the only one who could heal this hole in my heart, a hole she’d torn open." Kellan Kyle”

“You’ve had sex with that girl!��

He blinked at my tone and my words, then his face heated. “And?�� I blinked that he didn’t even try and deny it. “And…and…�� Not having a real argument, I sighed and hung my head. “And I’m tired of running into girls who know what making love to you feels like. �� He sighed and stepped into me, cupping my face. His voice and face softer, he shook his head. “No one but you knows what making love to me feels like.�� Raising his eyebrows, he rested his head against mine. “I didn’t even know what making love was like until you.�� Pulling back, he tilted his head at the building. “What happened with that girl…was just sex. A mindless, physical act that had no meaning or feeling behind it. It was just pleasure…and I don’t even really remember it.��

Squatting down, he met my eye. “I remember every single time with you. Even before we were together, being with you haunted my dreams.

I couldn’t forget, even when I wanted to…�� His thumbs brushed over my cheeks as I felt tears falling down them. “You…seared me. That’s making love. That is something that none of them have over you. You are…unforgettable…and I love you.��
Sniffling, I swallowed a couple times before I could finally say, “I love you, too.”

“When moments to remember happen, you have to pause a second to appreciate them. Otherwise none of this is worth it. And getting married to you is definitely a moment to remember.”

“What is it about me and coffee that drives you over the edge? - Kellan Kyle”
― SC Stephens

“You were the biggest mistake of my life, Kellan. You were right—we’re not friends, never were. I wish you would just go away.��
I felt like she’d just reached into my chest and squeezed my heart until it burst open in her hands. Her words hurt me more than anything I’d ever heard before, and I’d heard some pretty shitty things in my lifetime. This was worse than anything my father had ever said or done to me. It was worse than hearing her have sex with Denny five seconds after me. This…destroyed me.”

I love you, always, Kellan”

“You wonder why I’m constantly aroused, and I guess I’m telling you. Your body fires me. Your fingertips brushing over my skin, ignites me. Your breath washing over me, enflames me. Everything about you is sensual, and you have no idea…none. When you stare at me with those smoky eyes, undressing me like I undress you, all of the blood rushes down, and I want you…so bad. I’m pretty sure that wherever I am right now, I have an ache, a hard, nearly painful ache…because I’m thinking of you." Letter from Kellan to Kiera.”
― S.C. Stephens, Effortless

“I couldn't leave you. I remembered the look on your face, when I told you I was leaving. No one's looked at me that way before. No one's ever cried for me before. No one's asked me to stay before...no one. I convinced myself you cared for me." He shook his head lightly and smiled. "I knew then, that I would stay with you...even if it killed me." Kellan Kyle”

“Kiera was a scar across my heart that would never fully heal, no matter how many random encounters I placed across it. My poor imitations of her were only ripping open the wound again and again. Good or bad, she was forever a part of me." Kellan Kyle”
― S.C. Stephens, Thoughtful

“My day isn’t complete until I’m deep inside you. Your body wrapped around mine is the only way I feel whole. But don’t think it’s just sex and a physical response to you that I’m feeling. It’s not…it’s so much more. You’ve opened me in a way that leaves me bleeding, vulnerable. Being with you, making love to you, it only solidifies what I feel for you. I know that I’ve become one of those spouting, love-sick idiots, but what it all boils down to is three words that don’t mean nearly enough�� I love you." Letter from Kellan to Kiera.”

“What if I'm the one that needs you?”

“How we got together, the lies, the betrayals...we doomed ourselves before we even started." He shook his head. "We love each other so much...and we don't trust each other at all." Kellan Kyle”

“I’ll still be with you every night, Kiera. Every night, no matter where I am, I’m crawling into bed with you. Our bed will be a lot bigger, miles wide, but it will still just be me and you inside it…okay?”
― S.C. Stephens, Effortless

“I’m gonna miss you…every second.”
