““I have a thick skin, baby," he told her, his wide shoulders crowding her back against the cool tiles, "but you're under it. You're buried in here so deep it's like I was born with you in my soul." His eyes slowly ignited as he slip soapy hands over her hips. "When I'm near you I'm consumed by you - your smile, you're eyes, your heart. Even though we've never been together, you've always been mine, and even if I never get to keep you, you'll still be mine.””
