Apollo on Cassandra:

"The woman is foul-tempered as a wet cat, but she's remarkably kind when she forgets to snarl at everyone around her" -Chapter 2

Cassandra on Apollo's bad habit:

"Apollo's door is closed. I stare at it. It's never closed. Ever. Honestly, I wish it were because he as the nasty habit of singing under his breath, but like everything else about him, his baritone voice is delightful. It's highly distracting"-Chapter 3

Apollo on Cassandra's bad habit:

"Kink shaming, Cassandra? Really?"- Chapter 5

Apollo on Cassandra's wardrobe:

"Because I'm standing here, gawking at her like she's an animal in a cage. I'm her boss and I'm ogling her and making her feel uncomfortable. I'm acting like an unforgivable jerk. I give myself a shake. 'You look adequate'" -Chapter 6

Apollo's fiery touch:

"'Minos.' Apollo's voice doesn't go tight, but he places a hand on my thigh. Just like that, I'm not thinking about Minos at all. My brain kind of...blips. Apollo keeps speaking as if he's not branding me right through the thin fabric of my dress" -Chapter 7

Cassandra on fine dining:

"We're fully clothed and sitting in the middle of a crowded restaurant, but I'm having trouble remembering why I can't climb onto his lap" -Chapter 7

Cassandra can't take a compliment:

"...but I can't shake the feeling that she just changed the subject because she isn't comfortable with the compliment. That doesn't make any sense, though. Cassandra is one of the most confident people I know. Why would she be uncomfortable with my honest appreciation?" -Chapter 8

But is ok with the tapes:

"Cassandra waves that away. 'My reputation has been in tatters since before you met me. Besides, this is a fake relationship, so it's not as if we're in danger of having him film and leak a sex tape. if it serves your purpose to keep the cameras in place, don't let me be the reason you don't.' Sex tape. An image slams into my head, too quick to resist. Me on my back, holding my phone. Cassandra astride me and..." -Chapter 8
