| 16cc823 | Oh, please--" "Shut up and let me finish!" Z's mouth dropped open, sure as if she'd booted him in the ass. No one ever took that tone of voice with him. The anomaly alone would have gotten his attention, but the fact that it was her stunned him out." | J.R. Ward | ||
| 1166597 | I want to meet you in person." "Sorry, I'm not into dating." "Yeah, I can imagine with that face of yours you don't have much luck there. But I don't want you for sex." "I'm so relieved. Now who the fuck are you?" | J.R. Ward | ||
| b72504d | Zsadist blinked a couple of times. What the hell just happened? He looked around the room as if the furniture or maybe the drapes could help him out. Then his acute hearing tuned in to a quiet sound. She was...crying. With a curse he went over to the bathroom. He didn't knock, just turned the knob and went inside. She was standing next to the shower, arms crossed, tears pooling in her sapphire eyes. Oh...God. What was a male supposed to do .. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 0c5d2e3 | I'm not a man, Mary, even though parts of me look like one. What you just had is nothing compared to what I want to do to you. I want my head between your legs so I can lick you until you scream my name. Then I want to mount you like an animal and look into your eyes as I come inside of you. And after that? I want to take you every way there is. I want to do you from behind. I want to screw you standing up, against the wall. I want you to s.. | J.R. Ward | ||
| de06b7f | The brain has a way of confirming its own hypotheses. It's how we function in our world. That which fits within our definition and perspective of our existence is retained, if not amplified. That which does not is either rationalized or cast aside until an event so great or profound occurs that we must rethink everything. | J.R. Ward | ||

| f5c8b6f | She lifted the cup to her lips. "You make good coffee." "You haven't tasted it yet." "I can smell it. And I love the way it smells." It's not the coffee, he thought. Not all of it, at any rate. "Well, I love your perfume," he said, because he was a dolt. She frowned. "I'm not wearing any. I mean, other than the soap and shampoo I use." "Well, I like them, then. And I'm glad you stayed." "Is this what you planned?" Their eyes met. Sh.. | coffee date not-just-anyone | J.R. Ward | |
| 1791fcf | Sometimes life brought you to corners that you saw coming, big changes altering your direction and focus thanks to a given event, like a mating or the birth of a young. Other times, though, the glacial shifts came without warning, popping out of nowhere. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 79ce0f8 | Because in all of his adult life he'd been through the full gamut of emotions . . . and he'd never once felt like this. Whole. Complete. At peace. "Holly, you are so much more than I thought you were," he whispered, brushing her cheek. As those lovely eyes of hers grew watery, she said, "And you've turned out to be everything I wished you'd be." "Well, hasn't this been the show of a lifetime, then?" He kissed her slowly. "And I have the per.. | J.R. Ward | ||
| dcedfdb | My scent's all over you. It's inside of you. That's how my people will know who your mate is. It's also a warning." "A warning?" she breathed, languor suffusing her body. "To other males. It tells them who will come after them with a dagger if they touch you." Okay, that shouldn't be erotic as hell. But it was." -- | J.R. Ward | ||
| ee0a7c3 | He looked her face over, loving the strong features and the short hair and the piercing forest green eyes. "I never would have asked you, you know...to blow everything you have here away for me." "That's only one of the reasons I love you." "Will you tell me the others later?" "Maybe." She slipped her hand between his legs, shocking the shit out of him and making him gasp. "Might show you, too." He covered her mouth with his and pushed .. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 6ff0d1f | He stood up, a giant of a man--er, male, his dark hair catching the dim light from the street lamps out in front of the condo. A wave of sadness came over her, and she closed her eyes. "Hey," he said, sitting down next to her. "None of that. We're not sad. You and me? We're not sad. We don't do sad." She laughed with a choking sound. "How did you know what I was feeling? Or do I look that pathetic?" He tapped his nose. "I can smell it. S.. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 4931e2d | It was Zsadist. His eyes closed, his head back, his mouth wide open, he sang. The scarred one, the soulless one, had the voice of an angel. | J.R. Ward | ||
| e94308a | Of course I want you," she said right in his ear. "I love you." He let loose some kind of hoarse word, and his arms crushed her to him. As she found herself not being able to breathe because he was squeezing her so tight, she thought, Yup, this really was him. And he wasn't going to let her go this time. Thank. God. As he held Jane up off the ground, Vishous was wholly happy. Complete in a way that having all your fingers and toes couldn'.. | J.R. Ward | ||

| 7bb2e60 | V?" Vishous raised his stare. "Yeah?" "I think you should know, after all this deep conversatin'..." Butch shook his head gravely. "We still ain't dating." The two of them busted out laughing," | J.R. Ward | ||

| 816a89e | I learned that protecting someone by keeping him away from me doesn't shelter either of us. I learned that feeling other people's feelings for them doesn't bring us closer, it only separates me from myself and my needs. I always thought being codependent meant being too emotionally glued to someone; I didn't realize the way I was doing it was setting me adrift. | introspection love relationship | Lisa Scottoline | |
| 496afa6 | She'd believed in forever in her twenties, when Gray had said it, meaning every word, and she'd believed in forever in her thirties, when William had said it, lying through his teeth.
