— Sara  Humphreys, The Good, the Bad, and the Vampire
No way was she forcing Reece into a mating he didn't want. Wolves mated for life and it wouldn't be fair to either of them. And she wasn't ashamed to admit that she wanted love and a lasting partnership. She refused to settle for less.
— Savannah Stuart, To Catch His Mate
There was a gaping hole in his chest without her. The three weeks he’d spent with her had been the best of his life. She was like this bright, shining star that had been ripped away from him. He was territorial as hell and he wasn’t letting her go.
— Savannah Stuart, To Catch His Mate
Tingles traced up her spine, and even before she turned around she knew Reece was moving her way. That shouldn't excite her so much, but after his visit this morning he was all she'd been able to think about. Obsess about. Her nipples beaded tightly against her bra as his earthy, masculine scent grew stronger, invading all her senses. Damn that male
— Savannah Stuart, To Catch His Mate
Full disclosure. I approached your father once I knew who you were. I asked him to visit my territory and to bring you. I made my intentions clear from the start. He came up with the arranged mating thing." His lips twisted in annoyance. "But I didn't stop him because the thought of waking up to you every day...

Shifters didn't share when it came to their mate.

I wanted to throw you over my shoulder and take you back to my place the moment we met, your scent was that sexy.
— Savannah Stuart, To Catch His Mate
Merrow have long memories. And remember, we live longer. So while most humans have forgotten the brutality and injustice that led to the merrow wars, the older merrow are still angry. They hate all humans. And now that the royal family is missing… some merrow think it’s time to stop hiding. They argue that the humans are destroying the world, and that it’s our duty to wipe them out.”“Wait—what?” He’d said the last statement so casually, I almost didn’t grasp its significance. “There are merrow who want to destroy the human race?” I pictured a hundred thousand Sebastians, capable of punching through picnic tables and moving faster than we could even see them. It would be a slaughter. A mermaid apocalypse. I almost laughed at the thought, but the impulse died in my throat. I felt sick. I couldn’t believe I’d wanted to kiss him just a few moments ago.
— Derek Murphy
Dude, we gotta work on your material. Hell, all you need is a little black moustache to twirl and go ‘Muahahahaha’ while you’re at it.

You want to give the biggest klutz who ever walked the earth a sailboat? I might run over someone.""Just make sure they deserve it," he answered without missing a beat.
— Donna Grant, Dark Heat: The Dark Kings Stories
What would you say, Jane, if I told you the Dragon Kings had the ability to rule the world?""I don't know.""What if I told you they once ruled the world? What would you say then?"She shrugged... "I'd say you're a half bubble off plumb.
— Donna Grant, Dawn's Desire
By all that was holy, he wanted to kiss every inch of her at least a thousand times.
— Donna Grant, Dawn's Desire
With a grin like Banan's directed at her, for the first time in her life she didn't feel like a Plain Jane.And she had managed to walk to the car and get in it without incident. Maybe the day was looking up.
— Donna Grant, Dawn's Desire
He's British," she replied in a whisper. "He thinks he's perfect.

Each male dragon has one female, the other half of his soul, the light to his dark. She has been fashioned by the Universe especially for him. Dragons mate for life. Once we find our one perfect mate, there will be no other.
— Julia Mills, Her Love, Her Dragon: The Saga Begins
The guy's light eyes sparkled as he gazed at her, the weight of his body pinning Kade to the floor. "Are you trying to get us both killed?" His voice came out low, deadly. "Or is this how you usually meet people?" Glancing toward Kade's chest, flush against his, he smirked. "Because I'm not going to lie...it's effective.
— Laney McMann, Crystallum
Who are you?" she asked."A man who will do anything for another kiss.""Just a kiss?""Nay. I want it all, but I'll take whatever you give me."The world faded away as his head bent to her. A dark lock of hair fell forward and tickled her cheek. Hal's pale blue eyes ensnared her, trapped her. Captured her.And then his lips were on hers.
— Donna Grant, Dark Craving
Almost as if speaking to herself, she continued, I would love to fly. I've always wondered what it be like to have that sense of freedom.A wistful note in her voice tugged at something deep inside him.He replied. I couldn't conceive of living without it. I can't imagine being forever grounded.
— Thea Harrison, Shadow's End
London was littered with social clubs and houses of chance, but Malfeasance was not just any gaming hell. It was located in the most notorious part of London and, Graydon had heard, was run by a pariah Djinn named Malphas.
— Thea Harrison, Shadow's End
He had not become a sentinel by worrying about what he should or shouldn't do. He would live or die as he always had, by making decision he knew to be right...Graydon didn't hide from life. He flew at it with everything he had.
— Thea Harrison, Shadow's End
He’s hot. Too hot for me. Jeez, if he said the word sex to me I would probably pass-out.

Eternity might be captured in a single kiss.
— Thea Harrison, Shadow's End
He closed his eyes. Swiftly like a predator, the vision of his death struck. This time it would not be denied.The white ground, black rocks, and red drops of his heart's blood growing on the ground like blooming roses. He lost himself in the sensation of liquid warmth flowing between his fingers.When he could finally see again, he found himself kneeling on the floor, shoulders hunched. That damned scene hung like an albatross around his neck, until he almost wished it would go ahead and happen, just so that he could get it the fuck over with.He had carried that albatross for almost two hundred damn years - exactly from the moment when he had responded to a damsel in distress and had embroiled himself in another man's curse.
— Thea Harrison, Shadow's End
Giving him a grateful nod, Graydon turned away.A heavy hand fell on his shoulder, causing him to stop in his tracks. Dragos' grip clenched, almost to the point of pain.Normally, Dragos was not demonstrative with anyone other than Pia and Liam. Moved, Graydon angled his face away. After a moment, he reached up to grip the other man's hand in return. Only then did Dragos' hold ease and allow him to continue on his way.
— Thea Harrison, Shadow's End
Placing his mouth next to her ear, he breathed. "I want to be alone with my wife, Lady O'Brien." He felt the goose bumps rise on her skin and the shiver his breath caused.She let her head fall back and the lust-filled look in her eyes made him weak in the knees. "And I with my husband, Lord O'Brien.

I have loved your daughter from the first time I saw her. We were young. I had no clue what love was, but over the years she has never left my heart. I know with all that I am, I can make her happy."The lord chuckled, "I believe so too, son. Now all you have to do is convince my daughter.
— Julia Mills, Her Love, Her Dragon: The Saga Begins
Laurie picks up a briefcase and places it on the table. He opens the lid and his head disappears under the top. Oh god. Is he about to introduce me to a cat of nine tails, or some bizarre tickling stick? Brace yourself Liz. Cate told you to always carry your pepper spray, you fool.
— LeeAnn Whitaker, Your Red Always
Elizabeth, when you look into the darkness you have two choices. You either fall into it, so you’ll never fear the unknown again. Or you stay on the ledge, always wondering what’s there. Torturing yourself over it. Elizabeth, I live in the abyss, and would like you to leap into the unknown with me. Will you join me?

Watch out for your daughters.The man is coming.He’ll promise you the world.But if you accept, there’s no turning back.Watch out for your daughters.Because here comes Jack.
— Nancy Glynn, Black 21
Layla had always just been there. In my life. I wasn't sure who said, 'hi,' first, or maybe who smiled at who first—all I really remembered was staring at her, and her staring back at me, neither of us looking away. Both of us standing frozen, and life falling into the background with a distant hum. As if the world had stopped spinning. Just for us.I remembered not caring if it had. She'd seemed so familiar, and even as a little kid, I'd known she was special. Like something bigger than me, older than me, had taken over my emotions in a way I didn't understand. She just felt like ... home. I could have gazed into her eyes forever. Happy to stand in that powerless state for the rest of my life
— Laney McMann, True
She paused and unexpectedly stroked her fingers down the feathers of his neck.He froze. She couldn't know how intimate that seemed, or how sensitive he was to her touch even through the sleek covering of eagle feathers. Pleasure at being petted ran down his spine.He should say something or step away. He did neither. Instead, ever so slightly, he leaned into her touch.It was wrong of him, but his wrong button seemed to be broken, and he didn't care.
— Thea Harrison, Shadow's End
I can't mate with you and hope to live.
— Thea Harrison, Shadow's End
Suddenly Hal burst through the nearby trees and came to an abrupt halt when he saw her. "Cassie, are you hurt?"He asked it so casually, as if he came upon women being held at sword point by nude men all the time.
— Donna Grant, Dark Craving
He held the sword as if he's used one before," Rhys said.The stranger snorted. "Of course I've used a sword. What kind of Highlander can no' wield a blade?
— Donna Grant, Dark Craving
There are things about me I can no' tell you, Cassie, no matter how much I want to. Can you accept that?""Are you married?"He shook his head."Are you some kind of criminal?"This time he gave a slight smile as he shook his head..."Then I can accept it," she whispered.
— Donna Grant, Dark Craving
The knight knew he was of good breeding and noble blood, that his reputation was sterling. He had no dalliances. He was a highly decorated Knight of the Round Table.
— Julia Mills, Her Love, Her Dragon: The Saga Begins
Even sporting a frown, his upper lip was full with a pronounced 'Cupid's bow' that inspired the image of her nibbling his tender flesh to manifest in her mind. At the thought, her cheeks heated with a blush she knew he saw by the smirk that lifted the corner of his mouth."What are ya thinkin' about?" He winked, adding insult to injury where her pride was concerned.Taking a step back and turning on her heel, Abigail growled, "I was thinking you have the manners of a stable boy but are dressed like knight.
— Julia Mills, Her Love, Her Dragon: The Saga Begins
Guy's only thought was to help her. It wasn't until he'd shoved aside the curtain and held her very wet, very naked body against him that he realized what he'd done.Her sage green eyes were wide as she stared at him. For long moments, they simply looked at each other."I heard you cry out.""My... my ankle," she said after clearing her throat. "I put too much pressure on it.""A bath would have been better." He was valiantly trying to keep his gaze on her face, but it was difficult with her pert breasts against him and her bare ass beneath his hand as he held her up."Probably," she whispered.
— Donna Grant, Night's Awakening
Don't stop," she pleaded with swollen lips. "Please, Guy, don't stop."The same hunger that ran through him had taken her as well. What kind of man would he be to leave her with such need?
— Donna Grant, Night's Awakening
Elena rolled her eyes. "Oh, please, Guy. Everything immortal has to be killed somehow. I mean, you can't survive if they cut off your head.""Want to give it try?

Why don't we leave this pot on to simmer for a while?
— Paige Tyler, In the Company of Wolves
Gage sighed. "This team was a whole hell of a lot easier to run before any of us had ever heard about The One. You know that, right?"	Maybe." Becker grinned. "But it wasn't nearly as interesting.
— Paige Tyler, In the Company of Wolves
Sleeping with a guy isn't the same thing as opening your heart to him.
— Paige Tyler, In the Company of Wolves
As engine vibrated under him, he tried to tell himself it was all going to work out. It had to. Now that he’d found The One, there was no way in hell he was letting her get away. If that meant he had to move heaven and earth to find a good life for her and her pack mates here in the city, he’d do it. If being with Jayna meant he had to empty out his bank account and sell everything he owned, he was okay with that too.He had friends in other places he could turn to, Family too. His parents owned a huge house and a lot of land outside of Denver. If he showed up with Jayna, her pack, and no job, his family would welcome them with open arms. Okay, maybe his mom would be a little shocked when she found out his girlfriend came with an extended family, but she’d overlook it if there was a possibility of a grandchild in the near future.Becker was still daydreaming about kids with Jayna someday when headlights suddenly appeared in his rear- view mirror. He glanced over, swearing when he saw two vehicles speeding up behind him and closing fast.
— Paige Tyler, In the Company of Wolves
He opened his mouth to order her to drop the MP5 she had aimed at him, but nothing would come out. It was like she'd robbed him of the ability to speak. Shooting her wasn't an option, though. And the idea of arresting her didn't make him feel any better.
— Paige Tyler, In the Company of Wolves
Why aren't you turning me over to your cop friends right now?" she demanded.	He shrugged. "To tell the truth, I have absolutely no idea. But let's talk anyway.
— Paige Tyler, In the Company of Wolves
The odds were incredibly stacked against a werewolf ever meeting his one-in-a-billion soul mate. There was no way Becker could have met his in the midst of an armed robbery. That kind of crap didn't happen in the real world.
— Paige Tyler, In the Company of Wolves
Kissing her mouth, I plunged deep inside of her. I shivered and it had nothing to do with the cool breeze coming through the windows. Her body was made for me. Perfect. And I wanted this moment to last forever.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
You killed me.” My voice was unsteady.He held me close again. “I brought you back.”“Please tell me we only have to do that once.”He whispered against my ear, “I swear I won’t kill you again. Cross my heart and hope to die.” It was a bad joke
— Catrina Burgess, Awakening
I stared down into her eyes, my voice barely a whisper. "If I stay here any longer, I'm not going to be able to stop myself from kissing you.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
Jared led me to the floor where I suddenly remembered an important detail. "I don't know how to dance."	He didn't laugh at me. Taking my hand in his, he moved his other arm around my waist and leaned in close by my ear. "Then you better let me lead.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
My mama always said, You can always ask. The worst they can do is say no. But I don’t think Mama was thinking about revenge and murder when she dealt out that piece of homespun advice
— Catrina Burgess, Awakening
Don’t worry about paying me. Stay alive, child. You must save yourself. And, whatever you do, don’t forget who you are
— Catrina Burgess, Awakening
I put what was left of the ice cube into my mouth. Her lips parted, watching my every move. I didn't hesitate, diving back in to feed on my mate, my tongue cooling the fire and heating her desire all at once.

A bedroom is not necessary for me to demonstrate my womanliness!

You've got an empire to run, I'm just your arm candy.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
This zipper only comes down for you.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
I'd kiss you if I could," I whispered.	Jared's breath caressed my skin. "I have other shirts."	I smiled and kissed him.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
It's about your mom."	"She's not mad at your again, is she?"	"No." I set the drill aside. ""In fact, I wanted to ask you for your permission to court your mom."	"You're taking her to court?
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
I'm a pretty patient guy when it's something worth waiting for.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
Taryn? Are you all right?" I nodded, pushing away the doubt. My fingers laced with his. "I've never been swept off my feet before. Sounds a little... terrifying."	He laughed, and I drank in the sound. "Terrifying is not what I'm shooting for." He kissed me, his lips caressing mine over and over until my pulse was thrumming, warming my whole body. He stared into my eyes. "Breathless maybe...
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
---	"That first day when we met, when I gave you my estimate for the deck project and you wouldn't shake my hand..." I laced my fingers with hers. "There was something sad and lonely in your eyes. I knew all about your reputation, your nickname the Ice Queen, but that wasn't what I saw that day. When I looked into your blue eyes, I saw a princess locked away in a tower, a prisoner. I wanted to set you free.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
I'm not hurting you?"	He shook his head with a crooked, very sexy smile.	"Not yet.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
Almost forgot. Can you stop by and feed my fish every few days? And talk to them too. They get lonely when I am not home.”Cooper made a face “Who the hell talks to their fish?”“Me. You’ll feed them, right”“Yeah, I’ll feed them. But I am sure as hell not talking to them,” Cooper said…..
— Paige Tyler, In the Company of Wolves
Each would treasure going to hell if it would keep the other safe!
— Sidney St. James
I felt absolutely nothing, and that frightened me even more than the darkness of oblivion
— Catrina Burgess, Awakening
Great, numbskull. Just bloody great. You've already managed to piss off the Queen. What's next on your agenda, setting fire to Disneyland?
— Thea Harrison, Pia Does Hollywood
For many minutes, we did nothing but touch each other and absorb the sensation into our skin, as if love itself were a tangible blanket wrapping us in an unbreakable bond.
— Juliette Cross, Waking the Dragon
She was so wound up that she reacted before she thought twice about it and stabbed him. "Damnit" he said between clenched teeth. His fingers tightened around her wrist. "Stop doing that.
— Donna Grant, Passion Ignites
The Light Fae had sacrificed so much for the Kings. She had been a true friend and ally to them in the past, but she was changing rapidly. Balladyn was chasing her, and it now appeared that Ulrik was as well. If her King didn't step up and set things right, Rhi would be lost to them forever.
— Donna Grant, Passion Ignites
He didn’t miss them. He didn’t miss any of his life, really, especially the last year. Time had simply been a bookmark. Something that held his place while he waited to finish the story.

She was so wound up that she reacted before she thought twice about it and stabbed him. "Damnit" he said between clenched teeth. His fingers tightyened around her wrist. "Stop doing that.

— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
She wielded the ultimate weapon against him, his kryptonite - her touch.
— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
He'd been born into duty. As a demigod descendant, a death reaper, his first commitment was to serve the god of the underworld. Hades, as a conduit to usher evil souls to hell.
— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
Just this once, be the stubborn bastard I know. Don't die.
— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
You should've run faster, Lexi. You should've stayed far away from the Dark. But most of all, you should never have fallen for your Dragon King. It'll only bring you misery and death. Humans and Kings were never meant to mix.
— Donna Grant, Passion Ignites
She wanted to lick her way across the sexy lettering on his chest just to hear his breath catch and feel the pounding of his heart beneath her tongue.
— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
If I walked in there right now, you would beg me to make you scream.""Oh, please," she said sarcastically."We wouldn't make it to a bed before I would be deep inside you.
— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
You don't have any weaknesses.""I have one." He glanced at her.
— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
He crowded her against the wall. "I'll fuck you until you admit there will never be anyone else who can bring you pleasure."A low and husky laugh erupted from deep in her chest. She trailed her hand down beneath his tuxedo jacket, over sculpted abs, to cup her hand around the hot length of him pressing against the tux trousers. She stroked him. "Promise?
— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
Shall we take it slow this time? Maybe I'll make you beg me to let you come.""I don't beg."He laughed wholeheartedly. "We'll see about that.
— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
Games can sometimes be fun."He smiled and lifted his wineglass. "A toast."She lifted hers. "To dangerous games." He smiled."To winning." She clinked her glass against his.
— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
You are tougher to kill than Steven Seagal...
— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
He pushed a finger through the surface of the water to trace the outline of her mouth. Ethereal bits of flesh floated loosely about his knuckle and nail. Then, calmly, he pulled her body up out of the tub and into his arms. He placed his lips on hers, now as cold and dead as his own.

I was going down and hard. There are a few things in life that suck really badly. Loving someone who doesn't love you back is one of them.
— Donna Augustine, Fated
The sizzle I felt being near him was so intense, but I couldn't figure out if they were fireworks or warning flares.
— Donna Augustine, Fated
I was flipping back and forth between do and don't quicker than they were serving up flapjacks down at the diner, he was getting closer to me.... close enough that I could smell him.... smell the heat that he threw off and that other certain energy that was pouring off of him right now at levels I'd not seen since Chernobyl. If I didn't move soon, I'd be in trouble... or ecstasy.
— Donna Augustine, Fated
For all that my co-workers put such stock in not being a transfer, we had a definite edge in one area. As a human, you were born knowing that you were going to die.
— Donna Augustine, Fated
We weren't a couple, but friends didn't spoon every night. Fate and I were officially in relationship-no-man's-land.
— Donna Augustine, Fated
What? A big boy like you couldn't handle a little distraction?""Little distraction? You had your hand on my cock and your tongue down my throat. I call that a pretty big distraction.

She stepped back, staring up into my eyes. “You’ve given me hope.” She ran her hand up my chest. “I don’t know how to thank you for that.”I grinned. “You can start by taking my calls.

A shard of glass cut my belly as I slid into the battered SUV, but I managed to keep the family jewels intact. I’d be counting every small victory tonight.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
Once we were on the road, I glanced at my passenger. “If you’ve got any ideas about how I can get this shit storm cleared up, I’m all ears.”Tank snorted, sneezed, and lay down on the bench seat, plopping his head on my leg. I rested my hand on his back, eyes glued to the winding two-lane highway. “Yeah, I don’t have a goddamn clue either.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
My pulse pounded in my ears, heat smoldering deep in my belly. I’d never been so tempted. “This is a dangerous game.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
His barely there smile warmed me. “You try really hard to hide behind that Ice Queen disguise, but that’s not who I see. I see a girl who had to grow up fast, and a mom who would sacrifice everything for her son. You’re beautiful, Taryn, inside and out, and I want to get to know the woman you keep hidden away.” He lowered his hand and my body ached at the loss. “If you’re willing, I’ll walk through the fire with you.
— Lisa Kessler, Ice Moon
Have ye ever known a female who wasna a bit of a witch in her own sweet way?
— Vonnie Davis, Bearing It All
A bear! I've landed on a wild and wicked bear!
— Vonnie Davis, Bearing It All
Do ye always drool like that? Is it a family trait, lass?
— Vonnie Davis, Bearing It All
She placed her fingertips on her forehead as if trying to gather her thoughts on how to handle this unexpected scenario. "Do not run from a bear. Make yourself a large target and yell to scare the bear away. Bears are easily frightened unless it's mating season." "Oh, wouldn't it be just my horrible luck to fall on a horny bear?
— Vonnie Davis, Bearing It All
Months ago, he'd told Effie, grandmother to his eldest brother's wife, that he was too busy to find a woman. He went on to brag he was quite happy being alone. That the only way he'd even consider a woman was if she dropped from the feckin' sky.He groaned and downed his first cup of coffee. Him and his big whisky loosened tongue.
— Vonnie Davis, Bearing It All
What the feckin' hell is PMS, I'd like to ken?""Petty Male Shit," she yelled.

I think...I shall call ye Beauty, for I shall be yer beast.

His head lowered as he brushed his nose against hers. "Tell me to stop. Please, Lexi, because I can no' do it on my own."	She put her hands on each side of his face. "Don't ever stop."	He issued a groan before he took her mouth again.
— Donna Grant, Passion Ignites
Have you asked yourself why you protect me? Are you as messed up about all this as me?
— Zoe Forward, His Witch to Keep
He held his crotch, his knees bent and his kilt showing he wore nothing beneath it.She shuffled from one foot to the other as she stared at his Scottish bagpipe. Bet he could hit a lot of high notes with that thing. "You...you startled me when you grabbed me like that.""Well, ye needna be afraid now. I couldna molest ya, even if I wanted to, which I dinna.I'm betting foreplay with ye would be like grabbing hold of an electrical wire while sitting in a tub of water." He groaned and cussed some more. "Hell, I bet yer vagina is lined with shark's teeth.
— Vonnie Davis, Bearing It All
She leaned her uninjured shoulder against his plump, furry behind and shoved while she bitched to herself, "Four years at the military academy, two years at Kansas State University, survival camp in the swamps of Alabama, more schooling in Florida, and then torture endurance training with the Mossad and all so I could heave a bear's ass into a helicopter. Unfreaking real.

The little woman, wearing a pink and black zigzag-striped pantsuit over a black turtleneck, resembled a skinny zebra who'd OD'd on Pepto-Bismol.

In all my years, there was only one time I felt fear. That's when I had to send my Clarets away. I never experienced it again. Until you.
— Donna Grant, Passion Ignites
The humans had killed a dragon here or there for food. Just as a dragon had killed a human here and there for food. The dragons had never been told there was a being on this realm that wasna to be eaten."	Lexi twisted her lips in revulsion.	"You eat nearly every animal on this planet, do you no'?"	"That's different."	"Hardly," he stated.
— Donna Grant, Passion Ignites
Ye have taught me something I never understood.""What? How to get rid of Parisian Pink Pecker Disease?
— Vonnie Davis, Bearing It All
I'll help you, Ulrik, King of Silvers, if you'll help me," she purred and ran her hand up his chest.	He grasped her wrist, halting her arm. Then he bent his head until their lips were nearly touching. "Shall we seal the deal with a kiss?	"I thought you'd never ask," she said huskily right before she put her mouth to his.
— Donna Grant, Passion Ignites
A love of the ages.
— That's what he had called it. Rhi had been too wrapped up in the desire and him to fully comprehend everything. It wasn't until he turned his back on her that it hit her.
Lexi glanced around the studio. She heard him in the bathroom. The door was slightly ajar, but she couldn't see him.	"A pity," she whispered.
— Donna Grant, Passion Ignites
Lexi looked him up and down and laughed. "I'll fight every one of you. I'll make it my goal to slice off every Dark Fae dick. I'll make sure that you can't harm another human again
— Donna Grant, Passion Ignites
Look at me," she demanded.	He whirled around and held out his arms. "What do you want me to say? Aye. I'm a dragon!

Tiago turned to survey the large, crowded ballroom. "Good job not killing anybody.""That's what Pia said," Dragos told him. "Night's not over yet.

Jason lifted me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist. His forehead rested against mine. "I've never liked dancing." He started to sway with the music and the tide, turning us slowly. "But maybe I just never had the right partner.

I buried my fingers in her thick, silky hair. Her teeth brushed my neck, her scent filling my lungs, and I tightened my grip, growling against her ear. "Dream come true.

You're playing dirty," she whispered.	"Did you want me any other way?

Against my mouth she groaned. "I hate being quiet." 	A breathless chuckled escaped me.	"Me too. Once we're home..."	"Lots of noise.

You sure you don't want me to come over? We could make a snowman in the garden, or one in front of the hotel for the guests' arrival tomorrow. Or we could build snow forts and have a snowball fight. Surefire way to wear you out and make you sleepy. Then we could have cocoa with marshmallows on top. And I've been dying to have a piece of that seven-layer chocolate cake. I can't quit thinking about it.

Thank God I didn't have to see his smug face. Sometimes, I wished I had a pie that I could smash into it. Well, if by pie I meant anvil, then yes. I smiled at the visual. I really was sick.

Nope. Too Much,” Marin said, and tossed the little man out of the hospital window. She needed coffee. Either that or a large dose of Thorazine.

No. I don’t want to set the speed. I don’t like being in control. I want him to set the pace. I’m not good at this kind of stuff. I’m stunned. I think I’m just staring at him with my mouth hanging open. How could he be so perfect in so many ways and then do something like this to me?

Mate. He’d told Hayden he would stick to his routine. That meant watching the game at her apartment on Sunday and maintaining their friendship. His logical mind fought against his growing urges. Last night, he couldn’t have a simple conversation without touching her. And she didn’t make things any easier. He could smell the desire pouring out of her. It took every ounce of his self-control to hold himself back. At times, it was painful. “I know what I’m doing. I’ve got the situation under control.”	Cam laughed. “Like you did yesterday? Dude, we both know it’s only going to get worse. You’re like a ticking sex bomb.”	Deep down, Kaden knew he was right. Annabelle would become an irresistible, unquenchable thirst. Ordinarily, she would feel the same pull, but there was no way to know how a human would react. “There’s no such thing as a sex bomb.”	Cam spread himself flat across the sofa with his arms crossed behind his head. “Yeah, well, there definitely should be.”	“Be serious.”	He sat up. “I’m trying to tell you, it’s foolish to fight the bond between you. You’d be better off going with it and letting the panties drop where they may.”	And what would happen if he did bond with her? There was no chance it would ever work out between them. He had to hide who he was from the world. A life with him meant Annabelle would have to lie to her friends and family about their relationship. He would never be able to marry her or give her the children she wanted. They’d talked about her dreams for a white picket fence and a family. Even if she were willing to give up those things, wouldn’t he be putting her life in danger? A dull ache formed in the pit of his chest. “You know that’s not possible.”	If he could somehow push away these human emotions of his, maybe he stood a chance of keeping her in his life. Maybe someday he could actually be happy for her if she found a suitable mate. He dug his fingernails into the palms of his hands at the thought of her with a human. “I have to go. She’s waiting for me.”	“Don’t forget the condoms,” Cam shouted out. “Matter of fact, you might want to double up. With all your pent-up frustration, there’s bound to be an explosion.”	“Hilarious,” he replied, shutting the door behind him as he made his way toward his truck. Once inside, he slid his seat belt on and leaned back against the head cushion with his eyes closed. Filled with self-doubt, he worried that he wouldn’t be able to handle it. But he had to.	For the sake of everyone he loved, he had to find a way.

Then it’s settled.” He pulled her into an embrace. “It’s been a long night for both of us. How about I drive you home?”	Inhaling a deep breath, she was overwhelmed by the woodsy scent of his bare skin. Desire surged through her—a euphoric sensation, vibrating all the way to her core. A second later, her nipples pebbled. Worried he might notice, she pulled away from him, covering her chest with her crossed arms. What was happening to her? “I think that’s a good idea.

The moment she opened the bakery door, his blue eyes had filled with desire. No man had ever looked at her so intensely, like at any moment he would rip her clothes off and ravage her on top of one of the tables. Tension built between her legs as his eyes slowly took in every inch of her. But when he’d kissed her—her body exploded. Everything she’d wanted over the last year had come to fruition. Then, just as fast, he’d disappeared.
— Stacey O'Neale, Under His Skin
He cupped her face in his hands, crushing his lips into hers. Angry and raw after all these months, he couldn’t hold himself back any longer. It wasn’t gentle or sweet. It was powerful and full of need. A quiet moan escaped from her throat, inciting another rushing wave of desire through him. Her lips parted, inviting his tongue inside her mouth.

What do you mean? What present? And why my trunk?” Anton sure had a lot of questions, but at least he drove a little faster.“I needed to transport him back to Marin’s house, and your car was unlocked.”“It most certainly was not, you Battle-Fae-Bastard.

The corner of his mouth pulled up into a crooked, boyish grin that melted the heart I was so desperate to protect. “You don’t have a monopoly on fear. Until we kick Nero’s asses out of Reno—and trust me, I have every intention of doing that—you’re a target. If anything happened to you…” He shook his head, breaking eye contact. “Can’t even think about it.

She came closer, reaching up to inspect the cut on my brow, her breasts so close to my chest, the heat of her body warmed me right through our clothes. “Jason, we need to get you to a hospital. Your brain could be swelling.”Oh, something was swelling for sure, but it was nowhere near my brain.

After he left the planet with his brothers, he'd imagined he'd live out his life alone.	That was until he met Annabelle.	His memory lingered back to the day he stepped into her bakery. His brothers were still unpacking when he decided to take a walk into town. The first time he saw her, she was placing muffins into a customer's bag. Even with her messy hair bun and stained pink apron, she was pure perfection. His entire body warmed when he got a backside peek at her pink tank top and itty bitty jean shorts. Before he knew what was happening, he'd gone inside and sat down in the same booth he sat in now. And when she came to the table to take his order, she'd bit down on her bottom lip. He'd known then those lips would complicate his life, but he had no idea just how much.

Hilary peered over her shoulder at Cam, letting her eyes lazily take him in, "See you soon, tiger."	They both watched as the door closed behind her. 	Cam made a moaning sound with a wild expression across his face. "She's going to be fun to tame.
— Stacey O'Neale, Under His Skin
Cam placed his hand on her shoulder. "It's not too late."	A thick lump swelled in her throat. "I acted like an idiot."	"That's not a problem," he replied in a comforting tone. "He's been acting like an idiot for weeks now.

You should go upstairs and relax a little. Take a nap or read one of those books that make your cheeks burn."	She playfully squinted at him. "How would you know what I look like when I read?"	He leaned forward, crossing his arms on the table. "I like watching you read."	"Really?" she questioned.	"Why?"	"It's sexy the way you react to the stories," he whispered. "Your gestures are usually simple like a giggle or a gasp. But occasionally, your nipples harden.

A rush of cold air blew against his face as he left her bakery. While he walked, Kaden tried to convince himself the date wasn't a big deal, but it was. The nervous energy swirling in his stomach gave him away. He'd never been on a date. Ever. He had met his wife the day they were bonded. He wasn't even sure of the proper protocol for a human date. His brothers had one-night stands, not dates. There was no way he could ask them. They'd never let him live it down. Perhaps he could find the answer on Google?	With all he had learned since his arrival, he was confident he could figure this out. Besides, this was a date with Annabelle - the one human he had made a connection with. After everything they had been through, taking her out on a date should be easy. 	What could possibly go wrong?

There are things I need to say first. Things you need to hear before we go any further."	She tensed. "Oh, God, are you married?"	He chuckled. "No, nothing like that."	"Good," she replied, letting out a relieved breath.	"I want you to know you've made this very difficult for me. I had a speech prepared. Then I see you like this." His finger continued to trail down her stomach, tracing the rim of her panties. "And I can't even remember my damn name.

Grace was breathing heavily when she crested a hill that was a lot steeper than she had originally though. She stood looking over the land even as a cold breeze blew past her.	She wrapped her arms around herself. Though she had traveled extensively all over Europe, she continued to set her stories in Scotland.	Her father used to laugh about it, telling her that there must be something in Scotland drawing her to the land. She used to roll her eyes at his teasing. Now she wondered if he hadn't been right.

Grace flattened her palm on his chest. "I've not been writing it correctly."	"Writing what, exactly?"	"Passion. I forgot what it was," she whispered. "I went off what I saw in movies or read, but I haven't...experienced...it in many years."	He didn't like thinking about other men being with her, but they were in the past. Where they would remain. "Were they no' good lovers?"	"They were all right, but without passion, it all feels...empty."	Arian tightened his arm around her before he rolled her onto her back so he could look into her face. "I'll be happy to show you several times a day.

All I know is that I like how I feel when I'm with you. I love how protective you are and that you aren't afraid to say you're sorry. I like how you touch me and kiss me. I like how you hold me, but more than anything, I like the possibilities that are before us.""We're in the middle of a war," he warned. She shrugged and ran her hands up his chest and over his shoulders to clasp around his neck. "Every couple has their own issues to get through.

Seeing that glorious body and to-die-for face only made her crave him more.	Then he had kissed her.	And what a kiss!	It was a kiss like none other. There was fire and a hunger that was both savage as well as tender.	At first.	Then the fire had come. The kiss had charred her, searing her from the inside out. Each touch of his tongue, each time those lips of his moved over here, had been the most incredible feeling in the world.

Jack explained. “Daisy, you were meant for me. Dane destroyed that. You’re lucky I don’t set you on fire right this minute. It’s either you or him. Pick.” Jack chewed on a toothpick, took it out of his mouth and pointed it at her and then Dane. “Pick, pick, pick,” he said, pointing back and forth.
