“You're walking funny," Lucy said, a shit-eating grin on her face. Five days of out of this world sex with a starving man could do that to a girl.

"You're just jealous." Brenna pushed through the door into DarkRiver's business HQ.

Lucy made a mournful face. "Yes, I am. Goddamn but your man is hot. And he smiles at you! I've seen him do it, even if no one believes me.”

“Are you going to kiss me?" I blabbered stupidly.
"I'm working up the nerve," he said softly.”

“I assume you have a reason for manhandling my mate?鈥� Cool words but his amusement was apparent.

鈥淩iley likes Mercy,鈥� she stage-whispered, trying to twist around to look at her mate. 鈥淏ut she told him that h鈥攐omph.鈥� Riley set her on her feet without warning.

She swayed, but Judd's hands on her hips kept her upright. Pushing her hair off her face, she leaned into her sexy Psy mate and smirked at Riley. 鈥淪ooo...鈥�

鈥淛udd.鈥� Riley ignored her. 鈥淵ou're obviously not interesting enough for my sister鈥攕he's got way too much time to poke her nose into other people's business.鈥�

Judd wrapped his arms around her from behind, his chin on her hair. 鈥淚'm more interested in you and Mercy.”
― Nalini Singh, Branded by Fire

“Can I..." He stopped and his jaw flexed. "Can I kiss you?"
I didn't answer, and he didn't wait for me to. His hands caught me gently behind the neck and he pressed his mouth to mine, softly but firmly. Then he moved one arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.”

“Aren鈥榯 you going to get up?"

He put a hand on the curve of her hip, a possessive gesture that had already become
familiar.

"No. Let鈥榮 have more sex.”

“I made lasagna for dinner," Tamsyn called out. "That work for you?"

He continued to look at her, as if he'd drink her up with his eyes. "Anything is fine."

"Maybe I shouldn't waste my lasagna on you, then." Tamsyn grabbed a container from the cooling unit. "How about some cardboard instead?"

Brenna found herself amused in spite of the blood that continued to scent the air and the taut expectation that stretched between her and Judd. Lips twitching, she waited for his response.

"Cardboard has no nutritional value." Utterly toneless. "Lasagna would be a better choice.”

“I did not ask you out. But I would seriously think about not shooting you down if you asked me. Nicely." I had to keep my pride.
He took both of my hands in his. "Brenna Blixen will you be my girlfriend, please." He held up one of my hands and kissed my knuckles smoothly. "Pretty please. With sugar on top.”
― Liz Reinhardt, Double Clutch

“Brenna was fixing some kind of a small computronic device when he found her in her quarters. 鈥淛udd,鈥� she said, putting down her tools. 鈥淵ou can鈥檛 be here. The dissonance鈥斺€�

He interrupted her panicked words. 鈥淚 need to ask you something important.鈥�

鈥淲hat could be more important than your life?鈥� She sounded close to tears.

鈥淵our life. If you die, I don鈥檛 know if I鈥檇 stay sane.鈥� A simple truth.”

“Can I bite you here, too?”

“You don't have to lie to me to be nice, Jake. You can just say, 'Wow, your nails look crappy.'" I did my best boy voice.
"Well, I will tell you that's a crappy imitation of my voice." He smiled so wide I could see his eyetooth from across the table. "But you've got to know you're totally hot, chipped nails and all." He burned beet red all the way to the roots of his hair. "Man, you get me to say some embarrassing stuff, Brenna." He rubbed his hand on the back of his neck.
"Hey, don't blame me when you feel moved to make strange declarations.”

“Drew told me to never, ever talk to him about sex. As far as he鈥榮 concerned, I鈥榣l be a virgin until I鈥榤 a hundred, same as Brenna.”

“I'm winning a date with you. Granted, it's the frigging lamest date on earth, but I'm winning it anyway.”
― Liz Reinhardt, Double Clutch

“Then I almost pity Judd.鈥� Leaning in, she whispered, 鈥淢ake him uncomfortable. Don鈥檛 take no for an answer. Push. Push him until he loses control. Remember, fire melts ice.鈥�

Brenna looked into those eerie night-sky eyes as Faith drew back. 鈥淐ould be a dangerous game.鈥�

鈥淵ou don鈥檛 seem to be the kind of woman content with safe and easy.鈥�

鈥淣o.鈥� She also wasn鈥檛 the kind of woman who gave up at the first obstacle. Judd might be categorically Psy, but she was a SnowDancer.”
― Nalini Singh, Caressed by Ice

“I need you," he said to her, this woman who'd fought for her own right to live her life free of limits, "to build me some remote detonation devices."
Amazing brown eyes shot with blue peering into his as she pressed her nose to his. "You always say the most romantic things.”

&濒诲辩耻辞;搁颈濒别测?鈥�

鈥淕o away.鈥� He鈥檇 heard Brenna enter, had decided to ignore her.

But Brenna had never been easily dissuaded. 鈥淒rew said you鈥檙e not sleeping well- that you were up most of last night.鈥�

He went through a vicious series of moves and ended a foot from her, breath calm, eyes furious. 鈥淒rew has a big fucking mouth.鈥�

鈥淵eah, tell me something I don鈥檛 know.鈥� She grinned, but there was worry in those magnificent eyes she鈥檇 turned from a scar to a badge of courage. 鈥淩iley, is this鈥� I鈥︹€�

Scowling, he closed the distance between them to cup her cheek. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not about you.鈥� Her hurt haunted him, but he wasn鈥檛 going to put that weight on her back. That was his cross to bear. 鈥淚鈥檓 not sleeping well because I want sex.鈥�

Her mouth dropped open. Then she went bright red. 鈥淭oo. Much. Information!”

“I'm not quiet because I'm not proving a point. I'm quit because I gave no idea what to say to the emotions tearing me up.”
― Katie McGarry, Walk the Edge

“She gave a frustrated little cry. "Everyone thinks I should be wrapped up in cotton wool and babied-when I'm not being pitied, that is! But I'm no tame housecat. I never have been. What was done to me didn't alter that. I'm attracted to Judd's strength-give me a nice gentle puppy dog of a man and I'd drive him to tears within the hour.”

“The most important thing I came to tell you is that I want your oath that you will keep an open mind...about everything that may seem impossible.”

“Thomas make it easy to cave to temptation with his golden - blond hair, muscle from head to toe and sexy brooding expression a few girls have written about in poems.”
― Katie McGarry, Walk the Edge

“Oh my God, I can't believe I actually said that out aloud".
Neither could he. The fact that she saw him as so sexually appealing was enough of a surprise to render him speechless. He was numb. Even the dissonance cut off - likely reading his reaction as one of complete unemotionality.”
― Nalini Singh

“As always, when she needed God most, He chose to ignore her.”
― Cynthia Wicklund, Lord of Always

“For long moments they clung to one another, only their heavy breathing filling the quiet. Gradually the mist cleared from Brenna鈥檚 sight, and she gazed into the summer-sky blue of her husband鈥檚 eyes. Eternity stared back at her. There was no world beyond their world, no time that did not belong to them”
― Cynthia Wicklund, Lord of Always

“Sweetheart, you have to get some sleep. The doctor said you needed to rest, that your body was still flushing that drug out of your system.鈥�
Eli said nothing for a moment. 鈥淵ou called me 鈥榮weetheart.鈥欌€�
鈥淚 did?鈥�
鈥淒id you mean it? Cause here鈥檚 the thing, sugar. You turned my world upside down. I鈥檝e never been so scared in my life as when I realized Scarlett Group had taken you. I was afraid I wouldn鈥檛 have the chance to tell you how much I love you.鈥�
鈥淥h, Eli.鈥� Tears filled her eyes. Her handsome Navy SEAL loved her enough that he was laying his heart on the line without having a clue she felt the same way about him.. An act of courage from the man staring at her with a wary gaze.
鈥淲e haven鈥檛 known each other long. If it鈥檚 too soon for you to know how you feel about me, I鈥檒l wait. Just know you own my heart, Brenna. I want to marry you and someday watch you rock my children.鈥�
She laid her hand over his mouth, stemming the tidal wave of words. 鈥淓li, you don鈥檛 have to wait.鈥�
鈥淚 don鈥檛?鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 a romance writer, my love. Happy endings are my stock in trade. Without you in my life, I wouldn鈥檛 have a happy ending because I love you, too, Eli. And, yes, I will marry you.鈥� 鈥淪oon?鈥�
鈥淭he sooner, the better.”

“She deserved so much better than the hand she鈥檇 been dealt in this whole situation. Brenna rated safety and security, a lifetime of love and care, something he鈥檇 like to be the one to give her if she鈥檇 let him. Yeah, he鈥檇 been sideswiped by his feelings. She mattered to him on a level deeper than any other woman had in his life.”
