Being with you never felt wrong. It’s the one thing I did right. You’re the one thing I did right.

Whoa, who peed in your Cheerios?

What do I have to do to convince you that I’m only using Dabria for one reason, one only reason: Destroy Hank, bit by bit if is necessary,and make him pay for all the things...

Dinner equals survival, team.

Nice costume,” he said. “Ditto. I can tell you put a lot of thought into yours.”Amusement curled his mouth. “If you don’t like it, I can take it off.

Not that kind of ride,” he said slowly.

Do you think they’re going to buy that a guy in tacky leather chaps dances like this?” I scoffed when he twirled me back into his embrace. “Keep it up, and I’ll put you in...

All I can think about is bed.””We’re sharing the same thought.””You’re thinking about bed too?” But Patch had told me that he rarely slept. “I’m thinking about you in my bed.

I called Vee.”How are you doing?” I asked.”Good. How are you?””Good.”Silence.”Okay,” Vee said in a rush, “I am still totally freaked out. You?””Totally.

Try it on.””It’s probably a little snug. Marcie tends to buy down when it comes to sizing.” He merely smiled.”It has a slit up the thigh.” His smile depened.”Zip it up?”Patch’s eyes made a slow...

Soap. Shampoo. Hot water.”Naked. I know the drill.

I love you more than I think I should.

I stared at the phone in disbelief, then ripped a clean sheet of paper from my notebook. I scribbled ‘ Jerk ‘ on the first line. On the line beneath it I added, ‘ Smokes...

It will cost me a lot to send you with Scott wearing that dress but, just so you know: if you come with that dress even slightly wrinkled, I will trace Scott, and when I...

I nibbled my lower lip. “If you could see into my past just by touching my back, you’d have a hard time resisting the temptation too.””I have a hard time keeping my hands off you...

Right now, I had everything I could ask for. It wasn’t a long list, but it was a very satisfying one, starting with the love of my life back in my arms.

They say that when you’re about to die, your life flashes before your eyes. They never tell you that when you watch someone you once loved dying, hovering between this life and the next, it’s...

What was it with evildoers trying to hire my boyfriend as a mercenary?

And here I thought they were called Peeping Toms.” I didn’t need to see him to know he wore a smile. “Stop laughing,” I said, my cheeks hot with humiliation. “Get me down.””Jump.””What?””I’ll catch you.””Are...

Tacos.””Tacos?” I echoed.This seemed to amuse him. “Tomatoes, lettuce, cheese.””I know what a taco is!

I might have gone overboard.”I walked into the kitchen, with gleaming stainless-steel appliances, black granite countertops, and walnut cabinetry. Very masculine, very sleek. I went for the fridge first. Water bottles, spinach and arugula, mushrooms,...

Keep in mind that people change, but the past doesn’t.

Did I really want to stay on this road longer, knowing it was only going to end in devastation?

Jev stroked his chin. “Do I look like a summer fling?

I believe in destiny Angel. I believe every choice I’ve made has brought me closer to you. I looked for you for a very long time. I may have fallen from heaven, but I fell...

You’re scared of what you can’t control

It isn’t about love,” Vee said. “It’s about fun.

When was the last time you were kissed?” he went on easily. “And I’m not talking about the dry, noncommittal, meaningless kiss you forget about as soon as it’s over.” I scrambled out of my...

There was nothing wrong with fire … as long as you didn’t stand too close. Something to keep in mind.

Patch leaned back against the booth and arched his eyebrows at me. The gesture said it all: Pay up.”You got lucky,” I said. “I’m about to get lucky.

Don’t blame me. Tell your mom to move closer. Tell her there’s this new club called civilization and you guys should join.

I gave up something I wanted for something I need. And I need you, Angel.

I don’t go out with strangers,” I said.”Good thing I do. I’ll pick you up at five.

Are you gloating inside? That’s what this is about, isn’t it? Getting me to trust you so you could blow it up in my face!” […]”I get that you’re angry—,” said Patch.”I am ripped apart!”...

Just because I’ve gone and snagged myself a hot boyfriend doesn’t mean I’m going to leave my bestfriend high and dry.

I turned my face up to his. I could hardly look at him the same way. I was crying without realizing I’d started. “You made a deal with Hank. You saved my life. Why would...

If I’d wanted you dead five minutes ago, you’d have died five minutes ago.

I missed you, Angel. Not one day went by that I didn’t feel you missing from my life. You haunted me to the point that I began to believe Hank had gone back on his...

What about you?” I kept my voice carefully indifferent. He flashed me a cold smile, sharp at the edges. “Worried about me?” Because I couldn’t think of anything snide to say, I stuck my tongue...

You sound worked up. Really worked up. No, that’s not it. You sound agitated…flustered…aroused.” I could feel her eyes widen. “He kissed you, didn’t he?”No answer.”He did! I knew it! I’ve seen the way he...

I tilted my chin up a fraction. “You can’t f-force me to stay here.” I’d only agreed to come this far because I didn’t want to stand out in the downpour, for one, and I...

Go ahead. You’re not going to walk in on anyone. I’m home alone.””The whole night?”Immediately, I realized it might not have been the smartest thing to say. “Dorothea will be coming soon.” That was a...

We don’t have to go back to my place, Angel. I can take you home, if that’s what you want. Or, if you decide you want to sleep at my place, on opposite sides of...

You’re a guardian angel now.” I was still too much in awe to wrap my mind around it, but at the same time I felt amazement, curiosity…happiness.”I’m your guardian angel,” he said.”I get my very...

But if I hadn’t fallen, I wouldn’t have met you.

I saw you, and I wanted to be close to you. I wanted you to let me in. I wanted to know you in a way no one else did. I wanted you, all of...

Only downside to your place is the disturbing low amount of extraneous toiletries. No conditioner? Lip gloss? Sunscreen?” I jerked my thumb toward the front door. “I need to brush my teeth. And I need...

His smile was sexy and warned of trouble, but I’d made up my mind that not all trouble was bad.

I loved you long before you loved me. It’s the only thing I have you beat at, and I’ll bring it up every chance I get.

If I had known things would turn out this way, I would have trained harder. I would have learned to take care of myself. But I guess that’s the point, isn’t it? You never know...
