I was terrified of what might have happened to you,” I choked out. “I was terrified thinking the same about you.””The devilcraft-” I began. Patch exhaled beneath me, and my body dipped with his. His...

Scared, Angel?

Stay with me tonight. Let me hold you even if that’s all it is. Let me keep you safe.

I don’t want to be here when my latest work of accidental art is discovered.

The problem with human attraction is not knowing if it will be returned.

Anything was better than nothing. Half-full was better than empty. Ignorance was the lowest form of humiliation and suffering.

You’re mine, Angel, and don’t you forget it. Your fights are my fights. What if something bad had happened today? It was bad enough when I thought your ghost was haunting me; I don’t think...

Pero si la elección que tengo que tomar, se reduce a elegir entre tú o yo, te escojo a ti. Siempre te he escogido.

I needed him like I’d never needed anyone.

jerk.smokes cigars.will die of lung cancer,hopefully soon.excellent physical shape.

I don’t have the body for this,” I quipped, lifting my chin to a voluptous woman nearby who shook her hips zealously to the beat. “No curves.”Jev’s eyes held mine. “Are you asking my opinion?

I have a free couple of hours,” I told him, walking toward my car, which was parked on the next block. “There’s a very private, very secluded barn in Lookout Hill Park behind the carousel....

Say ‘provoking’ again. Your mouth looks provocative when you do.

This isn’t your fight, Patch,” I said quietly.His eyes burned with an intensity I’d never seen before. “You’re mine, Angel, and don’t you forget it. Your fights are my fights. What if something had happened...

Don’t make me regret this,” I said, breathless.”You haven’t regretted me once.

She’ll kill me if she finds you in here. Can you climb trees? Tell me you can climb a tree!”Patch grinned, “I can fly.

Sometimes bad things have to happen before good things can.

Try to relax. Sometimes the best offense is a good defense.

Honey, he looks slippery as soap.”And then adds, “A girl could lather up in soap like that.

I would lay down everything I possess, even my soul, for you. If that isn’t love, it’s the best I have.

reading a good book in silence is like eating chocolate for the rest of your life and never getting fat.

Patch’s eyes made a slow assessment of me, sharpening to vivid black. “I’m going to have a hard time sending you off with Scott in that dress. Just a heads-up: If you come home and...

My mom’s coming home soon,” I said. “We should go to your place.”Patch ran a hand across the shadow of stubble along his jaw. “I have rules about who I take there.” I was getting...

You possess other people’s…bodies.”He accepted that statement with a nod.”Do you want to possess my body?””I want to do a lot of things to your body, but that’s not one of them.

I take that back. Let’s stick with Grey.

He was abominable…and the most alluring, tortured soul I’d ever met.

You’re mine, Angel. Every last piece of you. I won’t let anything change that.

I couldn’t escape him, now or ever. He’d always be there, consuming my every thought, my heart locked in his hands. I was drawn to him by forces I couldn’t control, let alone escape.

I’ve missed you,Angel. I dod not spent a day without missing you in my life. I became obsessed to the point I thought Hank had backed off of his oath and had killed you. I...

Do you want to posses my body?-“I want to do many things to your body but that’s not one of them

I know I can’t feel your touch, but I feel your love, Nora. Inside me. It means everything to me. I wish I could feel you the same wayyou feel me, but I have your...

Nothing makes me happy quite like a boatload of freshly fried fast food, smothered in good old MSG.

If I asked you to do something for me, I don’t suppose you’d listen?” When he had my attention, he continued, “I’m going to take you home. Try to forget tonight happened. Try to act...

Patch tipped my chin up. “If I could make this go away, I would. If I could stand in your place, I wouldn’t hesitate. But I’m left with one choice, and that’s to stand by...

Fine! I’ll throw on some clothes. Turn around. I’m in my pj’s””I’m a guy. That’s like asking a kid not to glance at the candy counter.

I could get you to smile like that, and without sales tax.” I whirled around to find the real Patch standing in the fitting room behind me. He was wearing jeans and a snug white...

I’m doing boy detox. Like a diet, only for my emotional health.

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...
