Hell,” he said, looking down his body. “I shouldn’t have thought about that just yet. Now Alice is going to come out of the bathroom and see you standing there being demanding. That’s not very...

His laughter echoed through my mind. I have a beautiful woman in my arms, and am taking her back to my home, where she and I will be alone and able to indulge whatever fantasies...

… you’ve experienced the single scene out there – it’s blood test and background checks and references and ‘Please pee in this cup before we can go on a date’ screenings, all clinical and stripped...

Do they expect us to have sex right here on the kitchen table?”Gunner, who was chewing a piece of toast, paused, considered the idea, and then shook his head. “Too messy. We’d get sugar everywhere....

I have a hat for it, actually.” Elliott made a vague gesture with one hand. “Well, it’s more of a full-body suit, really.””Is that a euphemism for a condom?””No.” He marched past me and lay...

You think I’m deranged! How refreshing. Everyone here takes me so seriously, it’s a wonderful change to be thought mentally deficient.

…my soul bleeding tears of anguish

He flashed a grin over his shoulder at me. “Ready to be astounded?”I eyed him. “You’re not going to drop your trousers and demand I admire your gorgeous testicles, are you?””Not after you disparaged their...

I’m immortal! Doesn’t that mean I won’t get saggy boobs and gray hair? Because if it doesn’t mean that, I want a refund—

You are such a stick-in-the-mud sometimes, you know that?” My annoyance faded. Elliott, poor man, truly believe what he was saying. He thought life was better when it was organized and structured until all the...

You took a bath without me?”I smiled to myself at the accusation in his voice.

My heart sobbed a lament that was hard to ignore.

I have a bra on,” I said helpfully.”I noticed. Might I remove that, too?””Gunner,” I said sternly, or as sternly as a person could while she stood in a man’s castle, her hands full of...

Do you want me to ride you like a rented mule, or do you prefer to be Mr. Missionary Position? I’m fine with wither, so it doesn’t matter to me.

Even if I was looking for a man, and I’m certainly not that stupid, he would be off the table. He’s friend to a rat bastard.” It was just a shame, too. How many bona...

I don’t like this.””I know you don’t, my little spaetzel. But I am too worn out to run from both the police and your murderous twin, and Damian’s looking peaky, plus Christian did apologize for...

You’re handsome and you have a nice accent, and a chest that would make a nun perspire.

Roxy, stop being so obnoxious!” -Joy”I’m never obnoxious; I’m just concerned.” -Roxy

I’m wondering why I thought it was a good idea to fill my purse with eggs.”He blinked at me.I pulled a cold, flabby fried egg from mny bag, followed by its twin, holding them up...

Well, possibly,” I said, feeling my lips twitch again. “But maybe first you would tell us why you chose to manifest yourself in the form of Shirley Temple as last seen on the ‘Good Ship...

Are you one of those fifty-shades-of-bondage people? I haven’t been into that in the past, but I might be willing to try with you. Although I would want to be the one to do the...

Yes, he is a man, so genetically he’s engineered to be dense about many things, but he’s not stupid.

I would totally support a pond scene like the one in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, but only if you were stripped first.”He slid her a glance out of the corner of his eye. She was giving...

I ground my teeth. “Just when I thought I was getting a handle on this whole Dark One/demon lord/imp thing, you go and throw knockers into the mix. I’m going to have to request that...

I’m sure nothing more exciting will happen beyond finding some Roman ruins beneath the pasture,” Gunner predicted, an excellent example of why he would never be called psychic in any understanding of the word.

Oooh, dinner and a show! How come you never take us to dinner and a show?”He smiled at Roxy. “I would spend the entire evening fending off the hordes of your admirers.”She fanned herself and...

I don’t know whether to be pleased that our lovemaking was of such a high quality that you immediately want more, or if it’s an indication you are one of those sex-addicted people who are...

Saer is a great big poop, and you shouldn’t listen to anything he says,” I said, panting just a little.”Obviously, he was trying to demoralize me.””Men who are poops demoralize people all the time,” I...

I have to say that you’re the last person I’d have expected would have a seventeen-year-old daughter. You’re so…” Alice stopped, suddenly looking guilty.”Dashing?” Gunner supplied. “Debonair?””A bit of a dawg, actually.

Honest to god, Clare, you act like the dress is more important than you being shot!”Of course it is! It’s a Versace, you idiot! Bring help! I’m going to save this dress at all costs.”...

…I was enjoying conducting highly charged sexual banter with you.””As was I, although if we continue along that line, you’re going to make it extremely painful for me to walk. Shall we cool down our...

In the center of the room Sarra the demon hung upside down by one leg, its arms bound behind its back, its suit scuffed-looking. Beneath it, crawling around an intricately scribed circle, a woman with...

Gunner Ainslie made a face at his sister-in-law. “‘Amateur’ is a bit rough, Alice. I took a degree in archaeology, after all.”She looked even more confused. “Then why are you a photographer now instead of...

You think I am very cute, you think me sexy, as well. I can read your thoughts, remember.” I hoisted myself up and slid across his body. You are conceited, arrogant, and domineering, everything I...

…There’s a bit of a difference between a guy lying back being all sexy and come hither and mmrowr-worthy, and a man who has a toy stuffed parrot hanging from his nips.

We have had this discussion before. You are my son. I love you. I will always love you. But I also love Nell, and if you give her the chance and stop rejecting her advances,...

Elliot – Elliot waved absently, making a decision right then and there. He’d take the trip that Patrick offered. A cruise down Europe’s most famous rivers couldn’t be any more disruptive than home, after all.Alice...

I should warn you, I’m an expert on vampires. I’ve seen every episode made of Buffy, Angel, and Forever Knight, so don’t think a little fang-flashing is going to scare me.” – Nell to AdrianOh,...

Are you going to last if I start nibbling at your ankles and work my way up?””No. You might make it to my knee, but only if I think about starving children and venereal warts.

Aryans?” I asked, thinking I must have heard the word incorrectly.Christian and Allie nodded.”Aryans as in white supremacist, those sorts of Aryans?””Yes,” Christian said.”Neo-Nazis?” My mind was having a hard time grasping the idea of...

It could have been quite worse,” he agreed magnanimously.”And those two guys who felt up your butt while the maintenance dude was working on that hinge were kicked out because they violated the ‘must have...

I am a wyvern, I am strong. I will control my needs long enough to give you pleasure, and you will enjoy it, dammit!”I said nothing, but I smiled. A lot. [May and Gabriel, pg....

Geez, what do I need to do, use semaphore? I told you I was unclaimed.

Stop lusting after my brother, wife.” Elliott said without looking up from where a laptop sat on a large desk. “Else I’ll have to get the parrot out.
