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....

Scared, Angel?

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

Me Jev, you Nora.

We still have a lot to talk about,” I said. “Talk?” He shook his head, his eyes full of desire. Kiss, he whispered to my thoughts.

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.

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

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

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...

But strength doesn’t always mean brute force. You don’t have to kick ass to be a fighter. Violence doesn’t equal strength.

Hang on, did you just call me Angel?” I asked.”If I did?””I don’t like it.”He grinned. “It stays, Angel.

I love you more than I think I should.

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.

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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

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!”...

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.

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...

Every time you strip my sword, I owe you a kiss. How’s that sound?” I bit my lip to keep from giggling. “That sounds really dirty.” Patch waggled his brows. “Look whose mind just rolled...

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

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...

Ready?”Despite the grim mood, I smiled and cracked my knuckles. “Ready to wrestle with my gorgeous boyfriend? Oh, I’d say I’m ready for that.”Amusement softened his eyes. “I’ll try to control where I put my...

I needed him like I’d never needed anyone.

If you haven’t guessed it already,” I said, something fervent and resonating slipping into my tone, “I need you, too.””Is that a yes?” he asked, pushing his fingers through my hair, fanning it out around...

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...

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.
