Please. Put the gun down and we’ll talk. A beautiful woman holding a small cannon plays hell with my concentration. Christovao (Chris) Santos, Sanctuary

Is it possible for one to enter sleep and wander while never waking? And if so, for how long can one survive this way?

You know, Savannah, if you cry, I won’t tell anyone,’ Ken said quietly. ‘I promise.

She wanted to know what it was like to be completely possessed by this man. Instead of scaring her, the thought sent the most erotic thrill racing through her. If she was stupid enough to...

Sophie clutched Grant tighter. ‘I don’t know what screwed-up messages from your family are floating around in your head right now, but you’re staying right here.

This is what I love to see–different branches of law enforcement at each other’s throats. It gives the bad guys the head start they need, which in turn gives us all job security.

He wanted to paddle her himself, then shake her, then sit her down in a chair and explain to her why she must never, ever get herself in a situation where she could be shot...

You’re not safe with me.”He cut me off, seeming to growl. “I don’t want to be safe. I want to be with you. You can’t do this alone.

That’s actually kind of scary. Sex with a mime. Do I have to pay extra to make sure you don’t do the trapped-in-a-box thing while we’re doing it?

Nine people had died today. And it didn’t matter what the FBI had thought of her actions. Her career as a negotiator had ended before it had even begun.

You’ve been drinking. Let’s go before I become the asshole prick you think I am.

Okay, more disclosure. I’m not a fugitive at the moment, but I might become one. I don’t know if I’m going back for a trial. I can’t go to prison and leave the twins alone....

It doesn’t matter. I love you. That’s it. That’s all. I hope to hell it’s enough.

Iris arched her back, pushing her breast farther into Wyatt’s hungry mouth. Water from the giant marble-tiled hotel shower rushed down over them, the sound of it hitting the glass door seeming loud in the...

Pervert,” she muttered.He grinned, liking the camaraderie between them, as if part of that wall she’d erected had been knocked down.

The shock of orgasm pulls you under the wave you never saw coming. It wrestles you to the point of exhaustion and allows you to breathe only when you’ve died la petite mort. When you’ve...

He ran his thumb over my lower lip, sending a flurry of sparks through me. “Good-bye, Sophie.” -Cal

All he’d done was lose her underwear and practically get her blown up.Hell. This had to be the absolute worst first date of her life.

First of all, I’m not a ‘military type.’ Second, I never proclaimed to be a gentleman of any kind. I just like the facts straight up. There’s no bullshit to wade through to get to...

I put fear into the eyes of a member of the Mafia. I’m doing well, she thought, now keep him scared.

People snare when I tell them that I’m an emotional prostitute. But after my rebuttal, they begin to realize that they are one too. Like me, they have pimped their emotions for the affections of...

Hands still in the air, Jordan reached back and gently caressed her cheek. Dying for this woman would be no hardship. He’d die a thousand times over if it would take away her pain.Since he...

I think I love you, Bennett. Probably not relevant at the moment so no need to say thanks.

She flew into his arms. Held on tight as he swung her off her feet and hugged her so hard it hurt. She didn’t care. She didn’t want him to ever let go.

Sunny – If you can explain yourself before someone kicks your ass, count your blessings and give some thought to going back to the priesthood.Nick – I would, but now-a-days that vow of chastity might...

SWAT is already on its way. I’ll be at your position in about ten minutes. SWAT should arrive in about fifteen to twenty.”[Javier:] “I’ll have her by then.

Something was in her mouth. Sami’s tongue slid along the edges of something plastic. Flat, low ridges, holes-an adjustable strap. A baseball cap? Another taste. Hair spray. Gross. Someone had stuffed her baseball cap in...

And maybe that is exactly what happened…he walked away and never woke up…

Savannah, I’ve been talking my ass off for more than an hour now, telling you shit no one’s ever heard anything about, hoping that I’ll say something, Jesus God, anything that will convince you to...

I am threatened by the resolve that you are my soul. You are my being, you are every breath I take, you are my home, you are my sweet sin.

Well?” he prompted, toying with the elastic of her leggings. “What should we do with these pants, Bailey?”One teasing stroke of his fingers over her belly, and a breath shuddered out of her lungs.”Take them...

She turned on the radio. Christmas music filled the car. She turned it off with a groan.”It’s not going to turn you into an elf if you listen,” he promised and liked the smile that...
