He took the spatula and smiled, and she headed for the bedroom, only stopping once to see if he was watching her ass wiggle under his shirt.He chuckled. “I’d have to be dead not to look.”“I’m glad to see you’re in good health.” She grinned.
You’re not in this alone anymore. I’m not going anywhere, and if you’ll let me, I’ve got broad shoulders for you to lean on whenever you need me.
When you can inspire a muse, you’ve got it going on.
My father’s corporation, the Nero Organization, supplied assassins for hire. Killing was our business, and business had been good for years.
I could shoot you in the foot.””Please do. At least then I wouldn’t have to endure this sock humiliation any longer.
You should’ve mentioned you were bringing a beautiful woman. I would’ve combed my hair.
The wolf demands her mate. But the woman loathes the man.
He brought up both hands to hold my face. “I would die for you, Isabelle.””No.” I shook my head. “Live for me.
She didn’t warn you about me?” “Should she have?” Erica finished her drink, relishing the burn in her belly and the flush of heat in her cheeks as she nodded “Definitely.” His gaze smoldered. “It’s a good thing danger is my calling, then.
He shook his head, a smile tugging at his lips. “Two hours isn’t going to be enough time.” She grinned, rocking her hips. “We’d better make it count.
Flirting and foreplay came easy to Erica. Before she’d turned twenty, Erato awakened inside her. Erato was the Greek Muse of Lyrics… and Erotic Poetry. She had a gift for inspiring passion.
Do they send all of you jaguars through some elitist asshole training course?
We weren’t allies, but not being enemies was close enough for me.
He kissed my lips, his skin warm in spite of the cool winter wind whipping past us. His whisper would have been lost on me before, but now I heard every word. “What do you want, Raven?
The vortex. You can see the entire galaxy up there. More stars than you ever knew existed.
Everything okay?”“I’m not sure, but it’s not shittier, so that’s something.”She laughed. “Still an optimist.
For the record…” I took her hand and held it up. “These are the only hands I want on me.
He crossed his arms over his chest, “I don’t get why you push everyone away.””This isn’t the time to talk about this.””Should I set up an office visit?
He shook his head. “Those waves are begging us to ride them. Talking can wait.
I thought when you finally kissed me, I’d be able to walk away.” He shook his head, his voice lowering to a throaty whisper. “I was dead wrong.
Hunter walked out of the waves, and without any pretense, he wrapped her in his arms. She looked up at him, her eyes searing his.He bent his head lower, his voice a raspy whisper. “I’ve never met anyone like you.
Man…” He blew out an exasperated breath. “Do you push everyone away this hard, or is it just me?
He pressed his lips to her shoulder, whispering along her soft skin, “I’m right where I want to be.
If we’re not naked soon, I’m going to lose my fucking mind.
That kiss…””You’ve already given me better than I’ve ever had.
She covered his hand with hers over her abdomen. His was so much bigger than hers and had probably fired guns, rifles, and god knew what else, but right here, right now, his tenderness broke down her will as sure as any grenade.
I love surfing, but —” his gaze wandered over the thin sheet covering her body before he met her eyes again ” — no wave could ever compete with you.
She kissed his chest. “Thanks for letting me into your heart.” He tucked her hair behind her ear. “You walked in like you had a key.
The nine Greek Muses, awakened again for this generation of man and meant to inspire mankind forward in the sciences and the arts.
Why don’t you come with me to the station? We can talk, and I’ll treat you to a bad cup of coffee.” “You make it sound pretty tempting.
A digital wall of masks stared back at him. His finger rolled the mouse in a slow downward scroll. “Okay, you bastard. Where are you?
I straddled his lap and sank onto him so slowly I almost lost it. Each inch of him filled my already sensitive body. Nose to nose with him, I whispered. “You come with me.’His mouth curved into a wicked smile. “Happily.
She haunts my dreams.Shadows of the past.Ripping my heart down the seams.No one to blame but me.I’m a lone wolf now, but I still stare up at the moon, Call her name and wonder if she’s looking too…
Make me howl, make me scream,Things are never what they seem.Lay me out, end the pain,Now I’ll never be the same.Deep inside, there I cry,Yet you still just pass me by.Can’t you see, this is me,And I’m Howling! I’m Howling! I’m Howling!
I have no clue what happened to my best friend, the one who played with me on the playground when no one else would. But this Logan…” She gestured from my shoes on up. “This Logan can kiss my ass.
You made me feel like I was the most important person in the world to you, and then you showed me I never really mattered at all.” I stood up. “I hate you for that, Log
She shook her head, her smile fading a little. “I forget you’re a rock star now. To me, you’re just Logan.”I took her hand. “That’s all I want to be.
You want to prove you never stopped loving me?” She got up and stared down at me. “Start by trusting me with the truth.
I ordered a hot chocolate and Chandler got a black coffee. He smiled over at me. “Still no love for coffee?”I shook my head. “Nah, why have bitter and gross when I can have sweet and delicious?
Come closer.” His voice was more of a growl than a whisper. Hot.
His deep voice rumbled. “You are all that ever mattered to me.
Kissing her mouth, I plunged deep inside of her. I shivered and it had nothing to do with the cool breeze coming through the windows. Her body was made for me. Perfect. And I wanted this moment to last forever.
I stared down into her eyes, my voice barely a whisper. “If I stay here any longer, I’m not going to be able to stop myself from kissing you.
I put what was left of the ice cube into my mouth. Her lips parted, watching my every move. I didn’t hesitate, diving back in to feed on my mate, my tongue cooling the fire and heating her desire all at once.
You’ve got an empire to run, I’m just your arm candy.
I’d kiss you if I could,” I whispered. Jared’s breath caressed my skin. “I have other shirts.” I smiled and kissed him.
It’s about your mom.” “She’s not mad at your again, is she?” “No.” I set the drill aside. “”In fact, I wanted to ask you for your permission to court your mom.” “You’re taking her to court?
I’m a pretty patient guy when it’s something worth waiting for.
I’m not hurting you?” He shook his head with a crooked, very sexy smile. “Not yet.
She stepped back, staring up into my eyes. “You’ve given me hope.” She ran her hand up my chest. “I don’t know how to thank you for that.”I grinned. “You can start by taking my calls.
A shard of glass cut my belly as I slid into the battered SUV, but I managed to keep the family jewels intact. I’d be counting every small victory tonight.
My pulse pounded in my ears, heat smoldering deep in my belly. I’d never been so tempted. “This is a dangerous game.
Jason lifted me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist. His forehead rested against mine. “I’ve never liked dancing.” He started to sway with the music and the tide, turning us slowly. “But maybe I just never had the right partner.
Her dark eyes sparkled in the sunlight as she stared up at me. “You are a moon child. She calls to you.
I buried my fingers in her thick, silky hair. Her teeth brushed my neck, her scent filling my lungs, and I tightened my grip, growling against her ear. “Dream come true.
You’re playing dirty,” she whispered. “Did you want me any other way?
Against my mouth she groaned. “I hate being quiet.” A breathless chuckled escaped me. “Me too. Once we’re home…” “Lots of noise.
Foreboding, and an all too familiar lack of control, roiled in my gut. My opponent might be hungry for a win, but I was famished. Something in my life would be a victory. Sorry Shark, I wasn’t going down tonight. No chance. – Jason Ayers
He ran his fingers along the edge of my jaw. “You’re my north star, Kilani. Being near you makes my heart, my soul, and my wolf whole for the first time in my life.
I should’ve let her walk right out the door, but something about Nadya made it tough for me to be the asshole I wanted to be.
No room in my world for drama, and the last thing I needed was more death. This beautiful woman would bring me both.
A single doctor, with the body of a Greek god, sat across from me at a candlelit table, and all I could think about was a greasy-fingered motorcycle mechanic.I refrained from smacking my own forehead.
He’d watched the world change around him, civilizations rise and fall, and although he could have anything, anyone, he wanted her.
He took her hand. If it were in my power, I would take you to that place from your movie, over the rainbow where dreams come true. But all I can offer is myself, and I’m not going anywhere.
My nerves were wrapped so tight I could explode at any second. Some jaguar reciting poetry was not helping. “Just tell me which way to go, Shakespeare.
I am many things. Stupid is not one of them. Your wrath is impressive for a mortal.
You made it clear you did not want to discuss the past with him. I followed through on your request.”“By beating him senseless?”Calisto looked at Tom, then back to her. “Perhaps he never had any sense to begin with.
I have never, since the dawn of mankind, been adorable.
He’d given up his mortality, his soul, for this moment, this second chance, and if she fell in love with him again, he needed to know it was real.
This time, I wanted to enjoy the passion that burned between us until we were both about to combust.
The cut under his eye and the split skin on his lower lip only enhanced his profile. He didn’t look defeated. He looked like a fighter. A champion.
Trying to second-guess Tegan was like trying to track a tornado. A tornado he had no business chasing.
She’d die before she let that demon touch her again. But maybe that was his plan all along.
If she expected me to apologize she was going to be sorely disappointed.I’d never be sorry for kissing her.
Being with her was near impossible.But being without her… I didn’t want to think about it. — Aren from Hunter’s Moon
I didn’t have a great grasp of what guys considered a “come hither” look, so maybe I gave him one. I’d thought it was a “leave me the hell alone” look, but who knew. ~ Lana from Moonlight
He finally had a reason to live, just in time to die.
She tasted like run, root beer, and something wild he couldn’t place, but it didn’t matter. He wanted more. Craved it.
First rule of a pirate’s mate, keep yer eye on yer destination, not yer doom.
If you could see your whole life laid out before you, there’d be no reason to live it, right?
I thought you only had eyes for your ship.” God, she was beautiful. “Until I met you.
She smiled, and his dead heart warmed. One smile would never be enough.
If you simply write him off as the god of sacrifice and nothing more, then you are way off the mark. He’s got more courage, integrity, and heart than anyone I’ve ever met.
A week ago, he would’ve sank his fangs into her flesh without a second thought. But now? Muriah had lured him into her world, into her reality, not as a god, but as a partner, a man.
Her soft lips met mine over and over, scorching my soul as she gradually pulled back. “If I had known werewolves were such great kissers, I would’ve found one much sooner.
I wish I could stop time and keep you out of danger.She turned and placed a kiss on the palm of his hand.Without the danger, we never would have met.
Solving crimes is like following a spider web. Everything is connected in some way. It’s just figuring out where things intersect so I can find the spider in the middle.
He rested his head on top of mine and whispered, “I’m warning you now. I’m a horrible patient.” I smiled in spite of myself and pulled back. “Of course you are. That’s why you’re a doctor.
