“What if I told you that you occupy my every waking thought? That I dream about you at night? And that you feature in my darkest, dirtiest dreams? What then?”

“I whisper, What do I need?Release. That one word scrapes across my nerves and lights me on fire. His deep voice dances on the air, murmuring hotly, You need someone who will take all of your though...”

“I like to be in charge. I like to guide my bedmate, push her to her limits, expand her horizons. My pleasure comes from the power she gives me to decide how to bring her pleasure. My pleasure comes...”

“Last night he made it very clear that he wants me.And, god help me, I want him too.”

“Hes everything I could want but never dreamed I could have.”

“I wont ask you for anything you arent willing to give me, he croons. And I promise youll enjoy it. Do you want to play?Theres no question. Yes. Yes, I do.”

“She was an idiot. An adorable, gorgeous, feisty, funny, sweet, sexy idiot.”

“Did you miss me?A little bit, she said with a shrug.You have tears running down your cheeks, he said with a grin. I think you missed me more than a little.”

“I don't know what the future holds. I only know that I want to be with you. You and me. Everything else is negotiable.”

“What if I told you that you occupy my every waking thought? That I dream about you at night? And that you feature in my darkest, dirtiest dreams? What then?”

“I wont ask you for anything you arent willing to give me, he croons. And I promise youll enjoy it. Do you want to play?Theres no question. Yes. Yes, I do.”

“He laughed, a big, open-mouthed laugh that made her think of words beginning with the letter O.”

“Every great love starts with a great story...”

“I knew, in the silence that followed, that anything could happen here. It might be too late: again, I might have missed my chance. But I would at least know I tried, that I took my heart and extend...”

“You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.”
