Romance

"I think I could spend an eternity with you, Killian, and never tire of hearing you speak to me."

"By God, Lainna, have you truly no notion how badly I want you, then"Oh, but did you not once tell me the anticipation is half the pleasure of it?"

"In truth, I doubt I'd notice if a herd of giant Irish elk stomped through the entire chamber when I'm in the act of lovin' you, Lainna!"

"I've no plans to couple with anyone other than my new bride for the next century or so, and it feels as though it's takin' a century to get to it!"

"Our place is here, our time is now!" Killian firmly declared."

"Keep your wits about you, Killian O'Brien, for you'll be no good to anyone if your head lies apart from the rest of your body!"

"Alainn, it is no herb that has made me so entirely insatiable, 'tis just being with you."

"I may not have journeyed to other lands, but a trip through the fairy glade is a journey few others have taken, and fewer still have spoken of. I will look forward to taking you with me, Killian. You will see why I always feel the need to return."He was not remotely certain he would ever share her sentiments."

"She’s into authentic hearts and mind shattering conversations. Good music and quirky art. Weirdness and eccentric people. Love, kindness and genuine souls. She’s into all this and so much more."

"Emerging from the next chalet in the row was a young woman, probably mid-twenties he guessed, about medium height and build, with dark brown bobbed hair. She was clutching an arm full of books and a cup of coffee. That he had taken all this in, in a single glance, was remarkable. As he had simultaneously taken the fact, she was absolutely naked…“Good morning Miss!” “Miss? I never call anyone Miss! She could be married! A radical feminist! And I have just insulted her! I should have said Mizz, or Mam’, Oh God!” The thoughts raced through Addy’s panic-stricken mind. “There has been a spot of trouble at the clubhouse.” Professional, act professional. “I am making a few enquiries, I’d like to come back and ask you a few questions when …” Professional, you’re a professional, Man up! “… When you have … got yourself sorted out.” Phew!!"

"Tis both a blessing a and a curse to desire a man in a physical manner."

"Half the pleasure is in the anticipatin' of it."

"You were so intent on what your purpose would be. I remember it nearly word for word."Recite it for me then, my Lainna."She smiled a warm, soft smile, and her eyes filled with light."You would waken in your bedchamber with your lady beside you..."

"I was feeling like I was floating two inches above the sidewalk every step of the way. Feeling, almost, a magnetic pull back towards her and I wondered at all, if she felt it too."

"You are every missing part of me."

"What I know about love, I can write on the head of a matchstick."

"There is safety in numbness– there is solace in sleep."

"She remembered dating. She remembered feeling excited and reveling in the unknown. Dating was like hopscotch for giants. An adult game that made the heart jump instead of the feet. A game she used to enjoy."

"The dreams that surfaced upon meeting up with him again winked out of existence, stars darkening for good."

"This date had started as bland and was speeding right along to abysmal."
