Romance

"You were kidnapped not"I was kidnapped."You were forced not into marriage"I was forced into marriage."You want not an annulment"I want not an annulment."

"You, me---we're not the same, but we---our lives---somehow fit together."

"I want to bask deeply in the taste of his blood, in that flowing crimson filled with his feelings melted in it..."

"I undid the wrappings with great curiosity, for Holmes did not normally give gifts. I opened the dark velvet jewller's box and found inside a shiny new set of picklocks, a younger version of his own. "Holmes, ever the romantic. Mrs. Hudson would be pleased."

"Wahrscheinlich werde ich jede Nacht von dir träumen", sagte er. "Und wenn ich aufwache, weiß ich, dass der beste Teil des Tages schon vorbei ist."Das hast du irgendwo gelesen."Hab ich nicht."

"To quote French author Francois Mauriac, 'Tell me what you read and I'll tell you who your are' is true enough, but I'd know you better if you told me what you reread."

"One day, Kaname's lips will lightly touch this neck of yours, and slowly, Kaname's teeth will sink in... If you hear the sound of Kaname drinking your own blood, Yuki-chan, then, for sure, you'll feel ecstasy."

"the unexpected moment [is] always sweeter."

"Wait a minute,” Sandra said, sounding skeptical. “You were really stuck?”Things were starting to get worse. Her mouth dropped open and she began to laugh—the kind of laugh that would have been music to his ears if she were laughing with him and not at him. Things were definitely worse."

"Unbidden, Unwelcome, Yet unable to resist, I entered a stranger's life"

"FYI, women think glasses are a sign of brains, and also, they're sexy."

"Love me for stupid reasons,I like those most."

"The divorce papers remained unopened in the crisp yellow envelope. He had thrown it on his desk without a backward glance. Between his lashes, his dark chocolate eyes burned with fury but there was something else in the depths that she hadn’t seen in a long time, passion."

"Never let other people bring you down let Jesus be the one who brings you down, because he knows what he is doing"

"He suggested devils, skulls, harsh masculine drawings. This thing was…heart poundingly good. She wanted to pluck it, and bury her face in it, and keep it in a vase by her bedside."

"Hey Kate, you coming to our show Friday night" He leaned in close and touched my shoulder. "The guys would love to see you there."Yes. Yes, the guys would indeed." Carter rolled his eyes and smirked. I held back my grin, well aware that he was laughing inwardly at the same thing I was. When Dean spoke of 'the guys,' he mostly meant himself. With a body like a Ken doll and hair like Meredith's Mc Dreamy, I couldn't figure out for the life of me what he wanted with me."

"Just that one word—sound—sent a strong answering pulse through her body. His tongue curled around syllables that weren’t there, like a promise. This is what you’ll get, if you just let me hear."

"Well, in the meantime, Carter and I have been discussing the matter of Ryan." This time it wasn't the clang of a pan I heard, but instead a messy smack--the contact of Carter's backhand with Dean's head, I presumed. "Just hear me out. You have options. I have an Italian uncle. He'll make sure Ryan is sleeping with the fishes by next week."Dean!" Unable to repress my amusement, my eyes flew wide and my grin grew."Either that, or we can go all Sweeney Todd on him and--"Oh, will you stop" My laughter was crippling. "There will be no calls to your uncle and no trip to the barber shop--please, leave Sweeney Todd out of it."

"His voice sounded like molten metal. As if he had something thick at the back of his throat and it was making him sound deeper and richer than he actually was."

"I better go," Carter squeezed me once more and stood, grabbing his wallet from the coffee table. "I need to hit up the lottery if I want to get you out of this mess. Will you let me buy a monkey if we win, though"Only if you buy me an island off the coast of Fiji."You crazy-ass woman. A monkey is so much cooler than an island."How about a monkey IN Fiji"Now there's a woman after my own heart," Carter slapped his hand to his chest, sighing dramatically. "I'll let you know if we win." He started for the door."Uh huh."You'll know if we do. I'll be the one streaking on Pike Street."
