If she simply stayed in the country she would never have to see him again. Viscount Rohan was notoriously unmoved by the countryside, avoiding it at all costs. If she could just convince Lina to remov...
I say a stream leading into a pond, where we can have swans and ducks and absolutely no geese, and we’ll live very happily, two old-maid sisters. I do think we should have cats, a great many of them....
I don't love you, he said. And he pulled her into his arms and kissed her, a kiss of passion and desperation, a kiss of deepcurrents and longing. I don't love you, he said again.Of course you don't, s...
He'd reached the door, then stopped for a moment, looking back at Elinor, staring at her.Master Francis... Mrs. Clarke said in a warning tone.I just wanted to take a last glance at her exquisite feet...
He wasn't marrying her. Even if she'd have him, which she certainly wouldn't, he had no intention of leg-shackling himself to such a difficult woman. She's always be racing off to save some new stray...
He was a man who fucked in silence. And when he climaxed, long, hard, endlessly, inside her tight body, he heard his voice in the darkness. Calling her name.
He tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her toward him in the darkness. He knew exactly how she’d respond, her other hand coming up to push him away, her hand touching the bare, hot skin of his c...
He halted abruptly, and this time she did slam into him, but at least it was his back absorbing the blow of her soft body. He could pretend to ignore it. What have you got on your feet? he growled.Sho...
A strange stillness had settled over him, as well, a waiting. The earth was shifting beneath him, and he had the hideous suspicion that his entire life was about to change if he didn't get out of ther...
A moment later he was sent sprawling on a hard wood floor. The idiots left him alone – why they thought a simple bash on the head would keep him immobile for long was beyond him. They wouldn’t have mu...
You'd be better served ifyou gave me a moment to regain my self-control and let me remove my boots. It's the least agentleman can do.And you're such a gentleman.Not with you, love. But I'm trying.
You tell anyone that I cried, and I'll cut your liver out.Do you even know where a human liver resides?[...]Yes, she said, and punched him in it.
To her surprise, Jilly appeared to have handed over the telephone and a momentlater Taka ended the call. No, maybe it shouldn't surprise her. Jilly would have resisted bullying, but Taka's calm contro...
She managed to finger-comb her hair into some kind of order, though it was a little too punk for her peace of mind. Not that she'd ever minded looking punk; in fact, the cut had been designed for that...
She looked at him. She was feeling reckless, emotional, out of sorts, and she was tired of his constant hints. I found the experience so unpleasant with Wilfred that I kicked him out lest he want to r...
Please go away, Monsieur le Comte, she said in a polite voice. You must have tired of your absurd, inconsequential games by now.My games are never inconsequential, as long as they entertain me.She clo...
I will give you a little hint, Emma said with a wry smile. A whore’s trick, but a good one. It’s a part that you’re playing, like a grand actress on the stage. It isn’t you. It has nothing to do with...
I want your innocence. I want your blind, unquestioning devotion toyour father, your acceptance of who and what he is. I want you to look atme the way you look at him, knowing the worst. I want you to...
I hate to tell you, dragon, but that's an integral part of the whole usiness, he whispered. If you're afraid to touch me then we're not going to get very far.She lifted her head to look at him. I thou...
His head moved down, his mouth taking hers in a kiss that held the passion of a thousand years as his body molded against her trembling frame. His lips were hard and hungry as he fought against her re...
