Closed door means knock, Elena said to Clay, shooing him out.You've been in here for two hours, he said. She can't need that much work. He frowned as he examined my outfit. What the hell is she? A tre...
Paco is walking out of the bathroom and I rush past him.You might want to wait before you-- Paco's voice fades as I close the door, locking myself in. Wiping my eyes, I gaze into the mirror. I'm a com...
Once, when I'd needed to meet Daniel to deliver a warning from Jeremy, I'd worn two-inch heels and had quite enjoyed the sensation of talking down to Daniel, until he told me how sexy I looked. Since...
The stairs aren't challenging enough anymore? he asked.Antonio laughed. Challenge has nothing to do with it, Jer. I'd say it's the big bad wolf huffing and puffing at her door up there.
Tell me when you want to pick it up again.Tell me when Satan starts a snowball fight.I'll do that. Lunch?
What's the woman doing there? he asked.Covering a scratch on the hood. She was cheaper than a new paint job.He flipped through a few more pages of barely dressed women and classic cars. Nick used to h...
Perfect night, wasn't it?It could have been. I smiled up at him. But you were there.
You could rattle the stars,' she whispered. 'You could do anything, if only you dared.
As I recall, I was still dressed when I fell asleep.Just making sure you were comfortable.And making yourself equally comfortable, I see.
Jeremy had a plan for getting Clay back and I wasn't allowed to know anything about it or allowed to help him carry it out. As one might expect, I accepted this news with grace and understanding.That...
It was awful. It was, like, walk out to the woods, Change, stand there until enough time passed, Change back. It was about as much fun as taking a shit.Nice analogy.
Elena?Yes, unless Nick found a woman in the forest, which I suppose wouldn't be too surprising.
Elena opens the door and yanks me through the house, stopping only when we reach the backyard. She lets me go only to grab the microphone from the lead singer.Paco! she announces loudly. Yeah, I'm tal...
One of them has to break, the queen said to the princess. Only then can it begin.I know, the princess said softly. But the prince isn't ready. It has to be her.Then you understand what I am asking of...
Speaking of death, LeBlanc boasted he could kill me in the waiting room. I broke his wrist. He wasn't impressed.
Next Clay gave the house rules for living with theSorrentinos , which sounded a lot like the TenCommandments. Thou shall not lie, steal anything, kill anyone, disrespect your hosts or covetany of Nick...
One, he used to be Pack so he knows how dangerous this kind of killing on our territory is, that we can’tand won’tleave town. Two, he hates Clay. Three, he hates Jeremy. Four, he hates all of uswith t...
One part of my brain, soaring on adrenaline, insisted I could take Cain, whatever the size difference. Another part wondered where the hell Nick and Clay were. The loudest part just shouted:
Cosmo never speaks to my life. Its surveys always ask questions like How would you react if your lover announced he was taking a job in Alaska? and jumping for joy is never one of the options. Move to...
Bigger room, darling. Like I said, we need a bigger room.
