"Always strap in. As supernatural beings we're pretty much going to survive any crash, especially you, but the police are more likely to pull you over if you're not strapped in.""I'm certain they could pull you over for many other infractions," he murmured, doing as she instructed with the seatbelt."

"He shrugged those broad shoulders, drawing her gaze to them. She couldn't help but undress him with her eyes, remembering every hot inch of his naked body. Unfortunately he knew what she was doing. "All you have to do is ask and I'll take my clothes off."

"She watched him for a long moment, an adorably annoyed frown wrinkling her forehead. "You're obnoxious when you're right."

"When she entered the dining room, she tried to ignore Caleb's gaze on her. He wasn't outwardly leering, but she could feel the intensity coming from his direction as if he was sending heat-seeking missiles her way. She knew he wanted her. She might not have much experience with men, but she knew when one was interested and Caleb Ryder was."

"For the first time in a long time he decided to trust that the woman next to him, who smelled like peaches and cream and made him think of nothing but sex, wasn't going to kill him in his sleep."

"Drake, her sexy mate, just lifted a big shoulder. "Bo clearly does not know how to act around his female. Once he figures out how to, they will be mated soon." "No doubt," Finn murmured."

"Oh my God, you're such a guy!" "I'm glad you noticed." The glint in his dark eyes was purely wicked."

"Since there was nowhere else he wanted to be and no one else he wanted touching him, Drake shot Gabriel a smug look over his shoulder as he let Victoria take him wherever she wanted."

"He didn't want to take advantage of her? Fine, she'd take advantage of him."

"He sucked in a breath, his head snapping back from hers. Groaning as he filled her, she arched her back against him, her nipples stroking his chest with the movement. They weren't going to make it to the living room. "Wall or floor?" he managed."

"What do you want for her?" "Dragon bones." The leader's eyes narrowed even as his pupils turned to vertical slits. The contrasting actions was jarring to see. "That's impossible." Rory lifted a shoulder, casual indifference. "Nothing's impossible. I want them, you want this female. Find me dragon bones, you get her."

"Emma Garcia gripped the steering wheel of the stolen pick-up truck she wished she wasn't driving. In the entirety of her twenty-six years, she hadn't taken as much as a piece of gum without paying for it, until today."

"There would never be anyone else. Not if he lived a thousand lifetimes."

"Wait, what? Mara roughed up some guys? For a moment Harrison wondered if this had something to do with a woman at her shelter. Maybe she'd been at that pawn shop to try and talk to an ex or something. But that didn't make sense. Mara would have told him about that. "That's a mild way of putting it. She also took a bunch of pistols."

"I lost one woman I loved. I'm not losing another."

"Oh yeah, she wanted to be this man's prey in every way. She'd felt his brand of dominance and wanted more of it."

"Meeting Harrison hadn't been part of her plan, but once she'd met him, walking away from him had never been an option. Now she wondered if he'd be the one to walk away from her when he knew the truth about her past. He'd been so brutally honest with her about his own life and his career with the CIA before he'd started working for Red Stone Security. But she'd kept her secrets."

"Larissa's father was Vlad Dracul? Vlad Tepes? Vlad the fucking Impaler?"Tepes translated meant "the Impaler," something Connor clearly knew."Yeah."Surprising him, Connor let out a loud laugh. "Man I bet her family just loved that she mated with a shifter."A weight on Aiden's chest lifted at his Alpha's reaction. "You have no idea."

"I have a present for you," he murmured, still stroking along her spine. He loved the way she felt curled against him. Like she'd been made for him. Laughing lightly, she laid her head back on his chest. "Pretty sure you just gave it to me."

"His gaze strayed to her mouth as her tongue darted out to swipe cream off her bottom lip. He had to actually bite back a groan at the sight. He'd been with women who knew how to seduce, how to do everything right - because it was all choreographed and fake. With Dominique, he knew there was not artifice. Even if she was driving him crazy."

"She made him want to lose control, something he never did. She also made him want things he'd never imagined for his own life, like a family and someone to come home to every night."

"I'm adaptable. A nomad, my mom always says." Zoe raised an eyebrow. "Your mom?" "Well I wasn't spawned."

"I feel like my life started the moment I met you," he murmured."

"The woman lived inside him, was his mate."

"It's all or nothing with me. Make sure you know what you want."

"That dress makes me want to do bad things to you." There was a long pause in which her sweet honeysuckle scent grew, twisting around him. Finally she spoke, her voice low. "What kinds of things?"

"You really need better spatial awareness. A familiar, deep voice from behind her made her jump out of her skin.Feeling almost numb, she turned to find Graysen West standing there-and looking way too sexy for his own good. Or for her own good. She'd thought she was completely alone in the elevator.She blinked once. Yep, he was still there. Well over six feet of raw masculinity, bright blue eyes she could drown in, and a disapproving frown that somehow made him look sexy.Isa felt almost possessed as she lashed out. A year of built-up anger and hurt came bursting to the surface. Her arm was moving before she'd processed what she was doing but when her fist connected with his nose, she cursed at the pain that jolted through her hand. Punching someone hurt."

"Dragons loved treasure, that was not a myth about his kind, and Rhea was the greatest treasure of all."

"He'd fantasized about her too? "You don't have to fantasize anymore," she murmured..."

"Ever since meeting Charlie, his entire world was off it's axis."

"The most possessive part of Conall didn't want another male to even look at Rhea."

"No touching? Screw that. She was going to touch tall, dark and sexy all over. This was her dream."

"I will not interfere with a male dragon while he is rutting."

"She was different from any other women he'd been with. Something he'd known from the moment he'd met her and she'd made a smart-ass comment about him looking like GI Joe on vacation."

"I should have tried getting blown up months ago if that's what it takes to get you to be nice to me."

"One night of hot sex should have been easy enough to forget, but she couldn't get the images of their intertwined, naked bodies or his intoxicating scent out of her head."

"He'd made a decision today that he wasn't letting her push him out of his life again."

"I'm not going anywhere..."

"She'd taken one look at him the first time they'd met and it was like her body had just erupted into a ball of heat and hunger."

"Everything is falling into place perfectly. We have four dirty DEA agents working with a terrorist group and killing Americans on American soil. The headlines are going to write themselves and we're going to get our candidate into the White House. When that happens, we'll get the war we want. The war we can win."

"He was six feet six inches of confusing male. Lord, the man was huge, muscular and smelled heavenly. She just wanted to run her nose all over him, inhaling that spicy, earthy scent that made her inner wolf want to jump up and strut around for him."

"This thing I feel for you... I've never felt like this about anyone, Tegan."

"He was so damn sexy, with beautiful bronzed skin that showed off his Mediterranean heritage."

"You're sleeping here?" He'd originally planned to just cuff her to him but now she'd proved the cuffs were useless and she didn't seem to be going anywhere."Well, I'm not sleeping on the floor. Unless you're worried about me killing you in your sleep?"

"Are you naked?" he rasped out. Swallowing hard, she nodded."

"He needed to taste her like he needed his next breath."

"Maybe I'm not the Boy Scout you think I am."

"She wanted to ride him, to feel all that strength pulsing beneath her, but the most primitive part of her brain knew that this first time, he was going to be on top. A man like Declan was dominant to his core."

"So, whose man parts are you setting on fire?" he asked, quirking an eyebrow.... "No one. I was just telling Belle about how I need to lose my virginity." Aaaaand, that did it. He froze, his arm dropping from Belle's shoulders as he took a not very subtle step toward the entryway. "I need to get the door." She picked up her tulip-shaped glass, fighting a grin. "I didn't hear the doorbell."

"Caleb shifted uncomfortably as he closed the door behind him. For a moment, he'd thought she'd been naked under the sheet. But, it had been a nude-colored type of top. Didn't seem to matter, the sight had kicked his fantasies into overdrive. She tried to hide herself, but the nightlight next to her bed cast a soft amber glow around her shining right through the thin sheet, illuminating her small pert breasts perfectly even through the top. He couldn't live under the same roof as her and not go insane. He would make an announcement tomorrow. She was off-limits."
