Reading
Hey,
I’ve been reading Unlikely Love the last couple of days and I have fallen in love for James all over again.
Someone has left a review stating that he was very alpha and my first thought was, nah, he’s not, he’s a pussy cat, but reading through I realised she was right. He is bossy, he likes to take charge and he definitely likes his own way. I love that about him, I like that Scarlett knows where she stands with him almost from the first time they meet and even though he has his moments, he is always there for her.
Here is one of my favourite James moments:
James placed the hot chocolate in front of me after he’d put marshmallows on the top and I gratefully closed my hands around the cup with a sigh.
He looked over and raised his eyebrows in question.
“How did this happen?” I asked.
“This? Do you mean being here with me or your sister being a pain in the ass?”
“Both,” I said.
He sat down and spun my stool round to trap my knees in his open legs; the movement was a shock because it was so intimate.
“You’re here with me so I can keep you safe while Matt tries to track down your sister. You had a choice, and you chose me. Even if you change your mind you’re still staying with me, you should know that if I have to handcuff you to my bed to stop you from leaving, I will.”
As warnings go, that was a good one, too bad I kind of liked that idea. My body heated at the thought of being at his mercy and I looked down to hide the blush burning my face. The pleasure I knew he could give me had me excited and fearful at the same time and I knew it wouldn’t take much to become addicted to him. It wasn’t a normal reaction; if a stranger told you he was going to handcuff you to his bed if you tried to leave; you should run, not picture it and become aroused at the idea of being at his mercy. I ignored my thoughts to argue with him, stubborn to the end, I refused to let him see the power he had over me.
“That will never happen. If I want to leave, I will and there’s nothing you can do about it.” I taunted.
“Is that right? Well, it’s a moot point anyway because you’re not going anywhere.”
“I could stay with the detective; he gave me his number to ring if I need to.”
“That won’t happen and if he turns up to take you home with him all he will walk away with is a broken nose.”
I gasped in shock. “He seemed like your friend, why would you hit him?”
“Because if he comes here for you he’ll be trying to take what’s mine and I don’t share, not even with Matt.”
James sure is bossy but he is sweet too:
“Anything you want. I’d give you the moon if you asked me for it. It wouldn’t be easy, but I’d find a way.”
I have so many more favourite lines and quotes, but many are spoilers and I don’t want to ruin it for anyone.
