It Happened One Autumn (Wallflowers, #2)

‘It’s just me. If you would rather meet in another place—’ ‘No,’ Lillian interrupted, mildly amused to hear one of the most powerful men in England refer to himself as ‘just me.’

JUST MEEE 👌🏻😂

‘the next time you face a room full of strangers . . . you might tell yourself that some of them are just friends waiting to be found.’

But that did not change the fact that Marcus wanted Lillian Bowman more than any other woman he had ever known.

‘I’m a wicked man who can, on occasion, be just a bit nice. And I’ve been searching for a nice girl who can, on occasion, be just a bit wicked.’

Sebastian tho 🔥

‘Are you angry because I started making love to you, or because I didn’t finish?’

😩😩

As he stared at her with those fallen-angel eyes and smiled. Lillian was forced to agree with Daisy’s assessment of St Vincent’s animal magnetism. He looked like a man who was born to sin . . . a man who could make sinning so enjoyable that one hardly minded paying the price afterward.

SEBASTIAAAANNNNN

He kissed as if he were the first man who had ever discovered it, with a lazy expertise that seduced her by slow degrees.

God in heaven, he was tired of fighting his desire for her. It was exhausting to struggle against something so overwhelming. Like trying not to breathe.

‘You can’t marry him.’ Westcliff watched with a scowl as her head and arms emerged from the chemise. ‘Why not?’ ‘Because you’re mine now.’

Not the mine 😩

But words have always been difficult for me when my feelings are strongest.

‘You didn’t so much as glance in my direction even once during supper.’ ‘I was afraid to.’ ‘Why?’ ‘Because I knew that if I did, I wouldn’t be able to keep from making you into my next course.’
