    Loretta Chase
    “Good God!" she cried. She rolled off him, tugging down her clothing. "Are you mad?"

    He blinked and dragged in air. "Well, yes," He said thickly. "Lust does that to a man."

    "You thought we would--you would-- do...that in public?"

    "I wasn't thinking about where we were." He said.

    Her eyes widened.

    "I'm a man," he said with what he was sure must be, in the circumstances, saintly patience. "I can do one or the other. Lovemaking or thinking. But not both at the same time."

    She stared at him for a moment. Then she drew up her knees and folded her arms upon them and buried her face in her folded arms.

    She did not pick up the rifle and knock him on the head with it.

    Perhaps all was not lost.

    "Somewhere else then?" He said hopefully.”
    Loretta Chase, Mr. Impossible

    Grace Burrowes
    “Even when I cried,” she said, a world of resignation in her tone, “I was glad to be here with you, Westhaven. Believe that, if you believe nothing else of me.”

    “I love you, he thought, because you are honest with me and because you are willing to speak the truth to me when others might seek to curry favor instead.

    Grace Burrowes, The Heir

    Grace Burrowes
    “Is this all you want, Anna?” He brought his arms around her and urged her to lean into him. “Merely an embrace? I’ll understand it, if you do.”
    “It isn’t merely an embrace,” she replied, loving the feel of his lean muscles and long bones against her body. “It is your embrace, and your scent, and the cadence of your breathing, and the warmth of your hands. To me, there is nothing mere about it.”
    Grace Burrowes, The Heir

    Pamela Clare
    “You are new here, so I will explain. In this land, nobility comes not from one’s fathers or a title or from the land one owns, but from one’s actions.” His voice was hard-edged, and his words seemed harsh to her. “The MacKinnon brothers are the highest nobility to those who live on the frontier—true warriors, men who know how to fight and survive, men who put the lives of others before their own. Your family’s wealth, your title, your virtue—they mean nothing out here. They won’t fill your belly, and they won’t keep you alive. What matters most right now is your survival. (Joseph to Lady Sarah)”
    Pamela Clare, Defiant

    “I've bled for you. I've killed for you. I've held you in my arms and done my best to make love to you. I'd give my life to protect you. Now I sit beside you, askin' you to trust me.”
    Pamela Clare, Defiant

    “_I_ boil it." Joseph entered last, closing the door behind them. "Last time, you burnt it."

    Connor glared at Joseph. "We were attacked! What would you have me tell the Abenaki? 'I cannae fight just now. I'm makin' candy. Would you like a wee taste?”
    Pamela Clare, Defiant

    Pamela Clare
    “I do not know her as you do, but I have shared each step of this journey with her, watched her fight for her life, and held her each night while she slept. I cannot help but care for her."

    And suddenly Connor was glad Joseph had chosen to sleep in the loft.”
    Pamela Clare, Defiant

    Laura Kinsale
    “The flame in her was slow and deep-he was going to incite it with the fire in himself; he was going to make a blaze to burn down cities, to lay waste cathedrals and castles and plain meetinghouses-to make a world where it was only him, and only her, and this bed, and one flesh.”
    Laura Kinsale, Flowers from the Storm

    Tessa Dare
    “Astonishing. In the morning, when she sat working at that table of correspondence, silhouetted by sunlight . . .

    Her hair truly did look like an octopus.

    It was the way she wore it, he thought. Or maybe the way it wore her. It all sat perched atop her head in that big, inky blob. And no matter how strenuously she pinned it, dark, heavy curls worked loose on all sides, like tentacles.

    Of course, it was an entrancing, strangely erotic octopus. Ransom worried this might be how fetishes developed.”
    Tessa Dare, Romancing the Duke

    Tessa Dare

    “He let his eyes flitter over her. “I don’t see anything ‘precisely.’ I can tell you’re slender. I can see you’re wearing white, or some light color. Your face is pale, your lips are reddish. And there appears to be a dark brown octopus attacking your head.”

    “That’s my hair.”

    Ransom shrugged. “You asked what I see. I see tentacles.”
    Tessa Dare, Romancing the Duke

    Tessa Dare
    “Every time you wake up, you let fly the most marvelous string of curses. It’s never the same twice, do you know that? It’s so intriguing. You’re like a rooster that crows blasphemy.”

    “No man deserves a woman like that. He mortgages his very soul to win her and spends his life paying off the debt.”
    Tessa Dare, Romancing the Duke

  • #24
    Tessa Dare
    “Izzy was utterly convinced. Never mind Arabian horses, African cheetahs. No creature in the world could bolt so quickly as a rake confronted with the word "marriage". They ought to shout it out at footraces rather than using starting pistols.
    Ready, steady... matrimony!
    Tessa Dare, Romancing the Duke

    “Listen to me. When a man wakes, he wakes wanting. He wakes hard and rude and aching with need.” He shifted, pressing his massive erection against her hip. “Do you feel that?”

    She gasped. “Yes.”

    “It wants in you,” he said.

    “In . . . in me.”

    “Yes. In you. Hard, deep, fast, and completely. Now don’t wake me at this hour again unless you’ve found the perfect retort to that.”
    Tessa Dare, Romancing the Duke

    Tessa Dare
    “She was entirely unaware of the protocol when becoming acquainted with a man’s rampant sex organ. Did she reach out and give it a handshake? Touch one finger to the tip? Bid it a polite howdoyoudo?”
    Tessa Dare, Romancing the Duke

  • #30
    Tessa Dare
    “It started to rain. Fat, heavy drops of summer rain - the kind that always struck her as vaguely lewd and debauched. Little potbellied drunkards, those summer raindrops, chortling on their way to earth and crashing open with glee.”
