Sunshine's Grump Quotes

“I do not deserve you, but I can’t seem to let you go, to let you have the life you should with a better man.” He opened his dark eyes, equal parts longing and hope reflected in them. “Please tell me you'll forgive me. Make my days bright, my life worth something. Please love me, and never leave me again.” ”

“Had it ever really happened? Had I fallen in love with a tall, dark, handsome stranger? The only things that made it seem real were the sickeningly empty hole in my chest where my heart had been… and the solitary figure on the topmost observation deck, who stood and watched me leave him.”

“I never thought much about the importance of sunshine until I met you, Soleil.” His gaze was solemn. “I worked hard for my family, our employees, to keep our businesses afloat. To grow our fortune. But I never once thought about how much I needed more light in my life. I would give almost anything to be able to make you smile, and know I deserved it. That I’d earned it.”

“My belt?”  “Mine now,” she snarled, busy rubbing my shirt over the tops of all the blankets. I watched her, my heart aching for some reason.  She deserved a real nest. A room devoted to her comfort and pleasure. With silk pillows and soft blankets, dim lighting, and an alpha she loved.”

“It’s a terrible nest,” she muttered. “There’s not enough…” Her eyes darted to mine, then down again. “There’s not enough good smells in it.”

“Tell me. If I opened that door, would there be a nest in there?”  “I don’t have to answer that.”  “I know. But I want you to.” I ran my nose along her neck. “Do you trust me?” She tightened her lips, refusing to answer. There was a tiny speck of whipped cream on her cheek, and I leaned down and licked it off slowly, deliberately. “Sunshine, answer me.” ”

“What I need?” She breathed deeply, not answering, her eyelids fluttering shut.  “Anything. Anything at all.” I gripped her chin in one hand and moved the other to the back of her neck, tilting her face up to mine. Her skin was still too hot. I blew a stream of cool air over her forehead, and the air between us filled with my own alpha scent, and even more of hers.  Her mouth fell open, inhaling. Tasting the air.”

“But she wasn’t mine. She wasn’t even hers.”
