Road Trip with a Rogue Quotes

“I thought one night with him would prove that he was nothing special.”
“Ah.” Tess managed to imbue the single syllable with a world of meaning.
Daisy sighed. “I thought it would work in the same way as those inoculations invented by Dr. Jenner. If I deliberately infected myself with a small dose of the disease—Vaughan, in this case—I’d be able to fight off a much more serious case in the future. But I was wrong. I didn’t make myself immune. All I did was give myself a full-blown case of him. He’s all I can think about. All I want. I am infected, and the worst of it is, I don’t think it’s simply a case of incurable lust. I have all sorts of other complicated feelings about him.”
Tess and Ellie were both regarding her with fascinated, rapt expressions.
“What other sort of feelings?” Tess asked tentatively.
“I like him. Even though he’s an absolute monster.” Daisy shook her head, disgusted with herself. “He fought for me, risked his life for me. Cared for me when I was ill. He was kind.”
Ellie frowned. “Well, that’s not fair. It’s bad enough him looking like he does, and being all brooding and masterful, but if he’s secretly nice beneath all that sarcasm, how were you supposed to resist?”
“Everything conspired against me,” Daisy wailed. “There was only one bed. Only one horse. He bathed in front of me, for heaven’s sake.”
“Oh, bloody hell,” Tess muttered.”

“A lump formed in her throat as she looked up at his profile and a thousand conflicting emotions tangled in her chest. “It’s good to see you. I didn’t think you’d—”
“Come for you?” he finished. A muscle ticked in his jaw as he glared down at her, as if mortally offended. “I’ll always come for you, Daisy.”
His gaze burned into hers for an instant before he looked away, as if realizing what he’d just said. How it could be construed. He cleared his throat. “We never leave a man behind.”

“His stupid body didn’t seem to know the difference between fighting and foreplay.
With Daisy, there was hardly any difference. He wanted her with a desperation that was shocking.”

“He was glad her eyes were closed. Something strange always happened to him whenever their eyes met: he experienced a tightening in his chest, an instant rush of desire that turned his cock to iron. It was infuriating. No other woman had ever had the same effect.”

“Daisy Hamilton had been looking forward to her first highway robbery, but someone had beaten her to it. Several someones, in fact.
Bloody Hell.”
