Measure For Measure Quotes

“There was no slow build. No peaceful meander to the summit. It was like sheet lighting stretching across a stormy sky—beautiful and blinding. I leaned forward and seized his mouth with mine.”
― E.M. Denning, Measure For Measure

“Not only were my nerves shot, but my body was a traitor. I didn’t want to melt against him. I didn’t want to enjoy the feeling of his lips sliding across my skin. I didn’t want to like the possessive way his fingers dug into my waist or the way his erection pressed against me.”

“Ryker smiled at me. “You learn quick—”

I cut him off. “If you call me grasshopper, I’m going to slug you.”

“Padawan.”

I shoved him. It was more like shoving a tree. He didn’t even flinch. “You’re such a nerd.”

“Geek, Millie. I’m a geek.” His lips twitched and it made me want to raise myself up on my tiptoes and kiss him.

I shot him a grin instead. “Only a nerd would know the difference.”

“Stick with me, kid. I’ve got this.” His words were an echo of a promise he made long ago, not long after we first met. He always knew exactly what to say, to do, and that’s the reason I didn’t move away when he brought his lips down to mine. It’s the reason I let my hands slide over his bare chest. They mimicked the way his tongue slid along my lower lip when I sighed and melted into him.”
