My eyes stung as they always did whenever I saw Cary happy. Dr. Travis was the closest thing to a father that he had and I knew how much Cary loved him.

I keep what's mine, and I do not share.

Don't play, Gia," he growled. "Suck me or fuck me. Make me come.

Well," she said, "I'm no weatherman, but I predict you'll be getting several inches tonight.

Don't hang up. For God's sake, Eva, we're married . We're in love. There's no shame in that. So what if it's crazy? It's us . It's who we are. You need to come to grips with that.

You look beautiful and fuckable

There was nothing so attractive as a powerful, handsome, and self-assured man.

You've got to have as many good times as bad, or it all becomes too painful and too much work.

I need you to understand that you'll never have to settle for pieces of me. You shouldn't be settling at all. You deserve so much better. You could have anyone -

I've never worked so hard for anything in my life as I have for you.

I already have the cake. You're the icing on top, with sprinkles, candied fruit, and chocolate drizzle.

Gideon: "It's time to discuss what it's going to take to get you beneath me."
Eva: "A miracle.

I want love and I won't settle for less

You're the reason I breathe, I can't turn it off." I slid my mouth across her cheek. "I think of nothing but you. All day. Every day. Everything I do, I do with you in mind. There's no room for anyone else. It kills me that you have room for him.

Sometimes you just have to be blunt and say, 'I rock.

I'm pea green with envy

The words she wanted to say burned her throat and tongue, explanations and declarations that would only cause more pain because the end would only be the same.

He rubbed the spot over his chest that ached for Jessica. And her regard will never alter or diminish. She knows the worst there is to know about me, yet she loves me in spite of my mistakes. No ... I would say perhaps she loves me because of them; because of how they've shaped me.

Wow. Hindsight didn't just make things crystal clear; it smacked me upside the head and knocked some sense into me. "I get it."

"I don't think you do. This" - he gestured impatiently at himself - "is just a fucking shell. You're what drives me, Eva. Can you understand that? You're my heart and soul. If something ever happened to you, it would kill me, too. Keeping you safe is goddamned self-preservation! Tolerate it for me, if you won't do it for yourself."

I surged into him, knocking him off-balance and onto his back. I kissed him hard, my heart pounding and blood roaring in my ears. "I hate to freak you out," I muttered between desperate kisses, "but you've got it real bad for me.

Angel,if I needed you more I couldn't function.

His hand reached up to his chest and rubbed at the area over his heart as if it hurt him.

Sex that's planned like a business transaction is a turnoff for me ... Listen to yourself. Why even call it a fuck? Why not be clear and call it a seminal emission in a pre-approved orifice? (Eva to Gideon)

Gideon was an untamed animal behind closed doors, a lover who bared me to the soul every time he made love to me.

I want to be the man of your dreams, angel," he said, surprising me. "I want that more than anything."
I looked back at him. "You've got that in the bag already.

If you're going to give him a second chance, I should get one, too.

Don't. Tell me when, then. And before you say never, take a good look at me and tell me if you see a man who's easily deterred.

You have a transportation fetish.
I have a Gideon fetish. It's been weeks.

Did we choose love, or did we choose ourselves?

There aren't words to tell you what you mean to me. But I hope that when you see this ring on your hand, you'll remember that you shine as brightly as diamonds in my life and you're infinitely more precious

It wasn't about finding the perfect guy; it was about finding a guy whose faults you could live with.

As he stared back, he altered ... as if a shield slid away fro his eyes, revealing a scorching force of will that sucked the air from my lungs. The intense magnetism he exuded grew in strength, becoming a near tangible impression of vibrant and unrelenting power.

If you think," he began, "that being sober and working steadily broke my bullshit meter, now you know better. I knew you were nailing Cross again from the moment you started back up."
Biting into my taco, I shot him a skeptical look.
"Eva honey, don't you think that if there were another man in New York who could bang it out all night like Cross, I would've found him by now?

I love you", he murmured, his fingertips brushing my tears. "Do you feel it?"
"Yes.

I knew the moment I held you in the theater, that you were the reason for everything. Every single turn my life has made led me to you. Were I not the man I am, the agency would never have approached me and I would not have found you, my soul mate. In fact, you are so like me, it is nearly frightening, yet you continue to surprise and astound me.

He didn't see in himself what I saw - a generous soul who wanted so much to belong to something greater than himself. He didn't recognize what a miracle he was. When he didn't know what to do in a given situation, he let instinct and his heart take over. Despite all he'd been through, he had such an amazing capacity to feel and to love. He'd saved me, in so many ways. I was going to do whatever needed to be done to save him, too.

Always told me what he wanted and needed . . . how good he felt when I made love to him. He was holding himself back, denying me the satisfaction of knowing I pleased him.

I don't need anything else. I get out of bed every morning and face the world because you're in it.

I will see to this; you see to your sister. Be quick about it. It won't be long before I come for you, and you'd best be ready, Jess, with my ring still gracing your hand. You won't stay me then. I'll drag you to Scotland in irons if I have to.

I was happiest when I was alone with her. She revitalized me, made me anticipate living in a way I never had before. I

She was my wife. My most valuable possession; I treasured her. But I loved her slutty and dirty, too. A sexual object for my pleasure. The one woman who could silence the memories in my head and set me free.

He's a Sentinel. An angel created to hunt and punish other angels. He was designed and built to feel no emotion, to function almost like a machine. One mission, one purpose, no deviations. But he's deviated a lot over the years. Now more so than ever before. And he's paid the price. He's paying it even now.

He carried himself like a man who liked to fuck and knew he did it well. That subtle sexual arrogance.

As long as Kline doesn't kiss you." The warning was clear in his voice. "Same goes." "If he kisses me, he's getting decked." I laughed. "You know what I meant.

I felt drawn to him, as if a rope bound my waist and he were slowly, inexorably pulling it.

Until you, I didn't consider my past as an issue. Yes, it affected certain ways I did things, but everything had its place and I wasn't unhappy. In fact, I thought I had a comfortable and uncomplicated life."
"Oh boy." My nose wrinkled. "Hello, Mr Comfortable. I'm Miss Complicated."
His grin flashed. "Never a dull moment.

The simple fact was, Gideon and I were the best and worst things that had ever happened to each other

You know how it is - some hot guys don't make your hormones go crazy, while some unattractive guys have massive sex appeal. This guy had it all.

Are you sleeping with anyone?"
The question was asked so casually it took a second to process what he'd said.
I inhaled sharply. "Why is that any business of yours?"
He looked at me and I saw what I'd seen the first time we'd met - tremendous power and steely control. Both of which had me taking an involuntary step back. Again. At least I didn't fall this time; I was making progress.
"Because I want to fuck you, Eva. I need to know what's standing in my way, if anything.

Who do you think monsters marry, you stupid bitch?" I walked back to her. "Pretty little breakable girls? Or other monsters?" I pushed up into her face. "You got the fairy tale right. But Gideon's the beauty. I'm the beast.

I would have found Eva eventually. And I would've wanted her, given up everything to have her. I would have left you to be with her. The end was inevitable.

The world would be a very sad place if readers could only love one story.

You're all I want, Eva. There's no one else. There will never be anyone else.

You okay, angel mine?"
"I'm in your arms. Life doesn't get better than this.

It would be another scar to add his collection, another bitter memory he'd always have, a memory I would share and fear along with him, but it wouldn't rule us. We wouldn't let it.

Confucius say, man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day

He caught me to him and cupped my cheek in one hand. I want to keep feeling the way I feel when I'm with you. Just tell me what I have to do.

Let's be clear. There was no us." My smartphone chimed with a text from Raúl, letting me know that he was nearly at the Crossfire with Eva. I moved to the coatrack. "You wanted to fuck and I fucked you. If you wanted me, well … I'm not responsible for your exaggerated expectations.

She was playing it like we had an affinity because we'd both been thrown over by you. The 'Dumped by Gideon Sisterhood.'"
He glanced at me with cold eyes. "Don't be catty. It doesn't suit you.

Dark and intense. Powerfully magnetic and hotly sexual. Yes, I knew how he was.

Don't take that tone with me, Gideon. I'm tired of being an open book for you while you hoard all your secrets.

I have one one type: Eva Lauren Tramell. That's it." I rolled my eyes.
"Okay. Whatever.

No matter how close we were, it was never close enough.

We were addicted to each other.

I supposed, perhaps, you miss the promise of what could have been, while at the same time you are grateful that what it was instead is over.

I'll do whatever you want, whatever you need. Anything. Just take me back.

I thought we'd turned a corner. Maybe we did, but we hit a brick wall anyway.

That's what scares me, Gideon. You don't know what you're worth."
"Actually, I do. Twelve bill - " "Shut up.

you Don't want what I'M ready to dish out

When I come, I come for you.
Because of you and your mouth, hands, and insatiable little cunt. And it'll be that way for you in
reverse. My tongue, my fingers, my cum inside you. Just you and me, Eva. Intimate and raw.
Gideon

Did you know that jewelry shop is a Cross Industries property? Gideon Cross has offered a quarter-million dollar reward for information leading to the arrest of the thieves.

What are you doing?" he breathed. "You're going around, stirring up everything."
"I've got time on my hands," I shot back, just as breathless, "since I dumped my asshat boyfriend."
He growled, fiercely passionate, his hand in my hair pulling so tightly it pained me.
"You can't make this up with a kiss or a f*ck, Gideon. Not this time."
Gideon & Eva

You're blond, but surely you can't be so naive as to believe that."
"You're stressed," I countered, "but surely you know you're being an ass.

I spend a quarter of every day inside you. When you set limits outside of that I can't help but see them as arbitrary.

Doctor." Gideon set one ankle on the opposite knee and settled back, creating a picture of unyielding decisiveness.
"The only way I'm keeping my hands off her is if I'm dead. Find another way to fix us."
Chapter 3 pg 50

Gideon woke up ready to conquer the world, and he liked to start that domination with me.
How lucky was I?

It was an Argentine tango, fierce and sexy, and Reed was delicious with it. With his confident and elegant movements, their dance was almost like having sex with their clothes on.

His lip curled in a sneer. You always kiss your mistakes like that?

From the moment she'd first seen him in the Fontaine ballroom, she'd been lost. The passionate kiss a week later had destroyed her. Even now she could feel the heat of his expert lips against hers, and the remembrance of his taste made her mouth water.

Off. Whoever said Mondays sucked had obviously never woken up to a naked Gideon Cross.

Gideon, you don't fit any type," I drawled. "You're in a class by yourself

My choices were either too much alcohol or a whirl with my vibrator, and I was damned if I'd have a battery-provided orgasm starring Dark and Dangerous.

Oh hell." He gasped, his back arching, his balls drawing up painfully tight. "Don't make me come too quickly.

It is the yearning I sense in you that lures me.

We'll never be over, Eva.

And he'll indulge you, because he's making an investment in you. You're an asset to him. You're beautiful, well bred and well connected, and independently wealthy. You're also in love with him and he can't take his eyes off you. I bet he can't keep his hands off you, either.

I'm afraid I'll lose myself in you, Gideon. I'm scared I'll lose the part of me I worked so hard to get back."
"I'd never let that happen." he promised fiercely.
Chapter 8, pg 140

He reached for my hand, lifted it to his lips, and kissed my fingertips. I love you.
