Prettiest thing I've ever seen."

I see it Kia, and I get this is gonna take effort. But what I'm sensin' is, you don't notice I'm makin' that effort. Don't fuck up, baby, and, out of habit, reinforce your shields to hold back a threat that doesn't exist. You get me? -- Kristen Ashley

"More fun to show you. -- Kristen Ashley
You better explain before I start plotting your murder."
His eyes crinkled. "You'd never get away with it."
"At this point, I don't mind doing time. -- Kristen Ashley

As an aside, Hop got gold stars because he had buttermilk available for pancakes.

I'm gonna get in his face, Jackie whispered her threat and Colt couldn't help it, he smiled into his phone. Jackie got a hold of him, hatchet or not, Denny Lowe didn't stand a chance. A lioness was lethal when her cubs were under threat. -- Kristen Ashley

Life isn't always beauty," he returned. "Most of the time it's shit. But you keep fightin' to turn it around, that says it all about you. And you're fightin'. As a fighter too, I fuckin' love that in you. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm sorry I fought you, Mace," I whispered. "But now that you're mine again, I'm never going to let you go. -- Kristen Ashley
Good girls earn good things." She let my jaw go, her eyes going beyond me toward Benny's house, then coming back to me. "Let yourself have good things." "It's not right," I told her quietly. "Know one thing on God's beautiful earth, and that is" - she leaned into me - "love is never wrong. -- Kristen Ashley
I know, child. What do you think's keeping me on this earth? Not easy to let go that kind of love. That kind of love's got the power to hold you tethered to a world you should have left a long time ago. -- Kristen Ashley
Do you know why I love you?"
The intensity of his eyes changed. It didn't fade, it kept burning strong, just the emotion behind it shifted.

"No," I whispered. "Because you're everything a man should be. -- Kristen Ashley
You still fallin' in love with me?... 'Cause you should know, baby, I'm already gone for you -- Kristen Ashley

"Feel this." He gave me a squeeze. "I'm real, Lanie. -- Kristen Ashley

I don't give a fuck we're both still raw. I don't give a fuck, even without that, we're still new. I don't give a fuck we got shit out there pressing in; I wanna plant my baby in you. -- Kristen Ashley
I find all of this very confusing."
"You get in my bed, I'll sort you out."
"You're that good?"
"Yeah, I am, baby. I will take care of you there in all the ways you need me to do it. That I can guarantee. -- Kristen Ashley
You're livin' in Badass World, baby," he whispered in my ear. "Fair warning, until I fix what I cut in you, you're there to stay. -- Kristen Ashley
Millie," he called.
I kept my gaze to the yard and replied with a, "Hmmm?"
"Safe with me."
My attention cut back to him.
"Never won't be, babe," he went on softly. "Not ever. Hear? -- Kristen Ashley
Millie, I was given one good thing in my life, the family I was born into. I found one good thing, my Club ... But in all my life, I only earned one good thing. That's you. -- Kristen Ashley
I prefer your smiles and laughter, wife, but there are far worse things than your tears wetting my skin. -- Kristen Ashley

That was hot," I declared and watched his body lock.
"What?"
"No. That's not right," I said . "That wasn't hot. That was smoking' hot, and I don't care if that makes me a freak. It was hot. You were hot. Now I'm hot. So hot, I may have an orgasm, standing here remembering it. -- Kristen Ashley
I tried to give you what you needed, to stay away, let you live your fucked-up life, but I can't. Taste you in my mouth, lady. See you in my dreams. -- Kristen Ashley
Honey, life has enough obstacles planned for you. Stop putting up your own and just live it. -- Kristen Ashley
We're all lost, Mike. The best chance we got is to wander this life with the people who matter." He'd -- Kristen Ashley
He has to be tall, very tall and dark, and broad-shouldered, and narrow-hipped. -- Kristen Ashley
Seriously, if it ever was in question, Layne knew for certain in that moment Jasper was definitely his son. -- Kristen Ashley
In my life, "Who you gonna call?" was not answered with, "Ghostbusters." It was answered with, "Jet. -- Kristen Ashley
Okay, lady, so you won't. But we got tonight. -- Kristen Ashley
I won't block you again, honey. -- Kristen Ashley
It would hurt someone normal," I whispered. "I'm not normal. It isn't like a phantom limb, something you had, used, needed and missed when it was gone. I never had that. I never had love. Devotion. Loyalty. You can't miss something you've never had. -- Kristen Ashley
No way in hell no matter how pissed you get I'm sleepin' on the couch. -- Kristen Ashley
Lost love, precious," Grams replied, turning her head to look out the side window. "Stings like a wasp bite that never fades. -- Kristen Ashley

Personally, I thought Detective Mitch Lawson was far superior to a tiny pink teddy bear but I wasn't six years old. -- Kristen Ashley
No matter how many years pass, it means something to a parent when their child needs them. At first, kids need you so much, all you want them to do is grow up so they can do things for themselves.

There are countless stories to be told, lady, and even if your story isn't so fantastic it will live for eternity, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be told -- Kristen Ashley
The days, I can forget, baby doll. But the nights ... " His voice dropped to a hoarse growl, filled with intense feeling. "The nights will be torture knowing I won't have this for eternity. -- Kristen Ashley

"I'm with you," I whispered, and I was with him. So with him. -- Kristen Ashley
Most of all I loved the serenity that came from being alone in a world of books at the same time not being alone because the world was around me, some if it real, the vast majority of it worlds all their own, contained on pages bound to a cover. -- Kristen Ashley
She was also not a woman who would be told what to do, not like Jessie, who knew the art of compromise (though, it should be said, Jessie knew it existed, she didn't utilize it much). -- Kristen Ashley
I have never, not once, not in my life, made love to any woman. Not once. Not until what I just did with you. -- Kristen Ashley
We all fall on hard times," he said quietly, removing his fist from my chin. "It's just lucky for you that you fell in the right direction. -- Kristen Ashley
Every day, I would wake up and think you were perfect and every night I'd go to sleep thinking that, somehow, during the day, you got even more perfect. -- Kristen Ashley
If I'm your Mitch, you're my Mara -- Kristen Ashley
I need a timeout do to deal with my timeout! that's how messed up I'm. -- Kristen Ashley
Since I was Shy's old lady and my behaviour reflected on him, I backed down. But, since I was Tabby and he was Hound, I didn't do it gracefully.
"You're off my Christmas card list," I announced. -- Kristen Ashley
Weirdly, that comes with the territory, the people most likely to be able to afford steak dinners in nice restaurants get them for free." "Free -- Kristen Ashley
Then you shouldn't have thrown her away when she was your wife. Now she ain't. Now she's somethin' to me and I don't let men I don't like get close to her and I gotta tell you man, I do not like you. -- Kristen Ashley
Then I whispered, "I love you, my Lahn," and heard the swift hiss of his intake of breath. Then he buried his face in my neck and whispered back, "Loot kay hansahnalay na, my Circe." And I love you, my Circe. -- Kristen Ashley
Cookie dough," I explained. "My booty is carefully crafted from copious intake of cookie dough." "Whatever -- Kristen Ashley
Every girl would secretly want to be "the one" even though she might lie to herself that she did not. -- Kristen Ashley

This isn't a good idea," I whispered, watching his lips come toward me.
"This is a fucking great idea," he muttered. Then he kissed me. -- Kristen Ashley
Tack's voice was granite when he started, "They will not take her boy, and the time to fuck with Carissa Teodoro is now over."

I'll be contacting Webster tomorrow. My suggestion will be absofuckingmazing. -- Kristen Ashley
the extent of his callousness shook him. -- Kristen Ashley
Atticus Finch is the most beautiful man I've ever met in print. He's a good dad and he does what's right, not what's safe, not what's popular. What's right. He's gentle. He's smart. He's strong. He's decisive and he's willing to follow through with his decisions, no matter what the odds. Even -- Kristen Ashley
Jesus," he buried his face in my neck. "There's nothin' better in the world than hearing you say my name when I'm inside you." He slid in deeper, filling me. "I've been waiting years to be right here. -- Kristen Ashley

Jesus works on Sundays, Hop. Want a direct line, time to haul your biker ass to church. -- Kristen Ashley
Just think of me as the shoe fairy." Then he acted like he was bonking me on the head with an imaginary magic wand, "Make your own good memories in those shoes." I gaped for a second, and then he winked at me. I couldn't help it, so I smiled at him and then turned to Indy. -- Kristen Ashley

She stopped talking so he requested, "May I speak?"
"Only if you don't piss me off when you do it, -- Kristen Ashley

I dreamed a dream when I was sixteen and here I am, standing with my dream, feeling it come real. -- Kristen Ashley

"She is, dear, just not ones she wants to untie," Gladys remarked. -- Kristen Ashley
And into the darkness, to his sleeping woman, he whispered, You don't know this, baby, but some men have dream women too. -- Kristen Ashley

I'd been tossing on the seas for twenty-eight years, I was used to flipping around on the waves by myself,

What if that anchor broke off? -- Kristen Ashley
Tack's eyes stayed locked on Shy's two beats then he said quietly. "Make her happy."
Shy held his gaze as, for the first time in fucking months, he began to breathe easy.
There it was.
Tack just gave it.
His blessing. -- Kristen Ashley
Chace shook his head, not at odds with how he felt about Tatum Jackson and Tyrell Walker, two of the biggest badasses he knew, demonstrating signs they were pussy whipped and didn't give a shit. -- Kristen Ashley
I think I have a clue how much you love me now, Hop," I told him when he broke the kiss.
"Good to know, baby," he said through a grin.
"Thank you," I whispered.
"So far from a hardship, it isn't funny, lady, but you're welcome. -- Kristen Ashley
You can't win at everything in life, Tate," I said softly, "He should learn that." "You're right, Ace, you can't. But you can learn from losin' how not to lose again. Or at least not make the same mistakes. -- Kristen Ashley

Christ, you're the most annoying woman I've ever met. -- Kristen Ashley

If you loved someone, you found a way to show it so the person you loved knew it. -- Kristen Ashley
Okay, well, we have to come up with an excuse. You needing to work and me needing a makeup change isn't going to cut it. We're seriously late.
Baby, we don't need an excuse. Anyone who sees you in that dress and those shoes will know exactly why we're late. -- Kristen Ashley
He wanted a daughter who looked like his wife. His wife had informed him she wanted a son who looked like her husband. God would decide but it was fun arguing about something that meant everything knowing neither of them
really cared which way it went. -- Kristen Ashley
Yes, Detective Mitchell James Lawson was stubborn. More stubborn than me. Damn. -- Kristen Ashley
And he has to be hard and cold and maybe a little bit forbidding, a little bit bad with a broken heart I have to mend or one encased in ice I have to melt or better yet, both! -- Kristen Ashley
Life!' Vito exploded, making me jump. Up and down, good and bad, birth and death, celebration and devastation. If you got any balls at all, you roll with the punches and get the fuck on with it, pardon my French -- Kristen Ashley
You goin' down on me rocks my world but when you're smashed, you ratchet that shit up so it's so fuckin' good, I don't know whether to come in your mouth or fuck you then hold you until you pass out, before I slip out while you're asleep and buy you a trophy. -- Kristen Ashley
Out there, King Lahn is a fierce warrior but in here, my Lahn ... kah Lahn is sweet. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm Southern. If it isn't fried, griddled, or grilled, it's grilled, griddled, or fried. We might get up to some boilin', but only if it's crawfish, lobster, or shrimp, and I don't have none of that." I -- Kristen Ashley
He knew it the minute she spoke. He knew that was all he needed, those two soft words with her limbs wrapped around him and, God help him, he'd do anything for her. -- Kristen Ashley
Love you, Amy." I stilled completely. He felt it. "I don't care if that's too soon for you," he announced. "You do with it what you want. Keep it and hold it to you and hope like fuck you give it back when you're ready. But you gotta know, it's yours. -- Kristen Ashley
Babe." "Babe?" "Babe." "Is that your response?" I asked. "No, my response is, babe, shut up and sleep but I already said that so I condensed it to just babe 'cause that's easier to say and might not piss you off." "I can't read all that in babe, Jake." "You'll learn to read my babes. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm sensin' we're comin' to a positive end to this discussion so I don't wanna piss you off, but I'm not your counselor. I'm your ex-wife's man. You need to process shit, do it with one of your boys. I got shit to do. -- Kristen Ashley
Don't want you wanderin' off and gettin' abducted or car bombed." My eyes bugged out and he shrugged. "It's been known to happen. -- Kristen Ashley
Woulda made a deal with the devil to get my wife and daughter back." He was still whispering and my breath stilled.
"Don't have that chance so nothin' I can do about that. But I darkened your door, baby, and you lit up my life again so I'm not lettin' that go. -- Kristen Ashley
You,that dress, those shoes, that hair, beverages and furniture you can get horizontal on would not be a good combination. -- Kristen Ashley
You know, Gray. Don't be your Daddy. Be smart. Find a nice girl to take home to your Gran. You know I'm not that. -- Kristen Ashley
I also suspected he was on the cover of the Denver Firefighters calendar, picture used for the month of July, he was that hot. If the firefighters merged with the police officers and they did a group shot that included Lawson and Jury, the paper might spontaneously combust. -- Kristen Ashley
You just slipped down two levels on the hot-o-meter," I informed him snottily. "I'll survive," he shot back and turned away. -- Kristen Ashley
Terrific. I'm named after the brother who was murdered and you're named after the bitch who stole her man's strength and betrayed him to his enemies. Fuck." His eyes came back to mine and he dropped his hand. "We're screwed. -- Kristen Ashley
Then how's this? You ignite for me, but more, you make me ignite for you. And no woman, not in my whole goddamned life, has made me ignite the way you do. -- Kristen Ashley
I ask, in future, my tigress, that if you intend to be a warrior, you think like a warrior and that would mean, before you bare your claws or unsheathe your steel, you ... actually ... think. -- Kristen Ashley
Because he tells me. All the fucking time. I'm precious to him and I know it because he shows me and he tells me. It's beautiful. It's real. It's right. -- Kristen Ashley
But that night, he fell asleep thinking it was whacked, fucking insane but it was true. He -- Kristen Ashley
Why?" Sal clipped. "'Cause this is Frankie. She could be standin' in a field in the middle of the day and a dead body would drop on her. -- Kristen Ashley
I take it you don't question the gods," I muttered. "No, Cora, even you wouldn't question the gods. Our fates were written in the sky the moment we were born." Oh. Wow. "Written in the sky?" I breathed. "Me to you, you to me for all the kingdom to see." Holy crap. Something -- Kristen Ashley
Girl, you keep givin' up. The only way sure to fail is to give up, -- Kristen Ashley
Son, you walked into the den of a master. If you aren't able to extol the virtues of your mattress, Mara will guide you to one that you are. So, while you're here, you need to let Mara show you our Spring Deluxe -- Kristen Ashley
Babe," he replies, grinning then said no more.
Still being helpful, I explained, "I know you think that word speaks volumes but, I have to tell you, it actually doesn't. -- Kristen Ashley
Life's a roller coaster. Best damn ride in the park. You don't close your eyes, hold on and wait for it to be over, babe. You keep your eyes open, lift your hands straight up in the air and enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm not your old lady," I declared. He grinned and asked, "You aren't?" "No," I stated firmly. "In my tee, in my bed, after a night where my condom stash got lighter by three, lady. Beg to differ," he replied. -- Kristen Ashley
Another reason to watch him avidly for he might pull himself out of
the pool, his whole body slick and those shorts plastered on him was not a sight to see. It was a
sight to prove there was a God and that God might just be Tate. -- Kristen Ashley
I closed my eyes and prayed for divine intervention.
I waited a beat and nothing happened.
Guess God was busy with war and famine and the like. -- Kristen Ashley
Babe, tell me right now you aren't fuckin' with me."
"I'm kind of fucking with you in the hopes that you'll return the favour," I replied. -- Kristen Ashley
You've touched yourself."
"It's not the same," I informed him irritably.
His head came up, he looked at me and he whispered, "No, baby, it's not. -- Kristen Ashley
The girls were there, her friends, her parents and he didn't give a fuck. He dipped in closer and kissed her lightly on the lips. -- Kristen Ashley
We were never fuck buddies, Ally. -- Kristen Ashley
It's a facade to hide the fact that my heart is breaking. But, whatever. That isn't your problem anymore. -- Kristen Ashley
You don't get it." "No, I don't. You've attempted to explain and I still don't. Mostly because I never got the concept of bullshit and I still don't, even when a beautiful woman is trying to feed it to me. -- Kristen Ashley
I'd eat a picnic in Hades with him. -- Kristen Ashley
So you were nervous too."
He grinned. "There was that, but mostly I figured I was good because you're really fuckin' into me."
"Sometimes your cocky is not hot," I snapped.
His brows went up. "There's times my cocky makes you hot?"
I didn't answer that. -- Kristen Ashley
So," Kate said, and I looked to her. "It's like Joe bein' the Lone Wolf, and Mawdy and us gettin' in there, and he's still hot and cool, but he's got us. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm in love with you, sweetheart. -- Kristen Ashley
Tab and I don't play it that way. You wanna order your old lady around, do what you do, not for me to say. I asked her to go, she didn't go. Not gonna make her. But you try, you'll deal with me -- Kristen Ashley
How 'bout a Buick?'
I wasn't sure but it was almost like I tasted vomit in the back of my throat. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm sorry," I said softly, but loud enough for him to hear. "I've been to my fair share of exhibitions, only yours made my heart hurt because my system couldn't process the beauty that met my eyes. -- Kristen Ashley
I love you too, bao bei, with everything I am, and I'll do it until the sun falls from the sky. -- Kristen Ashley
Max" Shauna greeted him, her voice a contented purr than she looked at me and her eyes grew cold. "Nina."
"She bitch from hell" I replied, Bitsy's head shot around and she looked at me with wide eyes, her fear had disappears, delighted astonishment in its place while Max grunted his amusement. -- Kristen Ashley
Swear to Christ, you're safe right here. I can give you that, Olivia. I can give you the night. I promise you that. -- Kristen Ashley
Tonight we learned we must hold tight to happiness, my dove. Every day ... every moment ... is a gift. We must hold tight to that, Madeleine, and never let go. -- Kristen Ashley
It was like she'd been deserted on an island, hadn't seen another human being in ten years and was beside herself with joy that she finally had more than a coconut to talk to. -- Kristen Ashley
He didn't know why she was there, didn't know why she kept coming back, didn't know, she could have a good man like Haines, why she left Haines's house and ended her night in Cal's bed. And he didn't care. She was there. -- Kristen Ashley
Creed caught me. My legs wrapped around his hips and my mouth hit his hard. He dropped to a knee then he dropped me to my back. We fucked on the kitchen floor. And burned the bacon. * -- Kristen Ashley
"Christ, here we go. Backbone." -- Kristen Ashley
Well, that's good. Least she'd be there to have your back when some rough chick in lockdown made the move to make you her bitch and you'd be able to return the favor. -- Kristen Ashley
You wanna beer?"
Jasper's brows shot up. "Seriously?"
"Fuck no," Layne replied. -- Kristen Ashley
Jesus, fuck, once we kill him, can I keep stabbing him? -- Kristen Ashley
Knight Sebring was loaded. On the surface of it, and Joker suspected some of that leaked into his skin, he was also total class. But if you hurt a woman, he'd slit your throat, do it personally, and walk away forgetting you existed. -- Kristen Ashley
I say, asshole!" she snapped. To this, Tack strangely responded, "Fifty thousand." Naomi's body went still and, incidentally, so did mine. "For each," Tack finished. What? -- Kristen Ashley
You are not movin' onto another guy," he crossed his arms on his chest and finished, "Ever." "That choice is not yours." "Yeah it is," he returned swiftly. "You can't give away what's mine." "You aren't getting this, Chace, but just now, I took it back." "Can't take back what's mine either. -- Kristen Ashley
Every step, every breath, every second I lived on this earth, I'm thankful for, no matter how fucked up or whacked or hard or good, 'cause all that shit led me to you. -- Kristen Ashley
I'd breathe. I'd eat. I might one day laugh again. But I wouldn't be living. There is no life for me without you. -- Kristen Ashley
And last, it was after he was relieved to find she was right about Psych. It wasn't geeky. There were no spaceships, alternate universes or fantastical explanations for ridiculous plot devices. It was just damned funny and, to top that, clever. -- Kristen Ashley
Who we are might not fit but it can still work."
More tears filled my eyes and I didn't clear the hoarse from my voice when I said, "I hope that keeps going too."
"I get that, Justice. You haven't hidden you been into me from the start. Or, if you tried, you're shit at it. -- Kristen Ashley
Now, my brothers are bustin' their asses to cover our shit, and you race to the bathroom like you're fifteen, we're in your bedroom, I just popped your cherry, and your Dad's at the door. Babe, I get you got issues but on top of all our other shit, we gotta spend some time sortin' those out. -- Kristen Ashley
You've got your way, the way you are and the way you are with the ones you care about. And that tells me, a man gets in there, you give that to him, the children you give him, that man will be all kinds of lucky. And I've decided we're gonna see if that man is me. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm thirty-five and single because I am not gonna settle for somethin' that doesn't feel right, doesn't feel good, doesn't bring me joy, doesn't have my back, doesn't know how to cook, keep house, listen, laugh, make me laugh, give great head, or ask me why I do shit. -- Kristen Ashley
Tonight's not my night to lose you, partner," I told him. "Tomorrow's not my day to lose you, either." I lifted my hand from his chest and brought it down in a fist
over his heart, my voice now shouting, "Never, never, never again will there be a time when it's my time to lose you! -- Kristen Ashley
Yes, I read. And yes, I do it a lot. And yes, I did it before you because life can suck and living in a fantasy world is a lot more fun than living in the real world sometimes. This was not a weak choice, it was an informed one. -- Kristen Ashley
Showed me a strong woman doesn't need keeping, but feels good to take care of her all the same. Better, you gotta fight for that privilege. -- Kristen Ashley
Belonging to me doesn't mean I'll make you do anything, it just means I consider you mine for as long as this lasts. It means I protect you, it means I take care of you. For another man, it might mean something different. Don't confuse me with another man -- Kristen Ashley
She needs time. I'm giving it to her."
"This is uncharacteristic of you, cousin," Achilles remarked.
Apollo held his gaze when he replied firmly, "I'm a man falling in love. We do many things that are uncharacteristic. -- Kristen Ashley
It was a nice compromise, something I'd never experienced before in my life. With Cooter I did the compromising, I didnt know what it was like to have a fair dose of what I wanted before I gave in to what someone else wanted. -- Kristen Ashley
I am going to heal you, Carson Steele. It's gonna happen. That's it. No response necessary. -- Kristen Ashley
I know I have a vagina, but that doesn't negate the fact that I have a brain and a spine, so I can make my own decisions about my life and deal with the consequences. I'm also not real big on dudes talking about my shit behind my back. -- Kristen Ashley
Twenty years apart, haunted by you, walkin' around with a hole in my soul. -- Kristen Ashley
Would have let me break the color code for shoes at work. These were borrowed from Indy's next door neighbor, who was Denver's top drag queen. Luckily, he had small feet; or I liked to think that way. Not that my feet were large. -- Kristen Ashley
closed my eyes tight then opened them and asked softly, "You love me?" "Baby, you were made for me. -- Kristen Ashley
Look at me when I tell you I love you," he ordered.
I focused on the man I loved who loved me in a return for an instant before he said the words.
"I love you, baby. -- Kristen Ashley
My beautiful Ivey. -- Kristen Ashley
You gonna order me to kiss you so I can get all tingly or are you just gonna stare at me?"
He knew his smile hit his eyes when he muttered, "Kiss me, honey. -- Kristen Ashley
Forgiveness is beautiful and it feels good when someone gives that gift to you. But it's one thing for someone you wronged to forgive you. It was another to forgive yourself. -- Kristen Ashley
Told you that Buddha belly of yours was hot," she reminded me. -- Kristen Ashley
There were smiles, chin jerks, head nods, handshakes and so much hot guy hormone floating in the air around them it was a wonder every female in a two block radius didn't instantly become pregnant. -- Kristen Ashley
Ava, you missed it when it happened so I'll clue you in. Last night, around the time you fell asleep against me, you became mine. -- Kristen Ashley
My God ... how magnificent of a man do you have to be to go through what you went through, doing it alone, nobody to ease the way, the pain, no mother, no brother no sister, all by yourself enduring that and fight your way to becoming all that you are. It isn't amazing. It's a darned miracle. -- Kristen Ashley
A year ago, I was too busy thinkin' about how lucky I was that someone as beautiful and talented as you let me into her bed to be bossy. Now I know you love me, I can be as bossy as I want. -- Kristen Ashley
He put his lips to my ear and said, "He hurts you, I'll fuck him up."
Loved my big brother. -- Kristen Ashley
Abel caught my eyes, and half a second later he was bending over me, his face an inch away.
"Why are you crying ?" he demanded to know, then didn't wait for my answer. He ripped the phone out of my hand, straightened , put it to his ear, and clipped, "You made her cry. -- Kristen Ashley
The best part, however, was watching Rocky eat a pile of custard-filled, hot fudge-topped profiteroles. He could swear, after the third bite, she was going to have an orgasm and, watching her, he nearly had one. -- Kristen Ashley
You are never alone, not when you have friends. Learn from my stories and, through thick and thin, remember, if you have friends you are never alone. Rock -- Kristen Ashley
Just that he was Hollywood handsome in the sense that I was pretty sure he was famous, because if there was anything right in this world, he simply had to be. Uh ... hi, -- Kristen Ashley
You should change your Password"
"not exactly a priority so I haven't got'round to it"
"I'll do it for you"I offered.
His arms gave me a squeeze and he grinned.
"What'll you chose?"
before I could stop my mouth from forming the words, I said "Shebitchfromhell666 -- Kristen Ashley
Yeah, I liked skank," he bit off. "Liked the taste. Wild, free, and easy. Went back for more. Repeatedly. But that was before I had my mouth between the legs of a lady. You get that, you don't go back. -- Kristen Ashley
This was it. This was us. This was what we'd be. Wild and free. -- Kristen Ashley
You're good at the flowery biker shit. -- Kristen Ashley
Any good woman knows two things. She knows how to take care of herself and she knows how to take care of the ones she loves. Today, you demonstrated you're a good woman Rees. And it was an honor to be there because it was a sight to behold. -- Kristen Ashley
You've missed everything. So I'll say it so you can understand it. I've been waiting to have you since I knew you existed. But I've been waiting for someone like you for five fucking centuries -- Kristen Ashley
Fuck. Fuck! He made sense. It was Asshole Invasive Sense (yes, meriting capital letters), but it was still sense. -- Kristen Ashley
Instead he said to me, "I recommend you get smart pretty fuckin' soon." "And I recommend you go fuck yourself," I shot back, -- Kristen Ashley
Every day is a new promise, Ben," I told him sharply. "Every night I go to sleep knowin' it's a promise, every day I wake knowin' in some way it's gonna be fulfilled. And repeat. For ... hopefully ... ever. -- Kristen Ashley
You have absolutely no idea what I need," I whispered. "And the sad part about that is that you didn't notice you'd already given me everything I'd ever need just letting me sit at your dinner table with your family." And on that, I closed and locked the door. -- Kristen Ashley
Life has certain things planned. I find, for some people, it takes you places you don't want to go but the path leads to where you need to be. -- Kristen Ashley
Just to be difficult, I kept on my tee and my panties (which thank God, were mocha-colored satin hipsters with a load of beige lace and not ratty old ones that sagged at the ass) -- Kristen Ashley
I didn't exactly give you a choice, seein' as you were playing games, fuckin' another guy and I needed to stake me claim. I did, I'm here, I'm stayin'. -- Kristen Ashley
Because it means that much to me, I'm gonna handle this with care. You just gotta believe me. -- Kristen Ashley
The best heroes always have scars. If they didn't, the heroine would have nothing to do. It's her job to help the hero let all that stuff go in order that her man can be strong enough to fight on but when he's with here's free to just breathe. -- Kristen Ashley
Don't know why folks need diamonds and pearls, fur coats, first-class tickets, island adventures when simple shit like this is the best thing you could ever do. -- Kristen Ashley
We almost couldn't fit all of our hair into the car, but luckily we were wearing fewer clothes so it balanced out. -- Kristen Ashley
Straight up, this is the man in your bed. I want in there, Faye, and when I get in there, I'm gonna dig in deep so when I share my shit that's so dark you'll be blinded by it and you'll wanna run to the light, you can't because I'm so deep, you can't let go. -- Kristen Ashley
There are men out there who know how to treat a woman right and you're gonna find one, babe, but the only way you can do that is to scrape off the one who doesn't treat you right. There -- Kristen Ashley
How hard is it, when what lies in the balance is something you love, to admit you're wrong? -- Kristen Ashley
You love a job, no matter how hard it is, it's still easy. Not sure, never studied up on the guy, could be wrong, but I reckon Michelangelo didn't wake up and think, 'Fuck , I gotta drag my ass outta bed. More painting at the Sistine Chapel. Wish that shit was done so I could get to a fuckin' beach. -- Kristen Ashley
I looked back at him. "I'm in love with you, so yes." He closed his eyes and he did it slowly, dropping his head. That meant something to him. I stared at him. Tall, broad, strong, scary, dude-you-don't-mess-with Knight Sebring, head bowed, overcome. No, I was wrong. It meant everything to him. -- Kristen Ashley
She loves that shit. Dashing hopes, killing dreams. -- Kristen Ashley
I think you're worried about nothing," I told him.
"And I think I got a dick," he told me and I blinked at his words. "And havin' a dick, I know how other guys who got one think. -- Kristen Ashley
I wil not calm down. My baby girl is moving halfway across the country."
"She's been moved away before," Dad pointed out.
"Yeah, but that was with Billy. We all knew he wouldn't work out. We're talking about Hank here. Look at him," she pointed to Hank.
"She's never coming home. Never. -- Kristen Ashley
Don't worry. He won't be hard to talk around. Doin' the business that makes a baby is one of his favorite things."
"One of them?" I teased.
"He likes fucking a whole lot, but my man's addicted to blowjobs and that's me taking it in the wrong end to make babies. -- Kristen Ashley
See, that's the beauty of books. We get to take what we want out of them and it can be different for everyone. You get a good one, you may even find what you need. -- Kristen Ashley
Not worth it," Cheryl decreed, "been there, done that, got the fuckin' t-shirt and it didn't fit so I threw the motherfucker out. -- Kristen Ashley
Hey," he whispered.
Oh.
Wow.
"Hey," I whispered back.
He curled his fingers around the side of my neck and slid them up to my jaw.
"You good?"he asked.
I swallowed. Then nodded.
"Wanna be better? -- Kristen Ashley
Neeta lunged for Jonas, grasping his arm and tugging him violently out of mine. So violently, I watched his shoulder wrench in an unnatural way and he let out a surprised but agonized cry of pain. When -- Kristen Ashley
Everyone knew the hero in any good romance had to have his fair share of experience. If he didn't, how was he going to be a good teacher, showing his lady love how to give him pleasure at the same time giving her more than she'd ever dreamed? -- Kristen Ashley
Tex looked at Duke "She's got spunk," he said.
"Where I come from, we call it sass," Duke replied.
"Where I come from, we call it attitude," Smithie put in.
"Oh for the love of God, whatever you call
it, are you in or are you out?" Jules clipped. -- Kristen Ashley
FYI, baby, havin' your attitude back is so far from annoying, it's not fuckin' funny. -- Kristen Ashley
Pure joy," she told me on a smile. "Wake up to it, go to bed with it and it comes from Adam. How lucky can I get? -- Kristen Ashley
Sweet Pea, the way you eat means you got tits and ass. This is good because I like tits and ass. This is bad because Tack and Lawson like 'em just as much as me. Then he shoved his noodles and veg into his mouth and said with his mouth full, Tack maybe more. -- Kristen Ashley
Heya, Arlene. What's shakin'?" Cotton greeted.
"Don't shift some of this weight, everything," Arlene replied. -- Kristen Ashley
I might see a pretty woman, but even if I do, I'm not doin' my job if you don't know down to your gut there's nothin' I see that's as beautiful as what I see in you. -- Kristen Ashley
But he didn't hold me when we slept. We didn't make love. He didn't curl his fingers around my breast in the unconscious but still possessive way Max was doing at that very moment. -- Kristen Ashley
Because she was stuck in a cabin with a murdering madman who thought she was his queen and intended to bind her to him until she died -- Kristen Ashley
Logan spoke Badass.
There were only a few words in the Vocabulary of Badass but each one had a number of meanings. They included beautiful, Christ, fuck, Jesus, and shit.
But the one used most was babe. -- Kristen Ashley
And seeing her makeup free, in a nightgown and ponytail, her lips bruised from his kisses, her face flushed with sex, he thought she'd never looked more adorable, never prettier, beyond beautiful. -- Kristen Ashley
Knight's eyes settled on his woman and his, "Baby," was a warning. Anya's glare stayed glued to her man in a way Nick knew she was telling him he could shove his warning right up his ass. He -- Kristen Ashley
And a trashy romance novel. I don't care which one, but the less the guy on the cover is wearing, the better. Tattoos are a plus. Leather is another plus. And if there's an indication that he's a shifter, buy the whole series. -- Kristen Ashley
Yeah. She's Law. Street name. Got it 'cause she's The Law. Gonna bring down all the dealers. She goes out huntin' 'em down at night, just like Batman," Sniff announced. -- Kristen Ashley
Daisy said to me that I was trying to find ways to protect my heart but I was doing it wrong. She told me the best way to protect my heart was to trust it to someone who will protect it for me.
More silence but his body went completely still.
That's you. It's always been you. -- Kristen Ashley
This party was not in the least like a party a wolf would throw. For one thing, no one had shown up smashed. For another thing, even though it started an hour ago, still no one was smashed. -- Kristen Ashley
Then he threw the bottle through the doorway of the kitchen. It flew into the living room and smashed against the wall. -- Kristen Ashley
I grabbed my shot of tequila. Then I tossed it back. When I put my empty down to the bar and after I took in a deep breath, I informed her, I like you. I need a new best friend. I've added you to the top of a list that has one name. Yours. -- Kristen Ashley
That was the brilliance of being the kidless best friend. You got all the good shit, never had to put up with the bad and the devotion that came from that was like a priceless treasure. -- Kristen Ashley
Then she declared loudly, "Smoke break!" and everyone's eyes came to us, some of them shocked seeing as these days you could light up a doobie and no one would blink but if you lit up a smoke, you courted being publicly stoned to death. -- Kristen Ashley
If I could have wished what I thought was my perfect mate on the wind and had her come back to me in a storm, I could never have come up with anything as exquisite as you. -- Kristen Ashley
I'd like to know why you dialed my number tonight, but if you don't wanna share that shit, that's cool too. I'll just say, babe, I'm glad you did. You need a safe place just to forget shit and escape, I'll give it to you. Tonight. Tomorrow. Next week. Next month. That safe place is me, Tabby. -- Kristen Ashley
What the fuck!" Smithie shouted. "Where did you all go? Is anyone fuckin' there? I'm in a fuckin' tree. Jesus fuckin' Christ. -- Kristen Ashley
She threw herself in his arms and laid a hot, wet one on him. They went at it to catcalls, shouts of encouragement, offers to get them a room, and his mother yelling, Thank God Father Francis couldn't make it! -- Kristen Ashley
He looked to his daughter. Trust you to find a warrior this good-lookin'. Fuck me, little girl, not a man I clapped eyes on in my life was a match for you, 'cept this motherfucker, -- Kristen Ashley
Colonel Mustard did it, however the motherfucker did it, his ass is in the hole. -- Kristen Ashley
I didn't think much of men's pajamas, ever. Only Max could make pajamas, even every day, normal pajama bottoms and a t-shirt like the ones he was wearing, look so darned good. -- Kristen Ashley
I had never ridden on a Harley that had only two wheels. I'd never ridden on any motorcycle that had only two wheels. -- Kristen Ashley
What you need is to let go of that emotion you're holdin' back and what I need is for you to give it to me. -- Kristen Ashley
Are you saying we should start up where we left off?"
His comeback was instant. "Did it ever end for you? -- Kristen Ashley
I like it that you have no clue how to kiss but still, the two kisses I've shared with you are the best I've ever had. By far. -- Kristen Ashley
Whose SUV is this?" I asked once we were out of Carnal.
"Mine." He answered.
I looked at him. "You drive a Harley."
"Not big on puttin' bad guys on the back of my bike when I hunt them down, Ace. Fucks with my street cred. -- Kristen Ashley
Fuck me, how a woman can be so transparent and so full of shit at the same time is beyond me, but, baby, you got it down to an art -- Kristen Ashley
But she was one of those skanky skanks who looked cool. Who worked her skankedness. Who made skankdom something you'd consider aspiring to. -- Kristen Ashley
I hope she doesn't break up with Dane. He's the hottest guy in school and he's nice. That means you both have the hottest, nicest guys in school and in town. This means good things for my future because I'm up next. -- Kristen Ashley
Well Buddy's in the kitchen grating cheese like a grating fool. We've decided to do nacho's. Ralphie's gaze moved to Hector and he informed him, It's the food of your people. -- Kristen Ashley
It isn't your problem." She leaned back, glaring and speaking. "Yeah. That's the part that makes me want to slap you upside your head. -- Kristen Ashley
This means she's mine. No one touches what's mine. And they sure as fuck don't beat her, rape her and leave her broken. Did you see her fuckin' house? -- Kristen Ashley
Organic Greek yogurt, a banana, a tablespoon of peanut butter, a squeeze of honey, a dash of milk, a bunch of ice cubes and a scoop of protein powder. The -- Kristen Ashley
I spent years tryin' to shield her from her choices, didn't work. I'm not gonna let you do it and I'm not gonna teach you that someone's gonna shield you from shit. You gotta learn too. You make choices, they're yours and you gotta take responsibility for them. -- Kristen Ashley
I'll go gentle, baby," he whispered against my lips. "I promise. You'll always be safe with me."
Oh. My.
"Mitch," I breathed.
His soulful eyes held mine captive as he repeated firmly, "Always. -- Kristen Ashley
The best way to guard your heart was to trust a good man to take care of it for you. -- Kristen Ashley
I don't get a taste of you soon, I'm givin' up the search and takin' you to my cabin in Grand Lake. No phones, no cell coverage, no buzzer. Anyone knocks on the door and I'm shooting them. -- Kristen Ashley
You're the girl you take out to dinner. Get the good champagne. You pay her attention. Buy her some shit that softens her up and makes her happy. Then you hope all that sweet turns wild when you get her in bed. -- Kristen Ashley
Since I decided to buy an island and move there with my favorite volleyball," Deacon shot back, watched his friend's lips twitch, ignored it, and moved into the room, shrugging off his coat and throwing it on the bed. -- Kristen Ashley
There is nowhere for this to go that's good and you know it, just like me."
"The only thing I know is, what's at the end of the road we're on is unknown. Along the way, I break through that fortress you've built around you and manage to extract your head from your ass, it'll be worth the trip. -- Kristen Ashley
You're very arrogant, Hopper Kincaid."
"Yeah, well, man gets that way when a woman that looks like you comes as hard as I can make you come. -- Kristen Ashley
Oh dear, Diandra muttered again as I looked down at the baby tiger in my arms. All I felt was the soft, thick fur of the cub, the pads of its cute, fluffy paws. All I saw was her proud nose and rounded ears and beautiful, pale blue eyes looking up at me with complete trust. Oh shit. I was in love. -- Kristen Ashley
Question: what did you do when you got exactly what you always wanted? Answer: you went shopping with your best friend then got ice cream. -- Kristen Ashley
Sally didn't waste any time getting Prentice up to speed. Mister Mikey says we can call Mrs. Evangahlala, Miss Bella and I'm doing the crunchy and smushy bits for dinner. -- Kristen Ashley
returned, smiling back. "Where's Rhonda?" Dean asked when she was four steps from the bottom and Dusty's head turned her dad's way. "Bedroom," she muttered, hitting the bottom of the -- Kristen Ashley
Because she's my mother, he's the finest man I know and I want them both to be happy but I still don't know whether to slap him on the back, threaten him, punch him or vomit on his shoes. -- Kristen Ashley
I was a cold motherfucker, off the grid, no life, no home, no ties, no emotions, everyone knew it. Until I came back to some rundown cabins I'd been to before that were off the beaten path. Perfect place for the minimal downtime I let myself have. Quiet place. A place no one could find m -- Kristen Ashley
You're Mara, you're sweet, you're beautiful and I will not forget until the day I die how beautiful it felt to slide inside you with you wrapped around me, see your eyes get wet and know straight in my gut that you felt how beautiful it was too. -- Kristen Ashley
How did you know about the pool?" I asked my mother. "Colt told Morrie, Morrie told Jack, Jack told me," Mom answered. Next time I ran away from home, I was going to a big city. The biggest. In China. Where not only were there billions of people, I didn't speak their language and they had good food. -- Kristen Ashley
Worth the wait," Joe muttered and my head tipped back.
"What?"
"Every bit of it. Every day, every week, every year, every fuckin' second, buddy," he kept muttering, his eyes intense, his face serious and my breath caught, "this. All of it. Worth the wait. -- Kristen Ashley
Then he dipped his head, touched his mouth to mine and then lifted it away before he whispered, "Yeah, and I'm fucking glad you did. You were magnificent, sweetness. Fuckin' phenomenal. -- Kristen Ashley
That's an unusual name," I muttered. "Yeah," he agreed, dragging me down the luxuriant hall toward the elevators. "I kind of like it," I blurted, because I did. But after I blurted that I kind of wished I didn't. "I can die happy," he murmured. -- Kristen Ashley
She then figured Cash would catch her. His legs were longer and even though he was standing behind the counter and she couldn't see it was unlikely he was wearing high heels. -- Kristen Ashley
For the first time in twenty-two years after the jaw tilt, Feb didn't take her eyes off him. And for the first time in twenty-two years, he gave her a smile. -- Kristen Ashley
How did Terrible Teddy's face get like that?"
"Me."
"You hit him?"
"He touched you, you said it hurt. I found him and beat the shit out of him."
Oh ... my ... God. -- Kristen Ashley
Herb nodded. "Problem is, you knocked up your girl. That's the only way women'll allow you to get away with a Justice of the Peace." Herb looked back to Hank as many of the men coughed to hide their laughter. "That's the ticket, son, only way to save us all. Start workin' on makin' a baby. -- Kristen Ashley
You had your chance tonight, babe. And you got to your knees beside me. There's no turning back. You can't give me that, all of that, and take it away. You need to get this, baby, and right now I need to know you do. -- Kristen Ashley
It's good she hooked up with me, she's such a nut, she needs a badass to take her back. -- Kristen Ashley
Fuck me, babe, seriously? You knocked yourself out to make me wild. Why, Lanie? Why the fuck would you pull out all the fuckin' stops to make a man already drunk on you drunker? -- Kristen Ashley
Baby, come here. -- Kristen Ashley
You talk to him next year, another ring's gonna be sittin' at the base of that one."
I felt my throat get tight.
Tate went on. "We'll get married in April, anniversary we met. -- Kristen Ashley
Fiona had spent months choosing furniture, spent years buying and even paying off paintings that she'd found, deliberated greatly over the frames she'd buy to put her family's photos in.
The blinds ...
The crockery ...
The ... the ...
The nerve! -- Kristen Ashley
His mouth came down on mine and the belly flutter broke the Richter scale. -- Kristen Ashley
So, you know when the limit's up on love?" he asked and I felt my chest depress as the profound weight of his question hit me. "No," I whispered. "Right. No. No one does. Not you. Not me. No one. -- Kristen Ashley
I never dreamed any fuckin' dream," he whispered, and the smile faded from her face as tears filled her eyes.
She understood him.
"Shy-"
"Didn't dream it, saw it, waited my time, and then you gave it to me. -- Kristen Ashley
He immediately went down with a thud and I was pretty certain most of the furniture in the room jumped when he landed. -- Kristen Ashley
There was ... uh, in my book, you know," her legs moved against his and she finished so low he barely heard her, "a really good sex scene. -- Kristen Ashley
You hear even a hint that a blizzard's coming, Roxanne Giselle, you go straight to the store and buy toilet paper, you hear me? And make a pot of chili or stew. Don't get caught out. I don't want a phone call saying you starved to death, stuck in the house with no stew. -- Kristen Ashley
If you let whatever you got inside you loose, you'd make a man incredibly happy. You'd be a dream he couldn't build. You'd be everything. -- Kristen Ashley
I didn't speak macho alpha , therefore could not communicate telepathically, via chin lifts or through actions to other macho alphas, -- Kristen Ashley
I like you ... "I got up on my toes to get in his face, "a lot".
"You haven't made that a secret."
"Maybe I should start doing that," I retorted ...
"Butterfly, advice. Don't start playin' new games when you're already winnin' the one you're in. -- Kristen Ashley
Dad was worried, I could tell. This was not a surprise. He was the kind of dad who loved you so much he hurt when you hurt, and when you lost something precious he lost it right with you. On -- Kristen Ashley
Honest to Christ, give you anything. Anything, baby. But lost enough time. Can't give you that. Space , maybe. Time. No. -- Kristen Ashley
We'd been back together for four days. I thought that was pretty much the definition of 'too soon'. Then again, we'd known each other for thirty-nine years and that was undeniably the definition of 'about fucking time'. -- Kristen Ashley
When you're away from him and you realize this is madness, you find me, you call me, you write me, I don't give a fuck what you do.
I'll be pissed off, baby, and I'll make you work for it. But I love you enough to get over it and take you back. I promise you that. -- Kristen Ashley
Preciate the wakeup blowjob, baby. Feel free to do that any time the spirit moves you. -- Kristen Ashley
Man's got the power to break a woman's heart. Women have their own power. Learn this in future, choose better. -- Kristen Ashley
You own a dress that won't make my dick get hard?"
Her eyes got squinty, but her mouth stayed closed.
"Can I take that as a no?" he pushed.
"FYI, women don't like it when men talk like that, Benny Bianchi."
"Bullshit, Francesca Concetti. They fuckin' love that shit. -- Kristen Ashley
It was about being scared shitless, knowing the source of your fears, understanding them, outsmarting them, and going forth to conquer them anyway. I -- Kristen Ashley
Naomi, I asked you to suck my cock, you'd have your mouth wrapped around it so fast, you'd break the sound barrier. -- Kristen Ashley
You wanna know what else I know?" he asked.
"What do you know, honey?"
"My girl is gonna marry me. -- Kristen Ashley
You know, Stone, just because a pretty girl prefers a firefighter to you doesn't mean all the boys at that firehouse need to suffer for you bein' jilted. Far's I know, you got served this lesson at least once before. Learn, son. You may actually land a girl one day if you stop actin' like an ass. -- Kristen Ashley
He wanted to be in a bad mood, so be it. Whatever. I had a new baby tiger who could talk to me and thought I was her Loolah! -- Kristen Ashley
Every human being has to have compassion and try to be understanding, and that goes double for people who share your blood, -- Kristen Ashley
Meow, meow, meow. Meow meow. Meoow, Boo told me, obviously having a full day and feeling I needed to be kept apprised of every second of it. -- Kristen Ashley
No bullshit. Out there. Open. My Jussy." He looked again into my eyes. "Made for me. -- Kristen Ashley
You promise to hold on to me, I'll promise to hold on to you and we'll make it through. -- Kristen Ashley
Sweet Jesus! Sweet, sweet Jesus!" Mom called to the Savior, caught up in the divine intervention that was Hank and me.
I narrowed my eyes at her. "Stop cal ing Jesus, Mom. Hank's gonna think you're weird," I snapped.
"She is weird," Dad said.
"I'm not weird," Mom returned. -- Kristen Ashley
My mother named me Knight because she needed one. -- Kristen Ashley
Not sure I get why this shit's a secret but you two bein' just a hookup is not where that's at. Unless you're going'for the all-time record of longest hookup, and, just a head's up, brother, there's another way people refer to that shit and it's called a relationship. -- Kristen Ashley
Saw him come outta the garage at you, I knew," he muttered against my skin. "I was strugglin' with it but I knew then. I knew you were my girl. -- Kristen Ashley
That's gross! Mister Hop had his tongue in your mouth!" After which he instantly turned to his father and kept yelling, "You do that to Mom too and it's sick". -- Kristen Ashley
I don't get my tees at a mall, Tess. No decent tee can be bought at a fuckin' mall. A good tee is bought during an experience. -- Kristen Ashley
I'll take this. I'll take this every day and every day I'll know in the end I beat that bastard. He might not have been alive to see it, but I bet his goddamned, motherfucking ass.
Seriously, he was hot when he was being all vengeful badass. -- Kristen Ashley
Things that are normal are just normal. Thus it is my experience that most things that are weird are cool. -- Kristen Ashley
That teeters over the edge of macho crazy, Knight," I informed him.
"Yeah," he was completely not offended, "Head's up, babe, get used to that. -- Kristen Ashley
Do you understand what I'm sayin' to you? -- Kristen Ashley
And Laurie was Tate's Elise. He had Jonas, so she wasn't his everything, but that didn't mean she didn't make up half his world. Once half of your world was torn from you, you could live to be a hundred and never build it back up. Never. -- Kristen Ashley
French martinis or lemon drops or cosmos and impromptu viewings of Auntie Mame (the Rosalind Russell version, not the Lucille Ball version) or Steel Magnolias. -- Kristen Ashley
If you ever carry forth a plot that threatens my golden queen, you will die choking on your own balls and you'll do it while staring in my eyes -- Kristen Ashley
Jumpin' Jehosafats, I think I just creamed my pants,"
Annette whispered, staring at Luke. Luke's eyes locked on me. He lifted his hand and crooked his finger.
"I was wrong about before. Now, I've definitely creamed my pants," Annette breathed. -- Kristen Ashley
Lee, apparently protected by an invisible Badass Shield, was simply standing in the middle of the mayhem, staring at the burning remains of the car. Luke, much like Lee, was standing smack in the chaos, pieces of car on fire all around him, and his eyes were on me. -- Kristen Ashley
Christ, you're pretty, even standin' there plotting my murder. -- Kristen Ashley
This is the us you wanted us to be, Gwen. -- Kristen Ashley
What's going on" she asked.
"You been in on it the whole time, Roc, you know what's going on," he answered. -- Kristen Ashley
It was my experience the only people who didn't tread cautiously with badasses were kids. They adored badasses and had no qualms approaching or engaging them in conversation. Badasses were kid magnets, and if the badass was a true badass, he had no qualms about this either. -- Kristen Ashley
I love you," he declared. "Loved you then. Love you now. Never quit lovin' you in a way I know I never will. You were it for me, the only one, the only woman I ever loved, and you never quit bein' it. -- Kristen Ashley
Any one of those boys wanted to push me around, I'd say bring it on. Hell, I'd pay for one of 'em to move into my house. They don't even have to do me; just walk around so I can watch. Maybe in a towel. -- Kristen Ashley
I loved you before you took your first breath on this earth because that was my fate but you made me love you because you're just ... fucking ... you. -- Kristen Ashley
They didn't understand, it not being directed at them, what that smile could do. The power of it. It was like every time he smiled he'd opened a chest of treasure and said, All this is yours. -- Kristen Ashley
Right. Love you, Ty."
"Done to my bones, mama, right back at you. -- Kristen Ashley
My Ty. My Ty. Christ. Fuck. Christ. Two words. Just two words. Walker had no clue until that moment that two words could mean so fucking much. He'd never belonged to anyone. He'd never belonged anywhere. Never thought he wanted to. Until he heard those two words. -- Kristen Ashley
Tyra told me you two went at it for days over a flippin' fridge. Badasses are capable of and don't hesitate to throw down about a fridge. An IT geek does not care what kind of fridge you buy. An IT geek just thanks his lucky stars he's gettin' it regular. -- Kristen Ashley
Will you stay out of it?" he clipped.
"She's holdin' onto me, bud, I'd say I'm in it," Tate returned. -- Kristen Ashley
Sometimes you kill me, baby. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm awesome all the time, babe. -- Kristen Ashley
Beauty," he whispered.
"What?" I asked.
"Beauty. It's pure beauty you don't wanna be away from me. I don't like that, baby. I love it -- Kristen Ashley
Do not stand still for injustice. If you know something isn't right, find your strength and stand against it. -- Kristen Ashley
What I did know was that I was someone special to Luke and I always had been, just like he was and always had been to me. And that knowledge made my world tilt so much, I was certain I was going to fall off. -- Kristen Ashley
Last night, instead of sleeping,he just lay behind her, listening to her breathe and thinking that sound was sweeter than any song he'd ever heard her sing. And his Stella had a beautiful voice, never heard better. -- Kristen Ashley
It was then I was seeing the wisdom of doing what I could to amass a girl posse who knew how to deal with "uber-alphas" because they could share their wisdom. -- Kristen Ashley
This is it. You and me. No matter what. -- Kristen Ashley
He'd told me time and again to live my life, enjoy it, figure out who I was and what I wanted, and only then go out and find it. And when I did, not to settle for anything less. -- Kristen Ashley
You think, you got a dick, you gotta do the work. Make the plays. Give the chase. Fight the good fight. But you're wrong. -- Kristen Ashley
You back a man in a corner, you gotta bear the consequences when he does what he has to do to fight his way out. -- Kristen Ashley
You in my life, me livin' in hell, feels like I've been touched by an angel. -- Kristen Ashley
In fact, when he wasn't being a jerk, controlling or a pain in the ass, he looked at me ...
He looked at me ...
Oh hell, he looked at me like I was his life. -- Kristen Ashley
If it's just you sharing your feelings, perhaps you can voice it less like an order," I suggested.
"I'm used to giving orders and if it sounds like one then there's always a chance you'll obey. -- Kristen Ashley
You think to slide back, settle for something that made you run away because you think it's safe, because it's familiar, because your scare of taking a GAMBLE on me, I'm warning you now, Duchess, I'm not gonna allow that. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm glad that when I was on the sidewalk on the square in town with you and Casey all those years ago, I decided for the first time in my life not to play it safe."
"I'm glad too, Ivey, seriously fuckin' glad you took a chance on me. -- Kristen Ashley
Keep 'im off it, then," Elvira declared. "Man's gettin' more than his fair share of blowjobs, gonna have his mind on his woman's mouth, not on some motherfucker with a screw loose." A giggle erupted from me because that was the truth. -- Kristen Ashley
Something to learn about me," I told him, "I'm a Snooze Button Girl. -- Kristen Ashley
Before we learn what's right, we put our trust in the wrong people, and it's never good to start life's adventures, especially important ones like marriage, when we're too young even to know ourselves. -- Kristen Ashley
If we have daughters I'm starting How to Deal with Badasses when they're five."
His eyes were lit but his expression was full-on tender when he returned, "We have boys , they get How to Deal with Stubborn Bitches Who Argue About Meaningless Shit starting at three. -- Kristen Ashley
The trouble was, all their eyes came to me when I opened the door and Morrie grinned a my-girl's-gonna-get-herself-some grin. Colt looked like he wanted someone to tear his own fingernails out by the roots. And Cal looked like he was having trouble not busting a gut laughing. -- Kristen Ashley
I held him close and Shy stayed buried deep, his hand holding mine tight, his breath heavy against my skin, mine the same against his. -- Kristen Ashley
Love you, Tabby." Oh yes. I pressed the insides of my thighs to his hips, wrapped my arms tight around him, and whispered in his ear, "Love you too, Shy." His mouth moved below my ear and he murmured against my skin, "Everything to me. -- Kristen Ashley
I want you so attached you can't imagine a life without me. I don't give a fuck if that's selfish, that's what I want because, Abby, you must know, I already can't imagine life without you. -- Kristen Ashley
Lonely's a different kind of pain, it doesn't hurt as bad as heartbreak. I preferred it and embraced it 'cause I reckoned it was one or the other. -- Kristen Ashley
Can I just ask, after we find this guy, can we talk about the Vibrator Ceremony? I'm thinking of making us all kind of choir like robes to wear but with sequins and some satin sashes as belts. Maybe in chartreuse. -- Kristen Ashley
Aunt Bette." I started squirming toward her voice. "Are you okay?" "No, I'm not okay. We've been kidnapped and Marsh is drinking martinis and probably flirting with the waitress!" she snapped, and it sounded like she too was moving but not in my direction. -- Kristen Ashley
Then he walked home thinking he'd given Clarisse Haines her first kiss and thinking it would far from suck if he was also the guy who gave her her last and no one in between -- Kristen Ashley
I was me. I thought what I thought. I liked what I liked. And I didn't hide much of anything. Life was exhausting enough with all the ups and downs and bullshit people kept trying to feed you. Expending that kind of effort for essentially no purpose seemed a ridiculous waste of energy. -- Kristen Ashley
If you stay, in a week, a month, ten years, it will eventually sink in that I left you to that. I didn't protect you. I didn't believe in you. What do I do when the bitterness creeps in, Elle, and you can't bear to be with me anymore? What do I do? -- Kristen Ashley
I'm not whacked!" I stated (loudly).
"Ally, you been fuckin' me for a goddamned year, in love with me since the night we met, and pushing me away that whole time. That's whacked. -- Kristen Ashley
Mace had to be six foot three, had the prerequisite Nightingale Investigation Team killer bod; black hair, jade eyes and a jaw so square, it could be used in math class. -- Kristen Ashley
Hey! Don't drink from my drink!"
He replaced the glass on the table and looked at her. "Why?"
"It's my drink!"
"Yes. And?"
"You can't drink my drink!"
"And why not?"
"Because it's my drink."
He sighed her name, "Leah."
She mimicked his sigh sarcastically. "Lucien. -- Kristen Ashley
He stopped in the doorway and his eyes flicked to Sam whereupon he mumbled, "Dude, cool to meet you, big fan," then he looked back at me and exploded, "Seriously, Kiakee, what ... the ... fuck? -- Kristen Ashley
He thinks I'm beautiful and told me so. He thinks I'm funny because I make him laugh all the time. He's fantastic in bed and when I say that not once, not even once have we been together where he's not taken care of me and it's not unheard of he takes care of me twice in one go. -- Kristen Ashley
Yeah, it had a blah, blah, blah, with its blahdity, blah, blah. Then there was the blah, blah blah." Of course, he used words for the "blah blahs", but I didn't understand a single one of them. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm not gonna tell her!" I shouted back, beginning to lose patience with Rosie. I forgave myself for losing patience. I figured that happened when you got shot at. I'd never been shot at, but I was always a quick learner. -- Kristen Ashley
Hey, Reece."
There was nothing but silence for a while and I waited.
Then Reece said, "Expected it to happen eventually, darlin', but didn't expect it to hit me that hard the first time I heard a man answer your phone. -- Kristen Ashley
I pointed my eyes straight ahead too and muttered, "I'm sure I'll find something I can do." I felt Frey's eyes on me, kept mine aimed at the hall then I heard Frey sigh. "Indeed, you will and this terrifies me," he muttered back and that was when I allowed myself to giggle. -- Kristen Ashley
Call me hopeless romantic but I want to see my friend with the guy she's been pining for forever ... I want that more than anything on this earth. -- Kristen Ashley
Me, rope, speed and jumping was not a good mix. -- Kristen Ashley
But you could see deep inside Darth was struggling. Because deep inside he was Anakin. There's no Anakin in Trane Keaton! I shouted then I found myself on my back in the bed with Chace on top of me. -- Kristen Ashley
Cash, you can't have me, I'm not yours to have," she told him, her voice now sounding a wee bit desperate.
His mouth came back to hers and she felt that he was still smiling. "Oh yes, darling, you are," he said there and he kissed her. -- Kristen Ashley
When gettin' off wasn't worth puttin' up with her, I ended it -- Kristen Ashley
Faye, honey, breathe." -- Kristen Ashley
I have to admit I'm not real sure you being equipped to scrape her off at the drop of a hat fills me with joy."
"I get that, Tab. What you don't get is, she isn't you. -- Kristen Ashley
You weren't born princess, Finnie Drakkar, but that does not mean you're not one. -- Kristen Ashley
Your husband would anchor himself to a block of granite should you ask."
"No, I wouldn't," Frey entered the conversation. "So, wife, do not ask."
Finnie threw a smile over her shoulder -- Kristen Ashley
Did Raiders have enemies? Oh God! Of course they did! I read the stories. Maybe they weren't romanticized. Maybe the sea was filled with perils. Maybe he'd looted and pillaged and now it was payback time. And he was out there in nothing but breeches! -- Kristen Ashley
I love you, Frey. I'm in love with you. So in love, I'll never stop loving you. Not ever. You, everything about you is beyond my wildest dreams. -- Kristen Ashley
Okay, this bitch had style and class but she was whacked. -- Kristen Ashley
You are, my wee Finnie, beyond my wildest dreams. -- Kristen Ashley
You better go. The cool-as-shit elves are waiting. -- Kristen Ashley
You're beautiful, Finnie, but by the gods you have never been more beautiful than you are right now, spread before me, wrapped in my wool and filled with me -- Kristen Ashley
There are little fairies outside," I breathed, forcing out the words through quick breaths. His brows drew together in a way that wasn't scary but, instead, surprised and he replied, "Those aren't fairies, wife, those are elves." Elves? Elves. -- Kristen Ashley
I was in no mood to argue. I was in the mood to go to sleep for fifty years, wake up an old maid and live out my life in a nursing home with my only excitement being Friday Night Bingo. -- Kristen Ashley
My life was over, finished, and I'd never seen Pearl Jam play live -- Kristen Ashley
Marcie looked like her father but she acted like her mother. Sweet. Shy. Smart. Quiet. Loyal. Unconsciously funny. And clueless to just how beautiful she was and how much love she provoked. -- Kristen Ashley
You of course know," he began informatively, "that one of the most attractive things a woman can be is knowing exactly who she is, embracing that entirely, and not giving that first fuck what anyone thinks about it. -- Kristen Ashley
You want sweet dreams, lose the attitude and you might find I'll give you reason to have them.
Tate to Lauren -- Kristen Ashley
Babe?" Hop called.
"As of now, I'm not talking to you," I announced with a mouth full of donut.
"Love you more than life. -- Kristen Ashley
Wherever you were born and whatever you did, pool hustler, showgirl, tonight, you were a rancher's woman and just like you, when you do somethin', you're the best there is. -- Kristen Ashley
Injected, the drug that was Hop coursed through my veins. I had it back in a way I couldn't believe I'd ever managed to live without it. -- Kristen Ashley
Mitch
"
"All right, baby, I'll shut you up."
Then he did, his head slanting and his lips taking mine in a repeat performance of the open-mouthed, knock my socks off, rock my world, best kiss in the history of all time. -- Kristen Ashley
God. He could even dive perfectly.
In jeans.
Or maybe it was perfect because it was hot and he was doing it in jeans.
Or maybe it was just hot because he was joining me. -- Kristen Ashley
Sassy," he said through a smile. Then decreed, "Old lady." "Damn straight," I returned. -- Kristen Ashley
Yeah, you can ask that and I'll promise to do what I can do. But, Ace, since I was a kid, I had a temper. Tellin' you that don't mean I can't compromise, just means I am who I am, I know who I am, and you gotta take me as I am and learn to get over it. -- Kristen Ashley
The library serves as a gathering place for friends who
share the love of books. It further serves as a resource for those who escape the pressure of everyday
life, doing it by losing themselves in the written word. -- Kristen Ashley
It wasn't that they participated in criminal activity. It was that their activities could be construed as criminal. -- Kristen Ashley
Standing beside Gray in the Fellowship Hall, we watched Grandma Miriam do her socializing exactly like she did last Sunday (and I enjoyed watching it). This proved what Gray had told me that she was born in Mustang and lived her whole life there seeing as she knew every single person in that church. -- Kristen Ashley
Dead. It was me who was with her, me who found her. Felt her throat, no pulse. I gotta tell you, Red, there is nothin', not one thing in the world worse than puttin' your hand to the throat of someone you love and ... feelin' ... nothin'. -- Kristen Ashley
I remember everything about you and I remember all the reasons why I loved you. Never could forget even when I tried."
..
"Who knows, baby? We had all that time together, I coulda got used to it, learned to take it for granted." His arms gave me a squeeze. "Now, that'll never happen -- Kristen Ashley
You can't cushion me from the entire world, Knight."
"I can try. -- Kristen Ashley
When I closed the door and turned to the guys, I saw they were all leaned slightly to the right, heads tipped, eyes on my behind or, in the case of the lanky guy, my legs. I -- Kristen Ashley
You know, you wouldn't even want a man who wouldn't go back to save someone's mother and a drag queen. -- Kristen Ashley
You act like a bitch, I'll call you a bitch and you're actin' like a fuckin' bitch. -- Kristen Ashley
Fuck buddies don't have rules. It's like being in a fight club. The first rule of fuck buddies is ... there are no rules. I was making this up as I went along. I had no idea if fuck buddies had rules. I'd never had a fuck buddy. I'd never even wanted one. Hell, I didn't want one now! -- Kristen Ashley
And I knew Nick's love for Auntie Reba.
He loved her in a way that was indescribable.
It wasn't like she walked on water or was the earth and moon and stars.
It was different.
It was breath.
It was necessity. -- Kristen Ashley
Because in that moment, watching and listening, he was profoundly moved that God had seen fit to gift him, an ordinary man, an Indiana boy through and through, with these people in his life. -- Kristen Ashley
Fuck me, shut the fuck up," Cal entered the conversation, glaring at both Ryker and Devin. "Caked. Jesus. Seriously? Are we talkin' about cakes? -- Kristen Ashley
You know, even Darth Vader had the good grace to ask Luke to join him on the dark side. -- Kristen Ashley
Quiet," he repeated on a growl, "I'm about to fuck my wife and the only words I want her saying when I do it are 'yes', 'Tor', 'my prince', 'baby' and 'oh my God'. -- Kristen Ashley
I understand that you're a big fish in a small pond, but I'll explain that if you want to swim in the ocean, you must understand that the ocean is populated by sharks, and sharks never sleep. -- Kristen Ashley
Then I went for broke, put my hands on either side of his face, bent my head and kissed him. I think it was the first time I'd full-on kissed him, without it being in the heat of passion (well, okay, there was heat), but more simply just to kiss him. -- Kristen Ashley
Do you have any preliminary intel? Gwen asked, and from her words I figured she'd had ongoing commando's woman lessons. -- Kristen Ashley
And, lastly, apparently the new intel was me, who had a face that could launch a thousand hard-ons. Not a flowery compliment, but still, it said it all even if it pulled no punches. -- Kristen Ashley
I have another brother, a sister and five dozen cousins. I'm not starting anything again until visiting hours are over. -- Kristen Ashley
Been waitin' years for this, baby. Thanks for makin' it worth the wait."
"You're still bein' awesome," I informed him.
"Yeah, and it's cute as fuck that annoys you. -- Kristen Ashley
Then he spoke. "For us, it will be real and right now, I need to know you understand that." "Understand?" "That it's real." "That what's real?" "That we will be together until the sun falls from the sky. -- Kristen Ashley
Started as a nightmare but now seems like the sweetest dream." Her head tipped to the side and a small, confused smile played at her lips when she whispered, "How can that be? -- Kristen Ashley
I didn't want to go back to sleep. I wanted to talk to him until the earth started revolving around the moon. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm taking my mortal as my mate. You love me, I love you, we're connected, what we have is beautiful and that's all it'll ever be. For eternity. Until the end of days. Until the sun falls from the sky, all you and I will share is beauty. -- Kristen Ashley
Unlatch, baby, and roll. Woke up with a taste for my woman's pussy, now it's ready for me, I'm hungry. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm payin' and if you even open your mouth to argue with me, I'm gonna be forced to find a way to stop you speaking, and the way I'll pick means Billy's gonna get an eyeful of exactly the kind of friend I intend to be. -- Kristen Ashley
I've been waiting to have you since I knew you existed. But I've been waiting for someone like you for -- Kristen Ashley
And last there was a woman with loads of strawberry blonde curls who looked like a fairy princess. Her name was Sadie Chavez. -- Kristen Ashley
And then ...
It was like Fortnums was For Gorgeous People Only. They needed a sign so normal people wouldn't wander in unwittingly and develop immediate inferiority complexes. -- Kristen Ashley
Darlin' you're the greediest piece of ass I've had in my bed in a long fuckin' time. I got a taste for greedy, you think I'm not gonna take it? -- Kristen Ashley
When it's family, Nick, there's a limit to the shit I'll eat. But there is no limit to the love I'll give. -- Kristen Ashley
But one thing you do still gotta learn is, when it's family, Nick, there's a limit to the shit I'll eat. But there is no limit to the love I'll -- Kristen Ashley
It's my experience that a weakness understood is no weakness. If you know you have it, even if you can't control it, you can make allowances for it. It is those who ignore or don't understand their weaknesses who are wasted by them. -- Kristen Ashley
I get this this is intense because I'm intense, that's the whole fuckin' deal. I get it'll take you a while to get used to it. But you want it. Fuck, you even like it. You just don't understand it yet. But you will. -- Kristen Ashley
No, no, no. I'm gonna rip his dick off and shove it up his nose and parade him though the streets naked and dickless then cut his head off. -- Kristen Ashley
You wanna clean up?" he asked quietly. "Yeah," I answered quietly too. "Then shuteye or you wanna sit on my face? -- Kristen Ashley
So what you got is a woman who knows about your issues. This means you don't have to do shit, Garrett, except count your lucky stars you're able to hold tight to your woman so you can weather ... the goddamned ... storm. -- Kristen Ashley
Yes, cara, count your blessings even through your loss, -- Kristen Ashley
Stop talking to me. I'm trying to channel my head-crackin' mamma jamma. -- Kristen Ashley
it's worth the loss to have that memory. Big, bad, scary Joe Callahan, security to the stars, losing control and ripping away my underwear. -- Kristen Ashley
Shut your fucking trap, Hawk -- Kristen Ashley
If a woman love you, truly loves you, baby, she lets you be the man you have to be. She doesn't change you into the man she wants you to be. -- Kristen Ashley
Cal would not be like any other father who went berserk because some hotshot football star got in their daughter's pants. Cal would go commando on Jasper's ass. "Tripp, -- Kristen Ashley
The toothbrush Jasper bought Rocky was white and pink. Yes, his son was sharp. As a tack. -- Kristen Ashley
You're wrong,darlin', I got wild in me. And I'll never lose it. It's just that my wild is a safe place for you and it will always be. - Brock -- Kristen Ashley
We haven't been together very long," I reminded him.
"You love me and I love you. How long does that need to be?"
Knight and Anya Gage -- Kristen Ashley
You don't belong to him, you belong to me." "That's insane too!" "Baby, you told me so your fuckin' self." "Sexual coercion. -- Kristen Ashley
Parked in the dimly lit back. He parked close and got out as Jasper and Rocky got -- Kristen Ashley
I feel like I've been waiting," I said to Billy, looking at Hank. "Waiting for a long time, but I guess I know what you mean. My life began when I met him. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm gonna take care of you," Sam whispered against my lips.
"Okay," I whispered back. -- Kristen Ashley
I didn't just want your light, your power, your strength. I wanted all of you. I asked for it. I fought for it. But you kept it from me and you did it willingly knowing I needed it. I'm sorry, Sam, I've made my decision. I thought I could do it but I was wrong. It's all or nothing. -- Kristen Ashley
He must have caught my vibe because his eyes cut to me then he said into his phone, Kia's about to have a shit fit or a breakdown. I gotta be available for either one. -- Kristen Ashley
Make him work to unlock your secrets, my Kia," she whispered. "Do not accept another man in your life who does not rise to that challenge and do it gallantly. -- Kristen Ashley
Ten minutes later everyone was gone, giving out hugs, air kisses and well wishes for a successful cherry popping as they went. -- Kristen Ashley
Jesus, you're a bossy motherfucker," Nick muttered. "Then again, you always were." "You don't know the half of it," Knight muttered back, but did it grinning. -- Kristen Ashley
His head dropped to watch his thumb move over my fingers as he muttered, "Naked, baby."
My head twitched at his weird word.
"Pardon?"
His eyes came to mine and he repeated, "Naked."
I felt my brows draw together and I asked, "Naked?"
He held my gaze even as he moved ... -- Kristen Ashley
He didn't mind doin' that time when doing it meant he would walk out to Lexie. -- Kristen Ashley
My Lexie beams bright and she can do that shit even in her sleep. -- Kristen Ashley
Lady Luck finally saw fit to shine her light on me but life taught me to share. Welcome to the light. -- Kristen Ashley
Never admit defeat, Lexie. No matter the situation. And no matter what resources you have to call upon to do it. -- Kristen Ashley
Is most of your work out there?" she asked. "Yeah." "Why didn't you move out there?" "'Cause LA is insanity, filled with fruits and nuts. Indiana is sanity, meat and potatoes. I'm a meat and potatoes man. -- Kristen Ashley
Right now, this is what we are. Right now, this is working. Right now, there's no chance this is gonna end and we're gonna be over. So right now and for the foreseeable future, you ... are ... mine. -- Kristen Ashley
They were weird. They were hippies. They were the only hippies I knew so I didn't know if they were weird hippies. -- Kristen Ashley
My heart went into my throat. I leaned back against Luke, his arm moved to wrap around my chest and we watched two people we both cared a lot about. They were in love, they were healed and most of all, they were outrageously happy. -- Kristen Ashley
Apparently Super Max was pretty content with taking care of half the town, such was his wonderfulness. -- Kristen Ashley
Just a note: it was impossible to stay pissed at a handsome man when he had his mouth between your legs.
Especially if he really, really knew how to use that mouth. -- Kristen Ashley
In this world," I kept whispering, "you were the only thing I had but you were the only thing I needed. -- Kristen Ashley
Then I said softly, "I'd like to go home now. -- Kristen Ashley
But first, I needed to go to the liquor store and buy a bottle of Jack. I didn't drink Jack but I thought now was a very good time to take up bourbon. -- Kristen Ashley
I totally, completely loved my nephew. I knew this from the instant he was born. But I rejoiced in it then, looking into his eyes because it made me understand that Darrin wasn't really dead since that part of him was alive in his son. -- Kristen Ashley
Lee on the other hand was not asexual. He might think of me as his little sister and could calmly sleep next to me without his nipples getting hard (or anything else getting hard for that matter) but I was pretty certain I could not do the same. -- Kristen Ashley
And when you're that sure and end up getting it that wrong, you lose faith in yourself, your ability to make the right decisions about your life. -- Kristen Ashley
I was your man, you were halfway around the world from me, honey, I'd fucking phone you ... If you told me you needed a timeout, first, I wouldn't fuckin' let you have one. Second, I wouldn't give you reason to fuckin' want one. And last, you took off anyway, I'd fuckin' phone. -- Kristen Ashley
And a woman whose best day was a day with her family and friends around her doing nothing but talking, laughing and being together. -- Kristen Ashley
It was then Raiden Ulysses Miller scorched me a second time, but I didn't battle this blaze. There was no pain. But that didn't mean I didn't end up branded. -- Kristen Ashley
I haven't been avoiding you,"
"You're lying. The last time we were both at dinner, you got up in the middle of Mom's fajita presentation and said you forgot to feed your cat."
Uh-oh.
"So?"
"You don't have a cat. -- Kristen Ashley
When he grew up, he drove muscle cars (loud and fast) and motorcycles (again, loud and fast) and sat in his Dad's garage with the door rolled up, lifting weights. I watched this out of my bedroom window and it was better than anything on television, believe you me. -- Kristen Ashley
Okay, there were a lot of uncomfortable conversations a person had to have in their life. When they broke up with someone, for one. When they fucked up and had to admit they were wrong, for another. But talking to a dude who had his balls cut off about his balls being cut off beat them all. -- Kristen Ashley
I've been practicin' my morgue face for when I have to go identify your body. Wanna see it? Nick said then he arranged his face in this kind of mock, sad, shocked look and slowly shook his head like a world with vigilante social workers
mystified him. -- Kristen Ashley
I had to soften him up because, for whatever reason, all the Rock Chicks had an alternate Hot Bunch guy, Indy's was Eddie. Roxie's was Vance. Jules was Luke. Ava's was Lee. Mine was Mace. -- Kristen Ashley
That's me," Tack answered. "Full of surprises. Now, you gonna give Lawson his assurances and make your call or are we gonna get out our knitting needles and chat while we make scarves. -- Kristen Ashley
culture was whacked. -- Kristen Ashley
Please, honey," he whispered, "make tacos. Eat 'em. Watch television. Do whatever. But however it ends, when you go to sleep, crawl into my bed. -- Kristen Ashley
You got no choice but to be friendly, he told it, being Chace bossy but the heretofore-unknown cute kind. My heart melted more. The kitty lifted a paw and pressed it to Chace's nose. Chace grinned at him. The rest of me melted. -- Kristen Ashley
I'm just tellin' you to keep your eyes open and watch your heart. Or, more to the point, watch your ass because if you don't, Shy'll tap it. -- Kristen Ashley
