Carole Mortimer QUOTES

1 " I'm happily married to Peter senior; we're best friends as well as lovers, which is probably the best recipe for a successful relationship. We live in a lovely part of England. "

2 " Holly, what is it?’ he frowned. ‘Darling, tell me what’s wrong? I know we didn’t plan on making love, but it was the most beautiful thing imaginable, so tell me what’s wrong’

She still couldn’t look at him, filled with shame for what she had done. ‘Could you get your clothes on first?’

‘You didn’t say that a moment ago!’

She flushed at his angry taunt. ‘Please,’ she said huskily, knowing by the sound of his movements that he was indeed dressing.

‘Now,’ he barked grimly, ‘what the hell is the matter? Talk to me!’

Holly turned to face him, finding him fully dressed now, his expression harsh in his confusion. She knew it was his hurt that was making him angry with her, and yet she could do nothing to help him, was too busy trying to keep herself from falling apart. ‘This—what just happened, it changes nothing between us,"

4 " Don’t even suggest another woman,’ he rasped, his eyes hard. ‘Since you first looked at me so incredulously because you thought I was James walking I haven’t looked at, or wanted, another woman!"

5 " Jason was slumped behind the desk, his face buried in his hands. She couldn’t bear to see him like this, and moved to the back of his chair to pull his head back against her breasts. She caressed his temples to soothe him.

‘Oh God, Eden,’ he turned his face against her. ‘Don’t torture me any more, I can’t stand it.’

‘I don’t mean to, Jason.’ Her softened gaze rested on his bent head. ‘I only went to see Gary to—’

‘I don’t want to know!’ he said fiercely, swinging the leather chair round to look at her. ‘Whatever there is between you two I don’t want to know about it! "

6 " Please, stop this. Leave me alone,' she begged, despising herself for her weakness. 'Oh, please, Leon, leave me alone!' The last came out as a choked sob.

He stood up and came to stand in front of her. 'I can't, my cool Helen. You have me tied up in knots. If it's time you want, you've got it, but you have to let me see you, be with you, talk to you.'

7 " love is nothing but an overrated emotion that brings nothing but pain to those unfortunate enough to suffer from it. "

8 " From Cherish Tomorrow ... “I want you,” she said softly.
His jaw became rigid with disapproval. “I’m too damned old for you.”
“You’re perfect.” She touched the hardness of one cheek with loving fingers.
“You’re too young for me!”
She shrugged. “I’ll get older.” "

9 " I loved you when you wore that hideous yellow gown. I loved you later that evening, when you stood amongst the dunes with the wind rippling through your glorious hair and the moon reflected in your eyes. I loved you when you burst into my bedchamber the following day. I loved you even more when you appeared at the inn that evening.’ He allowed a brief smile to curve his lips. ‘I loved and adored you when I held you in my arms and made love to you. Like Whitney with his Janette, I have loved everything about you in every moment of every day since the moment I first laid eyes on you, Jane! "

10 " Time and time again she held Finn poised on that brink, stopping every time she felt his tension and that tightening of his sac. Knowing from the copious leaking of his cock that he was close now. So very close. “Are you trying to kill me, Eva!” Finn finally groaned hoarsely, having reached that point of release, and then been brought back down again by Eva so many times now, that he no longer had any idea what his own name was. Eva slowly released him before blowing lightly against that sensitive tip. “You can’t die from pleasure, Finn.” Finn. That’s right, his name was Finn. “I beg to differ,” he breathed raggedly as he looked down the length of his body at her. "

11 " You give me pleasure unspeakable, unimaginable. And I wasn't avoiding you,' he spoke into the softness of her hair. 'At least, not voluntarily. I was giving you the chance to end the physical relationship, to end the honeymoon if you wanted to.' He pulled back to look at her tear-wet face. 'You don't want to, do you?' he realised huskily.

'Never!' She buried her face against his chest. "
