21 " Put your hands on me Destiny. I've dreamed about it long enough. "

22 " Nowhere felt safe, except in his arms, and that was an illusion. Next to Ryder was the most dangerous place of all. "

23 " Live by the team mean you trusted your team with your life. "
24 " Delusional?" He cocked his head to the side like a predator eyeing prey. "Not yet." Another step closer with a slight smile tilting his lips.He didn't look crazy. He looked dangerous.She grabbed a steak knife and held it in front of her. It might be fun and games to him, but to her it was life or death. "

25 " He pulled a pink bedazzled phone from his hoodie pocket. "Call your friend. Let him know you're here.""This is your phone?""Lady on the bus," he answered.Her jaw dropped. "She sat two rows ahead of us.""We passed her on the way to the back row."He picked a pocket that fast? "What are you?""That's a damn good question. Now call your friend. "
26 " Team Fear was the heartless result of focused recruiting combined with tireless training and a little R&D. They'd sold their souls, each and every man. "
27 " Was he safe? He was fierce and frightening and sexy in a badass way that triggered her horrific taste in men. There was no softness in his gaze or in his tone. He moved with precision and eerie quiet. He moved like a killer. "
28 " Sex and love went together like bad boys and leather, and with Ryder, she couldn’t do one without the other. She could lie to herself and say she just wanted one last night of wild sex, but her heart would surely follow her body. "

29 " For some twisted reason, she found his bruises more attractive than a pretty face. With windblown red-blond hair, unshaven face, and cocky bearing, he had that James Dean Rebel Without a Cause look going for him. He exuded the same kind of innate strength her brother had had. It wasn't something the Army trained into a man. A man was born with it. "
30 " Lauren woke wedged against Ryder, her back to his front, his arm wrapped around her belly and one strong thigh between hers. If she was looking for space, she had about a hair’s width. "
31 " Fine has many definitions, and not one of them means everything is okay. "

32 " No fear. A fitting epitaph, more curse than blessing, the truth of their very existence. "
33 " Hmm.” Hell, he’d lost his voice. Maybe his capacity for thought. They were headed where his body had wanted her since the day they met. Blood surged to his groin, leaving his brain defenseless. “What’s that?”She rubbed a finger across his lower lip. “Do I make you nervous?”She threw off his equilibrium, but he could work with that since he was trained to adapt to new and dangerous situations. He licked his lips, letting his tongue brush the finger she still pressed against him.“I can handle you.”“Oh, sweetheart, I doubt it. "
34 " She'd fight for him harder than he'd fight to leave. "
35 " I don't want safe. I want you. "
36 " They walked into the library and a gust of heated air welcomed them inside. Safe. The idea was ridiculous given the bad guys chasing her, but nothing bad had ever happened to her in a library. "
37 " He was the kind of man who promised a rough, sweaty good time. The air around him snapped and hummed with sexual tension. Everything about him was out of her league. "
38 " They all had pasts they regretted... the past haunted you, no matter how hard you tried to leave it behind. "
39 " Honey, you can’t call dibs on a human being.” Her tone rose high enough to shatter glass. “Like calling something mine makes it so, because if it did, I’d be driving around town in a Porsche instead of Granddaddy’s broken down Ford. Ain’t nothing here that was yours.” Using the tray, she backed him against the office door. “Anything you left behind is at the DAV thrift store. They put a price tag on things, and let me tell you, yours wasn’t worth much. "
40 " Bracing a hand on either side of her face, he forced her to look at him. "I set the pace. I lead."She swallowed. "Is there any other way?""Not with me. "
