1 " This must be awful for you. You get a job, and then next thing you know you’re dealing with a car chase, a bitchy manager, the SEC, and a boss dying to visit a secluded island with his admin assistant.” A slow grin grew on his face. Mm… when can we go? "
― J.J. Sorel , A Taste of Peace (Malibu #1)
2 " It took me a moment to speak. My heart pumped madly as though I’d run for miles in pursuit of something vital. In this case, love. "
3 " I’d fallen captive to those expressive dark eyes again. I blamed my inappropriate behavior last night on champagne, but in the sobering light of day, I’d fallen into the same drugged stupor. She was soft. Strong. Real. And seriously curvy. "
4 " He used to be a bad boy,” she said. “I looked him up on social media. Tattoos, always partying. And a musician.”That I hadn’t expected. “Really?”“He was a drummer before taking over his daddy’s empire. Very sexy. "
5 " As I stared into his shining gaze, there was something raw in the way his eyes trapped mine. It had become a wordless conversation that only my soul understood. "
6 " I hear workplace hookups are really in right now.”I laughed. “Something tells me they’ve been in for a long time.”He took the exit for the Arts District. “This chick sounds like she’s got you sprung.”I took a deep breath. “Lust will do that.”“Can’t have love without lust, man. "
7 " My brain dissolved into a puddle as I watched Lachlan. Instead of discussing the latest trends in brazen minimalism, all I could think of was placing my hand underneath that faded T-shirt and sliding my fingers over those hard pecs. "
8 " We have a ball to attend tomorrow night. Assuming you don’t already have plans?” A slow sexy smile grew on his face.A ball? A new gown? With him? It could be worse. "
9 " I let out a slow breath, wondering if someone had slipped LSD into the water. Because the past two months spent with Lachlan had felt like a trip, replete with swirling color, levitation, toe-curling pleasure and the type of madness that incites uncontrollable laughter and tears. "
10 " But it’s not your world. I was fingerpainting and flicking through my dad’s art books while you slurped back cornflakes with a silver spoon.”I shook my head. “That’s bullshit.”“Oh?” She grinned. “I hate cornflakes. And I don’t slurp. "
11 " Living up to his reputation as the hottest billionaire in town, Lachlan switched from boyish to devilishly handsome within a blink. With those ocean blue eyes, he offered so many shades of gorgeous I kept forgetting to breathe around him. "
12 " His eyes trapped mine and although I could have stared at that face all night, I had to look away in order to breathe.I wondered whether I preferred the slick tuxedoed hunk, or the rugged version that looked like he’d just wrestled a bear.Both. "
13 " I’d like nothing more than to be your girl.” The words trembled out of my mouth.He took me into his arms and his lips touched mine. Tender and sweet, as though it was our first time. "
14 " I caught a hint of Lachlan’s unique scent again and drew him in deeply, imagining that was how hot sex smelled. "
