2 " His kisses were so hungry and male, which isn't bad. Every kiss said he could never have enough, but he wasn't going to stop trying. They were so hormonal. I wanted his sugar roughness. Girl's kisses are deliberate and polished. When she kisses me - when I kiss her - she doesn't want me. She has me and knows it. "

3 " Her lips are like pillows of warm glass. It is strange to find her resistant for even a second, since she has been the kisser and not the kissed.

7 " She mourned the history that the invisible intruder had erased, but not enough that she would spend a second more of her future feeling the emptiness. "

8 " Sex was this primal connection like no magick she had ever known, even separated by a millimeter of latex. She knew that some combined the two and, while she could see how this would improve the magick, it would dilute the sex. "

― Thomm Quackenbush , We Shadows (Night's Dream, #1)

9 " It seemed inequitable at best that one could and did gain a reputation for things that left one both physically and emotionally unsatisfied. "

17 " Shane never knew how to address her friends' parents. She wanted to call her Mrs. Eliot's Mom, but knew that the cutesiness would not be appreciated. “Mrs. Kaspar” sounded too like a phone solicitor, which would not do after having kissed the circumference of her son's neck. "
