1 " How many times had he wished he could reach out and touch the sky – to feel the heat of a star and study its contours? And standing here now, that was exactly what he felt he was doing. Unable to help himself, he looked at Brooke with wonder. “This is…amazing. "

2 " He looked up and saw one star shining brighter than the others. Logically, Owen knew it to be Sirius, but his heart tried to tell him it was his mother looking down and smiling at him. "
3 " You’re not alone, Owen, It’s not just you. And you know what? It’s not a bad thing to be a little bit nervous around a woman.” He paused. “I think the difference…when it’s the right woman, those nerves make you want to be a better person, a better man. "
4 " She watched him for a moment – noticed how he was staring at the steering wheel and how he seemed to be thinking about something but she had no idea what. Turning in her seat, she faced him. “Owen –“ “I’d like to kiss you,” he blurted out. Her eyes went wide, and her heart beat madly in her chest. “You…you would? "
5 " He looked down and saw a piece of chocolate being offered to him. Brooke’s delicate hand was mere inches from his mouth. Was he supposed to take it from her hand with his or simply… bite it? He opted for biting, and as he took the sweet chocolate into his mouth, his lips grazed her fingers, and he heard her gasp softly beside him. But not in a bad way. His heart rate kicked up, and as he slowly finished chewing, he reached up, took her hand, and brought her fingers close to his lips. He swallowed and then kissed her fingertips – licking the spot where there was still a little chocolate – and heard Brooke moan. Sexiest sound ever. "
6 " He almost wished he had the ability to paint because this… this woman in his arms… was the most exquisite piece of art he’d ever seen. "
7 " Where would you like to go?” “Oh… that could be dangerous,” she said playfully. "
8 " Lifting his head, his gaze met hers. “I dreamed of this,” he said, his voice like gravel. “All night. Every night since I met you. "
9 " I want to talk about how you taste.” He murmured against her skin, surprising himself with this kind of sexy talk. She purred at his admission. Encouraged, he tried again. “And how soft you are… all over.” Another purr, and her hips began to move beneath him. Fascinating. “But most of all, I want to talk about how much I crave you again,” he growled. "
10 " You have the ability to see into the sky and talk to the stars,” she said softly. “They twinkle just for you, you know. "
