1 " Don't let the tattoo fool you. I'm no angel. "

2 " You're the kind of woman who could easily be a distraction if I let you. If I want to come home alive, I can't let you. "
3 " He kissed her forehead and pushed away. She moved so he could reach the doorknob and open the door. Standing in the opening, he glanced back at her. She waited for him to say something... Goodbye, Thanks for the blowjob, something, anything. Instead, he tipped his head in a small nod, stepped outside and pulled the door closed behind him. That was it, then. In less than an hour, this man had captured her heart, loved her and then left her. It had to be the quickest beginning ,middle and ending of a romance in the history of the world. "
4 " Are you superstitious?" "I've been known to knock wood on occasion and I do firmly believe Karma is a bitch." She let out a short laugh. "Do you think less of me now?" "Not at all, but I do think less of myself if I let you stand here in the hot sun and haven't even offered you something cold to drink. What's your pleasure?" John wrangled his mind off the many pleasures they could share together if things were different. "
5 " He took a step forward and laid one big hand on her shoulder. She felt the heat of him against her bare skin. That was one way to get her mind off her security. "I'm sorry I freaked you out. This is a safe neighborhood. I really wouldn't worry." Ally nodded, having trouble coming up with a coherent response while he touched her. "You wanta stay for a little while?" It wasn't a hard question, but he hesitated long enough that she wondered what was going on inside his head. Finally, he let out a sigh. "Yeah, I do want to stay which is why I'm going to go." "I don't understand." She did, however take note that his hand had remained on her shoulder. For a man intent on going, he hadn't made a move to leave yet. "I'm afraid if I stay, I won't want to leave." Ally swallowed hard and leaned a bit closer to him. "Then, don't leave." She saw his chest rise and fall, watched his focus drop to her lips, before he brought it back up to her eyes. "You don't do one-night stands." "I said I hadn't in the past; not that I was opposed to having one... with you." "This can't be anything more than tonight." Pulse racing, Ally nodded. "I know. "
6 " I'm sorry." "For what?" She stood. "I had no intention of letting that go so far." "I had no intention of stopping until it did." He laughed and shook his head. "You're making it hard to leave, you know." That was her plan. Ally cocked a brow. "Am I? Sorry..." She wasn't sorry one little bit. "
7 " You know, I wouldn't mind more than a kiss." He let out a laugh. "Believe me, neither would I, but not right now." Drink your tea, get some food in your stomach, and, maybe, we'll talk." A frown creased her brow. "Talk?" He had to smile at her persistence. "We'll talk about possibly doing more than kissing, deal? "
