Water Bound (Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart, #1) QUOTES

1 " And maybe that was love. Being so vulnerable and allowing someone else in so far they could hurt you, but they also give you everything. "

― Christine Feehan , Water Bound (Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart, #1)

2 " If you allowed yourself to hear or feel amusement, you would hear and feel pain. "

3 " He tasted passion. He tasted emotion. He tasted a world he’d never imagined, one he could never enter. It was right there in front of him, suddenly open to him. Unexpected. Exciting. Scary. "

4 " Sex was a practiced art to him. Each move calculated. His brain always worked while he performed, his body seducing his prey with ease, noting each response of his target. But in one moment, everything had changed. She swept him into a tidal wave of pure sensation, and he willingly let go and let her take him with her. "

5 " He felt safe with her. He'd never been safe with another human being, not since he'd been taken as a child from his home. He'd never been able to trust. He could never give that last small piece - all that was left of his humanity - into someone else's keeping. And now there was Rikki. She let him be whatever he had to be to survive. She didn't ask anything of him. There was no hidden motive. No agenda. Just acceptance. She was different - imperfect, or so she thought - and she knew what it was like to fight to carve out a space for herself. She was willing for him to do thar. "

8 " For the first time in his existence, he knew he was drowning and he wasn't thinking about survival. "

9 " If you need to talk about your childhood, you’re safe with me. If you need to break into a million pieces, I’m right here, Lev. I’ll find them all, I’m good at details, and I’ll put you back together. You’re safe here. "

10 " Maybe love was a woman feeding him pancakes. Maybe it was someone sitting across from him sipping orange juice just to please him. "

― Christine Feehan , Water Bound (Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart, #1)

11 " Just like the movements in a symphony, the rain sent vibrations through his body, painting the world in a physical map of mountains, valleys and high peaks dropping into deep ravines. The physical structures were all created by sound itself, and the colors were intense and vivid—substance created by sound, by feeling. "

12 " Just like the sea, she was turbulent and wild, angry and loving. She felt every sensation, but it was only here, with water around her, that she dared let herself feel so strongly, so passionately. "

― Christine Feehan , Water Bound (Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart, #1)

13 " But he has guns, Rikki,” she reminded herself aloud. “A dog wouldn’t have a gun. "

― Christine Feehan , Water Bound (Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart, #1)

14 " She’d read a great deal about the blankets and knew the weight was supposed to help release serotonin by putting pressure on the sensory nerves in her muscles, joints and tendons, for a calming effect. "

― Christine Feehan , Water Bound (Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart, #1)

15 " Figuring her out was fast becoming an obsession, "

― Christine Feehan , Water Bound (Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart, #1)

16 " He groaned and dropped into the nearest kitchen chair, pushing his head into his hands. “Death by peanut butter. I never thought I’d go that way. "

― Christine Feehan , Water Bound (Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart, #1)

17 " . And maybe that was love. Being so vulnerable and allowing someone else in so far they could hurt you, but they could also give you everything. "

18 " He looked pained. “I don’t eat peanut butter.”
That genuinely shocked her. “Who doesn’t eat peanut butter? It’s the perfect food.”
He shuddered. “Even to make up for all the things I’ve done wrong, I don’t think I can do it.”
“For a man who carries around as many weapons as you do, you’re a bit of a baby.”
“It isn’t being a baby not to eat peanut butter. I don’t think babies eat the stuff.”
“That’s un-American.”
“I’m not certain I am American,” he pointed out.
She had to agree with him there. “Fine. You can put peanut butter on waffles. Blythe bought some of those frozen thingies that you put in the toaster. I’m not sure how old they are. Do frozen foods last like four years or more?”
He groaned and dropped into the nearest kitchen chair, pushing his head into his hands. “Death by peanut butter. I never thought I’d go that way.”
Rikki found herself laughing. Nothing made her laugh, not out loud, not hurt-her-tummy laughing, not like this. He looked so dejected— a big, tough man done in by peanut butter. "

19 " I’m taking a shower.”
Oh, God. She was killing him. Making him want to laugh out loud. Where had his sense of self-preservation gone? He didn’t feel emotion— that was far too dangerous. He shivered beneath the blankets, suddenly afraid for her. For himself.
“You’re still cold. I should have thought to rub you down with some warm oil. Lexi makes it and I use it sometimes when I come in from a dive. It warms you up fast. Can you roll over, because I’m not rubbing your front.”
“Why not?”
“If you want a massage, turn over. "

20 " I don’t like you in danger. When a man finds the only person
of worth to him, that one person who matters more than anything and makes
everything he’s ever seen or done or gone through worthwhile, believe me,
Rikki, the urge to protect her is overwhelming. If that bothers you, then I’m
sorry, because it’s going to be happening over and over throughout our years
together. "
