1 " I'm the king of bad ideas. "
― Lisa Kessler , Legend of Love (Muse Chronicles, #2)
2 " If we're not naked soon, I'm going to lose my fucking mind. "
3 " She covered his hand with hers over her abdomen. His was so much bigger than hers and had probably fired guns, rifles, and god knew what else, but right here, right now, his tenderness broke down her will as sure as any grenade. "
4 " You make me want to be. "
5 " You're a good man, Hunter. "
6 " I’m coming into this embracing that wild spirit in you. I don’t want to clip your wings. I want to fly with you. "
7 " Her nails dug into his shoulders as she kissed her way up his neck, tasting the salt of his skin. “You make me weak.”He turned and caught her lips, his tongue invading her mouth. She writhed against him, working into his thrusts. He growled against her, gasping. “You’re the strongest woman I’ve ever known. "
8 " She leaned in to kiss him, tender and slow. “You’re a good man, Hunter.”He rolled her underneath him, his body already aching for the sanctuary of hers. “You make me want to be. "
9 " No matter what you tell me—” his lips curved into a sexy smile “—I’ll still want you.”“But you’ll at least understand why it’s a bad idea.”He tipped his head back under the water. “Oh, Doc…” He ran his hands through his hair and met her eyes again. “I’m the king of bad ideas. "
10 " I know there’s a lot of chaos around us. The therapist in you is probably drafting a list of all the reasons this is a bad idea, but when we kiss…” He shook his head, his eyes never straying from hers. “It’s the most ‘right’ I’ve ever felt. "
11 " If Reed wasn’t planning on meeting me at the beach, I’d be rolling around naked in this bed with you in a heartbeat. I love surfing, but—” his gaze wandered over the thin sheet covering her body before he met her eyes again “—no wave could ever compete with you. "
12 " He crossed his arms over his chest, "I don't get why you push everyone away.""This isn't the time to talk about this.""Should I set up an office visit? "
13 " I love surfing, but ---" his gaze wandered over the thin sheet covering her body before he met her eyes again " --- no wave could ever compete with you. "
14 " He pressed his lips to her shoulder, whispering along her soft skin, "I'm right where I want to be. "
15 " Hunter scooped her up into his arms as if she weighed nothing and carried her over to the bed. He laid her down and then moved behind her to spoon her, his arm holding her close to his chest. His lips brushed her ear. "Before you push me away, you have my word that once you're asleep, I'll go in the other room, okay?" ...Without moving, she whispered into the darkness, "What if I don't want you to go? "
16 " You've already given me better than I've ever had. "
17 " I thought when you finally kissed me, I'd be able to walk away." He shook his head, his voice lowering to a throaty whisper. "I was dead wrong. "
18 " He shook his head. "Those waves are begging us to ride them. Talking can wait. "
19 " Hunter walked out of the waves, and without any pretense, he wrapped her in his arms. She looked up at him, her eyes searing his.He bent his head lower, his voice a raspy whisper. "I've never met anyone like you. "
20 " Man..." He blew out an exasperated breath. "Do you push everyone away this hard, or is it just me? "
