That did the trick. "

10 " Get of me."

He looks down at me trailing his gaze from my eyes to my mouth. So very slowly. "Are you sure you want that? "

― Tricia Levenseller , Daughter of the Pirate King (Daughter of the Pirate King, #1)

11 " He sighs. "What are you doing?" He's talking to himself. "

― Tricia Levenseller , Daughter of the Pirate King (Daughter of the Pirate King, #1)

12 " No, it wasn't," he insists.

Then he is kissing me.

What the—I misread where that was going. "

13 " Master Riden only said I 'probably' shouldn't speak to her, on account of beautiful women have a way of playing tricks on a man's mind. But it wasn't a direct order. "

― Tricia Levenseller , Daughter of the Pirate King (Daughter of the Pirate King, #1)

15 " I want to kiss you again. "

16 " No I can only tell what you're feeling."

This seems to give him great alarm. His emotions turn form a glowing, vibrant red to light gray almost instantly. "

17 " Once he reaches my ribs, he moves his hands to my arms, running them up to my shoulder.
“I don’t know what you’re wearing,” he says. “But I like it.”
“Custom-made,” I say.
“And then stolen by you?”
I shrug. “What are you doing?”
“What does it look like I’m doing?”
“You’re touching me.”
“I’m trying to get my key back.”
“Sounds like an excuse to touch me.”
He smiles and leans forward so his mouth is at my ear. “I don’t see you stopping me.”
“If I had, I wouldn’t be able to do this.”
His eyes shoot up in alarm, but he doesn’t have enough time to guess what I’m about to do until I’ve already done it.
Yes, I knee him. Right between the legs.
He takes some time to recover. Enough for me to exit the cell and lock him in.
He stares at me levelly. “That was low. "

18 " Still, its width is small enough that I’m tempted to give Riden a slight push.
As if sensing this, he says, “Don’t even think about it.”
“I already did.”
“I could have you shot.”
“Your gun would have a hard time working once it’s wet.”
“I didn’t say I had to be the one to shoot.”
“But let’s face it, you’d like that pleasure for yourself.”
He smiles. "

19 " I didn’t have a choice,” he says.
“Of course you had a choice, Riden. You just had a hard one. And you chose the easy option, which was to do nothing.”
“Easy? Do you think it was easy for me to watch you? Seeing you up there, knowing the pain you must be in, it … it made me feel—it would have hurt less if I had been the one hanging. I hated myself for what happened. And the only way I could punish myself was to force myself to watch you in pain. That was my punishment. "

20 " No one is going to touch you now that you’re down here. I will see to that.”
“And who will see to it that you do not touch me?”
“Let me assure you, I have never had need to force myself upon a woman. They come willingly.”
“I find that hard to believe.”
“That’s because I haven’t worked my charms on you yet.”
I laugh scornfully. “As a female pirate raised by other pirates, I’ve had to fend off the most despicable and persistent of men. I’m not too worried.”
“And what would you do, Alosa, if you had to fend off a man who wasn’t despicable and persistent?”
“I’ll let you know when I meet one.”
He laughs. The sound is deep and rich. "
