41 " This—he gestured impatiently at himself—is just a fucking shell. You’re what drives me, Eva. Can you understand that? You’re my heart and soul. If something ever happened to you, it would kill me, too. Keeping you safe is goddamned self-preservation! "
― Sylvia Day , Entwined with You (Crossfire, #3)
42 " …was designed to protect his heart, to bind me and bribe me to stay with him no matter what. He was giving everything he had. "
43 " Tell me you love me," I pleaded""Gideon's eyes met mine. "You know I do""Imagine if I i ever said the words to you. If you never heard them from me""His chest expanded on a deep breath. "Crossfire "
44 " Do you want to suck face or not?”“Suck face?” His head fell back and he laughed, his chest vibrating against me. It was a lusty, full-bodied sound and my toes curled at hearing it. Gideon laughed so rarely. My hands slid under his sweater and glided over that warm skin. My lips moved over his jaw. “Is that a no?”“Angel, I’ll suck on any part of your body I can get my mouth on. "
45 " I look at you, angel and I want you so baddly. I want to be with you, listen to you, talk to you. I want to hear you laugh and hold you when you cry. I want to sit next to you, breathe the same air, share the same life. I want towake up to you like this every day forever. I want you. "
46 " You like sex, angel,” he purred. “Nothing wrong with that. You’re greedy and insatiable, and I love it. I love knowing that once I get inside you, you’re going to suck me dry. Then you’ll want to do it again. "
47 " I’m going out, remember?” I prodded. “And I’m going to drink too much, which makes me horny. Don’t forget to take your vitamins, ace. "
48 " You and me on a deserted tropical island where you’d be perpetually naked and I could slide into you at any moment.I set one hand on my hip and shot him a look. “Sunburned and bowlegged. Sexy. "
49 " Now I'm hot and bothered, and wondering why my new neighbor isn't putting the moves on me.""Maybe he doesn't want to push you too far, too fast and scare you off." Gideon's eyes glittered in the light of the television."Is that so?"He nuzzled his nose against my temple. "If he has half a brain, he'd know not to let you get away."Oh... "Maybe I should make the first move," I whispered, wrapping my fingers around his wrist. "But what if he thinks I'm too easy?""He'll be too busy thinking he's damned luck. "
50 " I own your pleasure," I whispered into his mouth. "I'll take it if you won't give it to me. "
51 " Gideon was a man who’d lived an entirely solitary life, and yet he’d accepted me into it so completely that he could envision a future I was afraid to imagine. I was so scared I’d only be setting myself up for a heartbreak I couldn’t survive. "
52 " Gideon was a force of nature, his magnetic self-possession so powerful it put everyone around him in his shadow. I saw flashes of it every day and was awed by it, but not nearly as much as I was by the charming, wryly amusing lover I had entirely to myself in our private moments together. "
53 " I realized we’d pulled into a parking garage. We drove around two levels, pulled into a spot, then immediately pulled out again. Along with four other black Bentley SUVs. “What’s going on?” I asked, as we headed back toward the exit with two Bentleys in front of us and two behind us. “Shell game,” he said… "
54 " Eva: Do you know why I chose your ring?Gideon: Red is our color. Red dress in limos. red fuck-me heels at garden parties. A red rose in your hair when you married me. "
55 " As long as Kline doesn't kiss you." The warning was clear in his voice. "Same goes." "If he kisses me, he's getting decked." I laughed. "You know what I meant. "
56 " I stared at him over the rim of my mug and didn't say anything.Gideon shoved his shirttails into his slacks with obvious frustration. "Fine.""Thank you.""You could refrain from grinning like the Cheshire cat," he muttered. "
57 " You're blond, but surely you can't be so naive as to believe that.""You're stressed," I countered, "but surely you know you're being an ass. "
58 " Thanks for the reminder that i have to hit the gym today. I have'nt worked out in days. Unless one counted mattress gymnastics!!! "
59 " She's upset.""Screaming upset? or crying upset?""Does it matter?""Yes. There's a difference between being mad at a guy and being a teary mess over him. For example: Deanna is mad and can plot your destruction; I was a teary mess and could barely crawl out of bed every day. "
60 " Eva: You like 'em tall and skinnyGideon: Last I checked, the wife I can't resist was petite and voluptuous. Spectacularly so "
