Master of Seduction (Sea Wolves, #1) QUOTES

1 " He ground his teeth together, the torture of it almost more than he could bear.

The urge to pull her to him was overwhelming, but to do that would cost him dearly, for no doubt she would run out the door, damning him with every step.

This was Lorelei, the artist, and she didn't see him as a man. Right now, he was about as human as the ridiculous fruit she'd painted in the past. And if he played along with her wants, perhaps she'd let him show her his...banana. "

2 " Lorelei sat at the window of her drawing room, painting in the fading daylight. It was yet another portrait of Jack, her favorite piece of fruit. "

3 " Down in the valley, leaves fall from trees, the branches are bare. All the flowers have faded, their blossoms once so beautiful. The frost attacks many herbs and kills them. I grieve. But if the winter is so cold, there must be new joys. Help me sing a joy of a hundred thousand times greater than the buds of May. I will sing of roses on the red cheeks of my lady. Could I win her favor, this lovely lady would give me such joy I would need no other. (Jack)
What are you saying? (Lorelei)
Noble lady, I ask nothing of you save that you should accept me as your servant. I will serve you as a good lord should serve, whatever the reward may be. Here I am, then, at your orders, sincere and humble, gay and courteous. You are not, after all, a bear or lion, and would not kill me, surely, if I put myself between your hands. I love you, my lady, Lorelei. Marry me and I swear I shall never again do or say anything to harm you and I will slay anyone who does. (Jack) "

4 " But tell me truly, milovidnost, had I asked you to elope with me that night, would you not have followed me to the ends of the earth? (Jack)
I wouldn’t have followed you to the end of the corridor. (Lorelei) "

5 " I love when you stand close to me. I can feel your breath fall against my neck and it sends chills and fire all over my body. (Jack) "

6 " Well, they certainly didn’t teach you any manners. (Lorelei)
I’m a pirate. What, would you have me spout poetry? (Jack) "

7 " Beware the man who beguiles you, Lori-Angel. Those are the ones who won’t commit to you. Oh, they’ll show you wonders, to be sure, and they’ll spin your head with their pleasurable ways. But in the end, they always leave you and your broken heart far behind. Believe me, ‘tis better to have the simple hound than to follow the fox. Though the fox is fairer to behold, the hound knows where his home is and dutifully he stays, while the handsome fox is ever off to find new game. (Anne Bonny) "

8 " If you must know, I don’t talk about myself because no one ever cared enough to listen. (Jack)
What do you mean? (Lorelei)
Think about it, Lorelei. How many times a day do you ask someone how they’re doing? Their world may have just shattered and yet they look up and say, ‘Fine, thank you, and you?’ No one cares to hear other people’s problems. ’Twas a lesson I learned early in life. (Jack) "

9 " Why? (Lorelei)
Because I…(Jack)
You? (Lorelei)
I…(Jack)
For an eloquent man, Captain Rhys, you seem to be stymied for an answer. (Lorelei)
Lorelei, I don’t want any other man to ever touch you. (Jack) "

10 " And what would you have me say? (Lorelei)
That you love me, too, would be nice. Especially given the fact that I look like a complete ass kneeling here in front of you while two hundred men watch. (Jack) "

11 " The wife correct ” Lorelei prompted. “She makes sure her husband is treated with the proper regard and she is the one who sees after his care just like you would do a treasured pup.”
Annabeth frowned. “I suppose that’s true.”
“Thank you ” Lorelei said. “Now if you wish to train a man to listen to you you never shout you whisper. They take extra special care to listen to a quiet tone while they automatically shut out loud ones. And just like you would a dog when he comes at your bidding you reward him. That way he’ll always come instead of ignoring you or putting
you off. "

12 " Lorelei smiled mischievously then let fall her greatest weapon. “The secret is you must treat a man like a dog. "

13 " Then why this elaborate abduction? (Lorelei)
Why not? I was there, you were there, Lord Pasty Face was there. It seemed like a perfect opportunity. (Jack) "

14 " Just don’t let yourself get killed before you make your peace, boy. Many’s the soul who consigned themselves to hell without the devil having to lift a finger.(Thadeus) "

15 " They’re true, aren’t they? (Lorelei)
I guess it depends on whom you ask. What I’ve learned over the years is that truth is never so easy. And every person sees a different reality. (Jack) "

16 " You’re not like other people and it pains me to see you do something so common when I know there’s much more to you than that. (Jack)
How do you know? (Lorelei)
I see it every time I look at you. You have a passion for life that burns so bright it almost singes me to be near it. Every time I see you suppress that fire it pains me. I don’t want anything to extinguish that fire. (Jack) "

17 " (Lorelei is accosted by Galbraith.)
If you ever lay hands on what’s mine again, as God is my witness, I’ll lay you down dead. (Jack) "

18 " Would you have really killed him? (Lorelei)
For touching you, absolutely. (Jack) "

19 " (Jack ignored his greeting and slammed his fist straight into the jaw of the spy.)
What did he do? Wear the wrong color coat? Or is it his stock you find offensive this time? (Morgan) "

20 " (Mavis led Lorelei over to a shaded spot on the deck where a large pile of shirts, pants, and socks waited. From where she stood, it was a daunting task.)
How long have you been working on that? Just since the dawn of time, or eternally? (Lorelei) "
