1 " I’d be careful about watching me too closely.”“Why?” She smiled to match the sassy tone in her voice.The smirk that had lingered on his face dropped away, replaced by a serious expression. “You might not like what you see. "

2 " That’s what you asked him?”“Yeah, why?” Gina scrunched her face with confusion.“I thought you were going to say something juicy.”“Like what?”“I don’t know, like if he would be your sex slave or something like that.”“Kelly! Why would I ask him that?”“He’s a hot guy, you’re a hot girl. We’re in a super romantic castle on the coast.” Kelly waved her hand around the room for emphasis. “Why the hell not generate some heat in between these cold stone walls? "
3 " Look at me, Regina.”She glanced up at him, appearing tiny. He stood almost a foot taller than her in his boots while she wore flats, which looked like ballet shoes. His palms heated and his heartbeat raced. Her scent that had teased him from afar now tormented him up close. God, he wanted to wrap himself in that scent, bury himself deep inside her. "
4 " I like solitude.”“Doesn’t seem to fit with the personality of a rock guitarist.”“Let me tell you a secret.” He leaned forward. “My stage persona is not who I am at all.”Gina realized she had completely stopped painting while listening, enraptured with what he had to say. “What are you then?”He gave her a mischievous grin that reached his eyes. “Right now, I’m just a guy standing in front of a pretty girl who makes his pulse race. "
5 " When you live among piranhas, you find truth and goodness an asset. "
6 " I’m into you, Gina.” He studied her face, her parted lips, and then pulled his gaze away. “But we can never be together. "
7 " Does this make me your muse?” His voice was a low, luscious tone that rippled through her…“In a way, I guess it does.” She took a step back, she needed air. Being around him, so close, made it too difficult to breathe.“Maybe you’ll be mine. "
8 " Can I see it yet?”Gina shook her head with wide eyes. “Not until it’s done. I hate letting anyone see my work until it’s finished.“Why?” A curious glint twinkled from his eyes.“Uh, uh. I don’t know,” she stammered. “It’s not ready to be seen. Naked, I guess. Unfinished.”“I let you hear a few chords of my music. Unfinished.” His voice dropped to a dangerously sexy tone. “Naked. "
9 " You could inspire any man to do a number of things. "
10 " Their art was a natural pairing – Savannah’s poems were intensely romantic and sensual, and Antoine’s sculptures were erotically charged – and it only fueled the talk speculating if they were together. "
11 " You don’t have to pose,” she said. “I want to capture you as you were. Forget I’m even here.”He gave her a lopsided grin. “It’s impossible not to notice you. "
