Words were his delight; Hers, a gay gracefulness Of dancing and moving. But when to the place Of deep loving {Starlight at midnight} At last they came, Their full communion And consummation, Their...

Her tears still lay, unattended, on my bosom... I wouldn't wipe them, for she might stop paying me visits.

Oh, darlin', I'm gonna walk you through it, kiss you through it, feel you through it, taste you through it. Hell, I'm hoping you call out my name through it, but for some reason, if I can't get you...

If he wouldn't take charge of this, she would. Take off your clothes.

How astonishingly intimate the business of fiction is, more intimate than anything that issues from the psychiatrist's couch or even the lovers' bed. You see the soul, pinned and wriggling on the...

Sex is an emotion in motion.

So... just kissing ... ? If he was disappointed, he didn't show it. Kudos to him. "Some feeling up is allowed, but nothing below the waist. And absolutely no sex." Just saying it out loud was getting...

He could feel her laughter against his chest, and at that moment he thought that there was no better feeling than making Emma Morley laugh.

{... } I pulled off his shirt, wanting to kiss his skin. He stepped back and straightened up. - In the war room, love? What if someone comes in? I stood up and took off his shirt. - Then you'll have a...

His lips covered hers as he laid the gauze on her leg. Fiery pain shot through her flesh as his lips swallowed her cry, then replaced it with such amazing sensation she wanted to whimper in return. He...

"Simon," she whispered, vaguely surprised that she had just used his first name, for she had never used it even in the privacy of her thoughts. Moistening her dry lips, she tried once more, and to her...

This isn't what I expected when I found out you were sleeping in the house. "What did you expect?" "I expected you'd come over here because you couldn't wait an extra minute to have fabulous,...

I can't believe you let me touch you. His voice grew hoarse. I shall remember this for all my nights. Tears streamed into her eyes. Dearest Virgin Scribe, for all her life, she had waited for a moment...

Or make her blushing cheek a pillow for thy head

She felt both relaxed and protected with him, at least from outside forces. Nothing, it seemed, could protect her from him, and tonight she wasn't even certain she wanted to be. Claimed, and mated....

I want nothing more than to climb between the silk sheets and wrap our nude bodies around one another. I want to hold and be held. Sex is a wondrous thing, but tonight I wish to be comforted more than...

Eric had to make me wake up for long enough to take out my contacts.

I want to sleep with you. Now, tonight, and at any time you may care to call me. I want your naked body, your skin, your mouth, your hands... -I want you like an animal... or a whore.

I've given myself to you. You may have my body, soul, everything. Time passes, and all I want is the intimacy that slows, defeats. and confounds it. Love, that's what it is. You've always made the...

Honey, no offense, but sometimes I think I could shoot you and watch you kick.

I loved you so much once. I did. More than anything in the whole wide world. Imagine that. What a laugh that is now. Can you believe it? We were so intimate once upon a time I can't believe it now....

I find it hard to describe what it is like to look fully into eyes that one has known that well--known better than one knows the look of one's own eyes, actually--and then put away, deliberately...
