“This is all because I danced with—” He tilted his head, all the better to lavish her neck with furious, biting kisses. “I rather doubt dancing was all your suitors had in mind.” “If so, that’s their problem, not mine! What are you mad at me for?” Alaric stumbled back. “I’m not mad at you—” “Could’ve fooled me—” “I’m jealous, Talasyn,” he snapped.” KissJealousyAlaricTalasyn Book:A Monsoon Rising Source: A Monsoon Rising
“I was here first,” she seethed, “you unbelievably annoying man—” His arms opened to receive her and she crashed into his wide, solid chest, and then they were kissing.” KissAlaricTalasyn Book:A Monsoon Rising Source: A Monsoon Rising
“First of all,” he said through gritted teeth, “I don’t know how to react to you. You are infuriating and self-righteous and you get under my skin. Secondly, there have never been any other women—there was never anyone before you—and much to my dismay you have provoked me so much that you’ve wormed your way into my dreams. You are the only one who plagues them. And one last thing”—his voice lowered into a growl—“the next time I kiss you, I want to remember it.” Raindrops dotted his cheek as he bent down. Lightning streaked the sky as he pulled her to him. The Eversea’s dark waves slammed against the shore as he crushed his lips to hers.” KissConfessionAlaricTalasyn Book:A Monsoon Rising Source: A Monsoon Rising
“This kiss felt different from before. There was a lick of anger in the way they moved, yes, but there was also something that Alaric was trying to tell her with his lips and his tongue and his hands—something that her own body echoed back to him. I need you.” KissAlaricTalasyn Book:A Monsoon Rising Source: A Monsoon Rising
“She kissed her way down his scarred face and then their lips caught somehow, and her mirth tapered off into a sigh. Alaric had never kissed her like this before, so gentle and searching.” LoveKissGentleSoftAlaricTalasyn Book:A Monsoon Rising Source: A Monsoon Rising
