Quote by Beverly Jenkins

“You aren't a hitter, are you?" He stared down, confused. "You mean will I hit you?" "Yes. I know that some men are." "No. Never." He gathered her back in and held her tight. "Never." "Good. I didn't think you were." He pulled back and scanned her face. "If I do you have my permission to shoot me." "I'll shoot you permission or not." He laughed. "We're going to do well together.”

“Rannik had drudged past the salvager's stall, took one look at her, and purchased her. And thank goodness for that bit of luck. Lassies were used as sexbots. Roughly used. . . . Her cheeks flamed as she recalled that awkward encounter. He, a rambunctious youth, had wanted to check under her carriage. She, a rampaging bitch, had slapped some decency into him. Now they got along smashingly. Just an average teenage boy with his secret alien companion.”
