Quote by Gina Conkle

“Here's the "explorer" paragraph: Lydia swayed into him, her back arching, but his hands caught her. His warm hand splayed wide against her upper back. The other ventured lower, massaging circles, lower, lower. Edwards’s hands, like his kisses, belonged to an explorer, not a ruthless conqueror. Testing and checking, his firm but gentle caresses enticed her into his web of curiosity and question. His kisses, his touch were not the rehearsed moves of a long-practiced rake, but genuine affection and sensuality braided into an explosive mix that promised to incinerate them on the spot if they didn’t stop.”

Lydia read Edward’s face, the flush of tanned skin and mouth unable to close, as knowledge seeped into his brain: she’d said her vows, eaten dinner with the utmost decorum, and chattered politely with all and sundry in this secret state of undress. Edward groaned and jammed her body hard against his. “You’re naked under your skirt.”

“How could he forget her instructions days ago to deposit all her art supplies in the ballroom? Probably because that brain-muddling embrace outside the gallery scrambled clear thinking. He recalled the distraction of burying his face in the softness of her hair. Her presence seeped into him the same way her simple lemongrass scent invaded his senses. Right now, breathing heavily from exertion, he'd swear her scent surrounded him.”

“Mentre cominciavano a camminare, si piegò verso di lei, sfiorandole i capelli con le labbra. “Hai il suo odore addosso”. Eloise nascose l’imbarazzo con uno sbuffo poco elegante. “Vorrei ben vedere, visto che si è tanto impegnato a lasciarmelo, sapendo che sarei stata con te. Prima o poi mi stancherò di queste sciocchezze, vi avverto”. "Cose da uomini, ragazzina umana". "Cose da idioti" precisò lei. "Umani o meno".”
