“Mircea must have heard us come in, but he continued what he was doing. He stood with his back to us, the candlelight on his bare skin causing his muscles to fall into sharp relief. He’d washed the river gunk out of his hair and now he threw it back, the water droplets shimmering in the light. The scene looked for all the world like a really good romance novel cover.” WorldLightRomanceFallWaterNovelHeardHairSceneRiversSkinsMusclesReliefRomance NovelCandlelightDropletsBare Skin Book:Cassie Palmer Novels 1-5 Source: Cassie Palmer Novels 1-5
“He shifted over without comment, lifting the blankets, and I scrambled into the warm sheets beside him. He smelled like soap and sleep and bare skin. He smelled familiar. Not the deja vu familiar of Guy or Mel. Familiar like...the ache in your chest of homesickness, of longing for harbor after weeks of rough seas or craving a fire's warmth after snow--or wanting back something you should never have given away.” ShouldGuyGivenSleepFireWeekSeaSkinsLongingWarmSnowFamiliarRoughChestsCommentWarmthSheetsAcheCravingSoapHarborsBlanketLiftingHomesicknessDeja VuBare SkinRough Seas Author:Josh Lanyon
“She looked up from closing it to find Jace watching her through hooded eyes. “And one last thing,” he said. He reached over and pulled the sparking pins out of her hair, so that it fell in warm heavy curls down her neck. The sensation of hair tickling her bare skin was unfamiliar and oddly pleasant. “Much better,” he said, and she thought this time that maybe his voice was uneven too.” SaidEyeLastsVoiceHairSkinsHeavyWarmPleasantNecksSensationsJaceClosingPinsUnfamiliarCurlsTicklingSparkingBare Skin Author:Cassandra Clare

“In some parallel universe, there was a Gansey who could tell Blue that he found the ten inches of her bare calves far more tantalizing than the thirteen cubic feet of bare skin Orla sported. But in this universe, that was Adam’s job.

“Adam was in the dream, too; he traced the tangled pattern of ink with his finger. He said, "Scio quid hoc est." As he traced it further and further down on the bare skin of Ronan's back, Ronan himself disappeared entirely, and the tattoo got smaller and smaller. It was a Celtic knot the size of a wafer, and then Adam, who had become Kavinsky, said "Scio quid estis vos." He put the tattoo in his mouth and swallowed it. Ronan woke with a start, ashamed and euphoric. The euphoria wore off long before the shame did. He was never sleeping again.” LongSaidDreamSleepMouthsSkinsShameFingersSizePatternsAshamedAdamTattooInkKnotsTangledCelticEuphoriaEuphoricBare Skin Author:Maggie Stiefvater
