Erin Nicholas Quotes

• “I’m a little dirty,” he said huskily, running his hand up and down the outside of one of her thighs. “I washed up but should have showered. Didn’t expect this.”
  
  “You probably should have expected this.” Her voice sounded a little breathless.
  
  “Yeah,” he agreed, his eyes darkening. “I probably should have.”
  
  “It’s okay,” she told him. “I’m washable.” Images of showers and soap bubbles tripped through her mind and she hoped through his as well.
  
  He gave her a little grin. “Good to know. Means I can get you really dirty.”
  
  Juliet felt her breathing quicken. She put her hand against his face, over his scar. “I really want that.”
  
  Sawyer slid a hand up her back and into her hair. He urged her closer until her lips were nearly against his. “Me, too.”

• “He was fully anticipating her lips being bright red to go with her toenail polish. Damn, he loved red lipstick.
  
  But before he could get to those lips, she used them, to say, “Oh, dammit, it’s you.”
  
  Owen’s gaze bypassed her mouth to fly to her eyes.
  Because he’d know that voice anywhere.
  
  Madison Allain was home.
  
  A day early.
  
  Not that an extra day would have helped him prepare. He’d been thinking about her visit for a week and was still as wound tight about it as he’d been when Sawyer had told him that she was coming home. For a month.
  
  Owen stood just watching her, fighting back all of the first words that he was tempted to say.
  
  Like, “Damn, you’re even more gorgeous than the last time I saw you.”
  
  Or, “I haven’t put anyone in the hospital lately.”
  
  Or, “I’ve missed you so damned much.”
  
  Just for instance.
  
  He wiped his hands on his jeans. Okay, he was supposed to be nice to her. That meant treating her like she was one of the tourists who frequented this dock. Polite. Friendly,
  
  But not I’ve-known-you-my-whole-life-and-kissed-you-a-whole-bunch friendly. Just mildly hey-how’s-it-goin’ friendly.
  
  Nice. Polite. A little friendly—but not too much. He could do that. Though it probably meant not saying things like, “I still remember how your nipples taste.”

• “Maybe she should have been grateful for the soft, lingering, slow kisses in the kitchen. Because in that moment, she wasn't sure she was ready for a full-on, take-over-everything-including-her-body-and-heart Sawyer.
  
  That was absolutely the best way to describe how he was looking at her right now.
  
  She had no time to get ready, though. Sawyer's mouth took hers in a deep, hot kiss. He didn't say a word, gave her no real warning, just sealed his lips over hers and started kissing her as if it was his single goal in life to make her come with just his lips on hers.”

• “Juliet laughed. "I am not the first woman to tell you that she finds you attractive."
  
  "No," he said, again almost as if he was thinking out loud. "But you're the first to lay it out like that. And the first with the scar."
  
  "I'm not," she said, with absolute confidence. "I might be the first to say it, but no, Saywer, other women have found that hot too. I promise you.”

• “Kennedy Landry wasn't really the patiently-wait-on-hold type of woman. Kennedy Landry was, however, the type of woman that made a man want to take what tiny semblance of control he could find and grab onto it like it was a lifeboat in the midst of a hurricane.”

• “I realized that if you never do anything new, you never learn anything. And learning things changes you. Even if those things aren't what you intended to learn. You're never the same after an adventure, Kennedy." She tapped a finger over her heart. "In here you change. And in here you change," she said, tapping her temple that time. "I had to learn some things--make some mistakes--on my own. I thought." She gave a soft laugh."The thing is, once you have Leo Landry in your life, you're never really on your own again.”
