“People have always associated the country with love, and they have done well; nothing affords so fine a frame for the woman whom one loves as the blue sky, the odours, the flowers, the breeze, the shining solitude of fields, or woods. However much one loves a woman, whatever confidence one may have in her, whatever certainty her past may offer us as to her future, one is always more or less jealous. If you have been in love, you must have felt the need of isolating from this world the being in whom you would live wholly.”
― Alexandre Dumas fils, La dame aux camélias

He barely suppressed a snort as camera flashes lit them up from every angle. He tucked his arm around her and smiled for the photographers.
"Would a gentleman rip what you're wearing clean off your body, before devouring every inch of your perfect body? Turn your shivers into sweat while you wonder how something so dirty could produce something so beautiful?"

" 'Was she pretty?' " she mimicked the vicar's creaky tones. " 'Very,' " she answered, in a very good imitation of the viscount's own baritone.

My head whipped in his direction. 'What? Why?'

'I don't like the way he looks at you.'

Confused, I glanced back to where Emil was walking toward the stairwell. 'How does he look at me?'

His hand was a scalding brand on my hip, even through the layers of clothing. 'He looks at you like I do.'

My brows lifted. 'That's not true. You look at me like...'

Those heated amber eyes met mine. 'How do I look at you, Princess?'

'You look at me like...' I cleared my throat. 'Like you want to eat me.'

Casteel's eyes narrowed into thin slits as his gaze return to Emil. 'Exactly, he snarled.”

“They stared at me without emotion—without recognition, almost. Even Fjor, who had dragged me beneath him, whose hot mouth had devoured mine only the night before. He narrowed his dark eyes as though he could tell I was remembering it … and he wasn’t happy about it. I smirked in response.

“A Sharing Shearing by Stewart Stafford

A sartorial accoutrement,
The hijacking blister overruns,
Morphs into a restless jockey
A green-eyed stallion mounted.

Sense deep neck bite wounds,
In the snarling invisible attacks,
The naysayers whisper to you:
"Burglars ransack the home."

A blade tip runs down the spine,
Walk a plank of splintered avarice,
Seize the weapon from the intruder,
Cut out the mouth ulcer in exorcism.

“There's a lot we need to talk about, Poppy.'

'There is.' Namely the whole marriage nonsense. 'But talking doesn't require you to be shirtless.'

'Talking doesn't require any clothes at all.' That smoky grin of his returned. 'I can promise you that some of the most interesting conversations take place with no clothes to speak of.'''

Heat blasted my cheeks. 'I'm sure you've had a ton of experience with those types of conversations.'

'Jealous?' Propping his elbow on the arm of the chair, he rested his chin in his palm.

'Hardly.'

The grin increased, and even though I couldn't see the dimple beyond the fingers splayed across his jaw and cheek, I knew it had to be there. 'Then... distracted?'

'No,' I liked, and then lied some more. 'Not even remotely.'

'Ah, I understand. You're dazzled.'

'Dazzled?' A surprised laugh almost broke free. And there it was again, the slight widening of his eyes, the parting of his lips, and the absence of arrogance. It was like watching him slip off a mask, but I had no idea if what was revealed was just another mask, especially when the look disappeared as his features became unreadable again.

I exhaled slowly. 'We don't need to talk about your over-inflated ego. That has been long since established.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

“Where’s Kier?” I realise.

“Are you still mad?”

“Not as much,” I admit, glaring back toward the school. “She looked at your penis.”

“So did the kids. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have shifted in front of them.”

“She blushed.” I grind my teeth and fist my hands.

“And?”

“And?” I face him, my rage rising again. “That’s my penis!”

He beams at me. “Say it again.”

Narrowing my eyes, I poke his chest. “My. Penis.”
― Rory Miles, Shadow Slayer
