"There a problem, princess?"
Princess? She gritted her teeth. (…)
"Secondly," he said, interrupting her would-be rant as he dropped his amusement as easily as removing a mask, "contrary to your belief, I know exactly how to treat a woman. In every aspect."
"I don't use lines. I use compliments. And telling a woman something she already knows isn't a compliment. You have to tell her true things she doesn't know."
"I'd tell you you're the most intriguing woman I've ever met, and I'm dying to discover what's underneath that sexy confidence you wear so well."
"So, V, tell me about yourself."
"Your sister calls me Nessie. Most people do."
"I know your ancestors hail from Scotland, what with that hair and last name and all, but you don't look like an elusive aquatic dinosaur hiding in a loch to me. I'll stick with V."
"Strange," she said in the sarcastic tone he was growing accustomed to from her. "Lucie never mentioned how incredibly annoying you are."
She's' back, ladies and gentlemen.
"The day a vibrator satisfies my lover more than me is the day I make myself a eunuch."
"My turn again."
"And where, pray tell, do you plan on doing it this time?"
"Talk is cheap, Counselor. I'm a man of action." He captured her wrists and placed them above her head on the arm of the couch. "Be good and keep those there for me."
"And if I don't?"
"Move 'em and find out." He nipped her earlobe, then whispered, "I'm kind of hoping you do."
"Now," he rasped as he dragged the pad of his thumb in circles around her clit, "I want you to ask me for what you want. Ask me to let you come, V."

Could you die from orgasm deprivation? She'd bet the answer was yes, but she had no desire to find out.
"Please, Jackson," she said, not only pleading with her words but in the way her back arched toward the ceiling and her fingers dug into her breasts. "Please let me come."
The muscles in his jaw leaped with a slight flare of his nostrils. "My pleasure."
"But just as a fighter can't predict what an opponent will do as he works to execute his plan, we can't predict what love will throw our way as we search for that perfect person." Eyes alight with the setting sun met hers, melting her resolve from the inside out. "And more often than not, who we think we need isn't at all who we really need."
"I gave you But this…" He tapped a finger next to the fresh ink. "This is for you, for us. I wanted a tattoo of you on my skin, because I can't show you the one you've already left on my heart."
“I’d rather fight and lose than never step inside the cage.”

Oh, he was definitely doable. Did Hawaiians have the saying "Save a surfboard, ride a surfer?"
"Glad to hear it. ow I'm going to go surf off this raging hard-on while you relax."
She couldn't help but laugh. "Good luck with that."
"I'll need it. It'll probably throw off my balance."
"Am I being examined on the stand, Counselor?"
"Just making conversation. Believe me, if I were examining you on the witness stand, you'd know it by the fear clawing your gut."
"I promise you'll like it, V."
If she hadn't heard the smartass smile behind his offer she would've already plotted the demise of his family jewels. But he didn't have to know they were safe."You can spank me if I get to shave your balls with a straight razor." Then she added in a mocking tone, "I promise I won't slip, Jax."
"Enjoy your last few hours of being in control, V. Because after that...you're mine"

"Always, always, always tell her how much you love her, now & forever, before it's too late."
