Regan Penhaligon had seduced him past the point of no return.
His nanny. His brother’s soon-to-be sister-in-law. His employee, thirteen years his junior.
Go wait for me in the annex,” he demanded. Her eyes widened slightly. “Clothes off. Keep your underwear on because I want to take it off. And lights on so I can see you. When I get there, I expect you on the bed with your legs spread.”
“This is madness.”
“Then let’s just be mad,” she whispered..
“People don’t want to know if you’re sad or hurt or angry or depressed, Robbie. Not even so-called friends. They just want you to say that you’re fine so they don’t have to expend emotional energy on you.”
“Whenever I was having a strenuous day or week (or month!), I liked to reread my favorite books. There was something comforting not only about a happy ending but also in going through the emotional angst of a couple’s roller-coaster relationship, enjoying their pain and passion, because you already knew how it ended.”
“You’re my woman and I’m your man, and fuck what anyone else has to say about it.”
“The reminder that Thane couldn’t sweep her into his arms and bury his face in her throat so he could feel and hear her pulse rushing, alive and healthy, was a gut punch.”
“Happy here?” Thane asked gruffly.
“I’m happy wherever I am, as long as I’m there with you.”
“We can go around and around in circles for days, weeks…but it won’t chase this away, Thane. You want me. It isn’t convenient. It’s complicated…but it’s unavoidable.”
“Go wait for me in the annex,” he demanded. Her eyes widened slightly. “Clothes off. Keep your underwear on because I want to take it off. And lights on so I can see you. When I get there, I expect you on the bed with your legs spread.”
“I’m so in love with you, it scares me.”
“I’m happy where I am, as long as I’m there with you.”
"She was too young for him.
Not to mention his brother's soon-to-be sister-in-law.
And he was her boss."
"Regan was trouble.
But only because he wanted her.
Like really, really was seriously lusting after her.
His nanny.
His brother’s soon-to-be sister-in-law.
His employee, thirteen years his junior.
Never again, he vowed."
"This is madness."
"The let's just be mad."
"Do you know?" Regan asked, half yelling, half crying. "Do you know what it's like to love someone this much and have them only want this one thing from you?"
"Happy here?"
"I'm happy wherever I am, as long as I'm there with you."
