“The kiss was like nothing I had ever experienced. I didn’t know bodies could be so close.
What the heck had those other boys been doing when I gave them my lips? Those weren’t kisses. I was sure of it now.”
― Hailey Barr, The Nanny's Second Chance

“Wanna try some?”
“Sure. Feed me.” And she leaned forward to open her mouth.
I swear that did something to my body. My insides went all quiet, and I could clearly hear the blood in my ears and feel it in places I’d rather not mention yet. It was definitely flowing faster down there.”
― Hailey Barr, The Nanny's Second Chance

“You have no idea how much I want to touch you and have my way with you against that wall, but not like this. I need you to be sober when you want me. I need you to be in a clear mind so you won’t have any regrets. You were not just a one night stand to me.”

“I love your accent. If I may be bold once again, it’s very sexy.”

“The minute I saw him. No, the second I saw him, my world froze. Actually, it was just my brain, because my body, skin, and bones warmed up just with the sight and memory of him. I couldn’t think, hear, or move. All I could do was stare at the man I thought was the most beautiful specimen on this planet. The man I left, the man I had to leave.”

“What do you want, Bella?”
“I want the heat.”

“He placed his hand on my back as if to steady me. It was warm, and I liked how protected I felt.
Yes, I felt the betrayal of my own flesh and blood. I was like a cracked dam wall, ready to let the water flow through.
Move away! But my body didn’t. It just stood there.
And it felt so good.
Oh, crap. Did I just lean in?”
― Hailey Barr, The Nanny's Second Chance

“You’re still in shock. Your body is reacting on adrenalin.”
“I don’t care.”
I pull myself further away from her body and I know I’m going to need a moment to calm down.
“But you will tomorrow. You have no idea how much I want to touch you and have my way with you against that wall, but not like this. I need you to be sober when you want me. I need you to be in a clear mind so you won’t have any regrets. You were not just a one night stand to me.”

“Good morning, Isabella,”
“Uncle Sebby, she told me at breakfast she likes the name Bella, so we’re all calling her Bella. You call her Bella too.”
“Bella,” I said simply, testing the name on my lips and loving how it sounded, but loving even more how the shade on her cheeks darkened.”

“Nothing could compare to waking up with Nora by my side. I had yearned for this for so long. I blinked my eyes a few times to make sure I was awake and that I wasn’t in a dream. No, no dream. She was very real and exactly where she was meant to be—with me.”

“I’m not going anywhere, I can’t. Not again. Leaving you… not coming back to you the first time—it broke me. How could I ever think that was best for you, for us? All I did was hurt us both. I’ll carry the guilt. I won’t lie about that. What happened to Charlie, to you, it’s always going to weigh on me. But you’re right. I need you, Cupcake. I can’t help feeling guilty, but I’d rather feel it right here with you, so you can slap me silly when I need it.”
“How about this? How about I kiss you silly instead of striking you? You think that would help you feel better?”
“I think I can handle that. Although the force of your kisses is so powerful, my heart feels like it will explode.”
“Oh, well, we can’t have that now, can we?”
“The heck we can’t!”

“I held my breath and watched him pick one up and bring it to his mouth.
He admired the swirl of dark cream again before taking a bite. His eyes widened, and he let out a moan of pleasure. He sat down on the stool, like his body couldn’t handle the emotions the flavors caused him.
“Man, I need another one.” This time, he grabbed one with white frosting. Lemon and strawberry.
He groaned and I thought my insides were going to melt. My heart was certainly beating at an odd rhythm.
“Now I know what it feels like when a cupcake whispers at you. I didn’t know cupcakes could whisper like that to my taste buds. It’s telling them how amazing these are!”

“I need to take you home.” His voice was strained, as if he was fighting something, and I knew home was not the place I wanted to be.
“I don’t want to go home,”
“What are you saying, Cupcake?”
“Take me home with you,” I whispered. “To your home.”

“I still feel like I need your forgiveness. I can’t… I can’t move forward without that.”
My heart burned with his pain. “You’re already forgiven, Jace. You’ve always been forgiven. Now let it go. Let us both be free of it.”
A small, shaky breath escaped him, and he nodded, his eyes glistening with emotion. “Thank you,” he whispered, his voice raw.
“You never needed to ask.” I kissed him lightly on the mouth. “Now hold me tight and don’t let go.”
“Yes ma’am.” He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me as he spooned me. 
Never had my bed felt this warm.”

“She rubbed her fingers on my beard again. “This is new.” She tilted her head as if examining with her eyes now. Her fingers weren’t enough.
I worried she might not like the longer style I was carrying. “I can shave it off, if you want,” I said quickly.
“No!” And her slender fingers grabbed my beard. Yeah, it was long enough for that, and it still tugged painfully, so I winced. “Don’t you dare take it off. I like it,” she said with a rumble in her voice that sent vibrations all the way down. My Cupcake was possessive.”
