“As of now, we’re EXCLUSIVE!” he exclaims, enunciating each word slowly and stressing the very last one. I look at him, appalled. “I want to be the only man in your life,” he adds with dominance in his tone. Who the heck does he think he is? My sensible side tells me to run for the hills because he’s a possessive jerk, but I don’t want to. My feet are being obstinate. They won’t move. I think I’m already emotionally hooked on him. Stupidly, I decide to forgive his mood and set my uncertainties aside."
"I’ve accomplished my task of leaving my scent on her bed for this evening, so it’s time for me to go."
"I couldn’t wait a second longer to see you,” he whispers against my lips and places the lotus in my hand. “I adore you the same way you adored this delicate flower the other day at the resort.”
"God, I think I’m starting to fall really hard for this man."
"Lily, when I saw your heart welled up with tears caring for those innocent children at the hospital, I realized then what my life was missing. You’re the tenderness I need to soften my heart. X C"
“Lily, I know we’ve only known each other for a short time, but I can’t imagine a life without you in it. I don’t want to. Since we’ve met, you’re all that occupies my mind— day and night." ... “Carson, you’ll never have to worry about losing me as long as I have your heart. When I give you mine, it’s yours forever… unless you break it."
“Damn. Do I know you? Who’s this hot, sexy vixen in my innocent angel’s dress?” ... “I hope you don’t mind, but I retired your angel for the night. You’ll have to settle for this vixen instead,” I counter his teasing as I timidly drop my eyes to my hands."
