    “My grandfather would have loved to have met you," he told her huskily. "He would have called you 'She Moves Trees Out of His Path.' "

    She looked lost, but his da laughed. He'd known the old man, too.

    "He called me 'He Who Must Run into Trees,'" Charles explained, and in a spirit of honesty, a need for his mate to know who he was, he continued, "or sometimes 'Running Eagle.' "

    " 'Running Eagle'?" Anna puzzled it over, frowning at him. "What's wrong with that?"

    "Too stupid to fly," murmured his father with a little smile.”
    Patricia Briggs, Hunting Ground

    “This is where you belong, Calla.” He pulled me closer, tilting my chin up. “Be with me. Tell me it’s what you want.”
    I couldn’t tear my eyes from his. “What I want?”
    “Yes. Anything, everything you need, I’ll give you. Always. I promise. Just tell me one thing.”
    “What?”
    “That you want this, us.” His voice dropped so low I could barely hear him. “That someday you’ll love me.”
    My hands began to tremble where they rested around his neck. “Ren, you know we’re going to be together. We’ve both known that for a long time.”
    He gave me a hard look. “That’s not what I’m talking about.”
    “Why are you asking me this?” I tried to pull back, but he held me against him.
    The glimmer of a smile appeared on his lips. “Why not?”
    My temper flared. “Are you trying to say that you love me?”
    I meant it as a challenge rather than a serious question, but his eyes seemed to catch fire.
    “What do you think?” He touched his lips to mine, softly at first, gradually building pressure, parting them.”
    Andrea Cremer, Nightshade

    “What’s three?” I asked, hoping to move away from this uncomfortable topic.
    The smile pulled at his lips again.
    “Three.” One of his hands cupped my face and the other slid around my back. He pulled my body against his and my heart began to pound. I took advantage of my free hand and pushed at his chest.
    “I don’t think so, Lily,” he said. “If you want to get rid of me, you’ll need to do better than that.”
    I drew a sharp breath and tried to wiggle away, but he held me firmly in place, watching me struggle. He grinned as he lifted me up onto the sink.
    “What are you doing?” I started to panic. “Someone could come in!”
    “If they see us, they’ll just turn around and get out of here,” he murmured, lips touching my ear. “No one crosses me.”
    His hips pressed against my knees, opening them, pushing my skirt up my legs. I gripped his shirt, clinging to him so I wouldn’t fall into the sink. His hand pushed into my lower back. I gasped as his body fitted against mine.
    Heat flooded my chest, my pelvis. I thought I would drown in it.
    “We can’t—” His lips stopped my words. The kiss just made me dizzier. I dug my fingers into his shoulders.
    “You said you didn’t want to be left alone.” His tongue flicked over my cheekbone. “This is me pestering you.”
    “Aren’t you breaking the rules?” I could barely get the words out. “What about the union?”
    “I’d rather have you on my own terms.” His hand slipped between my thighs.
    All strength fled my limbs. “I can’t breathe.”
    “That means you like it.” He kissed me again.”
    Andrea Cremer, Nightshade

    “The way you move is incredible.” Ren drew me back to press against him. His fingers slid down to the curve of my hips, rocking our bodies in rhythm with the heavy bass. The sensation of being molded against the hard narrow line of his hips threatened to overwhelm me. We were hidden in the mass of people, right? The Keepers couldn’t see?
    I tried to steady my breath as Ren kept us locked together in the excruciatingly slow pulse of the music. I closed my eyes and leaned back into his body; his fingers kneaded my hips, caressed my stomach. God, it felt good.
    My lips parted and the misty veil slipped between them, playing along my tongue. The taste of flower buds about to burst into bloom filled my mouth. Suddenly I wanted nothing more than to melt into Ren. The surge of desire terrified me. I had no idea if the compulsion to draw him more tightly around my body emerged from my own heart or from the succubi’s spellcraft. This couldn’t happen!
    I started to panic when he bent his head, pressing his lips against my neck. My eyes fluttered and I struggled to focus despite the suffocating heat that pressed down all around me. His sharpened canines traced my skin, scratching but not breaking the surface. My body quaked and I pivoted in his arms, pushing against his chest, making space between us.
    “I’m a fighter, not a lover,” I gasped.
    “You can’t be both?” His smile made my knees buckle.”
    Andrea Cremer, Nightshade

    “I blushed when he stepped behind me, encircling my waist with his arms.
    His lips brushed against my ear. “I believe the answer that will not get me in trouble with you is: the happiest day of my life. Or something along those lines. Definitely not the end of my carefree days or when I get a ball and chain. Hmmm, I’m just realizing that I’m going to have to buy you birthday and anniversary presents at the same time. What a pain.”
    Andrea Cremer, Nightshade

    “The mouthful of turkey sandwich I’d bitten off caught in my throat when Ren rested his hand on my leg, his fingers exploring the curve of my thigh. I coughed and snatched the bottle of water from his other hand, taking several desperate swallows before swatting his fingers from my leg.
    “Are you trying to kill me?” I choked the words out. “Keep your hands to yourself.”
    Andrea Cremer, Nightshade

    “Oh gods! My eyes!" Connor covered his face. "My innocence!"

    “Fingers circled my wrist. My head whipped around to see Ren’s eyes dancing with dark mirth while he drew me toward him like he was reeling in a prize catch.
    “So what’s for lunch?” He pulled me onto his lap.”
    Andrea Cremer, Nightshade

    “Our kisses were so full of need, so long, so fierce that I could hardly gasp for breath.
    (Calla and Ren)”

    Andrea Cremer
    “Would you like to have dinner with me?”
    “You mean go on a date?” I focused on stirring instead of my suddenly racing heart. “When?”
    “Before the union. Have dinner with me and I’ll take you to Blood Moon for a couple of hours until it’s time for the ceremony.” His fingers moved from the pleats to the hem of my sweater, his hand slipping under the pale blue cashmere to stroke the skin of my lower back.
    I gasped, caught his wrist in my fingers, and pulled his hand away from its provocative exploration.
    “We are in class,” I hissed at him through clenched teeth.”
    Andrea Cremer, Nightshade

    Andrea Cremer
    “He leaned toward me, murmuring, “I think one-on-one sounds better, don’t you?”
    His teeth gently caught my earlobe. All my muscles turned to liquid. I dropped the stirring rod and grabbed the edge of the table so I wouldn’t collapse.”
    Andrea Cremer, Nightshade

    “I-just want you. I want you so bad, all the time. I know I shouldn't, I know I can't, I know it's wrong... but even when you're pissing me off, when you're reminding me of pain and despair and torture-it's there, the wanting. I'm tired of fighting it. I fight so many things, all the time, every day. I don't want to fight this. Not anymore.”
    Cate Tiernan, Immortal Beloved
