Ainsley Quotes

“I don't want to be friends with you, Ainsley Douglas. I want to be your lover. I want to bury myself inside you, I want to find out whether you taste as good all the way down, I want to feel you squeezing me, and I want to hear your cries as you take me inside you.”
― Jennifer Ashley, The Many Sins of Lord Cameron

“El, you are telling me to run away with a man to become his mistress."

"I am telling you to be happy. Even if it lasts only a little while. We must snatch what we can when we have the chance. Life is so very lonely when we don't.”
― Jennifer Ashley, The Many Sins of Lord Cameron

“My heart is where you are, Ainsley. So when you leave..." Cameron made an empty gesture.

"I'll come back," she said stubbornly.

"To this wreck of a man? Why should you?"

"Because I love you”
― Jennifer Ashley, The Many Sins of Lord Cameron

“Why are you all buttoned up like that?" Cameron ran his gaze down the blackberry-shaped buttons of her bodice.[...] "You were happy to bare all last night," Cameron said. He let his mallet handler hover an inch from her chest. "Your bodice was down here."

Ainsley cleared her throat. "Low neckline for evening, high for morning."[...]

"This doesn’t suit you," Cameron said.

"I can’t help the fashion, Lord Cameron."

Cameron poked the top button with his gloved finder. "Undo this."

Ainsley jumped. "What?"

"Unbutton your damned frock."

She nearly choked. "Why?"

"Because I want you to." Cameron's smile spread across his face, slow and sinful, and his voice went low. Dangerous. "Tell me, Mrs. Douglas. How many buttons will you undo for me?”

“Blackmailers are never satisfied." His laughter faded into bitterness.

"Aren't they? How do you know?"

His words were empty, hollow. "When you're the brother of a duke and your wife died in mysterious circumstances, sharks come out of the woodwork."

"That's a mixed metaphor."

"Bugger metaphors. They're human sharks and they come out of the shadows when you least expect them.”
― Jennifer Ashley, The Many Sins of Lord Cameron

“I am a bad man, very bad, but in a different way. I want to ravish you until we’re both senseless with it, and then I want to do it all over again.”
― Jennifer Ashley, The Many Sins of Lord Cameron

“Daniel swept Ainsley into a strong hug. "I knew you'd come back. Didn't I say so? Dad!” he bellowed up the stairs as he set Ainsley on her feet. "It’s Ainsley!"

"He knows, lad". Mac laughed. "I think the whole county knows.”

“ “Esa chica esta bien caliente.” Hector laughed as Rider shook his head. Ainsley stiffened across from me. She was pretty fluent in Spanish and even though Hector was Puerto Rican, I had a feeling she was getting the general gist of whatever he was saying and she was not happy about it. “Me gustaria a llevarla a mi casa y comermela.”
Ainsley cocked her head to the side as she brushed her long, blond hair over her shoulder. “Gracias! Pero no hay ni una parte de mi que tu te vas a comer.”
Hector’s eyes widened.
Rider threw his head back and burst into laughter. “Oh, shit. Priceless.”
“What?” Ainsley blinked big eyes at the stunned Hector. “You think some white chick can’t possibly understand another language so you’re going to sit in front of me and talk about me like I’m not here?” Her smile was brittle and fake. “Bitch, please.”
“Man...” Hector sat back, slowly shaking his head as he stared at her. “You’re...brutal.”
“Damn straight,” she replied, her eyes like chips of blue ice. Whatever yumminess she’d seen in Hector was completely out the window now. “And you’re a mal criado.”
Hector’s eyes narrowed.
“I really like your friend, Mouse.” Still chuckling, Rider winked at me. “She basically called him a classless ass, and I agree.”

“I don't want you back because you feel obligated to me, love," he said. "That's the devil of wedding vows - they make you do things for a person you maybe should run away from. Come back to me because you want to, not because you think you ought to. Do you understand?”

“I’m supposed to meet Ainsley for lunch and then...we’re hanging out.”
He was silent for a moment and then shoved his hands into his pockets. “Cool.” His gaze flipped up and over me. I turned slightly, spying Hector’s car coming down the center aisle. “I’d like to meet her.”
Wait.
What?
He wanted to meet Ainsley?
Rider bit down on his lower lip. “So, you know, I’m sort of inviting myself along.”
He really wanted to meet my best friend?
His head tilted to the side. “And if you think that’s not cool, this is about to get real awkward.”

“I wanted him to meet Ainsley. She was super important to me. I made my decision. “I...I would like that.”
Rider’s reaction was immediate. He smiled and the dimple appeared. My breath caught. I’d actually invited Rider along to meet Ainsley. I wanted that. Really wanted that, but I had no idea what to do with that.
Regardless, excitement hummed through me. Hanging out with Rider and Ainsley was normal. Something a million people probably did every day, because they were actually living life, but it was a first for me—a huge first. It was my best friend and it was the guy...the guy who’d been my best friend and who now, despite everything, felt like something deeper, richer and more intricate, hanging out together.
It felt important.”

“I am one very simple man, Princess,” he said, striding away. Seemed my audience with him was over. “I protect what’s mine.”

“You also protect me.”

It was said so low that I’d swear on my life that I misheard, but what I incorrectly heard him reply was—

“Guess that means you’re mine too.”

“Wow. Who knew carnage was what it took to brighten your day?”

“His gaze locked with mine and a slow grin appeared on his face. He didn’t look like he had last night. More like he did every day at school. Worn jeans. A black henley instead of a T-shirt and beat-up sneakers, but goodness, I couldn’t think.
Okay. Not true. I could think, but I was thinking things I really had no concept of. I was thinking about those full, slightly curved lips and how they must feel in places...other than my forehead or cheek. I was thinking about his hands and how strong they were and the oddly pleasant calluses on his palms. I was thinking about...about a lot of things—things that now didn’t feel so wrong since he was actually single.
Noticing my near-prone position, Ainsley looked over her shoulder. “Oh, my good God almighty,” she murmured. “That’s him?”
“Yes,” I whispered. That was so him.”

“The moment Rider was out of earshot, Ainsley turned to me. “Mal, he is hot.”
I flushed as I picked up my drink. Rider was hot with two extra Ts. There was no questioning that, but it went beyond the physical hotness. Underneath all of that good stuff was a really...really good guy. A shiny heart.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, The Problem with Forever

“Do you know who that is?” Ainsley asked.
Swallowing as I placed the glass down, I nodded. “His name is...Hector. He’s Rider’s friend.”
A slow smile curled her lips. “He’s yummy.”
Just at that moment Hector laughed at something Rider must’ve said. The sound was deep and it traveled, turning several heads in the café. Hector was yummy. No doubt about that, but my gaze strayed to Rider. He smiled slightly, the dimple in his right cheek playing peekaboo. His lips moved and Hector glanced over at our table.
Surprise flickered over his face and then his full lips kicked up when his gaze settled on Ainsley and stayed.
“Me likie,” she whispered. “Does he have a girlfriend?”
I shrugged, wondering if she still had a boyfriend.”

“Her stomach was doing somersaults again and she just needed to get the feeling off her chest.”
― Adrian J. Smith, Memoir in the Making

“It doesn’t bother me. And it should, and it’s the fact that it should bother me that bothers me.”
― Adrian J. Smith, Memoir in the Making

“I choose death by height. Let a dragon carry me to the heavens and drop me. A grim smile twisted my lips. At least for a moment, I’ll fly.”
― R.A. Vincent, Broken Wings

“I had another plan that was ten times riskier and a hundred times more stupid. I should’ve known that was meant to be plan A.”
― R.A. Vincent, Broken Wings

“Nice try, but flattery stopped working on me around the time you laughed in my face minutes before my execution.”
― R.A. Vincent, Broken Wings

“Dominic Roark and Ainsley Boreen were meant to be. Eternal enemies. Bitter adversaries. Respected opponents. Destined soulmates.”
― R.A. Vincent, Broken Wings

“All my life, I hadn’t been waiting for my mother to return, my magic to appear, or Reyna to choose me. It was Dominic. It always was, and it always would be.”
