Besotted Hero Quotes

“When night falls, I ache for you.You are like a fever that has entered my brain and though i try to escape you, though I tell myself I am mad, that nothing good can come from it, that you are like all the others, that you will betray and cause me nothing but pain, in the end I am left with only a gnawing desire to have you in my arms,to kiss you...to make love to you."

“Sara: You have no scruples about taking a woman from the man you believe she loves?
Nick: I'd take you from my own brother. I don't give a damn how I get you, so long as I do.”
― Charlotte Lamb

“Nick,' he corrected quietly. 'As to your emotions, they show in your face, in
those amazing eyes. One day soon those eyes will change colour and glow
for me.'
'They already have done,' Joanna snapped, rage surfacing. 'I never liked you,
Mr Martella, and now I can only think I hate you. If I should ever know that
you're coming here again I'll make quite sure I'm a long way off!'
He took one menacing step towards her and Joanna backed away, her
expression of loathing making his face harden frighteningly.
'I will not touch you,' he grated angrily. 'I will merely tell you this: J leave
for America tomorrow. I shall be there for two months. When I return I
intend to come for you.'
The thought of people in the house left Joanna's head entirely. Her hands
clenched at her sides and her considerable temper surfaced over grief, fear
and utter bewilderment.
'If you were the last man in the universe I wouldn't consent to be near you!'
she shouted. 'You've taken away everything I've ever wanted. You've even
sneaked up and taken my father. Now I can never go to Santa Marta again!'
'I know you love the island,' he said with surprising quiet. 'Your father told
me. We will live there and you will see your father whenever you care to
walk down the beach to his house.'
'I'll see him when he comes over to England,' Joanna corrected bitterly. 'One
thing is for sure, though: after today I'll never see you again! Forget the mad
idea about me, Mr Martella, because I'd rather die!'
'You will not die, Joanna,' he said silkily, 'unless it is the small death that
lovers die in each other's arms. And I intend to be your lover. In two months
I will be back.”

“I want you.Every instinct i possess urges me to mount my horse and ride from here as if all the demons in hell were after me,but i cannot.I find myself deliberately walking into the web of your spinning."

“Do you know what you did to me?' he asked bitterly. 'You bloody well
emasculated me. I destroyed my manhood over you. I threw away my pride,
my self-control. I despised myself, and I hated you for the way you made me
feel...'

“Don’t even suggest another woman,’ he rasped, his eyes hard. ‘Since you first looked at me so incredulously because you thought I was James walking I haven’t looked at, or wanted, another woman!"

“Holly, what is it?’ he frowned. ‘Darling, tell me what’s wrong? I know we didn’t plan on making love, but it was the most beautiful thing imaginable, so tell me what’s wrong’

She still couldn’t look at him, filled with shame for what she had done. ‘Could you get your clothes on first?’

‘You didn’t say that a moment ago!’

She flushed at his angry taunt. ‘Please,’ she said huskily, knowing by the sound of his movements that he was indeed dressing.

‘Now,’ he barked grimly, ‘what the hell is the matter? Talk to me!’

Holly turned to face him, finding him fully dressed now, his expression harsh in his confusion. She knew it was his hurt that was making him angry with her, and yet she could do nothing to help him, was too busy trying to keep herself from falling apart. ‘This—what just happened, it changes nothing between us,"
