"At least this way he could self-destruct without witnesses, without pity. Without seeing that look in her eyes, the love turned to resentment." - I believe I have just found the sentiment that has controlled Marcus's every thought for years.

Ah hah! I knew it! I'm surprised that Stephen was able to get someone to learn his secret so easily though.

"And she didn't know what say when he had shut her out so completely. There was no rational argument, because whatever was behind this was driven by emotion. Something wholly uncharacteristic for Marcus, who tended toward strategic, rational thinking."

"Her favorite golden comb clattered to the floor. He wondered if he could kick it under the bed, to keep it for later."

My, my. He seems like quite the badass!

Mmmm, looks like Isabella is becoming dissatisfied with the status quo. Good, I'm ready for her to stop settling for crumbs.

"She loved him. They had just shared an earth shattering experience. And she could have cried." - Awwwww.

"She looked as if she had experienced half an orgasm. One only on her left side." - LOL!

Oh, Marcus. *shakes head* My faith in you (and your intelligence) has been shaken.

"You don't usually. Generally you are unnaturally still. But when you reenter a room, occasionally you make last minute adjustments. What I've never reasoned out is whether you are meeting women or men." He stopped dead, forward motion forgotten. "Pardon me?" - LOL. It's sad when you find out you're not as slick as you thought.
