Quotes from Evangeline Anderson

If a passionate celibacy was all he could have with Sophia, well, that was still better than having sex with any other female as far as he was concerned.

The Kindred were a race of alien warriors, humanoid in form but much more massive in scale than the average human male.

It was hard to believe that it had only been a little more than one standard Earth month since he'd first come to claim her. Back then he hadn't been certain he would ever win her over. And now she was his—his forever and Baird never intended to let her go.

So she's going to…to die?" Lock heard the break in his voice but he couldn't help it. Gods, to think they'd killed the woman they loved! Oh Kat, I'm sorry. So very sorry… From his twin he could feel similar emotions to his own. But Deep's sorrow was shaded with a guilt so intense it was almost despair. Again, Lock heard his twin thinking in a rare burst of mental empathy. I've done it again. Gods… "I

Because a mutation in their genes caused their race to be ninety-five percent male, the Kindred had become a space faring race, looking for other planets to inhabit and other humanoid species to trade with. Earth was only the fourth planet in their ten thousand year odyssey to offer a viable trade and they were eager to get started. Of

This was an act of love, pure and simple. And by taking her so slowly and gently, Merrick was wiping away all the earlier, bad memories she had of this act. Wiping them away and replacing them with beautiful memories, feelings of love and trust instead of hurt and terror and betrayal. There was no room for bad emotions here--there was only the bliss of being one with her man and it was the best feeling Elise had ever known.

The obvious pain in her eyes moved him. For a moment he wanted to gather her into his arms and soothe her but he was sure she wouldn't welcome such a gesture.

Liv imagined with horror what it would be like to have sex with a man who could go through the entire micro on shuffle setting without quitting once. Just the thought was enough to send her running—which was why the idea of getting chosen by a Beast Kindred freaked her out completely. Don't they say the Beast Kindred have golden eyes? whispered a small voice in her head. Shut up! Liv told it fiercely. He's just a dream and that's all there is to it. "So

She lost her train of thought abruptly as Baird leaned down and gave her a long, slow lick at the exact spot where her right thigh met her body. Liv moaned as he did the same thing on the other side and then pressed his cheek against the top of her mound and rubbed like a cat. Marking me. He's marking me with his scent, like he said he would.

You know, you may not be able to bake but any man who does laundry is all right in my book." "Don't forget the part where I turn into a big cuddly wolf," I pointed out, grinning at her. "It's not every guy who can do that." "Very true.

From the moment I saw you, I knew I would do anything to have you and I do not care how I achieve my goal. By fair means or foul, you will be mine.

Liv wanted to protest further but she was rapidly losing all power of speech, mainly because Baird was licking and sucking her neck again, his hot tongue tracing a ticklish trail down over her collarbones and sternum. He stopped long enough to rub his rough cheeks over her sensitive nipples, making her jump and gasp, and then trailed lower to nibble and kiss her trembling abdomen. Finally

Who could believe such a thing? That it was better to live a life of constant loneliness and emptiness rather than try to fill the void with someone of an "unacceptable" class or clan? That it was better to be alone than try to find someone to love outside the narrow strata of society my parents approved of?

Olivia, I love you…Need you so much…my life, my mate, my bride… And

He owed her everything—she was the other half of his soul. And he couldn't wait to see her, couldn't wait to hold her close and claim her. How

When I get finished with you, Lilenta, every male within a fifty mile radius will know you're mine." "So

I don't hate you either," Kat said quietly. "I never could—which is what I was trying to tell you before we were interrupted in the viewing room." She stepped forward. "In fact, I…I love both of you. Very much." Tears stung her eyes as two sets of muscular arms enfolded her. "Kat, little Kat," she heard Deep murmur as Lock whispered, "My lady…" into her hair. "I've

A Beast Kindred in the grip of the claiming lust was no one to mess with.

On one hand, she would have bet any amount of money that Lock would behave like a perfect gentleman. On the other, having Deep right behind her was like lying unprotected in the jungle and knowing that a hungry panther was at her back. Still, panicking wasn't going to help anything. Have

softly but clearly, looking into his eyes.

The feel of your skin, the flutter of your pulse when I touch you, the scent of your arousal are all incredibly beautiful and erotic. See yourself for what you are and revel in your beauty.

Sylvan was past any help but that of the Mother of All Life…or Sophia. The human female he carried so tenderly in his arms held the key to healing his heart…or destroying it forever. Baird only hoped she would be gentle. *

Baird leaned back on the couch and sighed. Gods, he'd expected her to try something like this at the beginning of the week when she'd first had her sister send up the bag of revealing clothing. But not now. Not when they'd been getting so close and enjoying each other's company so much. To know that she still wanted to get away from him so badly hurt—hurt like hell. "Bebo,
