Don’t call me babe. I’m not a floozy. Or a freaking talking pig.Katee Robert

The guy in bed with her was not Nathan. Which meant Elle was buck-naked and wantonly riding the wrong guy.Katee Robert

Sweetheart, I’ve been there with you through all of it. I was the one who camped out with you in that old tree house for days on end and held you after your mom died. It was me who sat with you while we waited for your sister to come out of the surgery that cut out her cancer. I was the one holding your hand while we waited for those test results to come back, and I was the one who supplied the alcohol to get you drunk, and the shoulder to cry on while you processed it. I understand. You don’t have to do this alone.Katee Robert

Is that a baton in your pocket, officer, or are you just happy to see me?Katee Robert
5
Tonight isn’t for the baby. This is just you and me.Katee Robert

She never thought she'd be into sex that was so overwhelming and desperate, but after that night on the dining room table she started eyeing his furniture in a whole new way. Would he take her on the couch in the formal living room? Or how about the kitchen counter? Maybe his wonderful shower with no less than three showerheads? It made her hot all over just thinking about it.Katee Robert

Right now, all he wanted was to get her to take that first step. "I'm not going to tattoo my name on your ass. I'm asking you to be my girlfriend.Katee Robert
8
She looks like a mop."" And this is exactly the problem." She waved at his entire body. "You can't even stop yourself from insulting an innocent animal. How am I supposed to get you ready for decent company?"...." For your information, Gollum in a komondor. They're a breed with bold and majestic history."" A history of cleaning floors?Katee Robert
9
What does successfully matching me have to do with a damn dog?"" Gollum will make you more approachable. You need that--- desperately."" There's not a damn thing approachable about that beast."" Something you have in common.Katee Robert
10
So let me get this straight. You have no hobbies. You don't care what this woman looks like as long as she can "doll herself up" and entertain herself and pop out a few babies for you?" His gray eyes gave away nothing, but she again had the sneaking suspicion that he was testing her." That sounds about right.Katee Robert
11
And here I thought I'd get by on my charm and good looks."" That'll get you a first date. It won't get you a second one with anyone who'd be suitable." When he laughed, she look up from her notes. Holy hell, the man had laugh lines to rival his little brother's. Then what he'd said hit her. "My God, did you just make a joke?"" It's been known to happen.Katee Robert
12
The man was great, but no man was great enough to sever a friendship between her and one of her girls. Chicks before dicks, and all that.Katee Robert
13
He released her arm and crossed his own over his chest. "I'm trying not to jump to conclusions. Spit it out."" I'm more of a swallowing kind of a girl." Holy hell.Katee Robert
14
Woman you’re as mean as a copperhead. Come here let’s find out if you’re as cold-blooded.Katee Robert
15
It's okay if you're intimidated by my overwhelming masculinity. I promise to take good care of you."" How sweet of you. But let's be honest. I'd ruin you for other women, and I'm just too nice to do that to an adorable thing like you.Katee Robert
16
I bet you don't hear no a lot."" It's a dirty word. I'm not a fan of it.Katee Robert
17
Well darlin’, I fuck who I want to. And right now that’s you.Katee Robert
18
A Short Southern Screw? So I was right. You're craving something south ot the Mason-Dixon Line."He moved closer, crowding her even though there was still a good twelve inches between them." I can assure you, though, I'm a man who isn't short in any sense of the word.Katee Robert
