Derek's breath touched Sara's throat in unsteady urges. "Sometimes, " he whispered, "I'm so close to you .. and I'm still not close enough. I want to share your breath .. every beat of your heart." He cradled her head in both his hands, his mouth hot on her neck. "Sometimes, " he murmured, "I want to punish you a little."" Why?"" For making me want you until I ache with it. For the way I wake at night just to watch you sleeping." His face was intense and passionate above her, his green eyes sharp in their brightness. "I want you more each time I'm with you. It's a fever that never leaves me. I can't be alone without wondering where you are, when I can have you again." His lips possessed hers in a kiss that was both savage and tender, and she opened to him eagerly. .Lisa Kleypas
About This Quote
"Sometimes I'm so close to you ... and I'm still not close enough. I want to share your breath ... every beat of your heart." Derek is saying that he wants her to be his fiancé, but he wants to take it slow because he doesn't want to pressure her into anything.
He wants them to be together and he knows that he is going to lose her if he keeps pushing for more than she is ready for. He also wants her, and she is probably saying that she doesn't want him because of the distance that they live. She doesn't want him around all the time and she knows that if she was with him all the time he would be pressuring her for more than she is ready for.
