Which is why I haven't been with a man before now.\" He as thrown off balance so quickly and completely, he coud hear his own brain stumble. \"Well,that's...that's wise.\" He took one definite step back, like a chessman going from square to square. \"It's interesting that makes you nervous,\" she said, countering his move. \"I'm not nervous,I'm...finished up here, it seems.\" He tried another tactic, stepped to the side. \"Interesting,\" she continued, mirroring his move, \"that it would make you nervous,or uneasy if you prefer, when you've been...I think it's safe to use the term 'hitting on me' since we met.\" \"I don't think that's the proper term at all.\" Since he seemed to be boxed into a corner,he decided he was really only standing his ground. \"I acted in a natural way regarding a physical attraction. But-\" \"And now that I've reacted in a natural way, you've felt the reins slip out of your hands and you're panicked.\" \"I'm certainly not panicked.\" He ignored the terror gripping claws into his belly and concentrated on annoyance. \"Back off, Keeley.\" \"No.\" With her eyes locked on his, she stepped in.Checkmate. His back was hard up against a stall door and he'd been maneuvered there by a woman half his weight.It was mortifying. \"This isn't doing either of us any credit.\" It took a lot of effort when the blood was rapidly draining out of his head, but he made his voice cool and firm. \"The fact is I've rethought the matter.\" \"Have you?\" \"I have,yes,and-stop it,\" he ordered when she ran the palms of her hands up over his chest. \"You're hearts pounding,\" she murmured. \"So's mine.Should I tell you what goes on inside my head,inside my body when you kiss me\" \"No.\" He barely managed a croak this time. \"And it's not going to happen again.\" \"Bet?\" She laughed, rising up just enough to nip his chin. How could she have known how much fun it was to twist a man into aroused knots? \"Why don't you tell me about this rethinking?\" \"I'm not going to take advantage of your-of the situation.\" That,she thought,was wonderfully sweet. \"At the moment,I seem to have the advantage.This time you're trembling,Brian.\" The hell he was.How could he be trembling when he couldn't feel his own legs? \"I won't be responsible.I won't use your inexperience.I won't do this.\" The last was said on a note of desperation and he pushed her aside. \"I'm responsible for myself.And I think I've just proven to both of us,that if and when I decide you'll be the one, you won't have a prayer.\" She drew a deep, satisfied breath. \"Knowing that's incredibly flattering.\" \"Arousing a man doesn't take much skill, Keeley. We're cooperative creatures in that area.\" If he'd expected that to scratch at her pride,and cut into her power,he was mistaken. She only smiled,and the smile was full of secret female knowledge. \"If that was true between us, if that were all that's between us, we'd be naked on the tack room floor right now.\" She saw the change in his eyes and laughed delightedly. \"Already thought of that one, have you? We'll just hold that thought for another time.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Nora Roberts" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/nora-roberts/i-don-t-like-to-make-mistakes-which-is-why-i-haven-t-been-with-a-man/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/367/nora-roberts-128_another-time_i-don-t-like-to-make-mistakes-which-is-w_1583785.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/367/nora-roberts-128_another-time_i-don-t-like-to-make-mistakes-which-is-w_1583785.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/367/nora-roberts-128_another-time_i-don-t-like-to-make-mistakes-which-is-w_1583785.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I don't like to make mistakes.

Now that I know that,you don't bother me at all.\" The stable phone rang,delighting her. Whoever was on the other end not only had perfect timing but they had her gratitude.It gave her great pleasure to see the absolute shock on Brian's face as she walked to the phone. \"Royal Meadows Riding Academy. Would you hold one moment,please.\" With a friendly smile,she laid a hand over the receiver. \"Really,I can finish up here.I'm keeping you from your work.\" \"I'm not a snob,\" he finally managed to say. \"Of course you wouldn't see it that way. Can we discuss this another time? I need to take this call.\" Irked,he shoved the scoop back in the grain. \"I'm not the one wearing bloody diamonds in my ears,\" he muttered as he stalked out.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Nora Roberts" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/nora-roberts/that-s-how-the-world-works-doesn-t-it-that-s-how-it-can-work-you-re/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ab6/nora-roberts-128_another-time_that-s-how-the-world-works-doesn-t-it-th_2727967.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ab6/nora-roberts-128_another-time_that-s-how-the-world-works-doesn-t-it-th_2727967.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ab6/nora-roberts-128_another-time_that-s-how-the-world-works-doesn-t-it-th_2727967.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“That's how the world works, doesn't it?\" \"That's how it can work.
