So you could trust your mate to take care of herself and help, damn it, instead of having to protect me from whatever you are hiding.” She hated crying. Tears were weaknesses that could be exploited and they never solved a damned thing. Sobs gathered in her chest like a rushing tide and she needed to get away from him before she broke. Instead of fighting his grip, she tried to slide out of it. “I need to go,” she said to his chest. “I need–” His mouth closed over hers, hot and hungry, warming her mouth as his body warmed her body. “Me,” Charles said, his voice dark and gravelly as if it had traveled up from the bottom of the earth, his eyes a bright gold. “You need me.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Patricia Briggs" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/patricia-briggs/then-he-snarled-at-her-you-are-not-leaving-me-it-was-an-order-and-she/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/366/patricia-briggs-571_crying-tears_then-he-snarled-at-her-you-are-not-leavi_492376.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/366/patricia-briggs-571_crying-tears_then-he-snarled-at-her-you-are-not-leavi_492376.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/366/patricia-briggs-571_crying-tears_then-he-snarled-at-her-you-are-not-leavi_492376.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Then he snarled at her. “You are not leaving me.” It was an order, and she didn’t have to follow anyone’s…” — Patricia Briggs", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 21, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“I thought you were dead,\" he said, his voice a bare rasp while Samual moved from his hands to his feet. It didn't seem to hurt as much—at a guess there weren't a lot of nerves left. He jumped into a burning building barefoot to save me. \"Stupid,\" I said, blinking hard. \"As if I'd die without taking you with me.\" He smiled faintly. \"Was it Mary Jo who betrayed us at the bowling alley? \" he asked, proven he hadn't been entirely unaware of what had been going on while he was changing. Both of us ignore the pained sound Mary Jo made. \"I'll ask her later.\" He nodded. \"Better—\" He quit talking, and his pupils contracted despite the morphine he'd been giving. He arched up and twisted so he could press his face into my belly, making a noise somewhere between a screem and a growel. I held him there well Samual snared at Ben and Mary Jo to hold him still. Another shot of morphine, and Samuel moved us all around. Ben across Adams legs— \"And don't think I haven't noticed your hands, Ben. You're next up.\" Mary Jo on one arm, just above the elbow. Me on the other. \"Can you hold him?\" asked Samuel. \"Not if he doesn't want me to,\" I told him. \"It'll be alright,\" Adam said. \"I won't hurt her.\" Samuel smiled tightly. \"No, I didn't think you would.\" When Samuel started on Adams face with the brush, I had to close my eyes. \"Shh,\" Adam comforted me. \"It'll be over soon.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Patricia Briggs" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/patricia-briggs/i-thought-you-were-dead-he-said-his-voice-a-bare-rasp-while-samual/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/403/patricia-briggs-571_betrayed_i-thought-you-were-dead-he-said-his-voic_1247296.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/403/patricia-briggs-571_betrayed_i-thought-you-were-dead-he-said-his-voic_1247296.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/403/patricia-briggs-571_betrayed_i-thought-you-were-dead-he-said-his-voic_1247296.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I thought you were dead,\" he said, his voice a bare rasp while Samual moved from his hands to his feet.

But I think that you deserved this, and I'm very happy for you.” She leaned forward and kissed my cheek. Then she whispered, “He is really, really a hottie. How did you mange that?” “Brat,” I told her, and gave her a hug. “Todd’s not exactly chopped liver.” She smiled smugly and took another sip. “No he’s not.” “He could be,” said Ben from behind me, his British accent giving him a civilized air that he didn’t deserve. “Do you want him to be chopped liver, darling?” I turned, making sure I was between Ben and Nan, “My sisters are off-limits,” I reminded him. A flash of hurt came and went on his face. With Ben, it was even odds whether the emotion was genuine or not -but my instincts told me they had been. So I continued in a mock-chiding tone, “Ruthie is too young for you, and Nan is married to a very nice man. So be good.” Nan had caught the flash of hurt, too, I thought. She was softer than our mother, more like her father in temperament as well as looks. She couldn’t stand to have anyone hurting and not do anything about it. She sighed dramatically. “All the pretty men, and I’m tied to just one.” Ben smiled at her. “Anytime you want to change that…” I poked him in the side-he could have slipped out of the way, but he didn’t bother. “Okay,” he said, backing away with exaggerated fear. “Ill be good, I promise. Just don’t hurt me again.” He was loud enough that all the people around us looked at us. Adam pushed his way through the pack and ruffled Ben’s hair as he went by him. “Behave Ben.” The Ben I’d first met would have snarled and pulled away from the affectionate scold.

I hadn’t expected it—not while he was still so close to changing. I’m sure that’s why I didn’t pull out of his hold. The first touch of his lips was soft, tentative, asking where his hands had demanded. The man was diabolical. I could have resisted force, but the question of his kiss was an entirely different matter. I leaned into him because he asked with the light touch and the gentle withdrawal of his lips that begged me to follow where he led. The heat of his body, welcome in the over-cooled house, rewarded me as I leaned closer to him, as did the hard planes of his body, so I was drawn to press even tighter against him. He danced like that, too. Leading instead of pulling. It had to have been deliberate, something he worked at, because he was as dominant as they came—Alphas are. But Adam was more than just dominant: he was smart, too. And he didn’t play fair. Which is how he ended up against the wall with me plastered all over him when someone . . . Darryl, quietly cleared his throat. I jerked free and hopped back to the middle of the hallway. “I’ll just get Jesse’s clothes now,” I told the carpet on the floor and then took my red face into Jesse’s room and shut the door. I didn’t mind getting caught kissing, but that had been a lot more carnal than a kiss. Sometimes good hearing isn’t a blessing. “Sorry,” Daryl said, though his voice carried more amusement than apology. “I bet,” growled Adam. “Damn it. This has got to stop.” Darryl gave a full-throated laugh that lasted quite a while. I’d never heard him laugh like that. Darryl was pretty uptight usually. “Sorry,” he said again, sounding more apologetic this time. “Looked to me like you’d rather it not stop.” “Yeah.” Adam sounded tired. “I should have gone after her a long time ago.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Patricia Briggs" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/patricia-briggs/he-took-two-quick-steps-forward-wrapped-a-hand-around-the-back-of-my/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2d3/patricia-briggs-571_gaze_he-took-two-quick-steps-forward-wrapped_2069436.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2d3/patricia-briggs-571_gaze_he-took-two-quick-steps-forward-wrapped_2069436.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2d3/patricia-briggs-571_gaze_he-took-two-quick-steps-forward-wrapped_2069436.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“He took two quick steps forward, wrapped a hand around the back of my neck, and held me for his kiss.
