Fear Quote by Lisa Marie Rice
““Nick advanced slowly and she backed away. Not out of fear, but out of excitement at the heat in his eyes. She stopped when her back hit the wall and, a second later, Nick's hands slapped against the wall on either side of her head. His head moved down as her eyelids drifted closed. Her head fell back, tipped against the wall. She expected one of his bone-melting kisses, but he stopped just before fitting his mouth to hers. She could feel his hot breath washing over her face. "Hello, gorgeous," he whispered. Charity smiled without opening her eyes. "Hello," she whispered back. "Did you miss me?" Every cell in her body had missed him. "You have no idea." Nick leaned in, pressing his entire body against hers. "Oh yeah," he said softly. "I have an idea.””
