"Before our sister swoons any further." Montgomery sighed and said something to Jake. Jake replied, haltingly. Montgomery looked at Amanda.

It wasn’t precisely a roar, but it was close. “What are you doing?” a voice thundered from their left. Miach stepped away from Morgan in spite of himself.

"I vow it." He swung her up in his arms before she knew what he intended. She managed to keep her sketchbook from sliding south. "no pizza?" Zachary asked.

How was it a child of no more than thirteen summers could leave a grown man wanting to weep? He put his shoulders back, walked around the bed and leaned down to kiss her gently.

"More offten than either of us would like to think about,"Victoria siad with a sigh.She linked arms with Jennifer."I have to tell you,this feels a little surreal." "A little?' Jennifer echoed. "Vic, we're sitting in Artane's lists in 1229 no less,watching your fourteenth-century scottish laird of a husband and my thirteenth-century medieval lord of a fiance hack at each other with very sharp swords. Of course its going to feel a little surreal!" Vic leaned her head back against the wall and smiled. "I'm going to miss you." "You might not," Jennifer said,striving for a light tone.

"I'll protect my heart as well," she said solemnly. Robin's jaw went slack, then he laughed. He started up the stairs and clapped Nicholas on the shoulder on his way by. "You, brother, have met your match in that one." Jennifer rose and turned. "Robin?" Robin stopped and looked at her. "My lady?" "I'll protect his heart as well." - When I Fall In Love p.195 (posted by LaFawn) Elizabeth woke to the ringing of the phone. Oh no, not the phone. She reached for Jamie, just to make sure she hadn't dreamed him, then sighed in relief. Then she sat up, bleary eyed and tried to get out of bed. "Stay," Jamie hissed pushing her down. " I will see to this." "Jamie, it's the phone. The noise means someone's trying to call you." He grasped his sword and approached the phone stealthily. If Elizabeth hadn't know he would have been terribly offended, she would have burst out laughing at the adorable picture he made.

Fairy Godmother Wands. - When i fall in love p.44 (posted by kitten_nicole) His shoulders were impossibly broad and she was vaguely disappointed that she'd bought him an extra-large tee-shirt. 'Should have picked up that medium,' she thought with regret. It wouldn't have been as good as a wet tee shirt, but she wouldn't have quibbled. All in all, Ian MacLeod was the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on in the whole of her twenty-nine years. Something nagged at her, but she soved it aside in favour of more lusting. She looked lower and saw that his jeans hugged him most securely--and then it hit her what was so dreadfully wrong with the picture. He was wearing boxer shorts. On the outside of his jeans. - Love Came Just in Time (And the Groom Wore Tulle) p.200 (posted by Brynn) Harold needed an adventure... Now, if he had been a man of five-and-twenty, well-armored, well-horsed, and well-trained in the arts of war, he might have commanded the adventure himself.

"Will we have a child now?" (Gillian asked) He smiled against her neck. "Soon enough, I'll warrant." "I thought as much. Even though we were wearing most of our clothing."

"And, there was to be more moaning from both of us." - This Is All I Ask p.232 (posted by Megyu) "My lady," Kendrick said, quietly, "the gift of your smile is one I will treasure always." Gillian put her hand on his arm and felt quite at ease. "Why my lord," she said, touched by his gallantry, "you are indeed a very sweet boy." "Boy?" Kendrick repeated. He suddenly went very red in the face. Phillip shouted with laughter from behind them. Gillian looked behind her to see Artane's heir doubled over, guffawing. She looked back at Kendrick, almost curious enough to ask what had tickled his brother so. But before she could speak, Kendrick made her a low bow. "My lady, I have a small matter to see to. If you might take a few steps away, then wait for me? I will be at liberty to escort you very soon." Gillian nodded and walked several paces away. Phillip's laughter ceased abruptly. She turned to determine what had become of him, but all she could see was a very great cloud of dust. Ah, a display of brotherly affection. But such a violent one! - This Is All I Ask p.298 (posted by Megymu) Gillian fought her smile as Christopher purposefully stepped on Phillip on his way to the table.

He looked at her and shrugged again. "I did it to make amends, I suppose." She smiled. It was like sunshine after a fierce storm. Jamie congratulated himself silently. An apology was a small price to pay for this. "But what will you do with your prisoners?" she asked. "Have you guard them with your dirk, I suppose." She laughed softly. "Oh Jamie.

She might have asked him if he thought they would get to keep the horse they'd been riding, and if they could take the Fergusson gelding as well to tie Bentley to. She could have even speculated about the possibilities of finding themselves in a nest of Fergussons once they left the keep and if Patrick thought she would be an asset or a liability. But that wasn't what she asked. "Do you," she asked, "speak any Latin?" He went still, then slid his hand up into her hair and kissed her. "Amo, amas, amat," he began. He paused. "Amamus." We love. She looked into his eyes. "Then you understood--" "I did." "And you--" "Aye," he said, leaning down to kiss her. "Aye to it all," he breathed against her mouth. "Aye to it all." - A Garden in the Rain p.350 (posted by PG) Genevieve felt, rather that hears, him move. She soon found herself staring at thick, heavy thighs on a pair of long legs that put his groin about level with her nose. He had obviously opted for comfort that night, because he was out of armor and into faded demin. She hastily forced her eyes up past his slim hips, past the waistband of his jeans, then took in the view of his sweatshirt. Her blood pressure rose several notches. The sweatshirt was black, a bit on the ratty side, and emblazoned with the words "Death to the Buchanans." "how clever," she said weakly. He grunted. - Stardust of Yesterday p.53 (posted by Mimi) He leaned over her with the seat belt. She thought she might faint. "Breathe," he said, not looking up as he fastened it. "Tailbone pain." He looked at her and smiled, a wry curling of his mouth. "Sure." "You don't affect me," she lied. "Don't I?

There was no answer. But after a moment or two, there was a hand, thrust out of the darkness towards her. No comment. No invitation. Just a hand. Ali honestly couldn't tell if she would be placing herself in a hand that would subsequently stragle her or merely help her down the stairs. Damn him, she been fretting over his reaction for years and now all he could do was hold out his bloody hand? As if there were nothing amiss with it! But the hand was empty. No knife, no sword, no bottle of poison. A safe hand, if you didn't think about whom it was attached to. A hand a girl might easily put her hand into, under different circumstances. - From This Moment On p.301 (posted by dragonlady) " 'Well," Robin said slowly, 'she has more courage than any bruised and bloodied lout I've ever fought with. She's braved her own demons and come away the victor, time and time again. Aye,' he said, sounding more enthusiastic, 'the courage of half a score of the most sliced, bludgeoned and maimed men I've had the pleasure of hoisting a sword with--' 'My lord, you cannot sing of bloody battles and your lady in the same breath.' 'Why not?' Robin demanded. 'Bravery's nothing to scorn, man. I daresay you could think of worse souls to guard your back than my Anne.' My Anne. Anne blinked back tears. It was the most unpolished verse she'd ever listened to and she'd even heard a lay or two composed about her own poor self. But it was without doubt the most moving. 'Her eyes, my lord,' Geoffrey pleaded. 'Say something about her eyes.' 'Well, she has two--' 'The color!' Geoffrey exclaimed. 'Praise the color! Compare it to beryls, seacoasts, rare and exquisite jewels. Use your imagination!' There was silence for a goodly amount of time--time during which Anne wondered if Robin was reaching for his blade. Then he cleared his throat. 'Her eyes...' he began slowly, 'well, the color of her eyes is akin to...hmmm...' he trailed off and there was a bit more silence, then a foot stomped in triumph. 'Akin to sage, aye, sage after it's sat in the sun too long.' There was a slap and Anne could only assume it was Geoffrey clapping his hand to his own forehead. Aye, that was definitely a groan and it was not coming from her husband." - If I Had You p.325-326 "One of us is mad," he growled, "and I had thought 'twas you." - The More I See You p.97 (posted by Katie) "You want my Land?"

And now she had that look turned on her. But she had the feeling it had nothing to do with retribution. Then he cleared his throat. "Did I," he began, "but begin to kiss you, Alienore of Solonge, I daresay I wouldn't be able to stop." - From this Moment On p.343 (posted by Sharon ) Richard sighed heavily. "What dolt?" "You love her very much, don't you?" Richard couldn't have been taken more off guard if Kendrick had plowed his fist into his belly. "By the saints, nay," he gasped.

He took himself down to the lists, where men were men and did things he could understand. Sir Hamlet had half the garrison on their knees with the hands over their hearts practicing their looks of longing. Richard thought he just might scream. - The More I See You p.156 (posted by Katrina) The air was thick with stratagem. The two combatants leaned forward, each looking to have the advantage. They circled, paused to consider, then struck again, seeking constantly to best the other so thoroughly that the only honorable escape was death. Amanda watched Miles and Jake face each other over her father's chessboard and wondered who would emerge the victor. - Dreams of Stardust p.137 (posted by Amanda) "That wasn't a very long sentence," Patrick ventured. "It was a long list of very foul names." He looked at his wife." Really, Madelyn, perhaps-" "And you," she said, gasping, with tears streaming down her face, "You-" The list was even longer. it was in Gaelic. He decided that he woulf perhaps have to have a word with Robert MacLeod. Too many foul words had been taught to his wife for his comfort. If she would just throw in a few nice ones, he would feel a great deal better. He'd heard stories about the joy of childbirth, the overwhelming nature of the experience, the bonding that occurred between husband and wife. In reality, it looked like a lot of work to him, - A Garden in the Rain p.419 (posted by Laurissa Demijohn) "Eight hundred years from now, my lord, Artane still stands." Rhys smiled faintly. "Does it now?" "Yes. And your descendants still inhabit it." Rhys's eyes were suddenly quite moist. Hi looked around his own study, then put his hands on his desk for a moment or two before he cleared his throat roughly. "You should go fetch your lady," he said, his voice hoarse. "Before she wears a trench in my floor that will leave my posterity stumbling centuries from now." - Dreams of Stardust p.353-354 (posted by some_random_username) "...And I would hear more of this other talk.

(said Abby) Miles looked at her solemnly. "Just what about me doesn't suit? My visage? 'Tis too ugly to be gazed at for the rest of your life?" He flexed an arm for her benefit. "Too scrawny? Too frail? Here, come sniff me." She leaned close, then wrinkled her nose. "All right, so you don't smell too great. What have you been doing?" "I've been riding hard since midday yesterday. Now, in what other thing do I fail?" "You dress better than I do. A very important issue with me." Miles plunked a small, jangly bag in her lap. "Hire a seamstress. Anything else?" ... "I want it all," she said quietly. "Kids, a garden, Christmas." She cleared her throat. "And a husband who loves me." "And I would not?" he asked... He took her hand in both of his. "I want you, Abby, in my life and in my bed. I vaw always to smell more poorly than you. I give you my solemn word that you will always have the majority of garments in our trunk." He lifted his hand and touched her cheek. "I want to give you what you want, Abby. I want to give you a home and a family." She looked at him. it was hard, but she made herslef look at him and ask about what meant the most to her. "And what about love? Between us?" He smiled, and the tenderness of it went straight to her heart... - "The Gift of Christmas Past" - Love Came Just In Time p.67 "'You won't miss the sea, will you?' he asked. 'You know I won't.' She shrugged lightly. 'Though now I think I would be happy wherever I was.' 'Would you? Why?' 'Because I've found a home,' she said, looking at him with a gentle smile. 'With you.' Colin found himself quite suddenly rubbing at his eyes. 'Dirt,' he said gruffly. 'Damned bit of fluff flew right into my eyes. I'm fortunate I wasn't rendered sightless by the enormous quantity.' She laughed." - From This Moment On p.398 hc (posted by Kelandavf) "fairest lady,i saw you walking along the shore and i trow my heart stopped within me,my mind seized upon your loveliness as if upon an elusive dream and i could do nothing but stop and plead for your name that i might ever carry it in my heart" he blinked,then a look of complete consternation came over his features,as if he could scarce believe the words had come from his mouth "by the saints" he said in amazement "i've been corrupted by peacocks!" anne laughed before she could stop herself.he scowled "ah,a saucy wench,i see.mayhap you do not realize who you are laughing at."

She was going to refuse, but she made the mistake of looking into his eyes. And somehow, he worked his fey spell upon her yet again, and she found herself rising ans sitting in the chair next to him. Or mayhap it wasn't a spell. Mayhaps 'twas that she wanted already in her heart to do what he'd merely asked her to do. Mayhap 'twas that she wanted with all her poor heart to do nothing but sit and have speech with a man whose beauty stole her breath, whose kindness brought tears to her eyes, and whose tenderness broke her heart. So she sat and she told him all he wanted to hear. And when he told her of Edinburgh's marvels, and his eyes began to close, she sat and watched him dream. And then she was truly lost." - My Heart Stood Still p.173 Joshua had opened with a Beatles' lyric and Baldric had countered with "Two, four, six, eight, Who do we all love to hate?

It was going to be a very long night. Gillian snuggled more deeply in the warmth of the blanket. "Berengaria?" she whispered. "Did you put another blanket over me?" "Who is Berengaria?" The deep voice startled her, then she remembered there had been none others about her but the three women. "Why, you're the woman who found me and helped me. You're changing your voice like that in jest, aren't you?" She smiled, in appreciation of hte humor. "My thanks fo rthe covering. It feels as if it has been warmed near the fire." "Ah," the voice stammered, and then coughed, "Er, I am pleased you're soothed," it said, sounding very raspy in its high tone. - This is All I Ask p.124-125 (posted by Judy) "Very well," he said gruffly, taking Alienore by the hand again and starting toward the hall.

She refrained from remarking about the bloody knee that showed through his torn hose. After all, the lad did pride himself on his tidiness...She looked over to see Kendrick limping alongside her. He seemed quite incapable of standing up all the way, but he held out his dusty sleeve just the same. "Take it, I beg you," he wheezed. - This Is All I Ask p.300/301 (posted by Nancy) The rain began after only a few moments and continued without abatement until she [Alienore] could scarce see for the volume of it. "A light mist," Colin shouted. He was shouting, of course, to make himself heard over the thunderous sound of rain beating against the earth. - From This Moment On p.320 (posted by Courtney) Then the man turned back to them and held open his arms wide so they could admire his clothing. Gone were Hugh McKinnon's manly plaid and rugged boots. Gone were the well-wrought saffron shirt, the sword buckled around his waist, and the cap tilted with a goodly amount of jauntiness atop his head. In its place were mouse ears, a red shirt, suspenders, blue trews, and, the most appalling of all, a tail. - My Heart Stood Still p.25 (posted by Kelly Hohenstern) A lifetime later, she realized that that first bit of passion was all the foreplay she was going to get.

"I'm not worried for myself. The babe, however--" Then she realized what she'd blurted out. She looked quickly up at him to see that he had paled several shades beyond the normal paling he did when faced wtih such heights. He teetered. He swayed. And then he fainted. But it was gracefully done, she had to admit, as she made no attemp to stop him from swooning right onto the landing. he lay there, a large, formidable man who had been felled by the thought of the smallest, most helpless thing imaginable. She smiled and sad down next to him to wait for him to awake.-----Alienore - From This Moment On p.410 (posted by ~Megan~) "My love, you have your castle of dreams. Here, beneath your feet. And you have your knight. If he pleases you." ... "Shall I slay your dragons for you, my lady?" -- Kendrick - Stardust of Yesterday p.130 (posted by Susannah) By the saints, the boy was a girl. Colin spared a brief moment for a sigh of relief that his instincts had not failed him. He'd been lusting after a girl after all.

The rental car company hadn't been at all pleased with the condition of the driver's seat. - Stardust of Yesterday p.69 (posted by Kristina ) "Rob, you just admitted to loving her, then you denied it. Is it any wonder Anne's frightened witless of letting you close to her? How would you feel if she told you she loved you, then immediately made light of it?" He put his hand on Robin's shoulder and shook him gently. "Don't be a fool, Robin. You love her and she loves you. Somewhere, deep in that hidden heart of yours is a place she needs to see. I don't expect any of the rest of us will ever see it, but Anne deserves to. Be as gruff as you like with her in public, but don't do it in private." He rose and looked down at Robin. "She's far less likely to hurt you than you are to hurt her. I'd certainly trust her with my heart."--Nicholas - If I Had You p.231 (posted by Michelle the Merry) And behind him, looking as harmless as a clutch of nettles, scowled his younger brother. He glanced at her, then suddenly and quite violently sneezed all over his brother's back. - Tapestry p.31 "Will you come see?" He swayed, swayed a bit more, and then fell to the floor with a mighty crash. - From This Moment On p.416 She stared at him, wondering if she wasn't seeing for the first time the man he'd been for a good part of his life, the medieval clansman he always wore buried beneath black jeans and cashmere sweaters. -- A Garden in the Rain She had wanted to come to the Highlands for years. She'd wanted to touch the stones with her own hands, to roam the land on her own two feet and imagine who might have walked there before her, see the lochs and mountains with her own eyes and envy those who called them home. -- A Garden in the Rain. Patrick didn't want this. He didn't want any kind of connection with a woman he didn't know and was certain he wouldn't like if he did. She wasn't his type. He preferred casual clothes, casual women, casual entanglements that went no farther than his heart could bear--not that he'd had any of those in quite some time, but his standards hadn't changed. He made the grave mistake of looking her in the eyes again. The jolt that went through him startled him so badly, he stumbled backwards. With skill and grace even Baryshnikov would have admired, he avoided landed fully upon his arse, but it was a near thing. Colin quickened his pace until he stood directly before his betrothed. "My lady," he began. She stood, her eyes rolled back in her head, and then she fell over backward, over the arm of the chair and onto the floor in a flurry of skirts and legs. Colin sighed. Would the nightmare never end? -- From this moment on. Right. She was dreaming. Wow, what an imagination she had. She envisioned a self-help book in her future entitled Sugar and Historical Research-Never Take them together. -- A Dance Through Time (from Lisa) "Let me tell you why we cannot be friends," Rhys said. "We cannot because I have spent every day of the past two years on fire for you. I have clasped my hands hard enough behind my back to draw blood and leave scars, all in an effort not to touch you...I cannot remain here one more hour when all I am allowed is to look at you." - Another Chance to Dream (Samantha) Damn that woman!" - Richard. The More I See you (Jocelin) "I loved you the moment I first clapped eyes on you-" Robin said. "When you put a worm down my gown-" interrupted Anne. "And every moment since," he finished with a smile. "Even when you didn't?" she asked gently. "Every moment since," he repeated. "Especially during the moments in which I tried to convince myself I didn't. But I knew in my heart that my life would only be sweet if i had but one thing." "One thing?" He nodded. "If I had you" He tucked her hair behind her ears. "Not a day passed that you didn't consume my thoughts, neither a night pass in which you did not haunt my dreams". "I wish I had known," she said wistfully "Well, you know now," he said, "and if you'll give me time, I'll remind you every day from this moment on". --If I Had You (BZ) There are 158 quotes on this page.
