It was deeper, beyond the physical joining, the sense of being one.
The sense of being protected, safe, floated through her.
Deidre had the sense of being late to a conversation.
His pointed teeth rested on his lower lip, his dark eyes displaying the intelligence of a being that existed from the time-before-time.
He'd never thought of being locked out of the underworld as an advantage, but the soul Darkyn wanted wasn't likely one of those in the lakes on the mortal world.
You remember being born here and everything?
I don't remember being born, but I mean, I grew up in Indiana and moved to Atlanta for college and stayed after I graduated.
Tell me what happened that made you walk out on being a doctor.
Being alone meant she started thinking again, something she didn't want to do.
Who's to say there aren't genetic variations that lend people to being different? he asked, shrugging.
Very honorable of you to give her a choice of being with you after how she treated you all those years.
Furious at the idea, Gabe began to wonder how the reincarnated Deidre made it this far without being slaughtered by one of her many enemies.
The only one who seemed willing to talk to her before being shushed by Daniela was Rhyn.
Normal kids didn't ask about the underworld or being human.
Being Immortal, that meant pretty much forever.
It made more sense than Wynn being hit by Gabe.
She couldn't remember seeing his chiseled features in full light without being drunk or terrified.
She stopped a dozen meters before the edge of the forest, wondering if there was any sort of hazard in being so close to whatever it was causing the lake to be green in the first place.
He was loyal, if concerned about being trapped on the mortal plane.
Gabe waited a few minutes for the assassin being replaced to appear.
As nonchalant as Wynn was being about it, he knew what it meant.
He didn't like not being self-reliant.
There was no way of knowing whose souls had crossed over to the mortal world, but he was going to trust that Fate was on his side, for the time being.
She loved being in his arms, as much as she hated him right now!
He wasn't really sure Rhyn would consider being sentenced to eternity with a mate much of an improvement over Hell.
Rhyn was being given a second chance, and Gabriel hoped he killed Sasha before the sands in the hourglass were gone.
At least he wasn't burning or drowning or freezing or watching his skin being pulled from his body and screaming.
His body contorted, and agony floated through him as the sixty seconds of being whatever he'd been was up and he changed again.
She hadn't been able to shake the cold she felt and was dressed in layers despite the thermostat being set to eighty.
Being underground meant he was a much harder target to hit, yet despite his attempts to convince his brother to act likewise, he'd not yet succeeded.
Despite being brothers, neither approved of what the other did.
Everywhere you work, you're recognized for being the brilliant person I know you are.
Any thought she had at Andre's apartment not being the target fled as she saw the damage done to her side of the building.
She'd been terrified since being told she had amnesia, but she'd stayed strong.
She needed more rope to reach the top of the cliff, yet being dinner for any creature wasn't the way she'd like to go.
Like being a mortal blood monkey is soooooooo far above lunchmeat!
She heard the kid scream and hunched her shoulders, nearly vomiting at the sounds of his body being torn apart.
What's so significant about being his mate?
He wiped his face, and she sensed again he was unaccustomed to being challenged.
She frowned at the thought of Rhyn being gone all the time but was glad Jade would be with them and not around to try to drag her back to Sasha.
He didn't know a thing about being a mate.
She made it to the sand before being forced to slow to a walk by the ankle-deep, loose sand.
Her blood was already on fire from their bodies being pressed together, and heat pooled in the base of her belly.
He'd gone from being tormented by his own mother to the affection of an abusive father who regretted ever having him.
Her nightmares that night involved her sister, Hannah, being eaten by the jaguar with the white patch over his eye.
The house was too quiet for her comfort, and she felt the familiar sense of being watched.
She didn.t remember him being so tall in Hell, but she.d been afraid to look too hard at him when she passed his cell.
It was dawn, and she breathed a sigh of relief at being safe.
I planned on going to Seychelles to escape the east coast cold, but Gio said being invited here was an honor.
That didn.t stop her from being angry at the man who would dump her sister off to deal with the hell she.d gone through.
Do you ever think we.re better off not being together?
It ain.t easy being a good demon.
Even so, Rhyn.s flaws stemmed from his nature of being a half-demon.
Then there were the rules their father had created about none of the brothers being permitted to kill the others, with the exception of Andre, whose sole purpose in life was to keep the Council on track and protect them.
If Sasha was telling the truth, the chances of her being alive weren.t good.
Yes, but I have to object to Immortal business being carried out in the Sanctuary.
I'm not going on blind dates or being hooked up with hairy alpha males.
Kiera had suspected Romas to be independently wealthy by his complete lack of concern for being anywhere but with Evelyn for the last three months.
As in, there are the two of you being lovey-dovey and happy, and me hanging out by the bushes.
They seemed to be moving very slowly for being on a spaceship, she mused.
The idea of being stuck on some strange planet made her want to panic and run screaming for the first spaceship she found.
He relaxed and tested the muscles of his arm again, dissatisfied with being injured.
I'm having some problems with messages being intercepted after they leave the planet.
Being so close rattled her senses, and she thought again of the kiss they had shared over a month before.
She awaited some sort of reprimand, already wounded by the thought of being publicly embarrassed.
A'Ran crossed his arms, more hesitant to consider his second in command-- and closest friend-- being a traitor now that his sister was involved with Ne'Rin.
With there being no current battle, there was nothing to test her.
Talal's assessment of there being something wrong returned to her.
His own messengers brought him vague news of unrest from the battlefront and news of there being new opponents at the battle.
She'd wanted to see if he was capable of being anything more than the cold, distant warrior obsessed with war.
He hadn't set foot on the planet since being made the dhjan upon his father's death.
She couldn't let her sense of hope seize her for fear of being devastated.
After a century, electricity was still being generated.
Then he added, "I should know, being as I'm in the business, so to speak."
They just suspected she might have lived here, Ouray being a small town and all.
The second earliest dated letter expressed sorrow that the wedding could not take place in Boston and a gift was being shipped separately.
Perhaps being out here in the mountains would take your mind off all the troubles you're having.
He nodded in agreement and she continued, Being a flannel gal is nice, too.
Thanks for being 'a bit misleading.'
He mentioned the term kidnapping, but of course being the saint he is he wouldn't press charges against his wife who according to him was just temporarily disturbed.
She didn't even mention being too late to take him to dinner.
I think it's great being active even after you've got a few grey hairs.
But when I met her, the boy wasn't even with her and she laid this soap opera story on me about leaving Shipton and being pregnant.
It was most unkind of you to cruelly diagnose him otherwise and accuse him of being a thief.
By the time the group stopped for lunch—two large five-cheese pizzas at Big Billie's—Donnie had progressed to the point of being able to ski alone from the top of the beginner slope.
While Dean had no desire to participate in the new and perilous sport of ice climbing, he didn't share Cynthia total perplexity at why a sane human being would even consider subjecting himself or herself to such uncomfortable danger.
Dean, crossing his fingers at being on a roll, decided to ask about the death of Shipton's son.
She did attempt to engage an uninterested climber in a conversation about her Great-aunt Annie being one of the founders of the Ouray Woman's Club, back in 1897 and how she helped form the Ouray Library, with her friend, the famous millionaire, of Hope Diamond fame, Tom Walsh.
But Fred was being unusually patient.
Stop being a dickhead.
Dean frowned, perturbed at being discovered scrounging through Shipton's belongings, but he continued.
While she denied any knowledge of her phone number being in Shipton's room, Dean questioned if she was telling the truth.
Without being seen by anyone?
Dean supposed this was his idea of being subtle while trying to cut off the open path.
Dean knew from his prior life the pair were just doing their job but that didn't mean he had to like being watched like a street felon.
Dean realized from his past experience that being forthcoming and subjecting himself to interrogation without an attorney was naive but the entire idea of his trying to kill Shipton was so ludicrous in his mind, he tended to minimize the seriousness of the situation.
I thought she was just being paranoid, like some bad TV nonsense.
Maybe being so dizzy is an act with her.
Whoever cut that rope managed to do so without being seen.
That Edgar Poe guy wrote a story about the obvious being overlooked.
It pisses me off being shut out.
Dean returned to his quarters without being seen and found Fred still at work on his notes.
Frankly, I agree he was being a pain in the ass, but you quit being a detective when you left the East—we're the guys still on the job.
Then she added, I know I'm not being fair, but please, let me do this my way.
Priscilla handed the Weller a coffee cup without being asked, a sure sign the sheriff was a regular.
The afternoon sun bathed them like summer, and Dean, in spite of being coatless, was embraced by the warmth.
Pay dirt being, that Whitehouse guy was right.
That raises the question about Donnie not being able to talk.
You're being unfair to me, Edith.
Mrs. Shipton was packaged a little loosely to start with, so the white dress and her being pregnant and all just pushed her all the further.
That was a human being they hauled out of here, Gladys.
Donnie just grimaced, an acknowledgment that he was paying attention to what was being said, and harbored no desire to see his stepfather.
He asked me if that was being bad.
Was he being unfair, taking the easy way out?
Dean knew he was being foolish beyond any measure of reason to venture even the short distance that would allow him to see beyond the overhang.
I'd had a problem myself all along, not seeing Edith as being on the brink of suicide.
