    0

    1
    0
  • It was something she had always liked about him, mostly because he was sincere about it.

    1
    0

    1
    0
  • She scanned the room, but didn't spot him.

    1
    0
  • She smiled up at him as his hand found her waist.

    1
    0
  • Alex had never mentioned him.

    1
    0
  • If Alex felt the need to protect her from Gerald, maybe she shouldn't be dancing with him.

    1
    0
  • I worked with him for two years before I discovered who he really was.

    1
    0
  • Getting information about him from Katie is too much work.

    1
    0
  • Of course, she knew Alex well enough now to know he didn't like people to hand out information about him.

    1
    0
  • Other than the one time he had lost his temper with her, she had never known him to be anything but gentle.

    1
    0

    1
    0
  • She smiled up at him, feeling a sudden need for levity.

    1
    0
  • Carmen gazed up at him innocently.

    1
    0

    1
    0
  • I never thought of him as being anything else but a salesman until I saw him tonight, but he seems so... comfortable now.

    1
    0
  • What had happened that made him ditch everything he knew and come to Arkansas?

    1
    0
  • Carmen rubbed her sore neck and searched the room for Alex again, but didn't find him.

    1
    0
  • Finally she spotted him talking to his father.

    1
    0
  • Focusing on his profile, she willed him to look her way.

    1
    0
  • Then he turned back to his father, who was watching him with interest.

    1
    0

    1
    0
  • As the dance came to an end, she gazed up at him.

    1
    0
  • She stood silently watching him until he looked uncomfortable.

    1
    0
  • You weren't going to introduce him to me... or Tessa?

    1
    0
  • Obviously the long week was taking its toll on him as well.

    1
    0
  • Alex pulled her too him, his lips seeking hers hungrily.

    1
    0
  • She pushed him back, speaking as firmly as she could without talking loud enough for the children to hear.

    1
    0
  • Carmen rushed to him, but found that he was either asleep or passed out.

    1
    0
  • She removed his Tux and shoes, rolling him around the bed in the process.

    1
    0
  • Being groped by him again wasn't something she was looking forward to.

    1
    0
  • They crawled into bed and she rolled on her side with her back to him.

    1
    0
  • She rolled over to face him, sliding eagerly into his embrace.

    1
    0

    1
    0
  • Carmen was looking at someone behind the camera and Alex was looking at a girl who stood about five feet from him.

    1
    0
  • You did not tell him?

    1
    0
  • You will not tell him?

    1
    0
  • I see no point in telling him.

    1
    0
  • And you obey him?

    1
    0
  • If I didn't want to do what he said I'd tell him so - and he would listen to my reasons.

    1
    0

    1
    0

    1
    0

    1
    0

    1
    0
  • She wasn't telling him anything he didn't already know.

    1
    0

    1
    0
  • She squeezed him once more and then released him.

    1
    0
  • Again she glanced up at him.

    1
    0
  • A part of her might never forgive him for what he did... and that was a dark part of her personality that she didn't want him to see.

    1
    0
  • Certainly she had given him no reason to believe she would.

    1
    0
  • Then again, Tessa had cheated on him.

    1
    0
  • Then why was it so difficult to forgive him?

    1
    0
  • Alfonso assured him that it was no big deal - that Señor Medena would pay for it because he had lots of money.

    1
    0
  • He flinched visibly as if she had slapped him, his fingers tightening on her arm.

    1
    0
  • I do not tell him.

    1
    0

    1
    0

    1
    0
  • She called him Papa.

    1
    0
  • Señor Medena would take care of him and see that he got to the hospital if he needed to go.

    1
    0
  • Sometimes the way Alex looked at him when he was talking - times when he was actually listening to him - it seemed to her that he felt that close bond.

    1
    0
  • Alex told her to call him back if she didn't give birth in an hour.

    1
    0

    0
  • Destiny jumped up and charged him.

    1
    0
  • She plowed into him, nearly knocking him down.

    1
    0
  • Carmen stared at him, trying to follow his runaway thought train.

    1
    0
  • Would she always feel this way about him and everything he touched?

    1
    0
  • Maybe it was therapeutic for him in some way.

    1
    0
  • It didn't take long for him to get home, and when he came in from the garage, he went directly to his gun cabinet and took out a rifle.

    1
    0
  • She watched him wash his hands.

    1
    0
  • Carmen waited until after the children were in bed before questioning him.

    1
    0

    1
    0

    2
    1

    2
    1

    3
    2
  • Carmen leaned back in his arms and smiled up at him.

    2
    1
  • As she walked away from him, she let her hips swing slightly.

    2
    1
  • It was hardly fair to shift that responsibility solely to him.

    2
    1
  • He looked as if she had hit him in the stomach.

    3
    2
  • Ultimately she would forgive him, so why not start now?

    2
    1
  • She gave him a sarcastic smile.

    3
    2
  • She leaned her head back and looked up at him, wiping the tears from her cheeks.

    3
    2

    2
    1
  • I heard him harassing you.

    1
    0
  • She addressed him icily.

    1
    0
  • She had him at bay and he was going to pay for his belligerent behavior.

    1
    0
  • Come to think of it, maybe that thought troubled him as well.

    1
    0
  • Tammy hurled herself across the room into his arms and started lavishing him with kisses and hugs that he returned with equal enthusiasm.

    1
    0
  • She glanced up to find him watching her with masked emotion.

    1
    0
  • She glanced up at him sharply.

    1
    0
  • If he was going to start throwing things, she had no intention of staying there in the kitchen alone with him.

    1
    0
  • He slung the dishtowel over his shoulder and one long step brought him to a point where she was pinned in the corner of the counter.

    1
    0
  • He grabbed her shoulders, pulling her roughly against him and kissed her lips in a demanding way that roused more anger than anything else.

    1
    0
  • She stared at him coldly.

    1
    0
  • Maybe it angered him because she hadn't found him irresistible.

    1
    0
  • Who knew what would tick him off?

    1
    0
  • The driver handed him an envelope and hopped into the car.

    1
    0
  • She tried to step around him, but he stopped her with an iron grip on her arm.

    1
    0
  • The masculine smell of him, the way his big hands caressed her cheek so softly... hands without calluses.

    1
    0
  • He stepped closer, slipping his other hand around her waist, and pulled her gently against him.

    1
    0

    1
    0
  • She tried to push away from him but his embrace was too strong.

    1
    0
  • As his grip on her relaxed, she stepped away from him, a flush creeping up her neck.

    1
    0
  • What was it about him that she responded to in spite of what she knew about him?

    1
    0
  • Did he know she was attracted to him?

    1
    0
  • She stepped back and glared at him.

    1
    0
  • She smiled up at him innocently.

    1
    0
  • Anyway, hadn't Giddon said that he wouldn't let anything happen to her as long as she was close to him?

    1
    0
  • It looked like the envelope the man in the black car had given him.

    1
    0
  • I keep telling him that as long as he gives her money, she'll never get out of trouble, but he just says she's the only sister he has and he has the money.

    1
    0
  • Drawing a deep breath, she finally called to him.

    1
    0
  • Secure in his strong arms, she wondered how she could have suspected him of anything sinister.

    1
    0
  • Yet, one backward glance at the hard lines of the face over hers reminded her that there was more than the gentle side to him.

    1
    0
  • She squirmed and gave him a bright smile.

    1
    0
  • His feelings for her were as genuine as hers for him.

    1
    0
  • She left him only a few months after they were married.

    1
    0
  • In fact, I think my big mouth made him all the more determined.

    1
    0
  • When she didn't get her way, she'd cry and act like she was afraid of him.

    1
    0
  • You stand up to him.

    1
    0
  • You're the kind of woman he needs - someone who will stand up to him and yet understand his moods.

    1
    0
  • She had no idea what made him angry one minute and jovial the next.

    1
    0
  • She glanced back at him sharply and caught her breath.

    1
    0

    1
    0

    1
    0
  • His chuckle was soft as he pulled her gently against him.

    1
    0
  • Let him explain all of it to his mother.

    1

    1
    0
  • He carefully picked up the box and Yancey followed him out to the car.

    1
    0
  • She waited for him to get a little way down the path before she slipped from her hiding place and went to the door.

    1
    0

    1
    0

    1
    0
  • She took a step toward him and called out.

    1
    0
  • She folded her arms across her stomach and walked closer to him so she didn't have to yell.

    1
    0
  • And now she had put herself in a position where she would be alone with him in the car.

    1
    0
  • It suddenly occurred to me that he might make a delightful pet; so I seized him by the tail with both hands and carried him home.

    3
    2
  • Alondra smiled up at him in a way that suggested their relationship went farther than employment extended.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • When he lifted his head, she pushed him away.

    0
    0
  • He didn't like a police officer there – or her leaving with him, but what could he say?

    0
    0
  • Even though you know nothing about him, you accept.

    0
    0
  • She stared at him, but he didn't look at her.

    0
    0
  • Of course, he thought she was giving him a signal.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • She needed to talk to him, but not here in front of the owner.

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Mr. Giddon heard him and kicked him off the place.

    0
    0
  • With that said, she got out of the truck and watched him leave.

    0

    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • I haven't even seen him since the funeral.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • Are you sweet on him?

    0
    0
  • I think I love him.

    0
    0
  • Why couldn't she feel the same excitement about him?

    0
    0
  • It was Yancey standing outside that shop, and with him were the man from the building and Allen.

    0
    0
  • Maybe she could act like she didn't notice it was him.

    0
    0
  • But then, it was like him not to reveal his thoughts or concerns – unless the mood hit him.

    0
    0
  • Sarah was watching him intently.

    0
    0
  • She stopped to wait for him, unsure whether to be happy about his presence or annoyed.

    0
    0
  • But no, he had Diablo with him – or did he?

    0
    0
  • And yet, every time she saw him, he was on his horse, ATV or in his car.

    0
    0
  • She glanced up at him, basking in the afterglow of a good scare.

    0
    0
  • The encounter had frightened him more than he would admit.

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • One thought had been gnawing at her consciousness since the first time she suspected him of being involved in drugs.

    0
    0
  • Occasionally he glanced behind him, as if searching for someone, or something, that might be watching.

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • He touched her arm and she moved away from him.

    0
    0
  • It might have been something she would suspect if she had ever seen him in the pool.

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • She inched away from him.

    0
    0
  • And don't tell me you aren't playing house with him.

    0
    0
  • All I know is that he's temperamental, and you'd better stay away from him.

    0
    0
  • You've been staying with him long enough to know him.

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • I imagine because Howard sent him.

    0
    0
  • Well, let him continue to think so.

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0

    0
    0
  • A sob tore at her throat, and she slung the clothes at him.
