“Killer skirt, deadly legs.”

“I need to get back to work,” Patch said. He gave me a once-over that lingered a bit below the hips. “Killer skirt. Deadly legs.”

“When I watched Lifetime original movies, it took me a day or two to get over the idea that the cute boy next door is actually a serial killer.”

“I was tired of admiring your legs from a distance.”

“My legs are falling asleep,” I blurted. It wasn’t a total lie. I was experiencing tingling sensations all through my body, legs included.“I could solve that.” Patch’s hands closed on myhips.”

“Arrogance can be deadly.”

“You’ve never been to school, ever? If that’s true— and you’re right, I don’t think it is—what made you decide to come this year?”“You....Your eyes, Nora. Those cold, pale gray eyes are surprisingly irresistible.” He tipped his head sideways, as if to study me from a new angle. “And that killer curvy mouth.”
