“If that isn't a declaration of love, I don't know what is. And the words tumble out of me—a dam breached.”

“This is me, Ana. All of me...and I'm all yours. What do I have to do to make you realize that? To make you see that I want you any way I can get you. That I love you.”

“I've never wanted more, until I met you."I gasp, reeling. Oh my. Isn't this what I want? He wants more. He wants it, too! My inner goddess has back-flipped off the podium and is doing a cartwheels around the stadium. It's not just me.”

“Of course I do. I love you touching me, Ana. I'm like a starving man at a banquet when it comes to your touch.”
