Lisa Kleypas: Want

“Sometimes life has a cruel sense of humor, giving you the thing you always wanted at the worst time possible.”

“I want to fill every part of you, breathe the air from your lungs and leave my handprints on your soul. I want to give you more pleasure than you can bear.”

“The question, love, is whether you want me enough to take the risk.”

“I'd sell my soul to have you. In my whole life, you'll always be what I wanted most."

“Bending his head over hers, Leo murmured, "When I give you away at the altar, Bea, I want you to remember something. I'm not really giving you away. I'm merely allowing him the chance to love you as much as the rest of us do.”

“Seduction is merely encouraging a man to do something he already wants to do.”

“She was yours, if you'd truly wanted her," Harry continued, a pitiless smile touching his lips. "But I wanted her more.”

“His lips pressed against her forehead and she felt him smile against her skin. "Believe me… the only place in the world I want to be is wherever you are."

“I've never wanted to be loved. And God Knows no one's done it yet.”

“A sixty - eight, he wants you to go down on him but he won't return the favor. It would be sixty-nine but he owes you one.”

“I'm not that complicated, Haven. The truth is, I've wanted you ever since I met you in that damned wine cellar. Because I got a bigger charge out of that five minutes than I have with any woman before or since…”

“I wish you were a mind-reader. I want you
to know everything but I don't want to have
to tell you. Because there are some things I
don't want to say out loud.”

“I want you to admit just once what you feel
for me. I want to know if you'll miss me even
a little. If you'll remember me. If you're sorry
for anything.”

“Merripen, despite his fear of heights, had often climbed a ladder to wash the second floor window for her. He had wanted her view of the outside world to be clear.
He had said the sky should always be blue for her.”

“He was unbelievably hard. Everywhere. He was in control, infinitely stronger, and he wanted me to know it.

-Ella”

“Be happy, honey. No
one deserves it more. But don't forget… I'm
keeping one little piece of your heart for myself.
And if you ever want it back… you know
where to find it.”

“Haven't you ever wished that you could steal back just a few hours of your past?" she asked softly. "That's all I want… just a little taste of what might have been.”

“For God's sake, Marks, do you think anyone really wants a glance at those dried-up matchsticks you call legs?”
