“His wicked sense of humour suggests exciting sex
His fingers focus on her
Her touches
He's Venus as a Boy!”

“He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom.
Excitable boy, they all said.
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home.
Excitable boy, they all said.”

“He touched her as he usually touched his beloved violin, with a soft and urgent grace that left her breathless.”

“I fell in love with her for her sense of humour. If she ever lost her sense of humour, I would have to dump her. Then I'd kill myself because I couldn't live without her.”

“"Just watch," said Sheila, touching her finger to her head.”

“He thought about crossing his fingers, but clasped her hand instead.”

“He took her into his arms again, using all his strength to be gentle, and let his lips touch hers so lightly he could hardly feel it.”

“He looked at her, and the clarity of his dark eyes struck her heart with a sensation of a wound touched.”

“Gideon touched her cheek, lightly, with the tips of his fingers. “Did you know your name means ‘wisdom’? It was very well-given.”

“Her eyes are pure stars, and her fingers, if they touch you, freeze you to the bone.”
