Forgive me, Your Grace. Are you suggesting a woman is some sort of โฆ piece of fruit to you? One squeeze, and you know if sheโs ripe?
Tessa DareWhat? You mean to travel almost five hundred miles alone? No. I canโt let you do that. I . . . I forbid you.โ It was Colinโs first attempt at forbidding anyone to do anything, and it worked about as well as heโd expected it to. Which was to say, not at all.
Tessa DareYouโre like a gift,โ he said, his voice rough. โAll wrapped up for someone else. A man canโt look at you, but think of loosing those bows, one by one.
Tessa DareI'm infatuated with you, I cannot deny it. Physically speaking, you're a very attractive man. But I don't like you, the vast majority of the time. So far as I can gather, you behave abominably in public and are only marginally better in private. I only find you remotely tolerable when you're kissing me.
