“Your mother’s coming,” he said.“I know—she probably heard us arguing. Do something!”“What?”“Anything!”“Fine!” He grabbed her around the waist, dragged her body flush against his, and ducked his head. His lips crushed hers as his hands wrapped around her tightly so they were plastered against each other, hip to hip, thigh to thigh, breasts to chest.”

“He surged upward and paused at her entrance. “Look at me, Alexa.” Half drugged, she opened her eyes and gazed at the man she loved with every part of her being, waiting for him to claim her, waiting to take anything he could give. “It’s always been you.” He paused as if to be sure she heard and understood the words. Intensity gleamed within amber depths. He gripped her fingers, as if trying to speak beyond words. “And it will always be you.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“I was afraid I had nothing to give. But I do. And I want to give it all to you.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“It's always been you. I don't want anybody else; I don't dream about anybody else. It's only you.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“You need to be strong on your own before you can be strong with someone else.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Mistake
“There’s nothing worse than not being wanted” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“I love you, Alexa. I want you and I want our baby. I want this ridiculous hound dog because I've grown to love him, too. I also figured out what I don't want. I don't want to live my life without you. I don't want to be alone anymore. And I don't want to believe I deserve not to have you. And I swear to God, I'll spend the rest of my life making this up to you. - Nicholas Ryan” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“You really are a bastard, aren't you? Christian Grey has nothing on you.My name might be similar, but I'd never say "Laters, baby.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Mistake
“Hell, at this rate she’d end up in the mental institution by the end of the year. Cause: Celibacy.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“Did you feed the fish?”Nick closed his eyes. “Alexa, I’m working.” She made a rude snort. “So am I. But atleast I worry about poor Otto. Did you feed him?”“Otto?”“You kept calling him Fish. That hurt his feelings.”“Fish don’t have feelings. And yes, I fed him.”“Fish certainly do have feelings. And while we’re discussing Otto, I wanted to tell you I’m worried about him. He’s placed in the study and no one ever goes in there. Why don’t we move him into the living room where he can see us more often?” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“I'm tired of females who order a salad, then look as if they deserve a medal. A good meal is a gift.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“The Mets have heart and character, and I need a man who can root for the underdog. I refuse to sleep with a Yankees fan.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“Family sticks together no matter what happens.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“Nick stood alone and watched her.A strange emotion bubbled up inside of him. Since he’d never experienced it before, he couldn’t seek out a name. There was little left in life that touched him, and he admitted he liked it that way.Tonight, something changed.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“Nick knew the moment she realized her robe had dropped. Knew when the knowledge she was naked hit her full force. Watched her lips purse a small circle of horror right before sanity hit to make her reach for the robe.Nick used his two-second time span to make a decision.Her fingers started to yank up the material when he blocked her motion, lowered his head, and stamped his mouth over hers. Shock held her immobile and he used the time to his advantage. One quick thrust parted her plump lips and allowed him entry—entry to every slick, feminine heated corner of her mouth. Drugged on the taste of her, he circled her tongue with quick, urgent strokes, begging her to give it all back to him.And she did.Full power.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“Odd choice of a word, isn’t it? Fish is either singular, or plural. Imagine my surprise when I walked in the study and found not one fish in a tiny fish bowl, but an entire aquarium.”She practically vibrated for the need to fight. “Otto was lonely and you were practicing animal cruelty. He was too isolated. Now, he has friends and a place to swim.” “Yes, nice little tunnels and rocks and algae to play hide and seek with his buddies.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
“Let me be clear, la mia tigrotta. I’m taking you to bed. I’m going to strip off your clothes, bury myself deep inside you, and make you come so many times the only word from your lips will be my name, begging me to do it all over again.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Trap
“My Maggie, mia amore, I love you. I want to live with you, grow old, and have bambinos with you. You wrecked me. Completely … You belong with me.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Trap
“He closed the distance another tight inch. Her breasts pressed against his chest, and her nipples were hard little points stabbing out of the scarlet material, begging to be freed. Her breath came in ragged gasps, her perfume swamped his senses. He grew hard, and her eyes widened as his full length throbbed against her leg in demand. “I’m calling your bluff, baby.” Pure shock registered on her face as he removed one hand from the wall to casually unbutton his shirt, slide off his tie, then grasp her chin with a firm grip. “Prove it.” He stamped his mouth over hers, not giving her a chance to think or back off or push him away. He invaded her mouth, plunging his tongue inside the slick, silky cave, then closed his lips around the wet flesh and sucked hard. She grabbed for his shoulders, and made a little moan deep in her throat. Then she exploded.” ― Jennifer Probst, The Marriage Bargain
