“He was smoking hot. As in H-O-T-T, hott. I’d never understood until that moment why girls insisted on adding an extra t. This guy was extra-t-worthy.”

“I know I’m just a human woman, but so help me, if anything happens to her while she’s with you—”“I assure you she’ll be in good hands.”“Mm-hm, that’s part of what I’m worried about.” She pointed at his hands. “Hands off, mister.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil
“Good gracious, he was sexy—a word that had not existed in my personal vocabulary until that moment. This guy was sexy like it was his job or something.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil
“I love you,” I whispered.“I've loved you longer,” he said.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Peril
“We have to face difficulties to find out what our true strengths are. How we come back from failure is a very valuable test.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil
“Wait,” Kaidan called from behind me. I squeezed my eyes shut for a second, but kept walking. Then I felt his hand around my wrist, spinning me in a half circle and pulling me to his chest. His face was so close. He reached down and cupped my face with onewoolly hand, and wiped the top corner of my lip hard with his thumb. I flinched back. “What are you doing?” “I...” He appeared to have no idea himself. “I wanted to see your freckle.” A vulnerable tenderness flashed across his face, more painful to see than the coldness. It took every ounce of strength I had not to beg for one last kiss. As fast as his expression had softened, it was back to stone again. “What do you want from me, Kai?” “For starters?” His voice lowered to sexy, dangerous depths. “I want to introduce myself to every freckle on your body.” A powerful shiver ripped through me.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil
“Ready to s-snuggle?” he asked Kaidan, a slight clatter in his voice. Only Blake could joke on a night like this and get away with it.Kaidan shook his head and undressed down to his boxers, too, the tension finally shedding away from his frame. “I swear, mate. If I feel something poke me in the back. . .”Blake's laugh was dry. “I'm pretty sure my junk froze off, man, so don't worry.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Peril
“The beauty of poetry is that it can mean different things to different people at different times.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil
“Seriously,” I whispered, unable to look away. “You're doing the bedroom-eyes thing again.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil
“I was more myself with you during those three days than I’ve ever been with anyone in my life. It’d be easier if I could be fake with you, but you bring out everything in me, little Ann. All of it.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Peril
“Spend the night with me.” (...)“I’m tired of living like I’m not alive.” He dropped his hands from my face to grip my shoulders. “I’m bloody sick to death of it. I want one night to be alive. With you.” He closed his eyes and leaned his forehead on mine.“Please, Anna. One last night and we’ll go back to being safe again. I need this. I need you.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Peril
“Oh, dear Lord. I was in love with him. And there wasn’t a thing on earth, in heaven, or in hell that could have stopped me.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil
“Dear God!”I screamed and buried my face in my pillow.“What?!” I heard him ask. “Did you see a roach?”“Why are you naked?!” I did not dare to lift my red face.“Huh. Is that all?” he asked. “I always sleep in the buff. I don't know how you can stand all that clothing.”“Unbelievable.” I said, and without looking at him I pulled myself up and stomped to the bathroom.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil
“There was nothing healthy about desperately wanting something you couldn't have.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil
“I felt you come alive when we kissed, and I know you’re afraid of that. Afraid to unleash that other side of yourself.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil
“I texted Kaidan, who was listed in my contacts under “James,” for James Bond. He’d chosen it. He had me listed as “Hot Chick From Gig.”Video chat in 30.His immediate response made me shake my head.Clothing optional?It was nice to know he could keep a sense of humor in the face of calamity. Or maybe he wasn’t joking...“Are you two flirting?” Patti asked, her eyes darting to me from the road.I blushed and deleted his message.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Reckoning
“You told some human kid?”I coughed, buying time. “He's Neph, too.”Jonathan LaGrey went rigid and his ruddy cheeks paled. I squirmed as his eyes bored into mine.“Which one's his father?” he asked through clenched teeth.“Richard Rowe. I guess you'd know him as Pharzuph.” Oh, boy. He wasn't pale anymore.“You came across the country—”“Shhh!” I warned him as people looked over. He lowered his voice to a shouted whisper.“—with the son of the Duke of Lust?! Son of a—” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil
“I tried to warn you,But girls never listen.Got your innocence insured?’Cause it’s ’bout to be stolenRight out from under your nose.Prepare to curl your toes.I’ve got a one-track mind.You’ve got a nice behind.Chorus:I had a good thing goin’All numb in my shell,Then you took me by surpriseAnd now I’m scared as hell.I don’t wanna feel for you,I don’t wanna feel.If feeling means hurting,Then I don’t wanna be real.You crank up my lust, girl,You tame down my rage.You let your inner vixenRoam out of her cage.The moment our lips metI saw it in your eyes,But you were seeing me,too, I now realize.ChorusWhat do I want from you?I want everything.And I’m not gonna share—This ain’t a casual fling.You can be my bad girl,I’ll even be your good boy.How’d the tables get turned?F*** it, I’ll be your love toy.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Peril
“My girlfriend is a party girl angel who can kick some arse and cook.” ― Wendy Higgins, Sweet Peril
