Today the mist parted for me. She waited within them. hair like fire, eyes like amethyst.

She came to me, answering. The crystal bells of Silverfells sang around us. – Moving Target p.436 (posted by Andi)
He had sun-bright hair cut so that it would fit beneath a war helmet. His cloak floated on a breeze, revealing the chain mail hauberk beneath. A peregrine falcon rode his left arm. At his feet lay a staghound the size of a pony. He was watching a woman weave on a loom that was taller than a man. Her unbound hair tumbled in a fiery torrent down her back to her knees. She was looking over her shoulder at him with eyes the color of woodland violets. Instead of castle walls, they were surrounded by a rain-drenched forest, as though nothing on earth existed but these two people caught in the mists of time. – Moving Target p.437 (posted by Andi)

“That her?” John asked. “The fool who’s going to go stomping around in the Quintrell minefield? Yeah, that’s her, one Carolina May, Carly to her friends.” “You check her out?” “What do you think?” “You did.

He watched Tory’s retreat with narrow, steel-colored eyes. When he looked down at his scarred leather gloves and saw her blood on them, he swore savagely.

As Tory soaked her hands in a pan of warm, iodine tinted water, she heard another wild squawking from the henhouse. It ended before she could see what was happening.

Don’t cry for me”, Raven said quietly, stroking the burnished gold of Angel’s hair. “Even if I could, I wouldn’t change what happened in the past. I’m not the other half of your soul,and I never could have been. Hawk is. And, you aren’t the other half of mine. I know that now.” “But Janna is. She’s the other half of you.” Angel said. “I know, and I know that gratitude isn’t love.” You’re wrong about Janna,” Hawk said quietly. “I was raised on gratitude, not love. I know what gratitude is and what it isn’t. It isn’t a woman’s eyes following you everywhere, her fingers touching you when there’s no need, her voice softening when she says your name, her smile more beautiful for you than for anyone else on earth.

Whether I’m here or not, whether i see it or not, the cave goes on living, changing, becoming more beautiful with every glistening drop, every instant of time. Like love. Growing whether I will it or not, spreading through me, destroying and creating me at the same sweet and terrifying time. I love him. – This Time Love p.357 (posted by Joyce)

“A red tube dress hugged Lianne like a hungry lover. Long sleeves and a V neck called attention to the shape of her breasts. The skirt cupped her rear and barely teased the top of her thighs. Smoky stockings made a long, sexy mystery of her legs. Faith’s deft touch with makeup turned Lianne’s eyes into a tawny challenge and gave an X-rated pout to her lips.

It really wasn’t a dream, was it?” He stared at her. “Are you sure?” he demanded. “Almost. I’m so darned sleepy all the time, just like my mother was.” A long shudder racked Case’s strong body.

He didn’t know how much longer he would be able to admire her without touching the easy sway of her hips as she led him along the plateau’s secret byways. “Ty?” she said, a bit more loudly. “What?” he groaned, wondering how much longer he could lie next to her without grabbing her. “There’s a snake crawling along my leg.” – Reckless Love p.125 (posted by Angela)
“First my jacket, now my jeans,” he {Ian} said against her {Lacey} hair. “Hope you have a washing machine around here.

“This one isn’t by the same hand as the other,” Susa said. Ian looked from one painting to the next. Flowers. Lots and lots of flowers. “How can you tell?” “A century of experience.” “Bull.
