    89

    Deidre looked behind her, expecting to see Darkyn behind her and relieved that he wasn't.

    90

    Deidre opened her door to him and closed it behind him.

    91

    Deidre opened the door into the familiar chamber and closed it behind her, leaning against it.

    92

    Deidre paced on the beach behind her bungalow, unable to do anything but lecture herself over and over about how stupid she was to sleep with some random stranger.

    93

    Deidre stirred from behind him.

    94

    Deidre turned to see if there was someone behind her the stranger spoke to.

    95

    101

    Dusty waited until he heard the door close behind him before he moved.

    102

    103

    Embracing her from behind, he untied her robe and slid his hands around her waist.

    104

    Even more surprising was the fact that Gerald didn't seem to mind being left behind.

    105

    Fatigued, she carefully sealed it and returned all but the bladder to the hiding spot behind the trunks.

    106

    Few pleasant memories lay behind him in that office.

    107

    Fire exploded in her gullet as an arrow pierced her from behind.

    108

    Footsteps sounded behind her and she whirled, half expecting to see Josh.

    109

    Forty more lay behind that — all wild and unimproved.

    110

    Franny had been first on the scene behind Dean, dressed only in panties, her arms covering her tiny breasts, shivering as much at the sight as the chill of the early winter morning.

    111

    Fred asked as he peeked behind a picture.

    112

    Fred O'Connor beat a hasty retreat out the back door, looking like the Pied Piper with Donnie and Martha tagging behind, the Annie Quincy notebook under his arm.

    113

    From behind her his voice instructed gently.

    114

    Gabriel settled behind her, his long legs stretching out on either side of her.

    115

    God, she breathed as he stopped behind a new, black sports coupe.

    116

    Grasping the handle of the machete, she half fell, half leaped behind the log.

    117

    Halfway through his beer the sports argument became spirited enough that Dean took the opportunity to rise and cross to the payphone behind him.

    118

    Have you ever left your telephone behind – or off when he needed to reach you?

    119

    He allowed her to pull him into her small room and close the door behind him.

    120

    He approached and circled her, pausing behind her.

    121

    He brushed her hair behind her ear.

    122

    He caught her wrists and pinned them behind her, more interested in feeding.

    123

    He changed shape before descending behind Kris.

    124

    He clasped his arms behind his back, waiting politely.

    125

    He closed the doorway behind him.

    126

    He continued to trudge forward, leaving the river and crowds behind.

    127

    He crossed the room in quick strides and pinned her arms behind her back.

    128

    He didn't want to know what Tim did behind the scenes.

    129

    He died on the 22nd of August 1818, in his 86th year, and lies buried behind the chancel of the parish church, which he had recently restored at his own charges.

    130

    He disappeared behind the paper.

    131

    He dropped to his knees behind the boulder where Yully and Charles hid.

    132

    He exited out the sliding glass doors off the formal living area that led to the private beach behind the building.

    133

    He fell in behind them, taking advantage of the quieter air in their wake and kept pace with them.

    134

    He felt a momentary tightness until he recognized Randy Byrne behind the wheel.

    135

    He firmly pushed Dean toward the door as his partner stum­bled behind him, still in a daze.

    136

    He flung open the door and slammed it behind him.

    137

    He grabbed her around the waist and swept her into his arms, holding the basket behind her.

    138

    He gripped her wrists and held them behind her back.

    139

    He groped his way down the path, the wind whipping his raincoat behind him, until he felt the mush of soft sand beneath his aching feet.

    140

    He had stood behind her every decision since and enforced them all.

    141

    He heard whispers traded behind doors and cottages and waited.

    142

    He jabbed his thumb toward the wall behind him, where she made out the slender nickel doorknob in the space between two shelves of ancient books.

    143

    He kissed Cynthia good-bye and strolled the sun-lit streets the short distance to Sheriff Jake Weller's office behind the courthouse.

    144

    He laced fingers behind his head and stretched his back, glancing around at the herd as he spoke.

    145

    He left, closing the ill-fitting door behind him.

    146

    He looked at his watch again, then settled in bed on his side behind her.

    147

    He looked over his shoulder again at the dark landscape behind him.

    148

    He lowered the woman to her feet and pushed her behind him.

    149

    He maneuvered past the two trailing guards and slowed his horse behind Sirian.

    150

    He motioned for the Immortal behind her to leave.

    151

    He motioned the PMF members behind him towards the city.

    152

    He paused when he heard footsteps crunch on the straw behind the fence.

    153

    He peered behind her.

    154

    He plopped down on one of the wooden chairs, oblivious to Cynthia who sighed and began wiping up behind him.

    155

    He pointed to the wall far enough behind him to prevent her from butting in.

    156

    He pulled her up behind him and nudged his horse into a quick walk.

    157

    He put the box behind the seat in the truck and climbed in, laying the picture beside him.

    158

    He reluctantly pawed through the clutter on her bureau and the personal items in her bureau draw­ers, urged by Randy, who hoped the letter might have been left behind.

    159

    He rubbed Tessa behind the ears and his expression became distant.

    160

    He sensed the demon.s pain behind its attempt at a chipper tone.

    161

    He shifted behind her and was quiet for a long moment.

    162

    He shifted to stand behind her, placing his other hand on her other shoulder.

    163

    He sidled up behind her as she ordered a drink.

    164

    He slid in behind another biker and followed the crouched figure evenly, absentmindedly match­ing the rider stride for stride for several miles as he pondered his course of action.

    165

    He slid up right behind her before she could duck into a shop.

    166

    He stepped behind her and put his arms around her waist, pulling her back against his chest.

    167

    He stepped behind her and reached his arms around her, positioning her hands on the handle.

    168

    He stepped out from behind me, holding his large knife.

    169

    He stood a few meters away, hands clasped behind his back.

    170

    He strode towards the entrance behind several others exiting the building.

    171

    He talked from behind the paper.

    172

    He took the stairs three at a time and strode into the chambers, barring the door behind him.

    173

    He tossed his shirt on the chair behind her.

    174

    He touched the device behind his ear.

    175

    He tucked an errant curl behind her ear, enjoying the brush of her soft skin.

    176

    He tugged her inside and ducked into one of the dimly lit single-room rooms, closing the door behind him.

    177

    He tugged her out from behind the chair then turned her gently.

    178

    He turned to address Dan, when the sagging building behind them exploded into flames and light.

    179

    He was afraid of falling behind the hussars, so much afraid that his heart stood still.

    180

    He was behind Dean and before Dean could realize what was happening, Winston grabbed his right arm and with a quick metallic click Dean was securely fastened to the brass bedpost by a steel handcuff.

    181

    He was yards behind and took copious notes.

    182

    He wore his customary all black, his dark eyes hidden behind dark shades.

    183

    He wrenched the door open and slammed it behind him.

    184

    He'd been fighting, but tucked the sword behind his body, as if to protect Talal from it.

    185

    He'd grudgingly gone on the hunting trip, not wanting to leave Claire behind by herself.

    186

    He'd seen him jogging the highway, his long hair, now covered by a helmet, spilling behind him.

    187

    Her attention shifted to the nurse behind the counter, who was taking full inventory of Alex.

    188

    Her eyes strayed to the wall kept behind translucent, titanium-reinforced glass.

    189

    Her gaze lifted to the mountain behind the dairy.

    190

    Her gaze was fixed on him, something obviously going on behind eyes that couldn't decide whether they were green or blue.

    191

    Her gaze was on something behind Jenn.

    192

    Her gaze went again to the keypads protected behind the titanium glass.

    193

    Her move toward the fire was reflected in a small mirror behind the desk in front of which he stood.

    194

    Her only regret in leaving everything behind was not bringing Jack with her.

    195

    Her personal net buzzed, and she touched the area behind her ear again.

    196

    Hilden moved through the crowd directly to the table and took up a protective position behind Rissa, watching without interfering.

    197

    His attention was on a point behind her, and she turned to see a portal waiting.

    198

    His eyes, behind the Chopard Aviators, were a deep yellow gold.

    199

    His gaze scoured her face, something obviously going on behind eyes that were darker than normal.

    200

    His gaze searched the woods behind them in a way that made her nervous.

    201

    His gaze shifted to a point behind her and the smile left his face.

    202

    His presence was intense but calming, almost to the degree she had the urge to lean against him and let his huge hands roam her body, grip her from behind and pull her … Crunching from behind her broke the spell.

    203

    His quick pace forced her to trot to keep up, and the two warriors behind her let her go to pursue their leader.

    204

    His senses painted a scene in the darkness behind his eyelids.

    205

    His teeth behind the full lips were normal today, which made her think she'd been wrong about the fangs she saw yesterday.

    206

    Hmm, maybe since Victor was behind it, it didn't work.

    207

    How can I drag out a pile of maybes and cause her to spend the rest of her days wondering if hubby will jump out from behind some bush?

    208

    I didn't leave SB the Owl behind because I didn't love him.

    209

    I don't want to do something behind his back.

    210

    I dropped the salt shaker behind the stove.

    211

    I hated to leave him behind that way, but he doesn't want to leave Arkansas.

    212

    I heard her snarl from behind the wooden door.

    213

    I just wanted to put the whole business out of my mind, behind me.

    214

    I need this behind us.

    215

    I take it there's a story behind this.

    216

    I took the shortest way through the little park behind the palace.

    217

    I was like one who never casts a look behind, who hesitates before some Rubicon to be crossed, but having touched the farther bank sees no more the shore he has just left."

    218

    I'll be behind the ambulance in the car.

    219

    I'm glad all of it is behind us.

    220

    I'm sure Mr. Dean doesn't want to wait up for an out-of-shape old lady lagging behind him.

    221

    I've put the past behind me.

    222

    If I find out it was one of those Dawkins boys, I'll respond in like fashion, and out in the open, not hiding behind boulders.

    223

    In spite of everything that had happened, she longed to be in his arms – to leave this fighting behind.

    224

    In that instant everything was behind them and they made love as though nothing had come between them.

    225

    Instead of retreating into the forest—the way they'd come—he walked behind a boulder and started up a set of long, shallow steps leading up the mountain.

    226

    Instead, he pulled up a chair behind the door and waited.

    227

    Instead, he slipped an arm behind her back and one under her legs.

    228

    Isn't there anything you'll be sorry to leave behind?

    229

    It makes no sense, but I couldn't ever leave that night behind.

    230

    It sat on a table, and behind it were two easels and a stool.

    231

    It seemed every other rider had passed him on the climb until he looked down the mountain and saw hundreds of dots of color still struggling up the incline behind him.

    232

    It stood behind the door.

    233

    It was a beautiful smile that caused Dean to wonder what life the young girl had left behind.

    234

    It was a shock for David Dean to see Fred O'Connor sitting on a wooden stool behind bars at the Ouray County jail.

    235

    It was hard to believe Lori would be behind this latest attack.

    236

    It was safer for her to imagine someone sitting just behind her wall weaving clothing and sending it to her or anyone else as they requested.

    237

    Jackson lay back with his hands behind his head, replaying the night, still hardly believing it was real.

    238

    Jackson leaned back a little and clasped his hands behind his head.

    239

    Jake trotted behind her, his nails clicking on the concrete floor.

    240

    Jessi closed the door behind them.

    241

    Jessi grabbed Gerry's arm and slammed the front door behind them, marching through the hallway in a combination of disgust and envy.

    242

    Jessi retreated behind the counter, placed the coffee in front of him and sat behind him.

    243

    Jessi's scent lingered in the air; he was only minutes behind her.

    244

    Jim closed the door behind him, and Brady stayed where he was for a long moment, watching the laser strikes.

    245

    Joan tossed the tablet on a table behind her and turned her attention on Carmen.

    246

    Jonny closed the door behind her and locked it.

    247

    Jonny took Bianca's hand and pulled her behind him, stepping between the two of them.

    248

    Josh had left childhood behind long ago and this little frolic in the snow probably looked anything but innocent to him.

    249

    Josh pulled his truck through the gate and leaped out, grabbing his shotgun from the rack behind the seat.

    250

    Josh was behind Alex, and he grinned at Carmen.

    251

    Jule eased out of the garage and closed the door behind him.

    252

    Jule sensed a great deal of turmoil behind his calm features and pitied the man.

    253

    Just behind it they came upon some dozens of soldiers, continually replaced by others, who ran from the entrenchment.

    254

    Just behind the royal standard-bearers came the Princess Ozma in her royal chariot, which was of gold encrusted with emeralds and diamonds set in exquisite designs.

    255

    Just trying to get you mellow enough to tell me why you've got a bug up your behind.

    256

    Katie came in behind her and sat in a nearby chair.

    257

    Katie closed the door to the bedroom behind her.

    258

    Katie dumped a few of the cubes into her hand with another look at Andre.  She drew a deep breath and tossed the cubes after Gabriel.  She stopped walking as the cubes hit the ground behind him.

    259

    Katie heard the sounds of laugher and talk from behind the closed door.

    260

    Keaton was right behind her, pulling her into a protective embrace.

    261

    Kiki gave him a shove, and the older woman closed the door behind them.

    262

    Kiki obeyed and left, closing the door behind him.

    263

    Kind of like a mower, only they drag it behind a tractor.

    264

    Kris disappeared into the portal behind him.

    265

    Lacing fingers behind her neck, she arched back, feeling the muscles in her back stretch.

    266

    Lana closed the door behind her and looked around, dismayed.

    267

    Lana squeezed herself and Jack into the small space behind him.

    268

    Lana twisted to watch it lower itself to the ground a hundred meters behind her position.

    269

    Leaning back against the wall, her hands behind her back, she contemplated the words she needed to say.

    270

    Leaning back in the chair and lacing fingers behind his neck, that bland gaze roved over her face again.

    271

    Light flared suddenly behind her, and she turned curiously.

    272

    Making sure she's not sneaking up behind me to kill me, Xander said and removed his cell from his jeans.

    273

    Maybe she should forgive him and leave the fighting behind.

    274

    Maybe that was behind her frustration lately.

    275

    Megan closed the door behind her, and Katie sank down onto the bed.

    276

    Memon inspected the hold and the city until late afternoon, when the scent of roasting meat wafted from the massive kitchens behind the hold through the city.

    277

    Mick, trailing behind with Penny, called over his shoulder, "Why don't you just round up all of Shipton's enemies, rent a stadium and interview them?"

    278

    Most of his face was hidden behind the mask, but his silver-white hair was too familiar to be anyone else's.

    279

    Mr. Westlake, dressed in his usual dusty and patched attire, pressed Cynthia for the reason behind her unusual reticence.

    280

    Mrs. Lincoln formed a pillow behind the old man's head.

    281

    Ms. Nightingale murmured a room number and motioned down a hall crowded with bodies like the day after Gettysburg while white-coated figures strolled among the moaning, clip boards in hand With wide-eyed Fred following behind, Dean ran the gauntlet until he found the room, a small office packed with five men and a lot of smoke, three of them in Philadelphia Police uniforms.

    282

    My place was on the street behind theirs, one house over so the corners of our lots touched.

    283

    Natalie stood at the end of the hall, half hidden behind the wall, her eyes large and imploring.

    284

    Neither spoke to her, only stood quietly while their warriors remained in the hallway behind them.

    285

    No more leaving me behind.

    286

    No telling what tales their ghosts could spin and what unfinished business they left behind.

    287

    No, this wasn't the same man she'd left behind two weeks ago.

    288

    Nope. I was there right off the bat, right behind screaming Gladys.

    289

    Nothing felt right, so she decided to tuck her hands behind her back and simply lean against the wall.

    290

    Now it's time to put it behind us.

    291

    Now my two treasures are secure behind me as I'm off to my wooded sanctuary.

    292

    On an impulse, Dean drove back in behind it and strolled over to meet the young man who stepped from the vehicle.

    293

    One of the goons behind her grabbed her.

    294

    One of them wore a sash of red and black, a youth his age hiding behind him.

    295

    Only an occasional sound of brush being pushed aside indicated he was still behind her.

    296

    Only his superb strategy and the heroic devotion of his lieutenants - notably the converted Jew, Jan Samuel Chrzanowski, who held the Ottoman army at bay for eleven days behind the walls of Trembowla - enabled the king to remove "the pagan yoke from our shoulders"; and he returned to be crowned at Cracow on the 14th of February 1676.

    297

    Only when he sensed the approach of someone behind him did he realized it was real.

    298

    Paul was number three in the computer line, behind Brandon Westlake, and brother Joseph.

    299

    Pierre closed the door behind her, remaining outside.

    300

    Positive law, at least in progressive societies, is constantly tending to fall behind public opinion, and the expedients adopted for bringing it into harmony therewith are three, viz, legal fictions, equity and statutory legislation.

    301

    Pual followed a few steps behind.

    302

    Purple-eyes looked at her, and she shrank behind Green-eyes.

    303

    Quick steps came down the hallway behind a bobbing flashlight.

    304

    Reaching down, he placed one arm behind her knees and the other around her back, gently lifting her into his arms.

    305

    Rhyn opened the door, surprised to find the jailer's room empty.  He'd expected Jared at least.  He closed the door quietly behind him.  He snatched the talisman hanging near the door, the one that freed inmates from their cells.  He ignored the quickening of his pulse as he entered the familiar cell block.

    306

    Rhyn waited until the healer passed him and then stepped into the shadow world behind him.

    307

    Rissa looked down self-consciously and clasped her arms behind her back.

    308

    Sasha had told him many things before to try to break him, but this time, he sensed the truth behind the words.

    309

    Sean asked from behind her.

    310

    Searching for a shadow behind every face wasn't exactly conducive to enjoying her vacation.

    311

    Selyn hurried across the room to a pad of paper and pen that Wynn had clearly left behind, if his tight writing on the back cover was any indication.

    312

    Sensing her alarm, Darkyn's mate turned and took the arm of the girl behind her, pushing her towards the black door to Hell.

    313

    She barely closed the door to a random guest bedroom behind her when he pulled her into his arms.

    314

    She bent down, kissed him, and gave him a pat on his behind.

    315

    She blinked, not registering the deity was behind her until he spoke.

    316

    She caught up to him at the door, surprising him with the quiet of her bare feet on the carpet and gave him a hug from behind, burying her head against his back and holding on for a long while.

    317

    She closed the door behind her.

    318

    She closed the door behind them in the massive bedchamber that was hers and whirled.

    319

    She commiserated with the brown-tinged blossoms left behind by other customers who didn't want to be so close to death.

    320

    She darted behind the nearby rocks.

    321

    She didn't fully register his words until the door closed behind him.

    322

    She didn't open her eyes or release her breath until she heard the door close behind him.

    323

    She dozed in the car during the forty-five-minute drive into northern Virginia, where her sister's fiancé owned a mansion secreted behind towering shrubbery and a gate that swung open to welcome her.

    324

    She dropped the piece of toast and darted out the front door, locking it behind her.

    325

    She even caught herself touching her ear to keep from sliding her finger behind it to the subcutaneous net implant.

    326

    She exited into a wide hall, glancing at Hilden as she closed the door behind her.

    327

    She followed behind him like a puppy, stopping when he flipped a light switch.

    328

    She followed his look and drew the injured arm behind her back.

    329

    She glanced at the clock on the wall behind him.

    330

    She glanced back over her shoulder to see Darkyn standing where she left him, hands clasped behind his back, watching her with the cold smile that told her there was more going on than she suspected.

    331

    She hadn't heard the demon drop from the top of the building to land a few feet behind her.

    332

    She heard the sound of a weapon scraping a scabbard behind her and turned.

    333

    She heard what was behind his message, the cunning edge Darkyn didn't try to hide behind pretty words like Wynn did.

    334

    She hobbled up behind where he knelt.

    335

    She jumped, surprised to find the Black God a couple of feet behind her, staring at the scene.

    336

    She kept coming up behind me and putting her hand on the paper and into the ink-bottle.

    337

    She lagged behind so he could open the restaurant door for them, but once inside he surrendered their care to Josh and Bill.

    338

    She left the sounds of the battle behind her, her thoughts on Rhyn and nothing else.

    339

    She parked her gray Thunderbird behind Denton's bright red sports car and climbed the steps to the porch.

    340

    She pivoted and entered the room, taking baby steps and leaving him to close the door behind her.

    341

    She pulled, and he ran.  Katie felt the ground shake beneath them as the demons pursued.  Several flew overhead and dropped directly in their path.  She stopped and shoved Toby behind her, drawing the knife Gabe had given her.  Before long, they were surrounded.

    342

    She put a foot in the stirrup and swung up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

    343

    She raced over to Brutus and positioned the sack behind him.

    344

    She ran hard and left the sounds of the battle behind her, her thoughts on Rhyn and nothing else.

    345

    She reached down behind the desk and brought out a bottle of gin and poured two healthy slugs into water glasses.

    346

    She reached up, sliding her hand behind his neck and drawing his face down to hers.

    347

    She registered nothing but darkness and cold for a while before the cold began to fade, and the night behind her eyelids lightened.

    348

    She sauntered over to him with her hands behind her back.

    349

    She scrambled behind Keaton, still splashing water at the dark form that followed her wake.

    350

    She showed no sign of life until he locked the door behind them.

    351

    She sipped from a container of water and turned again to the wall behind the titanium glass, unable to pinpoint how one of the sensitive keypads had made it outside the compound or when.

    352

    She snatched her pillow off the bed and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

    353

    She squatted behind a screen of brush and watched.

    354

    She squeezed behind the barrel as the office door opened.

    355

    She started to shake, unable to bear the idea of more children dying or living with the creature behind it.

    356

    She stretched as far as she could and laced her fingers behind his neck, pulling his mouth down to hers again.

    357

    She strode to the door and left, closing it behind her.

    358

    She struggled to mount behind one of the guards shielding her, when an attacker's blow landed solidly against his horse's flank.

    359

    She swung up behind him and put her arms around his waist.

    360

    She thinks she set it down when we hid behind the boulder—after the shot.

    361

    She touched the subcutaneous communications implant behind her right ear, which activated the communications net, and rolled onto her back.

    362

    She toyed with her food, gaze going to the closed door behind which her two-year-old daughter slept.

    363

    She tried to keep her breathing steady even as she wanted to run screaming and hide behind Rhyn.

    364

    She trotted down the steps behind him.

    365

    She turned around, but saw no doorway behind her.

    366

    She walked through the masses, comfortably hidden behind her mask.

    367

    She wanted to show it to the little boy in the seat behind us.

    368

    She was fuming in the hallway when he pulled the door closed behind him.

    369

    She was running water into the skillet to let it soak when Alex came up behind her.

    370

    She was stuck with the creature behind the evil in the world.

    371

    She wasn't expecting his kiss or the passion behind it.

    372

    She wasn't so sure she wanted to know what was behind that door.

    373

    She waved her hand behind her.

    374

    She'll have left some sort of clues behind.

    375

    Sirian stood behind him, trailed by Hilden.

    376

    So absorbed was she in thought that she didn't notice when he entered the room behind her.

    377

    Soft voices drew her attention to the doorway, where she was able to hear but not see Cora behind the massive frame of Gabriel.

    378

    Someone behind them laughed out loud and Dean turned to see a young man cover his mouth and apologize.

    379

    Someone pitched a jacket to the man who carefully placed it behind Dean's head.

    380

    Something about the woman looked familiar, but it was hard to identify her from behind.

    381

    Somewhere along the line she had left herself behind.

    382

    Suddenly he heard a rustling noise behind him.

    383

    Talon hauled her along until he, too, was worn out and she dropped behind both.

    384

    Taran snatched her wrists and trapped her against him, forcing her arms crossed behind her.

    385

    Taran struggled to keep up, acutely aware of the sounds of men crashing through the forest behind him.

    386

    Taran's attention swept to the walls behind him, and he felt a pang of yearning and regret.

    387

    The adjutants and battalion and regimental commanders mounted, crossed themselves, gave final instructions, orders, and commissions to the baggage men who remained behind, and the monotonous tramp of thousands of feet resounded.

    388

    The agitated voice came from behind her, jarring her.

    389

    The Appaloosa stallion loved to run, and Princess couldn't be left behind.

    390

    The boy got up at once, and sat behind the king.

    391

    The cogs were working behind those blue eyes.

    392

    The counter was stacked with books, and there was a single chair behind the stand for him to sit and sign.

    393

    The Darian she'd left behind two weeks ago hadn't resolved his issues with his past.

    394

    The Dark One's mysterious search for something past-Deidre left behind began to make sense.

    395

    The dead and for the most part unmerchantable wood behind my house, and the driftwood from the pond, have supplied the remainder of my fuel.

    396

    The door behind Lana slid open.

    397

    The door closed behind her and his quick step clipped across the floor.

    398

    The door closed behind her, leaving her in near-complete darkness.

    399

    The door closed behind her.

    400

    The door closed behind him.

    401

    The door closed behind them as he strode through the lighted, vacant halls, following a familiar path on the way to the chamber.

    402

    The door opened behind her and Alex walked in.

    403

    The door swung closed behind her, and fear trickled through her.

    404

    The door to the underground tunnel network was hidden behind a boulder and draped with moss.

    405

    The door was barely closed behind him before Gerald moved to the side of the bed.

    406

    The fire wasn't far behind her, while the clouds had reached the tops of what trees were still standing.

    407

    The first day was behind him, his muscles weren't overly sore, he seemed to be adjusting to the altitude and he had conquered more hills in one day than a year of Pennsylvania biking would offer.

    408

    The first man grabbed her from behind.

    409

    The forest was soon filled with the sound of pursuers.  Katie needed no further encouragement.  She pulled her arm free and ran behind Gabriel as he kept to the invisible path.  A shadow caught her attention.  She glanced over and froze, tripping.

    410

    The four lawyers rode along, one behind another; for the pathway was narrow, and the mud on each side of it was deep.

    411

    The garage door behind him opened, and he whirled.

    412

    The gateway closed behind him.

    413

    The girl was close enough behind him to smell the dankness of his tangled locks.

    414

    The ground behind her made a sucking sound, and she scampered away, staring at the swirling earth.

    415

    The guards led her into the streets and behind the hold.

    416

    The guy behind the counter was staring at her, his mouth lax and his eyes wide.

    417

    The headlights behind provided a sense of false security.

    418

    The huge sycamore tree behind the house was now on the house.

    419

    The last thing she needed was for him to show up at her doorstep right behind Jonny.

    420

    The leader stopped and faced her, his buddies closing in behind her.

    421

    The man shut the door behind them.

    422

    The man stopped, thinking he'd heard some movement behind him, but after listening a few minutes could discern no human sound and was satisfied he was alone.

    423

    The pantry stood hidden behind a closet near the bar.

    424

    The path led step by step from the renter of Bascomb Place, with Fred and Dean always a step behind him.

    425

    The quilt of a high, white feather bed was just visible behind a screen.

    426

    The scraping of leather against leather, the hollow clatter of stone and shale, the rustle of whatever creature settled behind her.

    427

    The sheriff's office was located only a few blocks east of Bird Song, behind the County Court House, where Fred O'Connor would report for jury duty the following Tuesday.

    428

    The shuttle disappeared behind buildings as it headed towards one of the seven helipads on the compound.

    429

    The sound of fighting erupted behind her, and she stopped before the trail curved out of sight to see Rhyn standing over his first victim, a demon in a jaguar form.

    430

    The stark red of blood against white snow caught his attention, and he circled the park behind the castle.

    431

    The two thugs a few feet behind them were dressed in dark clothes and muscular.

    432

    The warrior closed the door behind him, his gaze on the broken book.

    433

    The woman craned her neck to look at something on a table behind the drawn curtain.

    434

    The woman in the bed behind him wouldn't hurt anyone else.

    435

    The woman moved behind him, her confused green eyes on Jule.

    436

    The woman.s face was hidden behind a mass of blonde hair, but he recognized the hot pink fingernails instantly.

    437

    Then he gathered his weapons, intent on leaving before Sirian's men muddied up any tracks left behind by Rissa's captors.

    438

    Then he heard a muffled sound from behind the partially closed bathroom door.

    439

    There was a long pause before she sensed him change forms behind her.

    440

    There was a moral behind it, one that terrified her.

    441

    There was a soft step behind her, and then his hands were on her waist, his thumbs nimbly working the tense muscles.

    442

    There were two men behind him, and they crowded around to see her.

    443

    There, standing sil­houetted in the brightness behind him stood the pride of the FBI, Jonathan Winston.

    444

    There's always a scene when relatives view what the victim left behind.

    445

    They both crawled into the tent and pulled in the gear behind them just as the last of the day was fading.

    446

    They continued, and Deidre's attention went to a small shop behind the tents, from which incense drifted.

    447

    They exited into the hallway, and she closed the door behind her, standing protectively in front of it.

    448

    They had to move forward, and leave the past behind them.

    449

    They heard the sound of voices behind them.

    450

    They inched forward, one behind the other, hands at their sides lest they rub the slime of the rock walls that wept on either side.

    451

    They left Katie behind in the dairy and entered the other side of the barn.

    452

    They left the protected area behind the kingdom and started into the woods on a two-man trail.

    453

    They slammed and barred the door behind them.

    454

    They slid behind it, and she sought their next move.

    455

    They slopped forward, feet sloshing the muddy floor, no longer trying to avoid the water that oozed in rivulets down the narrow passageway, back toward the entrance, now out of sight behind them.

    456

    Toenails clicked on concrete behind her and panting announced that Brutus had arrived for his breakfast.

    457

    Toni pushed both women behind him, and Darian took a teetering step towards him.

    458

    Too late, she'd heard the footsteps behind her and felt something smash into her head.

    459

    Too weak to push it off, he let his head drop back onto the cushion behind him.

    460

    Tucking her hair behind her ear, he murmured, "It's going to be a long week."

    461

    Turning his back to the stove, he held his hands behind him.

    462

    Twisting in the saddle, she soaked in the scene behind them.

    463

    Two more black-clad protective service members with weapons drawn stood nearby, one a safe distance behind the lunatic and the other near the cliff.

    464

    Tymkyn, the best tracker in the underworld, stood behind him, hands clasped and chest heaving.

    465

    Voices rose from behind the door, their words too muffled by the wood to distinguish.

    466

    Was he agonizing about leaving them behind?

    467

    Was someone else a step behind them, looking over their shoulder?

    468

    We can leave Ouray, leave your wife behind.

    469

    We followed behind him.

    470

    We're only six days behind him, maybe less.

    471

    What was going on behind those dark eyes?

    472

    Whatever beauty the day held was lost once he was behind the wheel, listening to a chorus of horns amid a blue haze of exhaust.

    473

    When Dean saw the flashing lights behind him he was startled until he recognized the white Chevy Blazer, the sheriff's car, and his reaction turned from concern to a smile.

    474

    When having limbered up the only two cannon that remained uninjured out of the four, they began moving down the hill (one shattered gun and one unicorn were left behind), Prince Andrew rode up to Tushin.

    475

    When his warm lips pressed against the soft area behind her ear, she abandoned the knife and turned around, expecting to see a twinkle in his eyes and a smile on his lips.

    476

    When she didn't hear Darian drop behind her, she turned.

    477

    When she finished, still attired in bathrobe and floppy slippers, and leaving a cloud of flour behind her, she crept upstairs to talk to Fred; a conversation that lasted thirty minutes.

    478

    When the road straightened once more, he heard a noise behind him and a dozen daredevils in the tuck posi­tion sped on by him with a wave and a rush of air.

    479

    When the rustling behind her stopped, she led the woman out of the apartment and locked the door behind her.

    480

    When their lovemaking finished, Dean remained in bed, his arms folded behind his head, awaiting Ethel's return from her obligatory post coital trip to the bathroom.

    481

    When they got to Ed, he mounted and helped her up behind him.

    482

    While he didn't want his death-dealers to fear him, he also recognized the look in her eyes and those of the assassins behind her.

    483

    White high-heeled sandals clicked smartly as she walked across the porch behind Alex.

    484

    Whoever is behind sending you here is probably threatening you, if you don't deliver.

    485

    With Destiny buckled in safely and Jonathan sitting beside her, he climbed behind the wheel and started the car.

    486

    With extreme trepidation, I complied, closing the door behind me.

    487

    With that behind her, she turned to another subject - one equally disturbing.

    488

    With that odious chore behind him, Dean began to formalize his notes on yesterday's interviews.

    489

    With that, Jackson left the room, locking the door behind him while Connor stared after him, mouth agape.

    490

    With the power of Hell behind him, Darkyn could raise an Army of Souls to wipe out the mortal realm.

    491

    Wynn debated the meaning behind the words.

    492

    Wynn didn't want to imagine what Darkyn did to the sweet girl he left behind in Hell.

    493

    Wynn pitied her but wasn't about to ask any favors of the demon lord that didn't involve Wynn leaving Hell – and Deidre – behind.

    494

    Xander's body moved behind hers, resting lightly against her in a way that ratcheted up her pulse.

    495

    Xander's growl came from somewhere behind her.

    496

    You couldn't take us all, and I'm certain I'd be the one who's left behind.  Humans take priority to you angels.  No, sweetmeats, I won't help you escape.

    497

    You must understand there is a reason behind what I ask of you that will not become clear for some time.
