Dropped in A Sentence

    1

    A dark form dropped in front of her.

    2

    A few minutes later he leaned back over the bluff and dropped a bottle of water into Alex's waiting hands.

    3

    A gem bubbled to the top of the lake then dropped down, rejoining the rest of them beneath the surface.

    4

    A live band started playing a waltz and he dropped a hand to her waist.

    5

    A moment later, he dropped the axe and ran.

    6

    A sharp pain shot through her ankle and a cry escaped her lips as she dropped back to the ground.

    7

    A small pulse of power, and the man dropped.

    8

    A stone dropped from the ceiling into the vat, and warm blood splashed over him.

    9

    A tear slid down her cheek unnoticed until it dropped on Brutus.

    10

    A tow-haired boy happily dropped a Marlboro cigarette box in the churning water and then ran downstream to monitor its progress.

    11

    A'Ran dropped his feet from the table and rose to face his uncle.

    12

    Abruptly, he dropped her hand and turned away, marching off to his car.

    13

    After a few more turns of the lathe he removed his foot from the pedal, wiped his chisel, dropped it into a leather pouch attached to the lathe, and, approaching the table, summoned his daughter.

    14

    After the first several feet, the angle of the slope dropped more sharply and he was forced to move to his left to avoid falling.

    15

    After they dropped the children off and returned home, Alex worked in his office while Carmen took a shower and started getting ready.

    16

    Alex caught up with them and dropped a stern gaze on Carmen.

    17

    Alex dropped his mind reading gaze on her.

    18

    Alex fired twice more and the bear dropped to the ground.

    19

    Alex slowed and dropped back beside her.

    20

    All three dropped their jaws.

    21

    Almost immediately, the room erupted with a gunshot and both my assailant and I dropped to the floor.

    22

    Amused, he dropped the sweater into the bag, grabbed a few more and a pair jeans.

    23

    And I haven't dropped you, either.

    24

    And poor, sweet Molly, dropped to the ground, like so much garbage.

    25

    And the talkative Dolgorukov, turning now to Boris, now to Prince Andrew, told how Bonaparte wishing to test Markov, our ambassador, purposely dropped a handkerchief in front of him and stood looking at Markov, probably expecting Markov to pick it up for him, and how Markov immediately dropped his own beside it and picked it up without touching Bonaparte's.

    26

    And then you found the dropped finger bone.

    27

    Arnie's weight dropped, and Lana and Brady landed in a heap.

    28

    As Alondra and Alex passed her, Alex dropped a hand to Carmen's shoulder.

    29

    As Dean watched, scarcely breathing, she lifted the ancient white dress above her head in one motion and dropped it to the floor.

    30

    As he stopped beside her, a tear slid down her cheek and dropped to her shirt.

    31

    As if sensing she was some poor tourist, he dropped her off at a youth hostel located above a bar already teeming with people.

    32

    As soon as the Dark One's gaze fell to her, she dropped into a deep curtsy.

    33

    At his hesitation and the heated, lustful look he gave her, Sofia's mouth dropped open.

    34

    At one point, the girl dropped her napkin and the boy reached beneath the table, picked it up, and replaced it daintily on her lap.

    35

    At the table, he slung a long leg over a chair and dropped into it, kicking out the chair next to him for Carmen.

    36

    Before Dean finished hanging up his coat, pouring a cup of over-brewed coffee and settling in his chair, Rita Angeltoni dropped a pile of telephone messages on his desk.

    37

    Before secure phones and dropped numbers and scrambled voices.

    38

    Below, he could see a displaced boulder and disturbed earth before the slope dropped off at an impossible angle into utter blackness.

    39

    Berthier, his chief of staff, dropped behind to question a Russian prisoner captured by the cavalry.

    40

    Bianca dropped to her knees beside her, and her cold healing fire tore through Jenn.

    41

    Bianca stared, horrified, as the blonde dropped.

    42

    Bianca stepped away, and Jenn dropped, sensing the guardsman's next blow.

    43

    Bill dropped Katie and Jonathan off at their house before he took Carmen to the hospital.

    44

    Blood splattered her as someone dropped from the cot beside her to the floor.

    45

    Brady's men had dropped her, Elise, and Dan—along with two others—into the forest by helicopter two hours before.

    46

    But Dolokhov restarted the conversation which had dropped and began putting direct questions as to how many men there were in the battalion, how many battalions, and how many prisoners.

    47

    But that lasted no more than a few minutes before the doe dropped to the ground and strained with another contraction.

    48

    But we dropped into this adventure rather unexpectedly.

    49

    Cade dropped into a chair and immediately began to put away the food.

    50

    Carmen dropped into a chair and leaned her elbow on the table.

    51

    Carmen dropped into a chair at the table.

    52

    Carmen dropped the rag and stared at him.

    53

    Carmen stiffened and dropped her fork.

    54

    Chest heaving, he dropped the machete from his hand as he realized what he.d done.

    55

    Claire scooped up the five dollar gold pieces and dropped them in her bag.

    56

    Cora dropped to her knees beside her and pressed Deidre's hand back to her neck.

    57

    Cora's eyes dropped, and she jerked forward.

    58

    Cynthia dropped the bundle on the sofa and held the dress up in front of the woman.

    59

    Cynthia dropped to the couch and held the cool rag to her face as a new wave of nausea clutched her stomach.

    60

    Damian dropped an envelope on the table in front of her.

    61

    Damian dropped to the floor with a roar, his eyes blurring as more fire and liquid tore through him.

    62

    Damian slashed through Jilian, and the vamp dropped.

    63

    Dan dropped beside her, and the two lifted Brady's body from her lap and stretched him out.

    64

    Dan dropped beside him, followed by Elise and the other members of their team.

    65

    Dan dropped beside him, followed by Elise.

    66

    Darcie dropped her hand, her face flushing.

    67

    Darian deflected it and dropped his hip, sweeping her legs out from under her.

    68

    Darian staggered, dropped her, and landed hard on his backside.

    69

    Darkyn dropped her hand.

    70

    Dean dropped it on his desk.

    71

    Dean dropped once more with the same bone-jarring result, this time slamming against the cliff-side with his entire right side and arm.

    72

    Dean gritted his teeth and dropped once more, just as a block of frozen mass as large as his head struck a glancing blow to his already aching shoulder.

    73

    Dean itched to ask her how she was so sure it wasn't Mr. David Dean who dropped her hubby into space but she began to sob anew, making any further conversation impossible.

    74

    Dean released his grip and dropped backward into space.

    75

    Dean swung by the Beaumont Hotel and dropped off Jennifer Radisson's camera, not unhappy to be rid of the reminder of the prior evening.

    76

    Dean vaguely remembered the eternity before voices above called his name and rescuers gracefully dropped down next to him.

    77

    Death held out her closed hand to Rhyn.  He crept forward warily and extended his.  She dropped a small green gem into it.

    78

    Deidre almost dropped her breakfast.

    79

    Deidre almost dropped it at the pictures displayed.

    80

    Deidre dropped her fork, not expecting the news.

    81

    Deidre dropped her hand quickly from the knotted skin, alarm pulsing through her.

    82

    Deidre dropped her head into her arms, sobbing.

    83

    Deidre dropped her head to her arms on the table.

    84

    Deidre reached him just as he dropped it.

    85

    Deidre sat and dropped onto her back, staring up at the sky.

    86

    Deidre's hand dropped from his chest.

    87

    Despite telling her he wouldn.t, he dropped into her thoughts to feel a little closer to her and was surprised to find she was packing to leave.

    88

    Dessalles dropped his eyes.

    89

    Dropped me in … not sure where, but Jule thinks he's in Ireland.

    90

    Edith Shipton's jaw dropped and a panicked look spread across her white face.

    91

    Elise dropped onto it with another groan.

    92

    Felipa dropped into a chair, her expression dreamy.

    93

    Four steps in, the stone bottom dropped out from under him, and he all but dropped her into the depths of the Springs.

    94

    Fred examined the small bone and handed it back to Cynthia who gingerly dropped it into a small crystal jewelry box on her bureau.

    95

    Fred said nothing and Dean finally dropped the bombshell—Chip Burgess's telephone identi­fication of Cleary-Byrne.

    96

    Frustrated, she headed to the small bedroom and dropped into the bed.

    97

    Gabe dropped his hand.

    98

    Gabe dropped it and touched his forearm, willing the soul radar to guide him to the right place.

    99

    Gabriel held her gaze a moment longer before his hands dropped, and he walked away.

    100

    Grabbing an armful of the hay they had packed around the supplies in each wagon, she dropped it on the sand and the mules eagerly began devouring it.

    101

    Halfway around, she dropped again, emerging back into the desert a few feet from the other portal.

    102

    Hannah dropped to the floor beside her, and Lankha inched away while Toby smiled.

    103

    He almost dropped the orb in his hand.

    104

    He always peeked at his friend, whom he'd dropped off in Hell to serve an undeserved sentence.

    105

    He carried it a short distance from the others and dropped it to the sand.

    106

    He changed forms in midair and dropped the half dozen feet to the ground, smelling Toby.s blood as he landed near it.

    107

    He dropped a hand to her knee.

    108

    He dropped a leather jumper similar to his on her lap and then returned to his cutting.

    109

    He dropped a light kiss on her temple then sauntered to the bar.

    110

    He dropped a perfunctory kiss on her cheek and left.

    111

    He dropped an arm around her shoulder and smiled down at her as they turned toward the barn.

    112

    He dropped down to one knee, removed the jewelry box from his jacket and opened it.

    113

    He dropped fast and changed shapes too soon, landing hard on the ground near them.

    114

    He dropped her arm and frowned.

    115

    He dropped her feet to the ground abruptly.

    116

    He dropped her finally, and she landed in a heap.

    117

    He dropped her hand and started back to the hall.

    118

    He dropped her hands and grabbed her waist, pulling her close.

    119

    He dropped his arm and stepped away.

    120

    He dropped his arm from the door and took her forearm.

    121

    He dropped his arm, and she picked her way through the bodies, covering her mouth to keep from vomiting.

    122

    He dropped his arms and turned to face her.

    123

    He dropped his arms to his sides and shook his head.

    124

    He dropped his gaze to the bandage, and he finished it in a hurry.

    125

    He dropped his gear in his suite, curious not to find Lana within.

    126

    He dropped his hand and started down the hallway.

    127

    He dropped his hand and stepped aside, motioning to the living room.

    128

    He dropped his hand from her body before he turned into a liar about letting her choose.

    129

    He dropped his hand, and Katie eased away.

    130

    He dropped his hands and stepped away, frowning down at her.

    131

    He dropped his hands and turned away, striding off to join the party.

    132

    He dropped his hands to his sides and stared at himself.

    133

    He dropped his hands.

    134

    He dropped into a chair.

    135

    He dropped into his chair and tapped the pen on his desk.

    136

    He dropped into his chair.

    137

    He dropped into the chair and glared at her.

    138

    He dropped the bale, his eyes flashing and his lips thinning.

    139

    He dropped the bill on the counter, pocketed his card, and grabbed the garment bags.

    140

    He dropped the body and retrieved the soul.

    141

    He dropped the book, anger rising.

    142

    He dropped the pen and sprang to his feet.

    143

    He dropped the portcullis and shoved the lever to turn the iron gate.

    144

    He dropped the saddle to the ground and slipped a halter over the horses' nose.

    145

    He dropped the shirt and stepped over to her.

    146

    He dropped the shovel and darted for her playfully.

    147

    He dropped the small bone in his pocket.

    148

    He dropped the sticky pouch in her hand.

    149

    He dropped the unconscious warlord and shoved the black creature into his mouth.

    150

    He dropped them onto the ground and crushed them with his heel.

    151

    He dropped to a chair and built himself a sandwich.

    152

    He dropped to a limb closer to the ground.

    153

    He dropped to his knees and wiped messily at the snot streaming from his nose and the tears frozen to his cheeks.

    154

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

    155

    He dropped to his knees on the Oriental rug with her still in his arms.

    156

    He dropped to his knees, unable to battle both influences for his balance.

    157

    He dropped to the bed and rolled away from her again.

    158

    He dropped to the ground beside them.

    159

    He dropped to the ground.

    160

    He dropped to the sand and crawled the rest of the way to the top, peering over the edge before he motioned for her to continue.

    161

    He even dropped off their room key and apologized all over for keeping it for two weeks and sticking us with storing all his junk.

    162

    He expressed no emotion, simply dropped his eyes to hers once more.

    163

    He flew to the forest and shape shifted into a jaguar as he dropped to the ground, taking off through the forest.

    164

    He gathered her warm body in his arms and smoothed away the curls that clung to his face, breathing her deep scent before he dropped into the first peaceful slumber in ages.

    165

    He glanced at the dress and dropped into a chair at the table.

    166

    He grunted as he dropped into the snow.

    167

    He nodded and dropped his arms to his sides, moving lithely away from the tree.

    168

    He nodded and his gaze dropped to the broken phone.

    169

    He planted his feet and dropped the rope in an effort to help her up.

    170

    He pulled off his sweater then dropped back onto the sparring mat, focusing hard on calming himself down.

    171

    He pushed her hair over one shoulder, and his hands dropped.

    172

    He reached for her with a grubby hand, looked at it, and dropped it.

    173

    He returned her gaze, hoping she would back off, but she continued to blatantly stare, then finally dropped the mask.

    174

    He said nothing but dropped into a fighting stance.

    175

    He said, and dropped into a recliner.

    176

    He served about a dozen years for rape in California and dropped out of sight after he was released.

    177

    He set his plate on the table and dropped into the chair.

    178

    He sighed heavily and dropped to the bed.

    179

    He staggered away from the monument and lightning connecting the woman with the clouds and dropped to his knees on the other side of the hill.

    180

    He staggered to the sofa on which Pierre was sitting and dropped onto it, covering his face with his hand.

    181

    He struggled to free his arms from the invisible bonds, his eyesight darkening until he dropped into unconsciousness.

    182

    He took the wood from her arms and dropped it into the wood box.

    183

    He yelled and dropped it.

    184

    Her breath caught at the sight of his wide, muscular chest, and the pants that dropped dangerously low on his hips.

    185

    Her eyes dropped to it.

    186

    Her eyes dropped to what was left of the other three then flew up to the wall.

    187

    Her face deepened to crimson, and her dilating eyes dropped to his lips before flying up again.

    188

    Her gaze dropped to her plate, and she stared at the runny beans and floating rice.

    189

    Her gaze dropped to his large hand.

    190

    Her gaze dropped to Megan's ringless hand and a smile played at the corners of her mouth.

    191

    Her gaze dropped to the driver's seat, where a small black military radio sat where none had been when she left the car.

    192

    Her gaze dropped to the feast before them.

    193

    Her hand dropped from her eyes to reveal a furry, fanged monster from a nightmare framed against the light.

    194

    Her hand dropped to her side, fingernails digging into the meat of her palms.

    195

    Her hand dropped, and she eyed a credenza that swept close to her head.

    196

    Her hand dropped, though she didn't acknowledge him otherwise.

    197

    Her hands shook, and she dropped the keys.

    198

    Her head spun as her blood dropped from her head to her body, and she sat heavily.

    199

    Her heart dropped to her stomach, and she ran.

    200

    Her heart leapt then dropped to her feet when she realized a man like that didn't call.

    201

    Her heart soared, and she dropped it, kneeling beside him.

    202

    Her knees finally gave way and she dropped into the chair.

    203

    Her mouth dropped open, and Talon murmured a curse.

    204

    Her mouth dropped open.

    205

    Her mouth watered, and her eyes dropped to the source.

    206

    Her position at the table shifted as the program grew more complex; she dropped her feet to the ground and leaned forward, taking in the rapidly changing situation.

    207

    Her sister dropped the portfolio.

    208

    Her stomach dropped at the thought of him, and her eyes watered.

    209

    Her stomach fell as they dropped.

    210

    His arms dropped to his side and he rubbed the back of his neck again.

    211

    His attention dropped to the floor.

    212

    His com­pany went belly up only days after he dropped dead spackling the front hall of his 87th house, a bi-level on Friar Tuck Drive.

    213

    His dark eyes dropped to Kiera's features.

    214

    His dark eyes dropped to the whiskey.

    215

    His gaze dropped reflectively to the coffee cup and he swirled the coffee around in it absently.

    216

    His gaze dropped to her arm as he walked over to her.

    217

    His gaze dropped to her face and wandered over it.

    218

    His gaze dropped to her lips, and his thumb followed, grazing the sensitive skin.

    219

    His gaze dropped to her muddy clothes.

    220

    His gaze dropped to her neck and he reached out, lifting her chin to examine it.

    221

    His gaze dropped to her nightgown and his brows lifted.

    222

    His gaze dropped to her waist and an eyebrow shot up.

    223

    His gaze dropped to the necklaces at her neck before he stepped aside.

    224

    His gaze dropped to the thin, stubborn line that was her mouth and then to her scarf.

    225

    His gaze dropped to the trench he had dug around the bush.

    226

    His hand dropped from her arm and she opened the door.

    227

    His hand dropped from her face.

    228

    His hand dropped to her shoulder and he squeezed it.

    229

    His hand dropped to his side and his eyes flashed with anger.

    230

    His head dropped back against the ground in relief.

    231

    His head dropped back against the headrest, and she sped up.

    232

    His head flew off in one direction while his body dropped.

    233

    His heart dropped at the words.

    234

    His mouth dropped open in wonder as he took in his own physicality.

    235

    His mouth dropped open, and disbelief crossed his features.

    236

    His silver gaze was on his foes then dropped to her.

    237

    His warm hands dropped to her waist and slid to the back, pulling her gently against him.

    238

    Horrified, Jenn's mother dropped to her knees, sobbing.

    239

    Hour by hour the flakes dropped silently, softly from their airy height to the earth, and the country became more and more level.

    240

    Hours later, she dropped onto the plush guest bed, clad in a T-shirt and underwear after a hot shower.

    241

    Howard dropped her hand like it was a hot coal.

    242

    I could always tell if visitors had called in my absence, either by the bended twigs or grass, or the print of their shoes, and generally of what sex or age or quality they were by some slight trace left, as a flower dropped, or a bunch of grass plucked and thrown away, even as far off as the railroad, half a mile distant, or by the lingering odor of a cigar or pipe.

    243

    I dropped my women off at the terminal entrance of Logan Airport, amid kisses and a promise to see them in twenty-four hours.

    244

    I dropped the salt shaker behind the stove.

    245

    I dropped to the ground as he yanked the phone from its base and flung it across the room.

    246

    I was all set to have a few more at the motel and a big dinner but he begged off—just dropped me at my place.

    247

    Immediately she dropped to the ground.

    248

    In darkness again, he dropped his hands.

    249

    In despair she had dropped the subject for the time, only to renew it at the first opportunity.

    250

    In dropped Fred O'Connor looking like a New York commuter during a subway strike.

    251

    In her room, she dropped on the bed and threw her arms out, sinking into its softness.

    252

    In my excitement, I dropped the composition book.

    253

    Instantly the hand dropped and he turned back down the trail, speaking over his shoulder.

    254

    Instead, his hand dropped to her shoulder, and he pulled her against him.

    255

    It dropped to the ground and slid into the underbrush.

    256

    It flung her against a tree then dropped her.

    257

    It seemed that she had barely dropped off to sleep, before someone was pounding on her door.

    258

    It was dark by the time the cab dropped her off in front of the high rise where she shared an apartment with Logan.

    259

    It would blend in with everything around her if she dropped it.

    260

    It's like someone dropped a stone in the lake.

    261

    It's safer here, and the supplies are dropped off every day about this time, Kelli explained.

    262

    Jackson closed his eyes and dropped his head back.

    263

    Jackson dropped his head and rubbed his forehead for a moment, then looked up at her grimacing.

    264

    Jackson dropped his head back on the sofa.

    265

    Jackson glared at her for a moment, then dropped her and ran.

    266

    Jake turned and stared at him, dropped an awkward bow, and straightened, his mouth lax.

    267

    Joan dropped the tablet to her lap.

    268

    Josh dropped his arms and turned away.

    269

    Jule's gaze dropped to the blanket-covered body laid carefully on the living room floor.

    270

    Just because I dropped at your feet whenever you called for five years doesn't mean I'll do it now.

    271

    Katie dropped by the next morning and left the twins for the day.

    272

    Katie followed, trailed closely by Deidre.  The sounds of their escape were nothing compared to the sounds of what followed.  Katie cast a look over her shoulder and saw several demons had dropped into the jungle and transformed into panther-like forms.  She stopped and reached into the pouch slung across her chest.

    273

    Katie's mouth dropped open, and she began to realize something was very, very wrong.

    274

    Kiera grabbed the prisoner's tunic, staring in horror as the ground dropped from beneath them.

    275

    Lacy's mouth dropped open.

    276

    Lana hid between the boulders, gaze glued to the area where the laser missiles dropped.

    277

    Lana stared at the hole, surprised, and dropped even lower.

    278

    Lana's hand went instinctively to the pocket with her micro before she dropped it.

    279

    Let's see if you can make it through the month, he said and dropped the cell.

    280

    Lisa dropped back to the bed.

    281

    Lisa dropped her pad and pencil on the couch and crossed the room, wondering who might be calling her on his telephone and why Yancey was screening her calls.

    282

    Looks like they dropped off the face of the earth.

    283

    Loosening his tie, he dropped into the leather office chair and picked up the envelope.

    284

    Lost in thought, she dropped her gaze to her hands as Darian's warmth moved through her body, healing her.

    285

    Mansr dropped to his knees as the earth continued to tremble.

    286

    Martha's voice dropped to a whisper as she pointed to a rickety staircase.

    287

    Maybe it was left up there to implicate you, but there's a good chance it was just plain dropped by accident.

    288

    Megan lifted the receiver and dropped change into the slot.

    289

    Memories of almost being raped, of Brady killing someone in front of her … Her chest seized, and she dropped to her knees.

    290

    My heart dropped when I saw the look on her face.

    291

    My jaw dropped as she continued.

    292

    No, I had a dropped call from her earlier, but when I called back it went straight to voice mail.

    293

    Nope. We were damaged goods when we were dropped onto this planet.

    294

    Once there, she dropped her head to Jackson's lap and quickly fell asleep.

    295

    Pete threw his feet over the wagon seat and dropped to the ground.

    296

    Pierre dropped beside her, muttering.

    297

    Pierre dropped them off in front, waiting until they stepped across the entrance before driving off.

    298

    Pushing the door open with his foot, he dropped the contents of his arms on the bed and opened the dresser drawers.

    299

    Quint dropped his head.

    300

    Quint dropped into the seat and started the engine.

    301

    Rhyn dropped back to stare at the sky.

    302

    Rhyn.s heart dropped to his feet, and he looked at Katie.

    303

    Rissa blocked the blow of the second and dropped, rolling as an axe split the ground near her head.

    304

    Rostov felt Denisov's gaze fixed on him, raised his eyes, and instantly dropped them again.

    305

    Saying this he again turned round, dropped his hands, took the bottle and lifted it to his lips, threw back his head, and raised his free hand to balance himself.

    306

    Scaling the wall once again, she dropped to her feet and was still for a long moment, using her senses to see if anyone was there.

    307

    Several times his head dropped low as if it were falling and he dozed off.

    308

    She agreed and dropped them off at Katie's on the way home.

    309

    She all but dropped into the commo sector chair and issued mayday calls on the emergency net.

    310

    She climbed into her wagon and dropped onto the hard seat.

    311

    She darted to the other side of the bed and dropped to her stomach, peering under the bed through the door.

    312

    She donned a long nightgown and dropped into bed.

    313

    She dozed as she drew, caught herself twice, then dropped into sleep, unaware that those who removed the boxes were coming next for her.

    314

    She dropped a hand to his shoulder and squeezed it.

    315

    She dropped a note into the absent secretary.s inbox then went to the first basement level, which housed supplies, clothing, and other essentials in the form of small department stores whose wares were free to all Immortals.

    316

    She dropped back on her heels, staring up at him in surprise.

    317

    She dropped back on the hay and wrinkled her nose at him.

    318

    She dropped back to her pillow and yawned The sound caught her by surprise - a blood-curdling scream that could be nothing less than a woman in agonizing pain.

    319

    She dropped beside him and rolled him onto his back.

    320

    She dropped beside him, crying, shaking, terrified, and found he was unconscious.

    321

    She dropped her arm and gazed up at him, troubled and lightheaded.

    322

    She dropped her arm.

    323

    She dropped her arms and gave a long sigh, meeting his gaze.

    324

    She dropped her arms, tipping her head back to search his face for the reason.

    325

    She dropped her bag off and joined him in the hallway.

    326

    She dropped her book and laughed.

    327

    She dropped her eyelids to avoid Jackson's gaze.

    328

    She dropped her gaze and said softly, "What I would really like is for you to play for me."

    329

    She dropped her gaze and tensed slightly.

    330

    She dropped her gaze.

    331

    She dropped her glass in the sink and took a step backward.

    332

    She dropped her hand and closed her eyes, bracing herself.

    333

    She dropped her hand and prayed the sensations within her left.

    334

    She dropped her hand from his chest, needing to think.

    335

    She dropped her head back to the blanket.

    336

    She dropped her lids again.

    337

    She dropped her plate into the sink with a loud clatter.

    338

    She dropped her shirt, startled when Katie flung her arms around her in another tight hug.

    339

    She dropped her things by the wardrobe and crossed to it, softening.

    340

    She dropped instinctively to the ground.

    341

    She dropped into her chair, shaking.

    342

    She dropped into the chair and scooted it forward.

    343

    She dropped Jonathan off and told him to meet her at a specific time and place.

    344

    She dropped on one knee beside Toby, who was unconscious.

    345

    She dropped Sarah's hands and looked up, spotting Jackson.

    346

    She dropped the cloth and moved to the next object, which was obviously a painting.

    347

    She dropped the cloth as she heard tires crunching on gravel.

    348

    She dropped the hair she'd been holding up and wrapped the towel around her tightly.

    349

    She dropped the lid smartly and glanced up with a grin.

    350

    She dropped the mug and stood as one transfixed.

    351

    She dropped the package on the bed and eagerly tore back the brown paper wrapping.

    352

    She dropped the picture in his lap and watched his reaction.

    353

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

    354

    She dropped the stick and touched his shoulders.

    355

    She dropped the sumac bush.

    356

    She dropped the wood and screamed before she realized it was only a young cat.

    357

    She dropped to her feet and moved away.

    358

    She dropped to her knee and pretended to retie her shoe.

    359

    She dropped to her knees and sobbed, unable to control her pain and fear.

    360

    She dropped to her knees beside him and pushed him onto his back.

    361

    She dropped to her knees, the vision of Logan's faceless body forefront in her thoughts.

    362

    She dropped to her knees.

    363

    She dropped to her pillow, wondering if she was the only one who thought their exchange across the living room ended the quarrel.

    364

    She dropped to his side and fluttered kisses across his face.

    365

    She dropped to the floor in front of the fireplace and crossed her legs.

    366

    She dropped to the ground, senseless.

    367

    She dropped to the sand as a hail of bullets whistled above her head.

    368

    She dropped to the snow, clutching her knee and moaning.

    369

    She dropped, her head ringing.

    370

    She dropped, surprised and disgusted when one hand landed in what was a human or creature at one point.

    371

    She finally dropped to the floor and put her arms around him.

    372

    She gasped and dropped it.

    373

    She gasped and dropped to her knees, unable to see in the inky blackness around her.

    374

    She gasped and dropped, crying out when the second arrow tore into her.

    375

    She looked away fast for fear of the sizzling blue gaze and dropped to her knees in front of Darian, pulling his hands from his face to see the wound.

    376

    She might as well have been dropped out of the sky by a clumsy stork.

    377

    She possessed an "outie" navel that looked like a cherry tomato had dropped down her too-tight tee shirt and landed on the top of the hill.

    378

    She pulled away from the warriors and dropped beside him, more comfortable on the ground than trying to navigate the shaking earth on her feet.

    379

    She pulled on a set and dropped into the bed, exhausted.

    380

    She pulled the window open and dropped in, glancing around to make sure she was alone.

    381

    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.

    382

    She relaxed, dropped back down on the sofa, and nodded toward the front closet.

    383

    She released his arm only to grab it again as one of the buggy wheels dropped into a pothole.

    384

    She returned the coffeepot to the stove and dropped to the bench opposite him.

    385

    She rinsed a plate and dropped the subject.

    386

    She rinsed a potato and dropped it in the kettle.

    387

    She rolled her eyes at him and dropped her hand.

    388

    She said it with a snarl, and then dropped her eyes.

    389

    She seemed to have dropped any form of common sense somewhere between Hell and her world.

    390

    She shook her head and dropped back on the pillow.

    391

    She sighed and dropped it on the table.

    392

    She sighed heavily and dropped her forehead to her forearms on the steering wheel.

    393

    She slung a towel over her shoulder and dropped into a deep bow before him.

    394

    She stared at him, backing out of his reach until the back of her knees hit a chair and she dropped into it.

    395

    She stepped into his view, and he dropped his arms, throwing back his head to suck in deep breaths.

    396

    She stepped over it, slipped on pebbles, and dropped with a gasp as pain slammed through her knees.

    397

    She stopped at the edge of where the clear water dropped suddenly into impenetrable blue depths.

    398

    She threw her leg over the horse and dropped to the ground in a swirl of skirts.

    399

    She took a quick step back and he dropped his hands.

    400

    She turned to leave the room and briefly dropped the robe off one side to flash a bare shoulder.

    401

    She visited the small café and dropped three boxed lunches into a tote bag along with extra cocoa and marshmallows in case Toby woke up soon.

    402

    She was floating again, and she dropped to her feet.

    403

    She was putting plates on the table when the school bus dropped Jonathan off.

    404

    She went up to him and with a swift, flexible, youthful movement dropped on her knees.

    405

    She wore black leggings and a mini-skirt with a dropped waistline.

    406

    She'd thought he dropped it; maybe he hadn't.

    407

    Since he'd dropped into seclusion there were any number of times I could have used his council.

    408

    Sobbing, she dropped to her knees.

    409

    Sofi dropped to her knees, holding her stomach.

    410

    Sofia dropped her backpack onto the kitchen counter, taking in the damage.

    411

    Sofia followed and dropped into the grass beside Traci.

    412

    Someone dropped it when they switched the bones for the ones Fitzgerald found!

    413

    Something dropped on the ground beside her and she opened her eyes.

    414

    Something furry dropped into Kiera's lap.

    415

    Startled, he loosened his grip as he tried to snatch her arm and nearly dropped her.

    416

    Taking a sip of the wine colored liquid, he sat the glass in a coaster on the smooth mahogany desk and dropped the letter beside it.

    417

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

    418

    Taran dropped his knees to the floor.

    419

    That fellow's dropped his sack and doesn't see it.

    420

    That was exactly how Dean felt after he dropped off Cynthia Byrne at her empty house.

    421

    The bear dropped down on all fours and growled at her offspring, who dashed back into the trees.

    422

    The branch obliged him and passed him upwards to another, which stretched him as far up as it could reach.  Then dropped him.  Toby yelped as he fell.  Another branch caught him and lifted him upwards again.

    423

    The cab dropped her off, and she went to the side entrance to buzz in as Wynn directed in his text.

    424

    The count started and dropped the snuffbox.

    425

    The dark shadow was Princess Mary, who had come up to the cot with noiseless steps, lifted the curtain, and dropped it again behind her.

    426

    The driver said nothing the rest of the way and dropped them off in front of her apartment complex without asking for directions.

    427

    The full demon dropped the book in his hands and lurched to his feet.

    428

    The Gabriel she remembered would've dropped it and left.

    429

    The ground dropped out from under her, and she arrived back into the mortal world.

    430

    The ground dropped out from under her, and she landed in the desert on her belly.

    431

    The heat of the desert disappeared as he dropped through the portal to the immortal world.

    432

    The helicopter dropped and caught.

    433

    The helicopter dropped suddenly, and she thought she'd vomit.

    434

    The hunger abated, and she dropped her head back to the pillow, satisfied.

    435

    The images faded and morphed back into words that dropped to the pages.

    436

    The jets came from the west, beyond the river, a realization that didn't register until the ground shook under the impact of the first laser missile strike dropped.

    437

    The line was silent for so long that she checked her phone to see if the call had been dropped.

    438

    The maid dropped silently, her nose busted and blood splattered across her features.

    439

    The man at her back dropped, followed immediately by the other two.

    440

    The next morning when the men were getting ready to leave, they dropped the key by and thanked Carmen and Felipa for their help.

    441

    The night ripped in two with another scream, startling her so bad that she dropped the flashlight.

    442

    The nurse dropped her and Toby off, and they trudged to her apartment.

    443

    The phone rang several times and then dropped the call.

    444

    The pod dropped fast toward the surface, the sight of the spinning world beneath her sickening.

    445

    The pod jolted and dropped, the sickening sense making her nauseous.

    446

    The pterodactyl dropped and caught itself, coasting in the sea breeze.

    447

    The publican, taking advantage of the increased crowd, dropped behind and returned to his tavern.

    448

    The rays of the sun fell upon the trees, so that the twigs sparkled like diamonds and dropped in showers when we touched them.

    449

    The robed man dropped her body on the bed, sealed the cage, and turned to Rhyn.

    450

    The slope dropped at a precarious angle, impossible to maneuver unsecured, only a few degrees from the perpendicular.

    451

    The smile dropped as quickly as it had appeared.

    452

    The spell was broken like a dropped mirror on a marble floor.

    453

    The telephone rang and she dropped the hoe, racing for the house.

    454

    The three bands lit up and faded, and all three men dropped their arms.

    455

    The tree dropped, caught, and dropped him again, catching him half a second before he hit the ground.  He landed on his back at Ully's feet.  The scientist knelt beside him, one hand on his head.

    456

    The vamp dropped it.

    457

    The wild dog cried out sharply once and dropped.

    458

    The woman's gaze dropped to her neck, and Katie caught the troubled look in her eyes before she hid it.

    459

    The youth had dropped into a dark hole in the floor of the facility.

    460

    Then Martha dropped the bombshell.

    461

    Then she dropped on the ground and asked for its name and pointed to the pump and the trellis, and suddenly turning round she asked for my name.

    462

    They dropped her to the floor.

    463

    They dropped him into a black hole, and

    464

    They dropped Jonathan off and drove straight to the hospital.

    465

    They dropped the subject and Carmen suggested Felipa take the children out for ice cream.

    466

    They gathered the fallen leaves that dropped of themselves from that withered tree--the French army--and sometimes shook that tree itself.

    467

    Toby dropped his coat in

    468

    Too weak to continue, she dropped to her knees.

    469

    Traveling to the portal between worlds, the guardsman took one last look around then dropped through the gateway to the immortal world.

    470

    Truly thrilled about the start to her new life, she folded the phone and dropped it into her pocket.

    471

    Two dropped his arms to his side.

    472

    Ully was dropped to the ground at Toby's command.  He hurried back to the Immortal, worried he'd be hurt.  Ully was unconscious.

    473

    Upon noticing Jackson, the dog dropped to all fours and approached him slowly.

    474

    Vara's hand dropped from his sword hilt, and he stared hard at her.

    475

    We dropped Howie off at his hotel as he gushed his thanks.

    476

    What was going on behind those fantastic eyes, she couldn't say, but Pete's jaw must have dropped a mile.

    477

    When Alex came in for his breakfast, he dropped into his chair and took one long look at her.

    478

    When Carmen or Alex dropped by unexpectedly, she was happy – until she saw them.

    479

    When Connie continued to watch her dubiously, Lisa dropped to the bed and sighed heavily.

    480

    When he didn't answer, she dropped the mop in the bucket and looked at his face to see if he was angry.

    481

    When he saw her, he dropped to her side, deep concern in his eyes.

    482

    When her attention was drawn to a marble slab inscribed with the name FLORENCE in relief, she dropped upon the ground as though looking for something, then turned to me with a face full of trouble, and asked, "Were is poor little Florence?"

    483

    When Rob dropped his arm and stepped back, Alex glanced at Gerald, who looked uncomfortable.

    484

    When Rostov entered the room, the princess dropped her eyes for an instant, as if to give the visitor time to greet her aunt, and then just as Nicholas turned to her she raised her head and met his look with shining eyes.

    485

    When she dropped it, he bent.

    486

    When she started fussing, Alex dropped his arms, looking dejected.

    487

    When she turned her attention to him, he dropped the cigarette on the ground and rubbed it out with the toe of his shoe.

    488

    When the warring men careened away, she ran to Jonny and dropped beside him.

    489

    While helmets provide little protection in a serious fall, they're a must to shield you from junk dropped or dislodged from above you.

    490

    Why couldn't whoever cut the rope have just dropped the knife by mistake?

    491

    With a final glance at the approaching figures, she dropped from the wagon seat and sauntered over to join the men at the cook fire.

    492

    With a grimace, he dropped it into his pocket.

    493

    With a groan, she dropped back onto the bed, her head pounding.

    494

    With a husky breath, she dropped to his lap, dove both hands into his hair and pulled his head back, planting a hard kiss on his lips.

    495

    With the air cleared, he dropped the subject and moved on to more pleasant conversation.

    496

    Within a four-hour period, Hannah had dropped $50K.

    497

    Without another word, the creature dropped.

    498

    You dropped me into this world, and he's kept me alive.

    499

    You.re as tough as an egg dropped from a ten-story building.

    500

    You've been dropped into the middle of a war no human knows about.
