Him in A Sentence

    1

    A 24-hour guard wasn't possible and arresting him would only make him more dangerous.

    2

    A boat was at the landing, ready to take him on board.

    3

    A man who has at length found something to do will not need to get a new suit to do it in; for him the old will do, that has lain dusty in the garret for an indeterminate period.

    4

    A part of her might never forgive him for what he did... and that was a dark part of her personality that she didn't want him to see.

    5

    A sailor brought them to Los Angeles and I gave him nine tickets to the circus for them.

    6

    A simple shake of the head obviously didn't satisfy him.

    7

    A sob tore at her throat, and she slung the clothes at him.

    8

    Adraksin was in uniform, and whether as a result of the uniform or from some other cause Pierre saw before him quite a different man.

    9

    Again she glanced up at him.

    10

    Ahead of him was the possibility of a jail sentence.

    11

    Alex admired the breasts - which probably rated him right up there with the majority of men.

    12

    Alex eyed him suspiciously.

    13

    Alex finally looked at him.

    14

    Alex glanced up at him and then his expression turned sour.

    15

    Alex glared at him.

    16

    Alex had never mentioned him.

    17

    Alex handed him the cream and sat down in his chair.

    18

    Alex introduced Jonathan and their welcome to him was equally warm.

    19

    Alex pointed his fork at her and opened his mouth to speak, but Carmen cut him off.

    20

    Alex pulled her too him, his lips seeking hers hungrily.

    21

    Alex smiled down at him in a reassuring way.

    22

    Alex stared at him.

    23

    Alex stood and turned away from him, staring out the window.

    24

    Alex told her to call him back if she didn't give birth in an hour.

    25

    Alex treated him to a wry smile.

    26

    Alex tried to pay, but she wouldn't let him.

    27

    Alfonso assured him that it was no big deal - that Señor Medena would pay for it because he had lots of money.

    28

    All I know is that he's temperamental, and you'd better stay away from him.

    29

    All she was doing was reminding him how powerless he was.

    30

    Allen couldn't be rejected, so he belittled her intelligence, the close relationship with her family and accused her of cheating on him.

    31

    Alondra smiled up at him in a way that suggested their relationship went farther than employment extended.

    32

    And don't tell me you aren't playing house with him.

    33

    And now she had put herself in a position where she would be alone with him in the car.

    34

    And yet, every time she saw him, he was on his horse, ATV or in his car.

    35

    And yet, she had honored her promise to go with him to the party the next night.

    36

    And you obey him?

    37

    Anna Pavlovna arranged a group round him, inviting everyone to listen to his tale.

    38

    Anna Pavlovna was obviously serving him up as a treat to her guests.

    39

    Anyway, hadn't Giddon said that he wouldn't let anything happen to her as long as she was close to him?

    40

    Are you sweet on him?

    41

    As his grip on her relaxed, she stepped away from him, a flush creeping up her neck.

    42

    As if Matthew thought the encouragement was intended for him, he latched onto her breast, creating a suction that sent tiny bubbles down the feeding tube.

    43

    As if she hadn't been a burden in enough ways, now she had Mrs. Giddon upset with him.

    44

    As she brushed by him on her way to her room to dress, she asked over her shoulder.

    45

    As she turned to go into the room, she glanced back at him.

    46

    As she walked away from him, she let her hips swing slightly.

    47

    As the dance came to an end, she gazed up at him.

    48

    At first the piglet stuck in the neck of the vase and I thought I should get him, after all, but he wriggled himself through and fell down into the deep bottom part--and I suppose he's there yet.

    49

    At six I passed him and his family on the road.

    50

    Avoiding his eyes as she walked past him, she tried not to limp.

    51

    Being able to discuss such things with him was as comforting as it was new.

    52

    Being groped by him again wasn't something she was looking forward to.

    53

    Bondone was surprised when Cimabue offered to take his little boy to Florence and teach him to be a great painter.

    54

    But Cimabue only praised him for his great skill.

    55

    But Dorothy sprang up and ran to seize her friend's hand drawing him impulsively toward the lovely Princess, who smiled most graciously upon her guest.

    56

    But he did not wish the little girl to think him a coward, so he advanced slowly to the edge of the roof.

    57

    But if you could trust him this way and there was no electricity, would it still be love?

    58

    But no, he had Diablo with him – or did he?

    59

    But the horse did not buck him off.

    60

    But then, if Tessa didn't marry him, why didn't Dulce tell him about the baby?

    61

    But then, it was like him not to reveal his thoughts or concerns – unless the mood hit him.

    62

    But you sent him to get information about Yancey, didn't you?

    63

    Carmen abandoned the garden and followed him into the house.

    64

    Carmen caught her breath and stared at him.

    65

    Carmen detached Matthew from her nipple and handed him to Alex, who sat down beside her.

    66

    Carmen gazed up at him innocently.

    67

    Carmen gazed up at him, shaking her head.

    68

    Carmen glanced up at him and he smiled.

    69

    Carmen leaned back in his arms and smiled up at him.

    70

    Carmen leaned on her pillow and watched him dress for bed.

    71

    Carmen left her chair in one quick movement and circled his neck with her arms, kissing him on the temple.

    72

    Carmen remained quiet for a few minutes, allowing him to think about it.

    73

    Carmen rubbed her sore neck and searched the room for Alex again, but didn't find him.

    74

    Carmen rushed to him, but found that he was either asleep or passed out.

    75

    Carmen smiled as she leaned over to kiss him.

    76

    Carmen smiled at him.

    77

    Carmen smiled up at him.

    78

    Carmen stared at him, trying to follow his runaway thought train.

    79

    Carmen stared at him.

    80

    Carmen stood and put her arms around him.

    81

    Carmen stood looking after him and then sighed.

    82

    Carmen thought she wanted him to make the decisions, but she wanted to be involved with the process.

    83

    Carmen waited until after the children were in bed before questioning him.

    84

    Carmen was looking at someone behind the camera and Alex was looking at a girl who stood about five feet from him.

    85

    Carmen watched him absently.

    86

    Certainly she had given him no reason to believe she would.

    87

    Chancing a glance at his face, she found him watching her in a strange way.

    88

    Come to think of it, maybe that thought troubled him as well.

    89

    Connie caught her breath So you were the one who told him how to get to the house.

    90

    Connie glanced from him to Lisa.

    91

    Cupping a hand to her mouth, she turned away from him.

    92

    Destiny jumped up and charged him.

    93

    Destiny was a little lady, waiting until he came into the kitchen before plowing into him.

    94

    Did he know she was attracted to him?

    95

    Don't keep him waiting.

    96

    Dorothy kept hold of his hand and followed him, and soon they were both walking through the air, with the kitten frisking beside them.

    97

    Dorothy was captured in the same way, and numbers of the Gargoyles clung to Jim's legs, so weighting him down that the poor beast was helpless.

    98

    Drawing a deep breath, she finally called to him.

    99

    Each of them hugged him and talked briefly to Destiny.

    100

    Eureka quickly followed him, and soon they were all standing together upon the platform, with eight of the much prized wooden wings beside them.

    101

    Even Katie noticed the change in him and asked Carmen about the cause.

    102

    Even though you know nothing about him, you accept.

    103

    Examining the envelope, she replied without looking at him.

    104

    Facing him again was an unbearable thought.

    105

    Felipa kicked her horse into a lope and rode up beside him.

    106

    Finally she spotted him talking to his father.

    107

    Finally she spotted him, plastered against the fence, watching Alex.

    108

    Focusing on his profile, she willed him to look her way.

    109

    For a moment she surrendered to his warm lips and secure embrace, clinging to him as her heart stepped up pace.

    110

    For the first time the memory of how he reacted when she told him she was pregnant wasn't a painful one.

    111

    Frustrating as it was - as he was - it would do no good to question him further.

    112

    Gerald had to leave, but you met him.

    113

    Getting information about him from Katie is too much work.

    114

    Glancing around to see if Yancey was gone, she spotted him disappearing around the bend, on his way to the house.

    115

    Has Tessa tried to get custody of him?

    116

    Have you discovered anything more about him yet?

    117

    He agreed to take the boy with him and teach him how to be a good sailor.

    118

    He asked her to go back to Houston with him, enticing her with rides on the beach - and love all night.

    119

    He began making queer signs and passes toward the Wizard; but the little man did not watch him long.

    120

    He carefully picked up the box and Yancey followed him out to the car.

    121

    He did not act as if it was bothering him.

    122

    He did not hear her soft breathing as she stood over him and watched him finish the wonderful drawing.

    123

    He didn't comment, but several times that evening she caught him watching her with a reflective expression.

    124

    He didn't like a police officer there – or her leaving with him, but what could he say?

    125

    He flinched visibly as if she had slapped him, his fingers tightening on her arm.

    126

    He glanced up and caught her watching him.

    127

    He grabbed her arm and turned her around to face him.

    128

    He grabbed her shoulders, pulling her roughly against him and kissed her lips in a demanding way that roused more anger than anything else.

    129

    He had died by the time I read that passage in one of his books, so I couldn't write him, as is my normal practice when an author's words puzzle me.

    130

    He knew exactly what he wanted and I told him we would buy it for him.

    131

    He knew that she did not wish him to go.

    132

    He knew the way to it, and a servant followed him, carrying his satchel.

    133

    He leaned forward, his hand finding her waist, and drew her toward him.

    134

    He looked as if she had hit him in the stomach.

    135

    He opened his mouth to speak but she interrupted him.

    136

    He probably thought she had led him on.

    137

    He said he felt bad about it, but conceded that Tessa had been less than honest with him on more than one occasion.

    138

    He shall have all the rooms in the house, and the ladies' parlor, too, I'll go right round to the Planters' and fetch him back.

    139

    He sighed and rubbed his head as though the whole idea gave him a headache.

    140

    He slung the dishtowel over his shoulder and one long step brought him to a point where she was pinned in the corner of the counter.

    141

    He stepped closer, slipping his other hand around her waist, and pulled her gently against him.

    142

    He stood, and when she looked up at him, he leaned down and kissed her lips.

    143

    He touched her arm and she moved away from him.

    144

    He walked up and down the river bank, leading his horse behind him; but he kept his eyes turned always toward the dim, dark spot which he knew was the old North Church.

    145

    He was a great admirer of Dean Swift, and took pleasure in sending him presents of game.

    146

    He was a very old man, bent nearly double; but the queerest thing about him was his white hair and beard.

    147

    He was answered by a voice which informed him of the resolution just arrived at.

    148

    He was dead on when he said she was more afraid of her emotions than him.

    149

    He was only a little more weather-beaten than when I saw him last.

    150

    He was only supposed to be investigating him.

    151

    He'd forget her, but she wouldn't forget him.

    152

    He's a big horse, but I couldn't make him carry the two of us in that terrain.

    153

    He's always been secretive, and whenever I ask him, he just tells me it's something I don't want to be involved in.

    154

    His chuckle was soft as he pulled her gently against him.

    155

    His enemy, Henry, who wished to be king, was pressing him hard.

    156

    His father was never able to get custody of him as a child.

    157

    His feelings for her were as genuine as hers for him.

    158

    His methods had probably died with him; and if they had not, how was a little girl in a far-off town in Alabama to receive the benefit of them?

    159

    Hopefully the fact that help was on the way would make him reconsider any violent action.

    160

    How could she blame him?

    161

    How embarrassing it must be for him.

    162

    Howard came in and stopped him.

    163

    Howard gave him a strange look.

    164

    Howard said the police wouldn't tell him anything about you.

    165

    I called him Black Beauty, as I had just read the book, and he resembled his namesake in every way, from his glossy black coat to the white star on his forehead.

    166

    I can't really blame him.

    167

    I couldn't even imagine him in a comma.

    168

    I didn't send him.

    169

    I do not tell him.

    170

    I don't want a shadow hanging over him.

    171

    I find it hard to believe you wouldn't help him if you could.

    172

    I gave him some orange juice.

    173

    I haven't even seen him since the funeral.

    174

    I heard him harassing you.

    175

    I imagine because Howard sent him.

    176

    I keep telling him that as long as he gives her money, she'll never get out of trouble, but he just says she's the only sister he has and he has the money.

    177

    I knew because he proved to me that I could trust him with my heart and soul - the way you trust your mother and father.

    178

    I left a message for him to check on you.

    179

    I looked up Andy Gordon and found lots of pictures of his paintings, but no pictures of him, and very little information about him.

    180

    I met him as he rode into town, and he said that he intended to stop at this hotel.

    181

    I never instructed him to ask you anything.

    182

    I never thought of him as being anything else but a salesman until I saw him tonight, but he seems so... comfortable now.

    183

    I see no point in telling him.

    184

    I sent him round to the Planters'.

    185

    I should have known how you felt about him.

    186

    I suspected him right from the start.

    187

    I think I love him.

    188

    I told him I didn't know anything and he tried to strangle me.

    189

    I went to Lathum and told him what I had.

    190

    I will go out and make believe that I am bringing him a present.

    191

    I worked with him for two years before I discovered who he really was.

    192

    I've never seen him this way before.

    193

    If Alex felt the need to protect her from Gerald, maybe she shouldn't be dancing with him.

    194

    If he thought Alex was warming to him, he saw more than she did.

    195

    If he was going to start throwing things, she had no intention of staying there in the kitchen alone with him.

    196

    If I didn't want to do what he said I'd tell him so - and he would listen to my reasons.

    197

    If my work slowed down, that was a loss of dollars for him.

    198

    If she was wrong about him... but how could she be?

    199

    If she was, why was she constantly questioning him?

    200

    In fact, I think my big mouth made him all the more determined.

    201

    In the closets he discovered many fancy costumes of rich velvets and brocades, and one of the attendants told him to dress himself in any of the clothes that pleased him and to be prepared to dine with the Princess and Dorothy in an hour's time.

    202

    Instead of keeping still, so I could eat him comfortably, he trembled so with fear that he fell off the table into a big vase that was standing on the floor.

    203

    Interestingly, political cartoons of the era, both for and against FDR, showed him unaffected by the disease.

    204

    It didn't take long for him to get home, and when he came in from the garage, he went directly to his gun cabinet and took out a rifle.

    205

    It had been foolish to climb into the car with him.

    206

    It had provided the opportunity for him to accuse her of being unfaithful.

    207

    It hurts him when you say... things.

    208

    It looked like the envelope the man in the black car had given him.

    209

    It meant a good deal to him to secure a home like this.

    210

    It might have been something she would suspect if she had ever seen him in the pool.

    211

    It simply wasn't like him to be rude like that.

    212

    It suddenly occurred to me that he might make a delightful pet; so I seized him by the tail with both hands and carried him home.

    213

    It was hardly fair to shift that responsibility solely to him.

    214

    It was possible that his father had given up on him.

    215

    It was something she had always liked about him, mostly because he was sincere about it.

    216

    It was time for him to embrace it.

    217

    It was true, she didn't know him.

    218

    It was Yancey standing outside that shop, and with him were the man from the building and Allen.

    219

    It wasn't easy to walk away from him – especially now.

    220

    It wasn't jealousy that troubled him.

    221

    It would do no good to ask him why.

    222

    Jerking away from him, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

    223

    Jonathan said you were taking him to some kind of horse race tomorrow.

    224

    Katie had been telling him that for years, but he hadn't seen it until now.

    225

    Katie said she should confront him when he did that - tell him how it made her feel.

    226

    Keeping her voice conversational, she asked him without looking up.

    227

    Later she remembered that Alex had asked her to call him if there was any change.

    228

    Lathum eyed him with poorly veiled amusement.

    229

    Lathum walked beside him to their patrol car and picked up a tablet.

    230

    Leaning her back against the wall, hands behind her back, she watched him in the mirror.

    231

    Let him explain all of it to his mother.

    232

    Let him stew on that for a while.

    233

    Let him who has work to do recollect that the object of clothing is, first, to retain the vital heat, and secondly, in this state of society, to cover nakedness, and he may judge how much of any necessary or important work may be accomplished without adding to his wardrobe.

    234

    Lifting her gaze to meet his intent regard, she implored him.

    235

    Lisa jerked her head around and glared at him, but his attention was fully absorbed by the destruction.

    236

    Lisa stared at him in amazement.

    237

    Lisa stared at him, fragments of the night before slowly fitting together like a jigsaw puzzle.

    238

    Lisa stared at him, too frightened to move.

    239

    Lisa stared at him.

    240

    Lisa stared up at him, the blood draining from her face.

    241

    Looking down at him, she sighed.

    242

    Maybe he wondered - maybe he knew - if his father had ever held him as he held his offspring right now.

    243

    Maybe it angered him because she hadn't found him irresistible.

    244

    Maybe it was therapeutic for him in some way.

    245

    Maybe she could act like she didn't notice it was him.

    246

    Maybe she didn't know him as well as she thought she did.

    247

    Maybe that was what Felipa was talking about - that she fussed over him too much.

    248

    Maybe that was what made him such a good salesman in the past.

    249

    Maybe... but something about him rang true – mostly the part that he had saved her life.

    250

    Mertz said she told him she didn't know who Yancey was or what he did.

    251

    Mr. Giddon heard him and kicked him off the place.

    252

    No wonder Dulce didn't want to let go of him.

    253

    Not like I wanted to take him away from the man who had been a Dad to him.

    254

    Not only making out - she was falling in love with him.

    255

    Obviously the long week was taking its toll on him as well.

    256

    Occasionally he glanced behind him, as if searching for someone, or something, that might be watching.

    257

    Of course, he thought she was giving him a signal.

    258

    Of course, Howard had talked to Len – even given him instructions to the Giddon house.

    259

    Of course, she knew Alex well enough now to know he didn't like people to hand out information about him.

    260

    Officer Lathum met him half way to the car and lifted a bushy gray brow.

    261

    On the day that he was seven years old, his mother gave him a few pennies.

    262

    Once again he had caught her ogling him.

    263

    Once he was seated and started the engine, she thanked him, but he didn't respond.

    264

    Once in her room, she slammed the door and locked it against him.

    265

    Once someone has something, no one should be able to take it from him or her.

    266

    Once you get away from him, stay away.

    267

    One can almost picture him, sandwich in hand, slack-jawed in surprise.

    268

    One thought had been gnawing at her consciousness since the first time she suspected him of being involved in drugs.

    269

    One wicked witch named Mombi stole him and carried him away, keeping him as a prisoner.

    270

    Other than the brief conversation about seeing him with Allen, they had not discussed him.

    271

    Other than the one time he had lost his temper with her, she had never known him to be anything but gentle.

    272

    Pierre, however, felt excited, and the general desire to show that they were ready to go to all lengths--which found expression in the tones and looks more than in the substance of the speeches--infected him too.

    273

    Pierre, who from the moment Prince Andrew entered the room had watched him with glad, affectionate eyes, now came up and took his arm.

    274

    Princess Ozma once brought him to life with a witch-powder, when she was a boy.

    275

    Putnam gave the rope a quick jerk and his friends pulled him out in great haste.

    276

    Reaching up, she turned off the light and then moved close to him, unbuttoning his shirt.

    277

    Sarah gave him a stern look.

    278

    Sarah was watching him intently.

    279

    Secure in his strong arms, she wondered how she could have suspected him of anything sinister.

    280

    Señor Medena asked Carmen and Alex to come to his office with him.

    281

    Señor Medena kept watching him, and finally spoke.

    282

    Señor Medena was looking at him in a strange way.

    283

    Señor Medena watched him for a moment, his expression guarded.

    284

    Señor Medena would take care of him and see that he got to the hospital if he needed to go.

    285

    She acted like she was trying to protect him.

    286

    She addressed him icily.

    287

    She backed away from him.

    288

    She beat him with her fists until finally her vision began to fail.

    289

    She called him Papa.

    290

    She came to the airport with him.

    291

    She caught him watching her several times, obviously wondering why she was so quiet.

    292

    She could count his ribs easily where they showed through the skin of his body, and his head was long and seemed altogether too big for him, as if it did not fit.

    293

    She cuddled close to him and lifted her face for his affection.

    294

    She darted around him and ran for the door, but he caught her half way.

    295

    She didn't act like she was afraid of him.

    296

    She eyed him suspiciously.

    297

    She eyed him with open disdain.

    298

    She favored him with a bright smile.

    299

    She folded her arms across her stomach and walked closer to him so she didn't have to yell.

    300

    She followed him out on the porch.

    301

    She followed him to the front door and looked up at him inquisitively.

    302

    She followed him to the table and sat opposite him, waiting for him to open the subject.

    303

    She followed him without comment.

    304

    She found him in the living room reading the newspaper.

    305

    She gave him a coy smile.

    306

    She gave him a final squeeze and released him.

    307

    She gave him a sarcastic smile.

    308

    She gave him her most fetching smile and stepped out of the hallway.

    309

    She gave him insight into how Katie and her mother felt about the subject.

    310

    She gave him what she hoped was a stern look.

    311

    She gently broke the embrace and stepped away, smiling up at him in an inviting way.

    312

    She glanced back at him sharply and caught her breath.

    313

    She glanced up at him sharply.

    314

    She glanced up at him, basking in the afterglow of a good scare.

    315

    She glanced up in time to see his mother give him a knowing look.

    316

    She glanced up to find him watching her with masked emotion.

    317

    She had an interesting perspective, and she made him think about things differently.

    318

    She had forgotten about him.

    319

    She had given him every reason to believe she was interested in him, so it wasn't too surprising.

    320

    She had him at bay and he was going to pay for his belligerent behavior.

    321

    She had no idea what made him angry one minute and jovial the next.

    322

    She heard him talking to his mother and she heard his conversation with the man in the black car.

    323

    She hesitated a moment, wanting to tell him, but thinking she would be betraying Yancey if she did so.

    324

    She hesitated and then joined him.

    325

    She hugged him and kissed his temple.

    326

    She hugged him, laying her head on his chest.

    327

    She hurried after him, glancing nervously at the jumble of rocks and trees.

    328

    She inched away from him.

    329

    She kept her eyes on the floor as she walked by him.

    330

    She kicked her feet and swung at him with her fists.

    331

    She kissed his lips softly and rolled away from him.

    332

    She leaned her head back and looked up at him, wiping the tears from her cheeks.

    333

    She leaned toward him, smiling up at him suggestively.

    334

    She left him only a few months after they were married.

    335

    She lifted her hand to slap him again.

    336

    She lifted her head to ask him why Allen was asking questions about Yancey.

    337

    She limped after him, muttering under her breath.

    338

    She looked at him.

    339

    She looked up at Alex, teasing him with her eyes.

    340

    She made a face at him.

    341

    She needed to talk to him, but not here in front of the owner.

    342

    She paused, allowing him to assimilate the information.

    343

    She peeked around the door again just in time to see him walk into the office and close the door.

    344

    She plowed into him, nearly knocking him down.

    345

    She pressed against him, moaning with delight.

    346

    She pushed him back, speaking as firmly as she could without talking loud enough for the children to hear.

    347

    She raised her face to look at him and caught Sarah and Connie making a hasty exit from the room.

    348

    She reached the door and looked back, expecting to find him right behind her, but he wasn't.

    349

    She removed his Tux and shoes, rolling him around the bed in the process.

    350

    She returned to her chair and sat down, gazing up at him.

    351

    She rolled over to face him, sliding eagerly into his embrace.

    352

    She said he wouldn't let her take him with her.

    353

    She said, watching him.

    354

    She sat down in the chair opposite him and studied her coffee.

    355

    She scanned the room, but didn't spot him.

    356

    She scooted closer to him, frightened and yet intrigued.

    357

    She shrugged with as much elegance as she could muster, and eyed him with deliberate interest.

    358

    She sighed and snuggled against him, feeling the beat of his heart... or was that her own?

    359

    She sighed, gazing up at him.

    360

    She smiled up at him as his hand found her waist.

    361

    She smiled up at him innocently.

    362

    She smiled up at him sweetly.

    363

    She smiled up at him, feeling a sudden need for levity.

    364

    She smiled up at him.

    365

    She snuggled close to him and his lips found hers again.

    366

    She squeezed him once more and then released him.

    367

    She squirmed and gave him a bright smile.

    368

    She stared after him.

    369

    She stared at him blankly.

    370

    She stared at him coldly.

    371

    She stared at him, but he didn't look at her.

    372

    She stared at him.

    373

    She stared up at him.

    374

    She started to get up so she could lead him to their bedroom, but he tugged her back down to the window seat.

    375

    She stepped around him and headed for the house.

    376

    She stepped around the chair and stood before him.

    377

    She stepped away from him, but he grabbed one arm, turning her around to face him.

    378

    She stepped back and glared at him.

    379

    She stood frozen, searching for him.

    380

    She stood silently watching him until he looked uncomfortable.

    381

    She stopped and turned to face him.

    382

    She stopped to wait for him, unsure whether to be happy about his presence or annoyed.

    383

    She straightened and smiled at him.

    384

    She thought he was a friend and told him you were at the house.

    385

    She took a step back from him.

    386

    She took a step toward him and called out.

    387

    She tried to push away from him but his embrace was too strong.

    388

    She tried to step around him, but he stopped her with an iron grip on her arm.

    389

    She turned her head to watch him.

    390

    She waited for him to get a little way down the path before she slipped from her hiding place and went to the door.

    391

    She waited for him to release her, but his lips moved across her cheek and down her neck with soft caressing kisses.

    392

    She walked behind his chair, leaning over it and putting her arms around him.

    393

    She walked by him to the car, mustering up a voice that approached normal.

    394

    She wanted me to tell him - and you.

    395

    She wanted to see him happy.

    396

    She was an open book to him and he was obsessed with the idea of reading it.

    397

    She was going to romance him.

    398

    She wasn't telling him anything he didn't already know.

    399

    She watched him as he answered it and then headed toward her at a brisk pace.

    400

    She watched him wash his hands.

    401

    She wrinkled her nose at him.

    402

    Sliding her arms around his neck, she pressed against him.

    403

    Slipping her hand through his extended elbow, she let him lead her into the center of the room.

    404

    So the party was actually for him, not both of them.

    405

    So they politely bade him good day, and went back to the outer cavern to resume their journey.

    406

    Somehow talking to him was easy.

    407

    Something about the way Felipa was smiling up at him suggested she was anticipating a good night kiss.

    408

    Sometimes the way Alex looked at him when he was talking - times when he was actually listening to him - it seemed to her that he felt that close bond.

    409

    Still, the romancing was so much a part of him that it was as if he wasn't even Alex.

    410

    Surely Connie had relayed the message to him.

    411

    Surely he knew she wouldn't leave him over something that happened before they met.

    412

    Take him along just in case.

    413

    Tammy hurled herself across the room into his arms and started lavishing him with kisses and hugs that he returned with equal enthusiasm.

    414

    Tears were streaming down her cheeks, but she glared at him.

    415

    Tessa was the girl who left him standing at the altar once.

    416

    That wide-eyed innocent look and those full lips reminded him of a fairytale princess.

    417

    The beast was very close to him now.

    418

    The big boy looked at him and blew it again.

    419

    The boy looked around him with wondering eyes.

    420

    The boy who sat beside him was his son.

    421

    The driver handed him an envelope and hopped into the car.

    422

    The encounter had frightened him more than he would admit.

    423

    The good woman was so overjoyed that she caught him in her arms and kissed him.

    424

    The latter spared him, and this magnanimity Bonaparte subsequently repaid by death.

    425

    The man gave him a sharp look.

    426

    The man told him he needed to get rid of me and Yancey told him he'd deal with me in his own way.

    427

    The masculine smell of him, the way his big hands caressed her cheek so softly... hands without calluses.

    428

    The minute Howard had arrived; Allen was in his face, accusing him of stealing his girl.

    429

    The next morning when he stood by the door before leaving for work, she looked him over while he examined a document.

    430

    The nobility don't gwudge theah lives--evewy one of us will go and bwing in more wecwuits, and the sov'weign" (that was the way he referred to the Emperor) "need only say the word and we'll all die fo' him!" added the orator with animation.

    431

    The prince answered nothing, but she looked at him significantly, awaiting a reply.

    432

    The smile faded from his lips and he motioned for Jonathan to join him.

    433

    The stranger bent over him and looked at the picture he had made on the rock.

    434

    The whistle did not please him any more.

    435

    Then again, Tessa had cheated on him.

    436

    Then he turned back to his father, who was watching him with interest.

    437

    Then the horse bunched up under him.

    438

    Then the king called one of the wisest scholars in Egypt and asked him what the word meant.

    439

    Then they told him dinner would be served directly and he replied that they could not serve it too quickly to suit his convenience.

    440

    Then when I caught him spying on me at the restaurant in Huntsville...

    441

    Then why was it so difficult to forgive him?

    442

    There sat the thorny Sorcerer in his chair of state, and when the Wizard saw him he began to laugh, uttering comical little chuckles.

    443

    There was enough material there to enable him to prepare several new tricks which he had learned from some of the jugglers in the circus, and he had passed part of the night in getting them ready.

    444

    There was no point in telling him she had intended to sleep in the car.

    445

    These they could not see, but they could feel them pelting the buggy top, and Jim screamed almost like a human being when a stone overtook him and struck his boney body.

    446

    They applauded all his tricks and at the end of the performance begged him earnestly not to go away again and leave them.

    447

    They could not give him any help.

    448

    They crawled into bed and she rolled on her side with her back to him.

    449

    They feared that the wolf was upon him; but he wished only to get his gun.

    450

    This dog helped him watch the sheep.

    451

    This feat pleased me highly, as his body was very heavy, and it took all my strength to drag him half a mile.

    452

    This made him very proud of his skill.

    453

    This time she wasn't going to wait for him to romance her.

    454

    To him that is what seeing the world is about.

    455

    Turning toward him, she melted into his warm embrace.

    456

    Two or three other shepherds joined him in the search.

    457

    Ultimately she would forgive him, so why not start now?

    458

    Uncomfortable about riding in the car with him, she had offered to drive.

    459

    Unless... it was after Tessa left him.

    460

    We would not let him get on the horse with Destiny.

    461

    Well, let him continue to think so.

    462

    Well, that explained a lot about him.

    463

    What are the odds that she'd ever meet him, much less marry him?

    464

    What had happened that made him ditch everything he knew and come to Arkansas?

    465

    What was it about him that she responded to in spite of what she knew about him?

    466

    Whatever was bothering him, he needed to say something or stop sulking.

    467

    When Alex approached Carmen about giving Tessa some money, she said it was up to him, but keep in mind that the issue could have been something like drugs.

    468

    When Alex walked through the door, they were standing by the table, waiting on him.

    469

    When he lifted his head, she pushed him away.

    470

    When his friends heard the gun they pulled the rope quickly and drew him out.

    471

    When she didn't get her way, she'd cry and act like she was afraid of him.

    472

    When she looked up at him, his gaze roved over her face.

    473

    When she met him outside, he was attaching a pillow to his ATV with bunji cords.

    474

    When the salesperson rings up your purchase, no one tells him he had better forget what shoes he sold you with that suit and not to use that information to advise any future clients.

    475

    When the time came for him to speak, his mother and the minister were both there to hear him.

    476

    When they reached the clearing of the lawn, Yancey waited until she came up beside him.

    477

    Who knew what would tick him off?

    478

    Why couldn't she feel the same excitement about him?

    479

    Why lie when she made it so easy for him to avoid talking about it at all?

    480

    Why were the police tight lipped about him?

    481

    Why would she hide him from me all this time and suddenly ask for a fortune?

    482

    With nothing more to do, she wandered in to watch him shave.

    483

    With that said, she got out of the truck and watched him leave.

    484

    Worst of all, she had probably ruined any chance she had with him.

    485

    Would she always feel this way about him and everything he touched?

    486

    Yancey moved away from the wall and reached for the phone, but she glared up at him, hugging the receiver to her chest.

    487

    Yancey scowled at him.

    488

    Yet Howard said he hired Allen because she asked him to investigate Yancey.

    489

    Yet someone had told him that she was working for Sarah.

    490

    Yet, one backward glance at the hard lines of the face over hers reminded her that there was more than the gentle side to him.

    491

    You did not tell him?

    492

    You love him very much.

    493

    You stand up to him.

    494

    You want him to have all you can give him.

    495

    You weren't going to introduce him to me... or Tessa?

    496

    You will not tell him?

    497

    You're not like him, and I'm glad.

    498

    You're the kind of woman he needs - someone who will stand up to him and yet understand his moods.

    499

    You've been staying with him long enough to know him.

    500

    Zeb shook the reins and urged him to go, but Jim was stubborn.
