The nominees:
Sebastian St. Amant (Should've Known Better), who speaks French
Marco D'Alessandro (Momentum), who speaks Italian
Paolo D'Alessandro (Velocity), who also speaks Italian
Here are some examples of the sweet nothings:
Sebastian -
He started to pick her up, and she protested. “I can walk. You’ll hurt yourself.”
Sebastian scoffed. “Ma belle, I bench two hundred fifty pounds for twenty reps three times a week. A tiny thing like you is not going to hurt me. Je suis un homme grand et fort.”Sarah laughed as he described himself as a big, strong man.
Marco-
“Aren’t you going to kiss me goodnight?”
Marco ran a fingertip down her cheek and then over her lower lip. “I didn’t want to hurt you.”
“You won’t hurt me.”
“Not for anything in the world, amante.”
Paolo-
“Tu sei la mia bella donna,” he
whispered, still playing with her hair with one hand as the other was trapped
under the pillow.
Savannah
smiled. “Why does it turn me on so much when you speak Italian?”
Paolo
chuckled. “Maybe I should do it more often.”
“Maybe you
should.” She ran her fingertips down his neck and over his torso. “What does it
mean?”
Tilting
her head up, he looked into her eyes and said, “You are my beautiful woman.”
“Wow.”
“Voglio
che tu così tanto.”
“And what
does that mean?”
“I want
you so much.”
“So many
words to express a simple concept.”
Who should be the winner? (And yes, I did try to make them around the same length, but it was difficult.)
