Just one Line.

Shame on you. Sleeping with the enemy, her inner agent scolded. Tsk. Tsk.

Oh, shut up! Maria thought. It was just sleeping— this time.

She tried not to dwell on the possibilities of the next time. Best not to escalate any future misdeeds with the act of premeditation.
 
"Sorry, I didn't know I had to check the specific gravity of the chicken before I baked it..."

- Alex, from 'Mike & Karen'. (WIP)
 
"Healthy eating? Please, my husband has so much cinnamon in his diet that if he sneezes, he'll accidentally become the Kwisatz Haderach."

- Karen, about how Mike eats. (From 'Mike & Karen')
 
"I am going to murder you," she snapped, turning away with a furious shake of her head. She climbed out of the bed. "After I shower."
 
So what would the world do, confronted with a jaded, geriatric generation who refused to make way? It was hardly a new problem, but the advent of Libidramine threatened to lend it fresh urgency.
 
The brass zipper came down with a slow, buzzing sound, like the sound of saw teeth against the bark of a tree.
 
"The problem for zealots with a death wish," Nicole calmly popped a new clip into the Galil assault rifle as the machete wielding cultists charged towards them. "Is they eventually run into someone who'll be happy to grant that wish."
 
From the Christmas story I'm currently writing:

"I bellied up to the bar beside her, my hand sliding casually under her skirt. If she'd started the day wearing panties, she sure as hell wasn't now."
 
"I knew it!" she snapped indignantly, glaring at the stranger. "You're no better than this glob of jizz between my tits, are you?!"

- Jeanie (from Freja & Jeanie, chapter 5, WIP)

That's a great line - I assume it was near or at the start of a story - it has impetus, makes the story almost write itself

Thanks. It's about halfway through the book, a character trying to sort out her part in creating a dilemma. I just put it out there wondering if the alliteration is just fun or is too much.

I have days when I wish the damn book would write itself.

"Just look at you, standing there in your tropical worsted splendor. 'Naked' seems to be the company dress code but I don't think I've seen the top button of that shirt undone." She swam toward him. "If I get any closer, I may soak your pleated trousers."
 
Water streamed down his hair and face and throat, running in rivulets over his shoulders and catching the sunlight like tiny lenses in the tight black curls on his chest. Her throat tightened at the sight of him.

I felt like a teenaged girl again, doing something dangerous and daring on a date, something I might regret or would get me in trouble.
 
Jakob's wariness as he finally approached reminded her of a dog who'd been so teased that it had lost its natural trust in people. All at once, she felt absurdly protective of him.
 
"Splendid. Now all I need are the Harkonens over for tea, and my day is complete..."

- a very disgruntled Karen (Mike & Karen ch.24)
 
She knew enough about men to recognize that if there were any evidence at all that this drug made their dicks bigger then the people who sold it were going to own the fucking world.
 
"I was turned on. I promise you, if I'd felt threatened for an instant, or if you'd tried to force me…Well, I'd have at least guaranteed that you'd remember it for the rest of your life."
