I missed you, Angel. Not one day went by that I didn’t feel you missing from my life. You haunted me to the point that I began to believe Hank had gone back on his...

What about you?” I kept my voice carefully indifferent. He flashed me a cold smile, sharp at the edges. “Worried about me?” Because I couldn’t think of anything snide to say, I stuck my tongue...

You sound worked up. Really worked up. No, that’s not it. You sound agitated…flustered…aroused.” I could feel her eyes widen. “He kissed you, didn’t he?”No answer.”He did! I knew it! I’ve seen the way he...

I tilted my chin up a fraction. “You can’t f-force me to stay here.” I’d only agreed to come this far because I didn’t want to stand out in the downpour, for one, and I...

Go ahead. You’re not going to walk in on anyone. I’m home alone.””The whole night?”Immediately, I realized it might not have been the smartest thing to say. “Dorothea will be coming soon.” That was a...

We don’t have to go back to my place, Angel. I can take you home, if that’s what you want. Or, if you decide you want to sleep at my place, on opposite sides of...

You’re a guardian angel now.” I was still too much in awe to wrap my mind around it, but at the same time I felt amazement, curiosity…happiness.”I’m your guardian angel,” he said.”I get my very...

But if I hadn’t fallen, I wouldn’t have met you.

I saw you, and I wanted to be close to you. I wanted you to let me in. I wanted to know you in a way no one else did. I wanted you, all of...

Only downside to your place is the disturbing low amount of extraneous toiletries. No conditioner? Lip gloss? Sunscreen?” I jerked my thumb toward the front door. “I need to brush my teeth. And I need...

His smile was sexy and warned of trouble, but I’d made up my mind that not all trouble was bad.

I loved you long before you loved me. It’s the only thing I have you beat at, and I’ll bring it up every chance I get.

If I had known things would turn out this way, I would have trained harder. I would have learned to take care of myself. But I guess that’s the point, isn’t it? You never know...

We still have a lot to talk about,” I said. “Talk?” He shook his head, his eyes full of desire. Kiss, he whispered to my thoughts.

There’s nothing wrong with the fire.. if you don’t get too close. – Patch

Me Jev, you Nora.

Vee never needed a reason to do something stupid. Sad thing was, most of the time I didn’t either.

Hang on, did you just call me Angel?” I asked.”If I did?””I don’t like it.”He grinned. “It stays, Angel.

Any happiness, no matter how brief, seemed better than the long, simmering torture of waking up day after day, knowing I could never have him.

If you haven’t guessed it already,” I said, something fervent and resonating slipping into my tone, “I need you, too.””Is that a yes?” he asked, pushing his fingers through my hair, fanning it out around...

Every time you strip my sword, I owe you a kiss. How’s that sound?” I bit my lip to keep from giggling. “That sounds really dirty.” Patch waggled his brows. “Look whose mind just rolled...

Right then, I wanted to go back in time and relive every moment with him. One more secret smile, one more shared laugh. One more electric kiss. Finding him was like finding someone I didn’t...

Because those four days in the mountains, they changed us. I gave you a piece of me. And you must have given me a piece of yourself, too, because you wouldn’t have come here otherwise....

N:”Espera ,me dijiste ángel?” – pregunté.P”,Y si lo hice?”N:”No me gusta.”El sonrió abiertamente.P:”Entonces lo dije. Ángel.”N:Él se inclinó en la mesa, levantando sus manos hasta mi cara y rozó su pulgar en la esquina de...

But you didn’t hear me say that.

You don’t happen to have a thousand dollars I can borrow?” “I don’t have five you can borrow. My piggy bank is officialy anorexic.

Sure thing, Gumdrop.

We all know you’re beautiful, Scott.

One more secret smile. One more shared laugh. One more electric kiss. Finding him was like finding someone I didn’t know I was searching for.

But strength doesn’t always mean brute force. You don’t have to kick ass to be a fighter. Violence doesn’t equal strength.

I don’t have a car.”His eyes sliced into mine. “I walked here,” I explained. “I’m on foot.””Angel,” he said in a way that sounded like he sincerely hoped I was joking.

Ready?”Despite the grim mood, I smiled and cracked my knuckles. “Ready to wrestle with my gorgeous boyfriend? Oh, I’d say I’m ready for that.”Amusement softened his eyes. “I’ll try to control where I put my...

I had fun last night,” I told Patch, flicking off my chin strap and handing over my helmet. “I’m officially on love with your sheets.” “That the only thing you’re in love with?””Nope. Your mattress,...

I like having you around, Britt. That’s the truth. I’m not leaving you. Even if you were a pain in the butt, I’d stay with you. It’s the right thing to do. But it turns...

What was up with class today? It was watered-down porn. He practically had you and Patch on top of your lab table, horizontal, minus your clothes, doing the Big Deed.

Stop crying. You’re giving archangels everywhere a bad name.

Do you sleep naked?

Patch: You’re staying here, Angel.Nora: You’re taking this one alone?Patch: First, Hank can’t see us together. Second, I don’t like the idea of dragging you into something that could get messy fast. If you need...

The only thing a boyfriend was good for was a shattered heart.

I couldn’t stand here, hanging on, when the very thing I held disappeared more with each passing day.

Citizen’s arrest,” he said. “Well, that, and Patch told me to.

And you would have lost. We were surrounded. He threatened your life, and he would have made good on that threat. He had you, and that meant he had me, too.

I was terrified of what might have happened to you,” I choked out. “I was terrified thinking the same about you.””The devilcraft-” I began. Patch exhaled beneath me, and my body dipped with his. His...

Scared, Angel?

Stay with me tonight. Let me hold you even if that’s all it is. Let me keep you safe.

I don’t want to be here when my latest work of accidental art is discovered.

The problem with human attraction is not knowing if it will be returned.

Anything was better than nothing. Half-full was better than empty. Ignorance was the lowest form of humiliation and suffering.

You’re mine, Angel, and don’t you forget it. Your fights are my fights. What if something bad had happened today? It was bad enough when I thought your ghost was haunting me; I don’t think...
