She was tipping her head back to inquire, when two men entered the great hall and the question flew right out of her head. They were simply two of the most gorgeous men she’d ever...

Sit,” Chloe said, dashing after him and tugging firmly at his sleeve. “Let’s hear the rest of it. You can kill him later.”~Chloe to Dageus.

Men. Do they all evade as first line of defense?

I doubt he’ll be a prince, Ms. Lane. Men rarely are.

It’s our actions that define us. What we choose. What we resist. What we’re willing to die for.

Grief shared was grief lessened.

I’m unhappy because ‘X’ happened to me yesterday, or I’ll be happy again when ‘Y’ happens to me tomorrow.” He says time is the ultimate villain.

And Mega has a crush on Chester.””I do not!””Do too, Mega.””He’s like, old!””How old, Christian says.””Like at least thirty or something.”Lor laughs. ” Fucking ancient, ain’t it, kid?””Dude,” I agree. I like Lor.

There are moments in my life when I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be, doing exactly what I’m supposed to do. I pay attention to them. They’re my cosmic landmarks, letting me...

The wound you refuse to dress is one that will never heal. You gush lifeblood and never even know why. It will make you weak at a critical moment when you need to be strong.

Finally, Dageus finished, and she heard Gwen and Chloe say simultaneously, breathlessly, “Oh, my God.”Gabby opened her eyes. Drustan had risen to his feet and was scowling, an expression mirrored by his twin. Both were...

I have found there to be little distance between the unlatching of a chain and the spreading of a woman’s legs. As if they can never unbar only a single entrance. It’s a disease called...

It’s what you choose to believe that makes you the person you are.

Now it’s not just my lip you’ll be needing to kiss if you’re wishing to make amends with me, Irish.

It’s funny how, when things seem the darkest, moments of beauty present themselves in the most unexpected places.

Aw, kiss him, Gwen, clamored a hundred perky eggs. Shut up, she rebuked. We don’t even know him, and until moments ago we thought he was dead. That’s no way to start a relationship.

I’d never understood why anyone would want to live forever. It had always seemed to me that death lent life a certain poignancy, a necessary tension.

It’s just another of Robin’s sayings. Like, ‘Holy strawberries, Batman, we’re in a jam! Or, Holy Kleenex, Batman, it was right under our nose and we blew it!

Sheep are always looking for a new shepherd when the terrain gets rocky.

Don’t lose yourself in anger, Mac. It’s gasoline. You can burn it as fuel, or you can use it to torch everything you care about and end up standing on a scorched battlefield, with everybody...

Then why was his tongue in your mouth? Was he conducting a clinical test of your gag reflex?” He smiled, but not nicely. “How is your gag reflex, Ms. Lane? Are you a hair trigger?”Barrons...

What are you” -Mac “I don’t follow” -Jericho “You dropped 30 feet in that warehouse. You should have broken something. What are you?” -Mac “A man with a rope.” -Jericho

She waited, thinking you were different from those who used and betrayed her. She believed you would find her, come charging to her rescue. That belief was as misplaced as the monsters we faced were...

She shrugged, looking as baffled by it as he felt. “I don’t know. I wonder sometimes if people even know what love is anymore. Some days, when I’m watching my friends change lovers as unperturbedly...

One day you will kiss a man you can’t breathe without, and find that breath is of little consequence.

Strength wasn‘t about being able to do everything alone. Strength was knowing when to ask for help and not being too proud to do it.

In my experience, anybody besides your mom that feeds you is going to want something in exchange for it.

Your race devotes itself to justifying its errors, not correcting them

Hell would be waking up and wanting nothing,” he agrees.

my” bookstore. That was what I called it. Did we call the things of our heart our own, whether they were or not?

I lay my head on his chest and listen to his heart beating, solid and sure…..he reads me so well. He’s known about my emotional empathy since we were children. Nothing disturbs him…Few can lie...

At least an affront,” I agree.

Or, ‘Holy Kleenex, Batman, it was right under our nose and we blew it!’

I must be dreaming. Bring that sweet ass over here and I’ll show you what God made women and well-hung Scotsmen for.

When you were too young and naïve to see the risks, I incurred your wrath to protect you. Scream at me for it if you must. Thank me for it when you finally grow up.

Dying is overrated. Human sentimentality has twisted it into the ultimate act of love. Biggest load of bullshit in the world. Dying for someone isn’t the hard thing. The man that dies escapes. Plain and...

There are only two things to worry about in life: either you’re free or you’re not. If you’re free, there’s nothing to worry about. If you’re not, you kick the shit out of everything around...

When he kisses me again, the last part of me that could stand myself dies.

When did having a life become an event you had to schedule?

Nobody looks good in their darkest hour. But it’s those hours that make us what we are. We stand strong, or we cower. We emerge victorious, tempered by our trails, or fracture by a permanent,...

Attitude shapes reality.

I have studied humans for a small eternity. Intent infuses their every movement. Road maps to their inner navigation, plastered all over their skin. Born to be slaves.

And there you have it…if I knew that I could only have a few nights in that man’s arms or nothing, I would take those magic nights and use them to keep me warm for...

His heavy-lidded gaze reflected a languor that had nothing to do with having just awakened, and there was no doubt what was on his mind. But this is no safe cherry picker, Gwen thought, growing...

If I entered a tropical beach, would I end up in Nazi Germany with my highly inconvenient black hair?

Oh, I see. As long as you didn’t kill her, kill her, then that’s okay.

Although love could grow in times of peace, it tempered in battle. Daddy told me once – when I’d said something about how perfect his relationship with Mom was – that I should have seen...

I like sex for breakfast, kid. I eat early and often.

Barrons: “He got upset it wouldn’t shut up and tore its head off.”Mac: “The child?” I gasped

What was she going to do with two Drustans?A kinky part of her proposed something unmentionable and rather fascinating. Really, if they were both him, it wouldn’t be like she was cheating on anyone.
