You had this all planned, didn’t you?’ I accused. ‘Thought you could come in here and seduce me like you do everyone else?’ It wasn’t as if I could be angry, lying atop him as...

Growing up is hard, love. Otherwise everyone would do it.

For all his sourness, he was ruled by his heart.

I’ve come to save you, love!

Join us next time for Days of the Undead when Rachel learns her long lost brother is really a crown prince from outer space.

You don’t have to have sex to find a feeling of closeness and understanding. Lord knows I feel that way about you. Use that to shackle your hunger. Isn’t that what love is?

Big lots,’ I said, seeing the eighty-year-old oaks and shady lawns. The houses were set way back and had iron fences and stone drives. The harder to hear your neighbors scream, my dear,’ was David’s...

I am not going to live with regret for not having tried.

You listen to me, and listen good!” she shouted, shocking me. “I am not evil because I have a thousand years of demon smut on my soul!” she exclaimed, the tips of her hair trembling...

You’re starting to understand.

A witch, a vampire, and a pixy walk into a bar, I thought as I led the way into the Squirrel’s End. It was early, and the sun had yet to set when the door...

I’m not talking about the blood ecstasy. I’m talking about my being able to fill that emotion void she has. You know her as well as I do, maybe better. She aches with it. She...

His right ear still held both studs, and I wondered who had the missing earring. I would have asked, but was afraid he’d tell me Ivy had it.

Of course I’m shielding her, you broken feather!

Nina sniffed, shifting her shoulders to look at the sky through the branches. “She’s a sweet girl, but poor.”Ire pricked through me, and the last of his charisma shredded. “Being poor is not an indication...

Al, where are you going to put her? Not in your room. She’d pull a line through you and kill you when you hog the blankets. I’ll take the waif in. I promise I’ll bring...

God, if you ever loved me, open my eyes for me when I’m being this stupid! (Ron)

I took a breath, seeing from across the room the rain on his eyelashes. A sudden need to brush them free filled me. I could almost feel the dampness of the rain on my fingers,...

Endings are not always bad. Most times they’re just beginnings in disguise.

I want to wake up beside you, see your curls on my pillow. I want a chance at falling in love.” My breath came fast. That was what I wanted too, and it hurt more...

Just so you know, I’ve trusted you since camp.

The want for that kiss had shocked him more than the interruption, and he fell back into the chair, cool and nonchalant as Quen came in with his questions and demands. He wasn’t sure if...

Jenks enthusiastically leaned against the counter and opened the box. Bypassing the plastic knife, he broke off about a third of it and took a huge bite. Ivy watched, appalled, and I shrugged. His mouth...

Very true,” she said as she eased back into the cushions.With a soft click of his teeth, Al’s mouth shut. His eyes were cross, and he seemed peeved that I’d found a way to satisfy...

I knew it! Not another list!

Chubi, rhymes with booby, which you don’t have, or doodie, which your face looks like,” she said smugly, leaning back and making her chair squeak.

Slicker than snot on a door handle.

You’ve never been the safe, nice girl next door, despite everything you do to be that person. That’s why you joined the I.S., and even there you didn’t fit in, because, knowing it or not,...

Tink’s a Disneyland whore!”-Jenks

Rachel knew what she was doing. And when she didn’t, she could improvise on the fly, coming up with options that left a lot of collateral damage but usually only hurt herself, not the people...

Uh… ,” Ivy stammered, and I glanced up to see her eyes wide in consideration.”I’m kidding,” I said. “It passed the lethal-amulet test, remember?””Not that. You keep it in your underwear drawer?”I hesitated, wondering why...

My God”, he whispered. What have I done to her? He thought, humbled. The spell was broken, but it wasn’t sealed, and her soul was bare to him, the scars of her tragic past and...

I was cold, hungry, and in a hole in the ground. But at least I had my elven porn, damnit!

Nothing is so hard that it can’t be found by searching.

It’s the same difference!

No one wears buckles anymore, and I decided to get him some real boots next winter solstice.Some sexy guy boots. Yeah.

I said school starts tomorrow. I didn’t say I was going to be there.

Student food.” His eyes went to the tomato on the sill. “Whatever’s in the refrigerator over pasta.

And then there are the rare ones who know love, who understand it. Who freely give of themselves, demanding only a return of that love,that trust.

Just let me sleep,” she grumbled. “Let me sleep, and I’ll sign a paper that you’re a fucking angel.

Shouts of dismay rose as the red flesh splattered against the table. It was only a tomato, but one would think I was pulping a decaying heart by the noise the big, strong FIB officers...

The undead did not love, but they remembered love with a savage loyalty.

You bet your Grannie’s Panties I will.

Plan B?’ Ivy said. ‘What is plan B?’Jenks reddened. ‘Grab the fish and run like hell,’ he muttered, and I almost giggled.

With a gentle pressure, our lips met. His hands slipped more firmly about me, and I held myself back, not afraid, but wanting to feel everything slowly as I leaned in, tasting the wine on...

But a slow, deeply satisfied smile came over him, and his breath quickened. ‘So softly it starts,’ he whispered. ‘Foolishly clever and with an unsurvivable trust. It just saved your miserable life, that questionable show...

His attitude, though always bad, has changed since he helped me prep the Pandora charm for Morgan. He thinks I’m falling for her, as ridiculous as that sounds, and he might be tempted to take...

Bug? You sack of sweat stink. I’ve got farts that smell sweeter than you. Think you’re better than me? Poop ice cream cones, do you? Call me a bug! Rachel, let me do him now.

Ivy!’ I stammered, then glared at Kisten. ‘You told Ivy? Thanks a hell of a lot. Want to call my mom next?

I’d give anything if you’d kiss me.” I said. “I mean,” I said when he tilted his head to look at me, his eyes wide in shock, “I’ve kissed guys before. It’s like a handshake...
