Jack stares at me blankly. ‘A what?’ he asks. I choke back the laugh. ‘A boy. You know? A Y-chromosome holder? You don’t seem to notice them as much as you do the X-carriers.’ ‘What...

Then I wanted to sick up the gluey pie I’d had before the start of the evening, But I couldn’t stand the sort of veshch, sicking all over the floor, so I held it back.

She was halfway through the second yard when she heard Cyprien fall and curse.No man in the world will turn down a blow job, Alex thought as she dodged through yards and around the houses,...

I trust you not to kill, main, or drown me without just provocation.

In my mind, I was reliving my whole life again-slowly, taking my time. Delaying.Because I knew, sooner or later, I’d get to her.And then…Well, I’d already died once. I couldn’t live through it again.

Was your mom a gardener?’ I asked innocently. ‘What?’ Ren’s mouth hung open slightly.’Because a face like yours belongs planted on the ground.

My hair looked like a baby oppossum had taken refuge in it, invited some friends over, and thrown a party.

At the bottom of the stairs, I caught sight of a tall Sentinel with brown hair pulled into a low ponytail. Solos. As far as I recalled, I hadn’t threatened him with bodily harm –...

Brit: What’s your major?Alex: Chemistry. And yours?Brit: Chemistry. Kiss me so we can see if we still have it. ‘Cause you own my heart, my soul, and everything else in between.

Like I’ve said before, so many times before, I’m not a good person, I’m not a hero. I’m a criminal, a liar, a cheat, a killer. It was them or me and I wanted to...

She is stunning in her anger. Her eyes are bright, her chest is heaving and all I want to do is slam against her into nearest wall. I take a deep breath to calm the...

Todo el mundo está dormido. Llevan años dormidos. Tu parecias… despierta – susurra. Cierra los ojos, los vuelve a abrir-. Estoy harto de dormir.

So: outside, and to the black rush of the Presumpscot River.To freedom.For me, the world was beginning.

I know. Bad me.

Finished with the fries, I licked the salt off my finger as I lifted my gaze.Aiden’s eyes flared silver, and something warm unfurled in my stomach. I put my other finger to my lips—Holy baby...

At first I thought I was going to have to undress her, and dear gods, there was no way I could do that and not, well, think and feel the things I would. Then she...

Now let’s get out of here before the healthy ecosystem eats us.

Lobsters fascinated me. Everything from their name to their claws to their magnificent red had me hooked.My hair was that read, the kind of read that looks okay on everything but people, because a person’s...

He reached out, put his hands on her shoulders and pressed downwards. She fell into a seated position against a fallen tree.”Sit,” he said. “Stay.””That’s cute,” she said. “Tell me to ‘heel’ and see what...

Nothing has ever been so painful or delicious as being so close to him and being unable to do anything about it: like eating ice cream so fast on a hot day you get a...

How are you feeling?”I leaned away from him. “Gross.”Aiden frowned. “Gross?””I haven’t brushed my teeth or washed my face in days. Don’t come near me.”He laughed. “Alex, come on.””Seriously, I’m gross.” I put my hand...

I just don’t want you to feel that way, because I love you. I’m in love with you. Forever and ever, and all the corny things I can attach to that.

I don’t know what happened in your past, what he did to you, how he hurt you, but I’m not that guy. The only thing I want from you is you. I would never use...

I’m not seeing a strong father-son relationship here, Alex. You two make Anakin and Luke look like Andy and Opie.

First I need to do something.’ He pulled me closer towards him until our lips were almost touching.‘What might that be?’ I managed to stutter, closing my eyes, anticipating the warmth of his lips against...

Every experience is a gift and happens for a reason. No matter how big or small, we are reminded that we are the captains of our ship.

Alex grinned and then walked past him, murmuring, “I applaud you for your courage.””Courage?” he asked with confusion.”Hmm.” She headed for the door to the hall, swinging her purse gaily as she went. “Many men...

She looks tan…-ish.””There’s a fine line between ‘tan’, and looking like you just rolled around in a giant bag of Doritos. And Miranda seems to prefer the nacho cheese variety.

I like you.You don’t know me.I want to, though.

Okay. He had a point but it wasn’t like I could tell him anything. I could see me now: Guess what? You ever watch Clash of the Titans or read any Greek fables? Well those...

It was kind of Alice awesome, wasn’t it?

A sudden damp coldness clung to the air around us. I lifted my head, eyeing the burnt orange sky. One drop of water fell, splashing off my cheek. Then the sky opened up, drenching us...

I understand the reasons behind his keeping a distance from a girl he cares about. Because the truth is, sometimes getting close to the fire does actually burn you.

It makes sense to be paranoid.

Not something better, Charlotte. Something right. And yes, I would walk away, if that’s what you’re asking.

Love, the deadliest of all deadly things. It kills you.Alex.When you have it.Alex.And when you don’t.Alex.

And we did, and it wasn’t bad. We ate the whole stupid can, we were so hungry. And when it started to get dark you pointed to the sky, and toldme there was a star...

Are you not going to talk? Just sit there and stare at me like a creeper?”Aiden cracked a half smile. “You called me that once before.””Yeah, because you are a creeper.

You two should really get a room,” Apollo said from out of nowhere. “My poor eyes…”I groaned. Even in his true identity, he still had impeccable timing.”Gods,” Aiden spat. He pulled back, casting Apollo a...

Alex resisted the urge to throw Seb off the balcony and see if he could fly.

Dispensing with the frivolity, he kissed her meaningfully. When at last he pulled away, her troubled expression alarmed him. “What?””Be careful, Hammond.””No one will know I was here.”She shook her head. “Not that.””Then what?””You may...

Alex snorted as he packed the wound with sticky rice.”Is that stuff sterile?” Ted asked, staring at Alex.”They boil it, don’t they?” Alex said, not looking up from what he was doing.Ted’s frown deepened. “That...

He wants to get back together,” she finished.”And you said…?” he tried to keep his tone disinterested. “I haven’t said anything,” she said. “You interrupted me before I could answer him.”He congratulated himself on his...

If we could just float along, like snow.

I don’t know how we made it to the bed or if the water was ever turned off in the shower. But we were together, our bodies slippery, our wet hair soaking the sheets we...

Hey, I’m kidding. And I’m also curious why’d you do that. The sun rises and sets out of Aiden’s ass, according to you.

Oh gids,” I muttered, remembering where I’d heard this before. “Wasn’t that a season finale on Supernatural?” When the boys nodded, my eyes rolled. “Seriously? Are Sam and Dean going to be there?

Do you think me horselike, my lord?”Realizing the threat to his personage, Blackmoor wiped the smile from his face and replied, “Not at all. I said I think you charming.””A fine start.””And I appreciate your...

I’m not stupid,” I muttered lamely.”Well, why else would you tell Alex to go anywhere? What will we do for eye candy now? Were you thinking of Nate at all? Were you thinking of me?...

Though I walk through the valley of death I will fear no evil, for I am the evilest motherfucker in the valley
