I thought he should know the truth.”Some say that I’m a … well a …” I hated to say what others teased me mercilessly about… “A… slow learner.”He shrugged as if to indicate that it didn’t mean anything to him, but seemed anxious about what to say to console me. Finally, he reached out and...

You have a mother?”His mouth quirked with humor.”Yep, and a father too! Every kid normally has one of each to begin with.He was teasing me in an affectionate way…

Surely there was at least one other girl on campus not sporting a French pedicure (do girls really think we’re fooled by the little white lines painted across their toenails?), who had some black in her wardrobe, and actually thought about things. You know, someone who knew the word French could imply more than just...

Patti told me that to truly love someone ,you must hold them in a open hand.That was how I needed to love Kai. It was necessary to uncurl my fingers and let him go

Eternity,” I repeated, the words burning into my brain, so much so it felt we’d made some form of sacred and unbreakable bond.

The vampire moved as a unit, talons extended, fangs sprung free of their houses of flesh.They came to where the delectable smell of fresh blood was released. A quality without compare. It was as if a thousand year old bottle of wine lay breathing.On a cold stone floor, but paces away from consumption.

Don’t write your future so grim. You will not die, Chloe. I will not let you die here in Alexander’s mad kingdom.” He moved her back, reaching down with one hand to gently wipe away her tears.

Every night when I watch you sleep, I breathe you in. Every time I make you smile, my heart beats a tad bit faster. You are the blood flowing through my veins. If I had to go back to the life I had before, I would go freaking insane.

I leaned against the desk, ran my hand over my father’s paperwork, and picked up a pen. Turning around, I shoved it into my father’s hand. “What’s this?” he asked, raising a brow. “You’ll need it to sign my death certificate,” I said, pain vibrating my veins against my muscles and bones. “Are we done...

I want an answer about my request to transfer. Even now, my balls are shrinking in anticipation of going back out in the cold. I said I’d give my life protecting humanity, but my balls were never in the bargain.

Az érzés, ahogy az ajkuk ismét találkozott, felülírt minden addigi kétséget, hirtelen megértette a férfi szavainak a jelentőségét. Számára valóban furcsa volt a közöttük kialakult kapcsolat, gyorsnak érezte, hirtelennek, de az vitathatatlan volt, hogy Konstantin az, aki a világon mindenkinél jobban ismeri őt. Hosszú ideje jelen volt élete minden fontos eseményénél – még, ha ő...

Anyone could be anybody. (Eric)

Soon you’ll be wearing me,” he whispered for her ears only.

Or just one with a boner.

Holy shit! Can we say unstable? Was I the only sane one around here? Well, I guess that really wasn’t setting the standard very high.” -Ember, Darkness Of Light

It’s a little early in our relationship for us to be ‘surmounting,’ but, hey, I’m game if you are. I’ll even let you be on top.” He looked directly at me, a coy smile playing on his lips.

That definitely wouldn’t help your getting over me.

Weave the circle, tightly sewn,Let nothing evil or unknownEnter within. Stay withoutOn pain of death, we cast you out.

As for peace, it was never free and laws were made to be broken. Peacemaker or lawbreaker, someone, somewhere always paid the price no matter what side of the words they were on.

A novel is a bridge from one heart to another. – Anon

Don’t start that again. It’s not my fault you don’t have any masculine aprons.””That’s because aprons aren’t masculine, genius.””Don’t make me have you for dinner, princess.””Whatever, Betty Crocker. Knock yourself out.

I looked around the room, at everyone who inhabited the space, person and monster, slave and master, aware we were in the madness together, swirling around in the same mess, all out to get something, a piece of our own pie. But I knew that in the midst of that noxious stew, coming to terms...

Okay, you’re starting to talk board game. Let’s go home, babe. I’ll get you into bed.

As nice an offer as that was, I’m afraid I’m not interested.””I see the job as your only chance for survival.

A Kiss”:I went to snatch my hand away, but Trent caught my hand in his, startling me. I looked up to see warmth on his face. His smile held the promise of happiness. He scooted closer and held my gaze for a breath, glanced down. He leaned forward, as if he had no control over...

Even if she’d wanted to, she couldn’t look away as he approached. His eyes held hers with commanding authority and she never backed down from a challenge. Forget that their azure color was crystal clear and they held a sort of animal magnetism. If Tess didn’t know better, she’d say he wanted to devour her....

With the eeriness of the pounding I couldn’t help but think about my nonphysical traits ones known only by me. Much to my relief they rarely appeared. When they did the instability of their power and my helplessness to control them frightened me down to my core.

With his revelation,…I shattered into a million shards. I felt each piece as it splintered and separated from the whole like a glass I had broken the day before. Debris flew everywhere. It left me without any option but to pick each broken piece up, analyze it, and find out where it belonged. I had...

Xypher flashed himself into Simone’s bedroom, expecting to find her there.It was empty.Closing his eyes, he sensed for presences in the condo. There no Simone, but Jesse and Gloria in Jesse’s room.Without thinking, he flashed in there to find the two ghosts naked on the bed. “Oh g-ds, I’m blind.” He spun around to give...

Vampires aren’t as cool as I expected them to be. In romance novels, vampires are all dark and broody and sexy. In real life, you talk an awful lot about stocks.

The fire that had been raging inside her ever since she met him, ever since she left him, was now having gasoline thrown on top of it–by the gallon.

…he didn’t know when he was going to get the chance to play WoW again. And it was damn important to do his bit to save all life on Azeroth while he could.

Been there, done that. I’m sure I’ve got a T-shirt somewhere to prove it.

: ”We could cut loose, you know. Every man for himself. I look after my orgasm, you look after yours. Right here, right now. Quick and dirty.

Blood tricked down Molly’s neck from the stinging cut Justine had given her. She thought, dear lords and ladies, all I want in the whole wide world is a bath, a pina colada, and the chance to stake this bitch in the heart.

She had tried to imagine him as a young Gladiator in the arena. Back then he must have been as dangerous as a lean, half-starved alley cat. Now, the alley cat had long since vanished. What stood in his stead was a scarred and even more deadly lion who carried the weight of having lived...

Tell me what the fuck you want me to do, and I’ll do it.

The marine underworld stretched below the ship and embodied many secrets. The disappearance of Olga had become one of the mysteries that would remain with Stefania and her family. The disappearance of her baby sister and sudden departure from her home had taught the ten-year-old that life was filled with uncertainties. But she was willing...

Just in front of her lay the Congaree Swamp National Forest. To prove it, a mosquito the size of a kitten landed on her arm and prepared to drill.

We could cut loose, you know. Every man for himself. I look after my orgasm, you look after yours. Right here, right now. Quick and dirty.

He was the darkest of voices inside her head, the Night-kind King, and when he turned his gift of persuasion onto her, she wanted to take her soul out of her body and hand it to him.

Stand still while I yell at you.

The combination of razor-sharp wit (completely real) and his credentials (completely fake) had won them over in the end.

The last declaration he’d made to me hung between us. The L word. The one that had nothing to do with like.

Matt was almost completely naked. A tattered loincloth and an ugly chain with a yellow diamond were his only apparel.

Probably not, but we can pretend.

Tomorrow, I need you to die.

At that moment, I wished I were the wind, free to dance across her flesh, seep through her clothing, and explore the forbidden depths of her body beneath.

Taking advantage of me in my sleep, archangel?” –Gin

What was it about this man that one minute had me wanting to throw myself at him, climb him like a cat to rub up against and the next, wanting to scratch his eyes out while I was up there?
