The fire crackled. On Jutaire, without oxygen, the fire is different. Fed by different air. Maybe it wishes it were orange, for it sputters and reaches up to the sky with angry fists of blue...

We can be prisoners together. I am en route to a wretched planet called Tarsonis to assume governorship and as you have no other, more pressing engagement, you are coming with me.

Guilt ripped into her like a rusty, serrated knife. It took up residence in her soul, settling in and getting comfortable so it could saw away ragged pieces of flesh and leave her to bleed.

I’m not just the sum of how I look although that seems to be a popular opinion, and it infuriates me.

When he flashed that rockin’ smile of his again, I couldn’t help but think that me being cute was what might be crossing his mind. Then again, maybe he thought I was a dumbass. Either...

He simply preferred the sensation of soil beneath his feet and wind in his hair, of fresh, non-recycled air which carried on it the scent and taste of life. He preferred what was solid and...

We made a pact the day you left for Novo—I know you don’t remember that, but I do—and I’m holding fast to our promise. To never give up hope. And I have hope, because I...

… But my voice is too soft. The wind picks up my words and swallows them whole.

She knew it was going to happen, was ready for it, but when he pulled her to his lips, nothing could have prepared her for the heavy rush of desire that slammed through her.

Right now, you and me? This feels like fate, if fate can be felt.

Do you love me?” His voice rang flat in his own ears, deadened and weighted with the recognition there was only one chance, and a fool’s chance at that

I engage in subtle stalking. That’s entirely different and perfectly socially acceptable.

Ariel, you have a strength that cannot be hindered by anything. A strength that I admire greatly.” – Luca

Approaching the trail, he broke through the thicket a short distance ahead of the Empath. Causing the Empaths horse to startle as the surprised rider jerked on the reins. Cap was equally surprised to find...

Yes, she loved her ship more than she had loved him. But what she loved even more was what it gave her: freedom, and the key to the marvels of space. It gave her the...

Are you in any pain? (Ariana Skyee)Only my heart. (Cal Remus)

Thank you father, thank you. I know you watched me from above and protected me. I promise I shall serve the Magnarian Confederation with all my body and soul. I shall dedicate myself fully to...

Nadua was stunned by his gentleness; when he looked as though ready to tear the flesh from her throat with his lengthening fangs.

I would cry if I could, but instead I just feel my heart rip apart.

God, she was beautiful. Hair a tangled mess, clothes torn, lips pale and swollen, skin streaked in dirt. And she was so damn beautiful and flawed and perfect.

An intense longing builds inside me, and I fight the urge to propel myself forward and grab her into my arms.

There is no gravity. The only thing holding me to this planet is you.

She must still have a fever,” Victor said, fighting a smile, which just made him even more breathtaking.

Just so we’re very clear. If I want to kill you, I can kill you.

I plant a gentle parting kiss on his lips, our strategy is well and truly screwed at this stage anyway. We barely lasted a day.

Just tell him to keep his hands to himself and his python in his pants.

Her heavy breathing echoed off the thick walls, her body frozen in shock, but when Marik reappeared in the mouth of the cave, she reached for the sword. He was still in a state of...

Sure looks like that’s working out well for you,” I say, piercing him with a scornful look.

Deep in the recesses of her mind, she knew they were probably watching. They watched everything, after all.Let them watch. Let them see what it meant to be human. To live.Let them see what it...

I need to master the art of talking to her before I can even contemplate anything else.

As a rule of thumb, it was always safer if the Commander-in-Chief formulated a risky plan.

I’m just an apprentice, stuck between these borrowed first and last breaths that I was given, drinking water of life, and chasing the fire of knowledge, and waiting to mingle with my eternal and faithful...

No…you can ask for a beautiful, witty, intelligent yet minxy woman in your arms every night, a mansion on a hill—or better yet in the sky—and the best bodyguards to protect you when someone does...

My romantic history since arriving on Novo has been non-existent, but I don’t know what, if anything, came before; thanks to the government’s cerebral pilfering.

Knowing all the languages in the world could help you to really understand all the jokes you can hear… from my future Kids’ Funny Business.

In a flash, the previously lusty green irises morphed into an angry blood red. Nadua stood with a gasp, not sure what was happening to him. The horns that peeked out of his sandy brown...

It’s degrading being routinely subjected to a battery of medical tests to ensure I continue to deserve a place in this new world.

So that’s why I say ‘never have anything you can’t walk away from.’ Especially a woman. For them, because this is a dangerous life we lead and you never know if or when it will...

You really need to get out more. Where’d you glean that interesting nugget? The desperate men’s journal perhaps?

A pulse. Beat-beating against her palm. Alive. Beat by beat the bottomless whirlwind of perceptions and data and images and sensations careening through her mind—so many how can this tiny skull hold them all—began to...

Know this. If you’re here to hurt my ship, or my crew, I will make sure you truly do know suffering.”Cale from Demon Possession
