“Crazy? try ceiling-licking, rabies-frothing, dish-ran-away-with-the-spoon-in-fucking-sane." --Thanatos”

“One of you brothers, I'm guessing?''Yep. The mean one. Oh, wait, they're all mean.' She grinned. 'You are so fucked.”

“You should smile more often.''Can't.' He grunted as he opened her shirt to expose her chest. 'My face might freeze like that.”

“What are you talking about, Sin? You don't want anyone to own you... Or your heart?'She laughed bitterly, and entered the Harrowgate. 'I don't have a heart for anyone to take.”

“In fact, the males very rarely take permanent mates.'His skin was so tan. 'Why not?''Because we tend to kill the females.'Ah, well, okay. That wasn't cool.”

“Okay, boys.” Pestilence's grating voice rang out. “Kill the human and the mutt, and let's get this Apocalypse started!”

“Danger followed in his wake . . . followed, because it wouldn’t dare get inhis way.”

“Theres a nightmare scenario. Oh hey a weasel!”

“Fuuuuuuuuuuck." Kynan scrubbed his face. "I could use a double shot of whiskey right now.""I'm sure Flicka keeps hard liquor behind the bar.""Flicka?""I don't want to say her name.""So you're calling her horse names?" Ky coked a dark eyebrow. "I can't wait to see how she reacts to Mr. Ed.”

“His gaze slammed into hers. 'I love you. Never forget that. Never forget...me.'He loved her. Emotion bubbled up in her throat, leaving her voice completely wrecked. 'Never,' she rasped.”

“How much time do you have? On Earth, I mean.''I honestly don't know.'His entire body went statue still. 'I don't want to lose you. I know that makes me sound like a pussy, but I don't.”

“You really believe that? He took a step toward her.' I'm risking Sin's life by putting off what I have to do to Kynan. I'm doing that for you. Not for Kynan or my brothers. I took a knife for you. I've kissed you over and over when I never kiss anyone. So why the hell would I want to see you suffer?”

“Lore? Tell me what Sin said about you being tortured wasn't true,'He didn't look at her as he moved toward the bathroom. 'It wasn't true.''You're lying.''You told me to.”

“You son of a bitch!''What? he said, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. 'You were mad.''I wasn't talking about the kiss.'He grinned. 'Does that mean I can do it again?”

“You know,' Wraith muttered, 'life was a lot easier when we hated all humans and didn't give a shit what happened to the lot of them.' He laughed. 'Okay, I couldn't say that with a straight face. I still don't give a shit'.”

“Something inside him shook so hard he was surprised Idess didn't jiggled right off him. This was the closest he'd ever been with to a female. Oh, he'd fucked them, and he'd even cared for one he'd foolishly thought could be his. But never had any female fallen asleep on him. It was a surprising intimacy that gave him some hellacious warm fuzzies in a situation he had no right to feel good about at all.And yet, he stroked her hair and tried to be still, because crazily, this was the most amazing thing that ever happened to him.”

“The Vamp Council hung a portrait of me on their hero wall. How's that for ironic?''Especially since they showed it to you just before they tortured you for Serena's turning,' Shade said.Wraith snorted again. 'Fuckers'.”

“And, ah, who are you?What Horseman, I mean.”Thanatos swung around. “Death.”Cara swallowed. Audibly. “As in, the Grim Reaper?”He snorted. “That poser.”

“Did you accomplish anything in your meeting with Kynan and Arik?” Limos, looking proud of herself, bobbed her head excitedly. “I broke Arik’s ribs.”Reaver exhaled on a deep sigh. “Anything else?”

“Reseph tried to convince one of my vamps to slip an aphrodisiac into my drink.""Ares is quite fond of the orc-weed," Vulgrim called out from the kitchen, and yeah, there was a set of chains in the dungeon with his name on them.Limos scowled. "What did your demon say?""Nothing," Ares muttered.”

“It wasn't a kiss, human, so don't get excited."She sputtered in outrage. "I don't know what putting your lips on someone else's mouth means for your people - whatever they are - but humans call that a kiss.""Congratulations, then. You made out with a hellhound.”

“I'll listen to you, but you need to treat me with a little respect. Because it doesn't sound like I'm a pawn. Sounds like I'm more of a queen." A vein in his temple began to throb, and she grew bolder, the sense of power emanating from the mark on her chest filing her with the mettle she'd lost after the break-in two years ago. Lowering her voice to a tense whisper, she nipped his earlobe. "Checkmate.”

“You two have a lot of balls coming here."Kynan gestured to Arik. "He does. I'm charmed. Nothing can hurt me. Or my balls.”

“ A Touch of Crimson will rock readers with a stunning new world, a hot-blooded hero, and a strong, kick-ass heroine. This is Sylvia Day at the top of her game!”

“leave it to him to get messed up with deaths little girl”

“Horseman. I know you were born back when women were thought of as little more than brood mares and slaves, but it's the twenty-first century, and we can do anything a man does.”

“Hurry," she breathed.Man, talk about pressure. He was supposed to get it up while demon hordes were trying to kill him, and Satan himself was knocking at the door.”

“The pretty nurse had just injected her with something that totally rocked, and if she wanted to think about boinking a bronzed, tattooed, impossibly handsome doctor who was so far out of her league she need a telescope to see him, then screw it. Screw him. Over and over.”

“Man who hates cats is insecure, but a man who likes them is one worth keeping. If he can appreciate a cat, he can appreciate a strong, independent woman.”

“He'd always thought Roag was one rat short of a plague.”

“That was some weird shit. A hospital run by demons, with a nursery run by a werewolf, a vampire and an ex-angel. There was a book or a TV show in there somewhere.”

“There's no sense drawing attention to yourself, Li.""Hellooooo. I'm aHorseman of the Apocalypse, and I'm betrothed to the most infamous, most powerful demon in existence. I couldn't draw more attention to myself i I wore Lady Gaga's meat dress to a PETA convention.”

“Wow", he rasped. "Do you emasculate all the men, or am I speacial?”

“Still amazes me that people spend more time researching a new vehicle than they do the religion they entrust their souls to.”

“This is needle-in-haystack shit. And the haystack is made of needles. On a needle planet.”

“Piss me off again and I'll rip you a new asshole and then fuck it. And that's just the foreplay.”

“Oh for the love of God put a butt plug in the male tough-guy crap.”

“I've got a mind to turn you over my knee and spank the spoiled hell out of you”

“You know I could crush you.""I know you won't.""Why, because I need to protect you?""No," She poked him in the breastplate. "Because you gave me a pillow.”

“Now, con said grimly, "I go to kill a werewolf and claim my woman."~Con”

“Con! Fuck!"Male voice. Deep.Con blinked, coming out of his haze to see Shade beneath him. Con's erection was pushed hard against Shade's thigh, and yeah....not cool.Panting and shaking like a leaf, Con scrambled off him. "Ah...I don't...that was, ah...not for you.""I fucking hope not," Shade muttered.~Con/Shade”

“Instinct made him want to fold her into his arms and fix her hurt, but instead, he steeled himself to finish it."What? Why do you look so suprised? You are a sex demon. Did you think we could ride off into the sunset, set up a house and fuck up a bunch of kids? The only thing I've ever wanted from you is sex and blood. Fucking and feeding go together for me, and since I can't feed from you anymore...."He gestured to the door. "Get out, and don't ever come near me again."~Con”

“Mine. You're mine, Sin. No one else will ever touch you, do you understand? You belong to me. You'll bond with me.~Con”

“....she yelped. "What are you doing?""Kissing your beautiful ass."~Sin/Con”

“He leaped to his feet, grabbed her, and spun her to face him. "No more bullshit, Sin. Feel what you've done."He took her hand and pressed it to her chest, where her heart was pounding painfully fast. So was his."Let yourself feel something for someone else."~Con”

“I don't try Sin. I do. Remember that.”

“Kiss me again without my permission, " she whispered against his lips, "and I'll geld you and sell your balls to a Ruthanian specialty meats shop. Understood?""You won't do that," he whispered back. "You'd miss them too much."Sin snorted and made the blade disappear into her pocket as she stepped back. "Men are always overestimating the worth of their genitals."~Sin to Con”

“Yeah, I need sex or I die. So stop with the obnoxious chaperone shit, because I really don't want you anywhere nearby while I'm doing it, and I don't think you want that either."She gave them the sweetest smile."And know that the second you're gone, I'm going to ride Con until he begs for mercy."Eidolon sighed. Shade swore. And Con muttered something that sounded strangely like "Mercy".~Sin”

“He didn't give a shit what Sin did, who she "mated" with, or what she did with her assassin business. But this Lycus fucker was blackmailing her, and that just pissed him off. The sudden image of her naked, beneath a well-muscled body did'nt bother him at all. At. All.”

“I love you. Never forget that. Never forget...me.”
