“Heaven with my angel. It doesn't get any better than this.”

“I’ll do whatever you want, whatever you need. Anything. Just take me back.”

“It's a full time job with a part-time companion.”

“I keep what's mine, and I do not share.”

“One day at a time. You rise, you eat, you bathe, and you talk to the few people you can tolerate while feeling so wretched. Over time, it hurts a little less. Then a little less. And so on...Until one morning, you will awake and realize the pain is only a memory. It will always be with you, but it will eventually lack the power to cripple you.”

“I supposed, perhaps, you miss the promise of what could have been, while at the same time you are grateful that what it was instead is over.”

“I want to keep feeling the way I feel when I'm with you. Just tell me what I have to do. And give me some room to screw up. I've never done this before. There's a learning curve.”

“I can't bail out on Cary," I said apologetically, turning to face him. "Chicks before dicks and all that.”

“You can’t manage me, Lindsay. I’m more than happy to be the recipient of your persuasive skills, but not if you’ll be pissed off when it doesn’t get you what you want.”

“The kiss he gave her was fierce and passionate, relaying so much more than lust and desire. She clung to him, soaking up the flood of emotion from a man known for his reserve and austerity. This was why she could blossom for him, why she felt fearless and audacious. They were so much alike in that way, their still waters running deeper than most.”

“Are you sleeping with anyone?" ....... "Because I want to fuck you, Eva. I need to know what's standing in my way, if anything.”

“There wasn't a woman alive who could resist a man who paid attention to her, who made her feel like she was the only other person in his world.”

“I flipped the good doctor the bird.Snorting, Gideon caught my hand and pulled me back down the hall."What is it with you and giving people the finger?""What? It's a classic.”

“You have a transportation fetish.I have a Gideon fetish. It's been weeks.”

“I want to sympathize, I do, but the love triangle is just too delicious. The determined rock star and the possessive billionaire. Rawr.”

“What would I do without you? You're never going to find out.”

“I'm an animal with you," he murmured. "I want to mark you. I want to possess you so completely there's no separation between us.”

“I've told you before,” he said huskily. “I'll take you however I can get you.”“Whatever. Don't think I don't know you're topping from the bottom.”His mouth curved with unapologetic amusement.”

“I want you bound. And not on the outside. I’m working my way in.”“Gideon—““I won’t ever take it further than you can handle,” he promised, his eyes glittering hotly in the muted lighting. “But I’ll take you to the edge.”I squirmed, both aroused and disturbed by the thought of giving up that much control. “Why?”“Because you want to be mine and I want to possess you. We’ll get there.” His hand slid under my shirt and cupped my breast, his fingers rolling and tugging my nipple, igniting my body.”

“Even she agreed that a woman had a right to chocolate.”

“The thing about nightmares was that you couldn't prepare for them. They sneaked up on you when you were most vulnerable.”

“—¿Qué haría yo sin ti?—Eso nunca lo sabrás.”

“That’s what scares me, Gideon. You don’t know what you’re worth.” “Actually, I do. Twelve bill—” “Shut up.”

“I have one one type: Eva Lauren Tramell. That’s it.” I rolled my eyes.“Okay. Whatever.”

“I'm losing my mind without you.” His lips were gliding down my neck, his tongue stroking over my racing pulse. He sucked on my skin and pleasure radiated through me. “I can’t think. I can’t work or sleep. My body aches for you. I can make you want me again. Let me try.”

“I can let you in, Eva. I’m trying. But your first response when I screw up is to run away. You do it every time and I can’t stand feeling like any moment I’m going to do or say something wrong and you’re going to bolt.”

“Why? Why would you do that?”"You have your way of dealing with jealousy and I have mine.”

“Sometimes I wanted to believe something so badly, I deliberately manufactured excuses and ignored painful reality.”

“He was impossibly gorgeous. I had trouble taking it in at times”

“I love being with you. When we're not together, i wish we were”

“Cary Taylor. Loving you isn’t a character defect.”“Well, it’s not very smart. I was such an asshole to him,” he muttered, looking disgruntled. “He could do so much better.”“That isn’t your decision to make for him.”“Someone needs to make it.”“And you’re volunteering because you love him, too.” My mouth curved. “Don’t you think that sounds ass-backwards?”

“Sein Gang war sexy und ließ erkennen, wie gut er im Bett war.”

“There was nothing so attractive as a powerful, handsome, and self-assured man.”

“Nie zuvor hatte ich so tiefschwarzes Haar gesehen. Dicht und glänzend reichte es ihm bis zum Kragen - eine sexy Länge, die dem erfolgreichen Geschäftsmann das Aussehen eines "Bad Boy" verlieh, wie Schlagsahne auf einem Schokobecher.”

“Oh, I’ll fight you,” she promised, her eyes clear of shadows. “That’s the way I roll.”

“Paul straightened, raking Elijah with a sweeping glance. “I’ve never seen a lycan shift so fast.” “Betcha never seen a lycan who’s nailing a vampress either,” Vash said. “Syre’s second, no less. It’s a whole new world.”

“He nuzzled her loosened vest off her shoulder and whispered in her ear. “One day soon, when you’re ready, I’m going to mount you like this. I’m going to ride you while you arch your neck for me. I’m going to mark you with my teeth. Fuck you. Mate with you. Then you’ll be mine, Vashti. Irrevocably. Every luscious, stubborn, dangerous inch of you. Mine.”

“You put your hand on Corinne's back like this again and I'm breaking your fingers.”

“She’s my mate; that makes her mine. Forgetting that will see your neck no longer serving its purpose.” “I love it when you talk dirty,” she purred. “Give my regards to Lindsay.”

“We were together because we were addicted to each other. I was never as intoxicated as I was when we were happy together, and I knew it was the same for him. We were putting ourselves through the wringer for those moments of perfection between us, but they were so tenuous that only our stubbornness, determination and love kept us fighting for them.”

“If I was any more pleased with you, I would lose what little remains of my sanity.”

“He could shred me so easily. A few words, a desperate look, and I was cut wide open.”

“Gideon opened his and read, “Prosperity will knock on your door soon.”I snorted.Cary shot me a look. “I know, right? You snatched someone else’s cookie, Cross.”“He better not be anywhere near someone else’s cookie,” I said dryly.Reaching over, Gideon plucked half of mine out of my fingers. “Don’t worry, angel. Your cookie is the only one I want.”

“...you showed me what love truly is just by giving yours so selflessly. I wasn't made for love. It wasn't [woven]into the fabric of my being. I didn't know what it was, what I was looking for, what I needed. I had no point of reference, no examples, nothing. Until you.”

“Until you, I didn't consider my past as an issue. Yes, it affected certain ways I did things, but everything had its place and I wasn't unhappy. In fact, I thought I had a comfortable and uncomplicated life.""Oh boy." My nose wrinkled. "Hello, Mr Comfortable. I'm Miss Complicated."His grin flashed. "Never a dull moment.”

“You hit me the instant I saw you." he said, gruffly. "I couldn't look away. I wanted you immediately. Excessively. Almost violently.”

“Sometimes love isn't enough. And if it's not enough, what good is it?”

“You and me, baby girl, we're too jaded. We just want mind-blowing sex with someone who knows we're fucked up and accepts it.”

“His kisses were gifts. He kissed with everything he had, with power and passion and hunger and love. He held nothing back, giving everything, exposing everything.”

“We knew our strengths and played up our assets. But we couldn't see what made us unique enough for someone to really love us.”
