“You think this necklace is a tailsman?""Yep, I'm not stupid Leif. I hang with Death, ya know.”

“Um,i'm going shopping for a dress for the Homecoming Dance with Miranda,Wyatt and Leif."Dank chuckled."So,Leif's wearing a dress?”

“Leif's frown eased and he slid his finger under my chin and gently caressed my jaw line with the pad of his thumb."Pagan,will you do me the honor of being my date for Homecoming Dance?The prospect of not being able to hold you in my arms all night is heartbreaking."Mirand sighed from across the table."Okay,that was beautiful.Why didn't you ask me like that?"she asked Wyatt.Wyatt shot Leif an annoyed frown."Thanks,buddy.Next time you decide to break out your romantic side,could you do it alone?”

“He isn’t like us Low. You know that right.” I knew what Cage was saying. Marcus was out of my league. He didn’t want me thinking there could ever be anything between me and his roommate. I was low class. Marcus was a rich kid.“I’m not stupid Cage.”

“I love you" I said, causing his face to contort in pain." I'm not a man so I do not have a heart that loves as a human does. I'm an immortal god that dwells with supreme power because I hold the keys to death. But you are my existence. I am yours.”

“You see somethin' ya want, baby?""Maybe. I'm checking things out. Seeing if I'm interested," I shot back with my own evil grin."I see something I want," he drawled as he came toward me."You do?""Hell yeah, I do," he murmured. "I love chocolate." What? My excitement turned to confusion. His arm reached out beside me and took the piece of chocolate cake I'd brought him.”

“Anyone who meets you and doesn't want to get to know you and be part of your life is stupid. I saw it when I was just a kid.""No. You thought I was a vampire and you wanted to be my friend so I wouldn't eat you.""Well, that too. But I found out soon enough you weren't a blood sucker and I still licked you.”
