“He explained to me that the reason he put his hand overmy heart,” he pressed his palm to his chest, “was to keep my soulsafe. A vampire is more powerful when he still possesses his giftfrom God.” He sucked in a painfully sharp breath. “I've never toldanyone that.”~Dorian”

“Dorian panted, dropping his head to her shoulder, hewhispered, his voice gruff, “Will you be mine for all eternity?”

“Bite," he rasped, "bite me."~Dimitri”

“The little kitten has claws", Dorian said intrigued. "I like that."~Dorian Vlakhos”

“I didn't know what to say, but my heart was racing as he slid his hands down to mine. He placed them on his chest, right above his heart. "I have hope," he said, his gaze never leaving mine. "I have hope because I love you-I've been in love with you, Avery. Probably before I even realized that I was.""You loved me?"Cam dropped his forehead to mine and his chest rose sharply under my hands. "I love you."My heart stuttered. "You love me?""Yes, sweetheart.”

“Reaching back, he gripped the thick, wooden headboard, stretching himself out before her, leaving himself vulnerable.”

“And I told you that one night wan't enough."Loki leaned down, kissing me deeply and pressing me to him. I didn't even attempt to resist. I wrapped my arms around his neck. It wasn't the we had kissed before, not as hungry or fevered. This was something different, nicer.We were holding onto each other, knowing this might be the last time we could. It felt sweet and hopeful and tragic all at once. When he stopped kissing me he rested his forehead against mine. He breathed as if struggling to catch his breath. i reached up and touched his face, his skin smooth and cool beneath my hand. Loki lifted his head so he could look me in the eyes, and I saw something in them, something I'd never seen before. Something pure and unadulterated, and my heart seemed to grow with the warmth of my love for him. I didn't know how it happened or when it had, but I knew it with complete certainty. I had fallen in love with Loki, more intensely than anything I had felt for anyone before.”
