“I love watching him think," Maeve told Lily. "You can almost hear that poor little hamster running and running on its wheel.”

“Sometimes the things that are good for you, in the long run, hurt for a little while when you first get to them.”

“He did run some, but I stopped him, my lord. Like, just now. In front of you. Right over there.”

“I nodded to her. Then I eyed Maeve. "What about you? Holding anything back?""I want to take you to my bower, wizard," Maeve said, and licked her lips. "I want to do things to you that give you such pleasure your brain bleeds.""Uh," I said.Her foxlike smile sharpened. "Also," she said, "my people are about to attempt to kill you.”

“I leaned into Karrin a little and said, next to her ear, "You ready for this?""Only a lunatic is ready for this," she said. I could hear her smile as she spoke. Then she turned her head and, before I could react, planted a kiss right on my mouth.I almost fell off the Harley.She drew her head back, flashed me a wicked little smile, and said, "For luck. Star Wars-style.""You are so hot right now," I told her.”

“You don’t have to run faster than the bear to get away. You just have to run faster than the guy next to you.”

“I've had sex that didn't feel as good as Maeve's smile.”
