“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.”

“My temper is under control," he roared, and yep, that display surely convinced Ares.”

“She'd read somewhere that normal, healthy men got up to twenty erections a day. Um...yep, Ares was definitely healthy.”

“Reseph had never been cruel or callous,had lived in fear of succumbing to his evil side. And if he was that bad now that his Seal had been broken… Ares was screwed.”

“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.”

But now I realize that belonging with someone is completely different. I belong with you, Con.""And I with you."He kissed her, sealing them together with a bond she didn't mind, and one that would never be broken.”
